Probably 0.6 next week. Then it’ll be 0.7-0.8 for the rest of the season.
I think that sounds about right
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Oof! Did not see that coming, honestly. Big question: where is our ratings floor?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"When I saw the heart pull I assumed that meant that every interaction Gideon had with Rumbelle in dream world or in Storybrooke was basically controlled by Black Fairy and unless they say otherwise that’s what my headcannon will be because I’d much rather have the hurtful things Gideon said be coming from BF than from Gideon himself in some weird time paradox.
Totally get wanting to headcanon that. I guess I just don’t get *how* and this is one of those things where I find it super hard to suspend disbelief because at the point where Belle was trapped in the Dream World and interacting with her son, Gideon was–at most–3 weeks old? If that! The Black Fairy hadn’t pulled his heart which would have been microscopic and I’m not sure how far her influence extends without a heart. Now it could be, with the revelation that she made the Dark Curse and somehow got that to the EF and perhaps has been pulling multiple threads in our story, her influence extends quite a bit into other worlds and she’s able to control everything, including a just conceived fetus in an imaginary dream world.
My BUT here is that if she’s *that* powerful then 1) why bother taking his heart at all and 2) is there really no way she could free herself from her realm without the aid of the Emma-Sword.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Ratings for 6×16 are delayed from Neilsen. Hopefully they don’t make us wait for almost an entire week like last time.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"It transports people and places them under a curse, and at the same time it creates a “Savior” who is destined to break that curse
But not really. Emma is the Savior because of her parents truest love but also, and this is a big part, because Rumple made her the Savior. He put a drop of that true love potion from Snowing’s hair on to the Dark Curse. He altered it so that Emma was the Savior but it wasn’t part of the Curse’s DNA to begin with.
Since S1 the Curse has become difficult to parse in terms of “what does it do?” The one Snow cast did not have Emma as a Savior and without any machinations from Snow and Charming, Regina was the one who broke the Curse but she is not designated as a Savior. It did, however, recreate Storybrooke. The one cast in Camelot by Nimue using Merlin’s heart did not have any sort of Savior to break it (Emma simply gave her family back the memories) nor did it create Storybrooke since it was still in existence. It did transport people but that’s all.
I guess we can say that the Black Fairy saw that Rumple would make Emma a Savior so she left a deliberate hole in the Curse–a hole Rumple would fill with Emma–and the Black Fairy likewise knew that Rumple’s hole filler would be the key to her release. That’s rather complicated and twisty.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I have a question, if the Black Fairy has Gideon’s heart was that Gideon in the dream world or Gideon being controlled by the Black Fairy
I guess that was just Gideon? Feeding on Belle’s own fears about Rumple and “seeing” bits of Rumple’s past
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"If are going to have the Black Fairy enact a dark curse, then who is the heart of the thing that she loves most?
My gut feeling says Rumple. I know what we’ve seen but that’s how these writers roll–the villain is set up as having no attachments or feelings toward a certain character and then BAM, reversal of emotion usually happens during a flashback that lets us in on why they presented themselves as cold and indifferent in the first place.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"This Saturday!
Also, did everyone hear the news that Bill–the new companion–will be the first openly gay character in Doctor Who? I guess they consider Jack a pansexual instead of bisexual. Anyway, I’m excited to see what they do with Bill but also nervous that they’ll flub this up.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"December 15, 1901 was a Sunday, not a Wednesday, so I don’t know what Isaac’s license plate means, but it obviously means something.
Walt Disney was born on Dec 5, 1901 🙂
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"So, Gideon managed to make it do that more literally: it absorbed the greatest hero power there is (savior-ness), and channeled it for Gideon to use?
I wonder if that was the purpose of the sword, then, when it was made by Blue: it’s been killing heroes and making others appear to be heroic since day one. Sneaky Fairy is still Sneaky Fairy.
Did anyone else find it strange the flashbacks started with the Black Fairy carrying baby Gideon through the sky and not with her overpowering Blue and stealing him as Blue claimed to have happened? I
Yes.
