Emma Swan hasn’t been the real Emma Swan for a long time. She’s largely become a virginized object through which a man’s redemption is focused. Couple this with her disregard for any kind of justice (be it with Hook’s victims, Regina’s or Rumple’s) which is antithetical to her Savior trope she’s not the same character as back in S1. Sure, regression of a character is totally a narrative device in TV writing (Walter White) but you have to regress into another type of person; Emma isn’t really a person anymore, IMO. She’s a set of ideas; ideas that are largely antiquated and misogynistic.
I will absolutely criticize her as much as Hook in this situation. However, while I do understand the internal workings of Hook in this situation he still made the same choice–a bad one. Is it sympathetic? Sure. Is it largely to provide shippers with a bigger more romantic proposal to get the Twitter birds a’tweeting? Sure. Is it still a wrong choice? YES.
And it does say something about their relationship when one half has to literally yell, “we have to stop lying at each other!” Meaning: we have fallen into an unhealthy cycle of lies, regret, action, forgiveness. Lather, rinse, repeat. There is something just wrong with a relationship–and the writers who write it– where this is what’s happening every single season/arc/important moment (and that goes for all the ships on this show! Still looking at you Rumbelle)
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Baby Snowflake got older? I know he was born in S3B but in reality that was actually only like…6 months ago? If that.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"So that’s Notorious, Conviction, and Time After Time.
Prediction on what’s next? Secrets and Lies, American Crime?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Lana on FB has “former actor at Disney”
If true Lana is the big surprise. I thought she’d stick around
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Just end it. If 90% of our cast is leaving just end it.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"He also said there would be llamas in this scene. They originally wanted camels, but there are no camels in Vancouver, and they would have had to ship camels in from LA…which apparently shipping animals across international borders is an issue! So, llamas.
…whyyyy
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Why would Hook need a car? Everyone just walks, runs, POOFs everywhere.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I think it’s going back to Sundays at 10. It’s retention of both The Bachelor and DWTS is absolutely horrible.
Agreed. The spot after Bachelor/DWTS is a premo spot. ABC is sorta wasting it right now.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Quantico adjusted down to a 0.7, matching last week’s. Artificial boosts in fast results will probably be common for this show due to Dancing with the Stars overruns.
.7 isn’t horrible (a few years ago, this statement would have been laughable for non-CW shows) but I think there is a question of if the show can be sustained for TWO years because if they renew for S3 then a S4 almost feels automatic to appease the Syndication Gods.
