–what realm is Hook trapped in??
–does Emma tell Charming and Snow why Hook is gone?
–so the flashback takes place during the Lost Year? Before Ariel finds Hook?
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Pretty much agree with Rainbow and i would add that the two newbies–whoever they are in universe–are joining full time.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Looking at other ABC dramas…
Time After Time got a .4 which is unchanged from last week.
American Crime dropped to a .3 which is horrible! ABC needs to move Quantico back and burn off American Crime in the summer. Or something!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I think my biggest issue is possibly with Charming and Hook. Charming needs to learn the whole story–not just that Hook killed Robert. Charming needs to learn that Robert was on his way home, wanting to be a better man for his son, that he begged for his life for the sake of his son, and still Hook killed Robert. This is a formative moment in Charming’s young life, something that really affected him. It baffles me that Charming could ever truly accept Hook after learning the whole story.
And to be fair, it baffles me that this family could ever have dinner together after all the staby-staby
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Yeah that sounds like a renewal to me as well. I think the bigger question is who stays/who goes.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"This can’t resolve with some sort of act, it’s needs to be a conversation. And what does it say about Emma that she’s willing to forgive just about anything simply because the guy came back with the show’s equivalent of flowers and candy? What happens the next time one of them lies to the other? Just do another good deed? It’s a cycle. And not a healthy one.
And just to head something off at the pass–I have said the same thing about Rumbelle a ship I really used to adore, so this isn’t just coming from an anti-CS POV. He does something bad or lies about it, she gets angry, they separate, he does a good thing, she takes him back. The writers keep writing these abusive cycles and it’s *really* disconcerting.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I think the half hours were .9 across both halves so I think we might actually maintain that next week unless people were super turned off by “Page 23.” The next drop might come at episode 16 but not 15.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Ratings are in for episode 6×14 “Page 23”
Demo: 0.9
Eyeballs: 2.95 million
That is an increase of .1 in our demo from last week.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"It’s alright, second proposal will be better, and he won’t be drunk this time.
That’s what I’m hoping for as well. Emma is going to think that Hook left her. She is going to be devastated. And then Hook is going to come back and save the day somehow (Gideon seems to think that’s a possibility), and save her life and then propose properly and tell Charming himself after he breaks the Snowing curse. The only reason for the writers to squander this moment for him to come clean himself and own up to it is because they are planning a much bigger moment for Hook. Emma saved him in the UW and now he’s going to save the Savior. That’s my prediction and the reason why Hook hasn’t had his “moment” yet. It’s coming…
This bothers me for a lot of reasons so I’ll just bullet point them
1) They need to stop lying to each other. It’s what Emma said this week. The idea that Hook can show up like a pirate out of a Harlequin romance novel and “save the day” and be forgiven is absurd. There’s a deep wound here, not only because of the lies to Emma but also to Charming. This can’t resolve with some sort of act, it’s needs to be a conversation. And what does it say about Emma that she’s willing to forgive just about anything simply because the guy came back with the show’s equivalent of flowers and candy? What happens the next time one of them lies to the other? Just do another good deed? It’s a cycle. And not a healthy one.
2) Hook breaking the Snowing curse would have as much emotional weight as one of Robin’s feathers. He might be friendly with the couple nowadays but it’s nowhere near as potent as having Emma break it, or even Regina break it. It’s a much more powerful statement if their daughter breaks the curse or their greatest enemy who’s darker half was responsible for this. It gives Hook a moment of glory and robs the story, IMO.
3) Emma didn’t save Hook in the UW. She literally left him. Hook had be deus ex machina’d by Zeus, remember?
