Also didn’t A&E say in an interview ages ago that although you can have more than one true love in your life time, you can only have one true love at any time? So since Henry is Emma’s and Regina’s true love and is still around, it would makes sense for his kiss to be the one to break the dark one curse on her.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that whatever Adam and Eddy said in an interview doesn’t hold much water anymore.
Henry makes canonical sense: he’s already been established as her true love. And yes, there’s a delicious parallel to him saving her like she saved him back in S1.
However….I honestly don’t think that’s they way Adam and Eddy view this anymore. They like their big shiny shippy Tweetable moments. Hook breaking Emma’s curse with TLK on the 100th episode and saving her from a lifetime of being the Dark One? That’s pure Adam and Eddy and they wouldn’t pass that up for anything. They’ll do some sort of magnificent dance about how it’s both Hook and Henry by virtue of Henry’s presence in the story but that it had to be Hook’s kiss in the end.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Will the kiss come from Hook or Henry?
It’ll be Hook. There was a reason why they had Emma declare her love but not have a kiss. The writers want to save THAT for 511, which will also be the 100th episode of the series.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Not surprised that Elsa is on the cover but to make her the focus of it–a character who was only in 11 episodes–is just…*wrong* Yes, yes I know that the regulars will appear when you twist the cover or whatever but…*sigh*
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"We barely saw them interact when they were a couple, and we never even saw how they ended up together.
I thought we were supposed to hear how ScarlettBeauty got together? Am I misremembering an interview? At any rate I agree: Will was so utterly pointless. He never should have been brought over in the first place, especially since it turns out: no Jafar in 5A!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"….we are not discussing the ins and outs (pun intended) of dragon sex
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I’ve felt bad for the SQers for awhile now. They keep getting exactly what they want–Emma and Regina growing closer, working together as co-parents, friends and people who understand each other more than anyone else understands them–but it’s never going to be what the SQers ultimately want. The show can tease the heck out of it and make it all subtextual but it will never be brought to the surface.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I swear to god….OUAT! Merlin better have a talking Owl. That is literally all I’m asking for S5 right now
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"The QoD, at the end of the day, were place holders until the Author could be released in order to start the ramp up to AU-ville. Mal was the most developed but even then, her importance was about her daughter, not really herself.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"He’ll be an old white man with a beard. *ta da*
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Thank God! Lily Sparks’ review is up!
Aaaaand some highlights
OUAT spent an unprecedented two hours laboring under the assumption we are all here to see Regina and Robin and Emma and Hook make sheep’s eyes at each other. (Which I for one am not.)
He wrote his novel based on how the fairy-tale world would be if villains got their way. Except when Henry shows up and magics them both into the Alternate Universe Fanfiction Realm of Isaac’s book, that is not at all what has happened. He has made the villainous characters act heroic and the heroic characters act villainous. The premise posited what the world be like if the values of the villains gained the upperhand. What we saw instead was a costume switch. Regina dressed up as Outlaw Snow, Snow dressed up as Flock of Seagulls lead Mike Score Regina.
At the same time, do I think Emma would shoot a straight-up cannon into Dragon Lily? And then laugh triumphantly afterwards? I sure hope not.
OUAT does a lot of telling. It does so much telling, in fact, I think a lot of us dismiss what it’s saying, because it seems so overly obvious that we have to believe there is a deeper meaning. We want to solve what we’re seeing, because what we’re being told seems so shallow. We’re being told Robin is Regina’s true love and Emma is hiding her love for Hook. But what we’re seeing, by the end of the episode, is Regina sacrificing herself for Henry, and Emma sacrificing herself for Regina.
(not even an SQ fan but man they baited them last night…)
The show posits that what we understand to be fiction/fairy tales is actually the history of another realm. Okay fine. Then we find out that Authors wrote these fairy tales as the history of this realm, and also these Authors have magic pens that allow them to make literally anything happen with godlike omnipotence. But when Isaac uses that magic, the fiction he creates doesn’t count because none of it’s real? Because he wasn’t recording “reality?” So if Authors are recording a reality, why do they have that magic ability at all? Henry was so confused he broke his magic quill so he would not have that kind of power over his parents, and lie about their realities, even though they are all apparently fictional characters. I think? Guys. Help.
But OUAT is now approaching a tipping point where its entire plot hinges on figuring out what its plot is, and what it’s telling us the plot is does not especially acknowledge what we’re all seeing onscreen
