What exactly does the NY City government website have to do with anything?
Storybrooke is in Maine and the only other place the residents ever mentioned was Boston.
Regina didn’t contact the state, she contacted Boston Children’s Services.
I don’t get the Boston referrences, either, but, something’s up with that 😉
Ok, she contacted Boston’s DCS. Boston is in MA, and Storybrooke is in ME. Who does she know in Boston? How does she know them? Any FTL people? This is making me think, because it’s making me wonder if Oncewatcher has a point. What if the curse’s influence spans out, from beyond Maine?

Don’t care about Hook stayin or leavin, only wish these posts about Hook would stop. Get a grip peeps!
I’m glad the conversation about Hook dying has stopped, but I don’t mind people talking about him. I’d like to talk about him. I like Captain Hook. He’s my favorite character, and he’s the reason I joined the board.
Nothing to say about him right now, but I might want to tomorrow, who knows. I just hope nobody fusses at me for it when I get the hair to do so.

Colin O’Donoghue will be returning as he’s been promoted to series regular. I think all speculation regarding the death/end/demise of his character should stop. It’s only upsetting the fans who are keen on his return when the show resumes. Until that time, let’s all just endure the weeks ahead, and see what happens then.
Cheers, and Happy Holidays to All.
Amen! Happy Holidays! 😀

Hey, Oncers!
Make some noise for your favorite tv show!
A link to Wetpaint’s poll is below.
😀
Go and vote and make some noise! This one here is for the boys! 😀
I love Captain Hook and will be mad if he doesn’t stay on the show. Much a fan as I am, this is even getting old for me if that tells you anything. These posts about Hook dying have run their course. Stop it. Please.

I agree with Toothfairy. Just because I don’t like a character doesn’t mean I want them dead. If you don’t like Hook, fine. If you don’t like Neal, fine. If you don’t like anybody else, fine. I know it’s just a character on a tv show, but yeeeeesh! Sorry, this is just my opinion, but I think the only one out there who anybody should be wishing dead is “The Dark One”, hopefully not meaning Rumpelstiltskin. That probably won’t happen for a long time (if, at all) though. It’s kind of like Lost In Space, or Star Trek Voyager. Once they’re not lost anymore, it’s show over.
Never said I wanted him dead. Just said it was depressing (to me) that he was a regular (because that means we’ll be seeing him lots and I don’t like him). That doesn’t mean dead.
Also, Hook will definately be redeemed. People who are saying Hook can’t be redeemed and will be killed instead, I have no idea how they came to that conclusion. It’s just so obvious that Hook wil let go of his revenge, for Emma. But he doesn’t need to change, because he’s Emma’s match, all he has to do is let go of his revenge, which has blinded him for years.
Could happen. I don’t see how this is obviously going to happen (i.e. I don’t see the obviousness in it), but it could – anything could happen. I sure hope this doesn’t. I don’t want Hook with Emma at all. Whether he’s redeemed or not is neither here nor there for me (I kind of like him bouncing around from side to side depending on who is offering what or what he ate for breakfast that day).
I’m personally not a “shipper” (not on this show anyways), mostly because I love absolutely everything Adam and Eddie have written for it so far and I have full trust that they will put the characters with the people they belong with – if they belong with anyone. I also don’t believe that fan outcry would stop them from killing a character they originally planned to kill (not saying they planned to kill Hook, just saying they could have, and I don’t think fans liking him will make them completely 180 their story).
I’m curious to know what “magic” Cora/Hook will retain from their journey to SB, and if it will be just as difficult for them to use as it is for Regina/Rump… until we kind of have an idea of this, I personally don’t really have any theories about what is going to happen when the show returns.
Not to be nasty or anything….just truthful:
OnceWatcher, another poster on this forum said something a while back (I had to search for it, and read the conversation to get familiar with it again). OW’s concern was that a lot of writers take their viewers for granted. Yes, the show is theirs. However….where would any show be without its viewers? Would viewers stop watching a program, if its writers tell the people who they serve, than they are worthless to them? Like it or not, there is a relationship between a show, and its viewers. What kind of a relationship is this? OW said that viewers are sometimes regarded as rag dolls. I don’t know about “rag dolls”, but I do think there is a point here. If fan outcry isn’t taken seriously, then why make decisions which are non-advantageous to a program’s success? Can these people see the forest, for the trees?
A lot of people may not remember a tv miniseries called “10th Kingdom” that aired in 2000. Scott Cohen, the actor who portrayed “Wolf” said that he still has an old worn-out pair of shoes in his closet that came from the days before he “made it” in Hollywood. His wife wanted for him to throw those away, but he said no. The reason: perspective. He wanted to remember his roots. He didn’t want to loose his humility.
I know this takes the flow of conversation off topic so maybe this debate needs to be opened up somewhere else, but I do believe this is something worth more discussion. Not just where Once Upon A Time is concerned, but about the overall health of the show/viewer relationship in general.
I have an idea. It’s more for the board moderator, though.
Anytime there is an appealing character who is new to the show, like Hook (Presently, Hook is the hot topic. Colin O’Donoghue is adorable, the character is intriguing, the possibilities are amazing, and all this added together has made for a lot of conversation), what if there were a special topic for special handling?
Here’s what I mean: When Neal Cassidy comes back on the scene, and when Barrett shows up, if a lot is done with these characters, I expect that they will draw a lot of conversation. Anytime a new character or topic is getting so much attention, what if everything regarding that character were moved to a special place? The board’s topics have General Discussion, Spoilers, etc. What if there were also “Special Handling: Hook”, or “Special Handling: Neal”? When things cool down, this topic can be closed, the items can be moved (in batch) to general discussion, and then the topic can be replaced with another (i.e. Special Handling: [Fill in the blank]) when needed.
Just an idea to help organize things.

Vows? I wonder who’s taking vows? Snow and Charming are in desperate needs for a marriage license. So, that could be cool
Snow and Charming were always married. The so called marriage between him and Kathryn was the lie. Never happened as David was in a coma the whole 28 years, It was just a false memory input into his and Kathryn’s thoughts courtesy of Reggie.
A wedding would be cool though 🙂 Maybe they can renew their vows aboard the Jolly Roger and Hook can officiate as he is a sea Captain. 😆
I love that idea. Captains can mary people.
😀
1 We get to keep Captain Hook
2 More Captain Hook
3 Neal is Peter Pan and Baelfire
4 They don’t split up David and Mary Margaret anymore
5 A love interest for Ruby
6 The evil queen stays right where she’s at
7 Goodbye, Cora
