Maybe this is a horribly misguided way to make us feel sympathy for a pregnant mother so they don’t have to kill Zelena off?
I can’t help but wonder if Zelena is just lying to Robin to try and keep him. Maybe she’s not really pregnant. I shudder to think of Zelena being a mom.

So much for Lily being the biological daughter of Snow and Charming. If Lily is a dragon, too, then she is definitely Mal’s biological daughter.

This question was raised by @Keb but if the Apprentice has been watching over Lily, then why didn’t he step in like 15 years ago? Raise her himself?
Maybe he wanted Lily to become tough and street smart, like Emma. Who the heck knows? I don’t trust the Apprentice or the Sorcerer anymore than I do the Blue Fairy. Forever shady.

I still can’t help but wonder if Lily is to become the next Sorceress or Apprentice. She was marked with a star. It’s almost like she was sought out, or tasked, or fated for greatness by the Apprentice and/or Sorcerer.

Pillar of smoke. The Sorcerer is God.
Actually, he could just be like the Wizard of Oz. Maybe it’s all just smoke and mirrors?
Or maybe it’s Merlin in disguise.

Good writing choice? Bad writing choice?
Very predictable…and not in a good way. A few weeks ago we were joking around about “sister wives” ….Eeek! How little did we know that those things would become fact in the show.

What does this mean for both characters?
Could Emma and Lily be destined to be Savior and Anti-Savior?
Can they help each other? Or hinder each other? Can you really break fate?
Fate is one of those funny things. Regina said fate pushes us (e.g. Regina adopted the Savior’s son ), but our actions are our own. Whether one can break fate is interesting. For example, Rumple made it so that Emma would be the savior when he added a drop of TL potion on the curse parchment. Does that mean Emma was fated to be the Savior, no matter what, or did she have a choice in it? Could Emma have escaped her fate, even if she’d wanted?

Happy Birthday, RG!
The show used to have heart, characters who talk to one another and subtle emotions and scenarios that had us eager to speculate and discuss, even debate what is good and what is evil. Some still try, but it becomes harder and harder to take any of it seriously when PLOT continues to trump all world-building or character building, and when the writer’s morality from their commentary about what they think they’ve written seems so twisted and odd (and contradictory).
@KFC – THAT! Nice to read your insights, as always.
Every storyline and moral quandary is only “arc only.” It’s like I’m expected to wipe my memory after 11 episodes so that A and E can present something new each arc, another story with a different moral thesis but one that runs against the previous stories and morals.
There should be a disclaimer at the start of every episode like at the start of a movie to turn off a cell phone: “Please, turn of your brain, now.

I think Dark Emma and Hook are going to be the equivalent of Lacey and Rumple. They don’t bring out the best in each other. Hook tries to play it smooth around Emma, but he’s always struggling to submerge his darker streaks around her and to cover up his shady actions (e.g. punching Will). At least he acknowledges that he may be in the villain’s column, despite Emma’s instance that he has a mark in the hero’s column. (Almost seems like Hook sees himself more clearly while Emma refuses to acknowledge she’s dating someone still bent on revenge). Now that Emma is turning into Black Swan, I almost think that Hook’s darkness will begin to surface more around her. It’s almost like they’re going to feed off of each others’ dark vibes, the same way Rumple and Lacey did. Emma going dark may almost give Hook permission to let his true colors show and not try and pretend to be a man of honor. Also, Emma really shouldn’t be dating someone who openly struggles with darkness since she has heart with the darkest potential. Emma holding Will Scarlet on trumped up charges of crashing her date with Hook is just one example of the bad attitude Emma has as a direct consequence of dating Hook–yet another reason why Hook is Emma’s Mr. Wrong.

THIS! (warning, profanity)
Sad – Emma was one of my favorite characters since S1. Her character really started to grow intolerable for me in S3 when Emma Swan actively convinced Past Rumple not to save Neal, continued when Emma ignored her son’s wishes by dating a misogynist pirate who left her for dead, and progressed to the point of demonizing her own parents while sympathizing with and relating more to actual murderers. The total destruction of Emma will soon be complete once she turns into Black Swan–the next Big Bad of S5. Congrats writers, the character assassination of Emma Swan is nearly finished; you’ve “successfully” turned your protagonist into an antagonist, thereby making her unrelatable, unpalatable and unsympathetic. I hope you’re happy, writers!
