    I’ll be on here Sunday for the show 🙂 it’s the finale! It’s our ship together in the spotlight! Lets all try & be in the chat this Sunday! I think I can find a link to share with everyone and we can watch it at the same time so we won’t have to worry about time zones? I’ll share it here & all of us CSers can watch together & feel safe using the chat

    What an awesome idea KJ! I love it 😀 Thank you 🙂

    What I found interesting about his death is that the writers seemed to have wanted to be able to have Neal repeat his father’s mistake to complete a story arc but also be able to blame Zelena for his death. I don’t think it worked out very well because I don’t really blame Zelena for Neal’s death. She gave him the gun but he was ultimately the one that pulled the trigger. Now if she would have taken Belle and threatened her life if he didn’t do it or threaten to hurt Emma/Henry then it would definitely be Zelena’s fault but then Neal would have had his hand forced and wouldn’t be following in his father’s footsteps. By blaming Zelena though they were able to martyr Neal, make Zelena look more “wicked” and give some justification to Rumple betraying Belle’s trust

    TBH-I TOTALLY Agree with you here & it is a large part of why I’m so disappointed with Rumple lying to Belle & killing Zelena- She didnt kill Neal, Neal killed Neal.

    WW may have given Neal the “Option” of using Dark Magic (the consequences of which Neal is well aware of & intimately acquainted with- given who raised him & why he ran…portaled away), esp in trying to “bring someone back from the dead”. Neal may have had his problems but he wasnt a fool nor simpleton- he knew bringing his father back from the dead would come at a high price (Geeze, even Hook knew it!)- he didnt care, he was warned & cautioned by Belle against continuing with his course of action, but he didnt stop to question what would be & who would pay the price- to his cost.

    Did this work in Z’s favor, yes, but it wasnt her who told Neal to do it- Neal Chose to do it himself, so Rumple “blaming” WW for killing Bae & justifying his murdering her, makes no sense/is illogical- but as you go on to say, it’s the direction they went in, so we have to suck it up & deal with it lol 😉

    Hook mostly gets hated on here because he was a major threat to SF happening + His sole purpose was to kill Rumple, for pretty much all S2- so that was doubly bad lol :p Then some people got on their soap boxes when he hit then shot Belle, so you could say he butted heads with an established ship & with a head canon ship… not exactly the best start for him lol.

    But I promise you guys- there’s very very little Hook hate outside of this forum these days- most of the sites I started to avoid due to the hate levels are now “safe” places to visit again…. this site seems to be one of the last SF/Hook is evil strong holds left  🙂

    I do agree with Obisgirl- I very rarely venture into chat, as there are a few members whom I simply cant stand the attitude of & it’s easier to stay away (I dont mind people having opinions- thats fair enough & expected, I do mind having to justify or defend “why” I like what I like etc. or have my opinion countered by someone elses- ie. I cant stand when someone says I love/like/ship so & so, then someone else pipes up with why they hate/dislike so & so- that drives me insane lol)

    I do admit sometimes I get a little exasperated with the show- but it’s mostly after my 2nd viewing has sunk in & I notice something/s have gone against already established fact in show Or someone is doing something stupid….again & I REALLY want them to learn from their past mistakes *1st sign of being waaaay to invested right there lol* (which isnt helped by my being highly logical, so Once helps me balance that trait lol) & ok, Emma was kinda ticking me off until last ep, when I just went “Ok, so her problem is she’s pushing him away because she is scared/terrified of her feelings for him/she knows she could have everything she wants-family & true love in SB, but it could all be taken away from her after she lets it all in, since that always happens to her & thats why she’s miss snarky snark & has the NY/NY/New friggn York mind set”. But I’d never bash A&E for my response to their story, it’s their story- we’re ALL just along for the ride! I do like to poke fun at some of the corny ways they take us sometimes, but it’s all in fun, not hate 😉 I just dont understand the mind set of people determined to continue watching something that no longer brings them pleasure, just so they can moan about it to others 🙁

    Anyway…..It’s almost 2am here, so I’m about to go to bed (thankfully i can function on 4-5hrs sleep still lol), but I saw this on FB & just had to share it here 🙂

    LOL- I love it 🙂

    Fantastic idea! Id love it @rumplegoldfan!

    I wonder if we could arrange a time before or/& after the show to catch up in chat as a group, as I’m sure those who watch on TV also have different time zones to take into account?

    I’d really love to take part in a live chat session though…will have to see if I can figure something out…. OH, wait! I might be able to use my old laptop!!!!!! I can hook my sony laptop up to the big screen TV to stream (since I cant stream outside of NZ off of it :/ ) the show & chat off of my old laptop while watching (means finding it & pulling it out of retirement this weekend to re-figure out windows 7 again lol- but that’ll be easier than trying to figure out away to have 2 windows running side by side on windows 8 lol)

    Squeeeeee- that could work!!!! (might even try for the free week trial of hulu so I can stream in 720p) 🙂 Excited now- count me in for live chat @rumplegoldfan (I’m so glad I have most of Mon off- fate smiled on me for a change!!!) 😀 🙂

    If there are other CS shipper in chat I will join in- if we cant be there around the same time, I probably will stay away- since I HATE the negativity & find it hard to not get abrupt & annoyed when I’m all excited for what’s happened & just want to celebrate, yet see people poo-pooing our Ship or Pirate.

    So please Guys lets all live chat if we can! 🙂

    I honestly am starting to really like this idea- as much as I love OQ…. because it would add tension, but then how do you justify that- does the past changing changing the future person/people involved enough to impact their current selves or what? What I mean is will OQ no longer be together if this theory turns out to be true, or will they still be together but Regina now has a horrible secret or what? This is going to be an EPIC episode! Cant wait- so much CS goodness!!! 2hrs of the adventures of Emma & Killy!!!!!!! *passes out of excitement overload*

    It’s kind of funny being on this forum/chat sometimes, as honestly in the wider fandom the majority LOVE Hook & CS (I even had a peek on an old site i used to visit that was VERY anti Hook & CS at the beginning of S3, but it is now at least 2/3rds pro CS- Hook- it was really amazing to see tbh), so when I happen to stumble across the delusional posts & chat talk of Hook causing numbers/ratings to fall, that the fandom in general doesnt like Hook or CS etc. It has me shaking my head & laughing that Emma isnt the only one with her head in the sand & her brain checked out of reality :p …. I mean there is a lot of Hook hate/haters on this site, but that is not the general consensus with in the fandom & the only reason CS & Hook love isnt more widely represented on this site, is the constant negativity/hate we have already had tossed at us, our ship & our fav/1 of our fav characters, has chased a number of our ship mates off of this site altogether already 🙁

    I honestly think that Emma is far less delusional in her belief that NY is the best place for her, than the same few members of this site who insist Hook/CS is everything wrong with the show.

    Yes it would throw a spanner in the works of OQ @callmelola which is why it’s probably spot on- OQ have had it just a little to easy by Once standards 😉 Think next season CS’ers maybe able to hand over some of the angst to the OQ shippers :/

    LMAO!!!!!! Hook centrics dont tank the ratings- I believe Good Form had the highest ratings in the season at the time it aired & Jolly Roger was one of the most watched shows on the night it aired (I’m pretty sure it pushed Once into the top 20 or top 10 most watched shows)- which is hardly tanking. There is a “General” downward trend with “Most” shows numbers this year. I think this last ep has been one of the lowest to date (I guess the general audience is getting sick of Emma’s delusions as well now lol), or maybe it just seems that way since Once has been on a high the last couple of weeks.

    It will be interesting when S3 finishes to find out what the seasons highest rated & lowest rated episodes were.

    & I’ve just seen this theory, which would fit IF Emma & Hook messed with the timeline & were trying to correct it:

    Ohhhh, I’m loving this theory from the Captain Swan FB page- I’ll spoiler block it just in case:

    So when Killian & Emma fall through timeportal they somehow accidentally interrupt Snow & Charming’s falling in love.
    (And then Rumpel’s “What have you done?! Because Snow & Charming falling in love will likely be Rumpel’s doing. Since he needs them to fall in love, and have a baby to get back to his son.)
    And because Snow & Charming don’t fall in love, Snow is likely always alone, which makes her an easier target for Regina. Thus, Regina captures Snow and wants to burn her at stake.
    Charming will marry Abigail, just like planned, because he hasn’t fallen in love with another woman.
    And then, Killian & Emma attend Charming & Abigail’s wedding in order to prevent it from happening. But they may or may not already be too late

    I could totally see that being how it all plays out!
