True North is one of those episodes I didn’t fully appreciate at the time. But looking back, we learned a lot about Emma, about her feelings of being an orphan, and even about the identity of Henry’s father. We also were first introduced to August in that episode, one of the greatest mysteries of season one. It was actually a good episode, with a lot of positive messages about family always finding each other, as represented by the father of Hansel and Gretel finding and embracing his children.
Hehehe, I kind of want to steal your reasons for my own now slurpeez 😉
[adrotate group="5"]This is going to be an unpopular thought but I do agree that CS wasn’t planned from the beginning because of the rights issue. The writers may have had the idea, they may have even had a back up idea just in case they didn’t get the rights. But until they had the rights, they couldn’t really go with CS until they knew it was a certainty. Once they got the rights, they probably started playing around with it but I don’t think CS was planned when they were filming the pilot.
Well yes, they couldn’t have gone with CS until they had the rights (and to see whether the actors had chemistry, which according to DVD commentary one of the writers was really happy when they found Colin) but the point is that it was planned. If they couldn’t get rights to Captain Hook in the first season, they could have ditched that character and went down another path, but they didn’t. They eventually got the rights and went down the path they wanted to. It may not have been the exact same path, but I’m sure the inkling was always there. I would have love to know how different first season would be if Captain Hook was there from the start. Who would he have been in Storybrooke under the first curse? Would Emma and him got together before the curse ended? Would getting his memories back turn him back into the revenge-fuelled pirate? So many questions!
I do wonder if they might be bringing Neal back because of the sudden spurt of Neal references. I think Emma and Neal need to properly lay that whole chapter to rest once and for all. As strange as it seems, I would’ve liked for them to bring Milah back rather than Marian (a bit difficult because of the way she died) but the aftermath would’ve been so much richer. There would be lots of angst for Hook and CS because when he’d finally moved on, the woman he spent centuries avenging returned to his life, plus Milah would create trouble for Rumple. Two couples connected by one character plus we wouldn’t have to endure Regina’s whining. So yeah, interested to see where the Rumple/Hook blackmail plot is going to go.
I really hope they don’t bring Neal back. Personally I don’t think bringing Milah back would have the same repercussions that bringing Marion back has. For one, Killian was never married to Milah, so there’s no vow to keep, a la Robin. It’s basically Hook’s love of Emma which stopped his vengeance kick, he changed to be worthy of her. Whereas Killian didn’t have to change to have Milah’s love, they were pirates together and I think Hook would realise that Milah was his first love and not his true love. It’s similar to the whole Neal thing, I know a lot of Nealfire fans like to think Neal was getting back with Emma when he came back into her life, but he so wasn’t. Emma was moving on (and onto Hook) and The New Neverland and Going Home show where her affections lie. She didn’t get a chance to act on those feelings before she was ripped away from her family. I think in the end Emma realised that Neal was her first love, but she had moved on. I think it would be the same for Killian if Milah appeared back in his life. It would be quite mean to Milah to bring her back. Both men in her life have moved on to greener pastures (I’m not a Milah-shamer, but she really didn’t bring the best out in her men) and her son is dead. I think it’s nicer for her that she stay dead. I’m concerned about what they’re going to do with Marion. Robin has pretty much said he loves Regina. And surely he can’t stay in a loveless marriage, that’s not fair on either on them. The easily solution is to have Marion killed, but that’s just a cop out. Unless there is an awesome twist somewhere, I think they’ve painted themselves into a corner.
I totally agree with all of this & have nothing more to add to the points @ellemo78 has made 🙂
Sweet love of all that’s Holy!!! I can actually SEE this site, READ it in ENGLISH, and POST!!!
I have missed everyone!! It was so weird, I was getting all the posts in my email but I couldn’t get to the site to respond!! It was like being trapped in a sound proof world where no one knew I existed – it was so frustrating!!! I was screaming responses and jumping up and down but no one knew I was there!!

Okay, to make up for my grumbling, here’s a picture that I saw on Tumblr this morning and it definitely gave me the warm fuzzies (and that’s not easy to do!):
<p class=”wp-caption-text”>“Someday my prince will come…”And thanks very much for the YouTube videos of the CS scenes, @surayya…I’ll need to rewatch those without the terrible scenes in between so I can fully appreciate them.
I’m not great at posting pictures, especially when they’re gif sets from Tumblr, but there’s a really funny one that I wanted to try to post. I’m off to give it a try.
