    I wouldn't fret there are already spoilers that Hook does team up with Regina but she snakily double crosses him in the next episode. It's gonna be the final thing that draws him to join Emma and the Charmings.

    Yeah, Thanks for the reminder- I read that late last night/early hours this morning, but was too tired to come back & post again lol.

    Certainly allowed me to sleep a little easier lol πŸ˜‰

    I can actually relate to this b/c it happened to me in real life. Not soon after I first got together with my boyfriend. My mom kept on pushing me and pushing to be friends with an old crush who broke my heart and I kept on pushing back on her b/c I was happy and couldn’t really understand why she was doing that. Then, it came out later to be a silly test then which upset my boyfriend and I very much.

    So that’s where I’m coming from.

    Sorry to hear that, it’s totally understandable that kind of thing would push your buttons then.

    I determine if I hate a character based on a combination of the character’s actions and the circumstances, including the character’s intent in doing what they did, not just the outcome.

    So for Neal, I find it hard to separate what he did from the fantastical β€œfate” and β€œCurse” circumstances set in the show. The best I can do for a real life parallel is some scenario involving a criminal organization and witness protection.

    I see the situation differently KFChimera.
    In my mind, Neal could have manned up & told Emma he was taking responsibility for his own actions & gone to prison himself.
    He could have explained that he loved her & wasn’t about to let her go to prison for his actions, that she deserved better than that & that a friend/August was going to look out for her while he was doing his time- failing that he could have simply gone & left her a note saying he had to put things right & August would look out for her while he was away- I could have lived with that πŸ˜‰
    Had she gone to prison as things stand now, but he had then waited for her in Tallahassee or even left her a letter saying he was sorry & if she could forgive him he’d be waiting at such & such etc, again I may be more forgiving- but he didn’t.
    For me his actions are just despicable, even given the circumstances, but then I’m looking at the situation through the eyes & life experiences of someone who is very loyal & has an exceptionally strong sense of justice, which is why I’m enjoying this thread- like you say, getting other peoples takes on why they dislike/hate a character, even one which you yourself may like/love is really very interesting (I love Hook/Killian, but I totally understand how others could really despise him, same with Rumple & Regina) πŸ™‚

    I hope so Phee.

    Not sure if Regina just wants to just use the beans to get away tho guys- she said “they will escape the total destruction of SB” to Hook.

    but yeah I think the episode set up CS very nicely. That final scene right after Neal’s quote was done on purpose. They could have put that scene near the middle of the episode but they decided to place the scene immediately before Hook’s awaited return, which connected back to what Bae told Emma.

    I must admit having just watched the promo for Ep20, I'm a little worried there. It seems Regina is going to try getting her Hook's into him ….. again.
    I actually said out loud “Oh, no you dont! Not again, come on” when that bit came on πŸ˜† … I've never talked to promos before lol- I can see my poor CS shipper heart flip flopping all over the place until I know the outcomes here & that is with know about them all going on the JR πŸ˜† πŸ˜‰

    Colin seems to get a long with everyone its so great and I don’t see him treating Henry badly in any way.
    they may or may not get a long at first, but I can see Henry being intrigued by Hook πŸ˜›

    Yep πŸ˜‰

    I agree.

    Interesting thread …

    I ‘strongly’ disliked Cora- I never felt any sympathy for her at any stage & was glad when she passed on (I know it’s bad to say, but she is the one character I just felt was plain old rotten, twisted, damaged to her core & beyond all repair- heart or no heart). She made her choice/s, could have chosen love at any point, yet she chose evil & power- not cool.

    George I don’t like- he’s a nasty piece of work, as was James, I didn’t enjoy seeing either one again this season.

    Rumple I love to hate sometimes- I just WISH he’d learn a ‘be good’ lesson & have it stick for any length of time!!!

    Regina I love to hate sometimes as well, for the same reasons as Rumple.

    Neal/Bae I’m not sure if I still dislike him or I’m just VERY, VERY disappointed in him- cant stand that he actively caused someone he supposedly loved- who was only 17yrs old!!! To be wrongly imprisoned for his own crime, then totally abandon her… that’s just beyond low in my mind. Then to not even say he’s sorry when they next meet some 10yrs later…..Grrrrrrrr, it just pressed all my buttons & I cant forgiven him yet.

    Tamara I dislike a lot atm- for what she is doing & for what she is going to do….. the women is horrid for cheating on Neal like she is & I’m not liking Owen for being ok with it all- it’s just gross.

    Edited to add: I forgot Pino/August & Gep- Oh man, I admit I really did Hate that arc in S1, I didn’t get it at all & hated Gep’s & August’s actions & choices from start to stop- I didn’t mind a bit when he was ‘rebooted’, not that Gep deserved it- it still drives me nuts lol.

    All I can say is FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

    Top 5 moments:
    Hook being back- Although the poor guy almost needs a medal for the amount of times he’s been bound this season alone πŸ˜†
    Emma at the docks reading her parents story & then pulling Regina up on her actions.
    Emma, Snow & Charming stuff.
    Rumple & Lacey’s date…until it went south.
    Henry practicing sword fighting.

    Lowest 5 moments:
    Rumple beating the custard out of a totally innocent victim πŸ™
    Rumple choosing to continue to beat the custard out of his victim, while Lacey stood there, enjoying watching it- sick 😈
    Lacey ditching Rumple.
    Regina going back to ‘childish’ EQ mode…again.
    Regina finding the beans.

    Awesome idea & great thread!

    Age: 31
    Marital Status: VERY Happily Single- Been in earth shattering love once & have no plans to do that again in a hurry (wish I had an adjustable dial, rather than an ‘on, off’ switch when it comes to love lol) πŸ˜‰
    I’ve only ever shipped one other show/couple before OUAT, so Once has brought the shipper out in me with 3ships!
    Ships:
    Snowing – They just belong together & complement each other in every way πŸ™‚

    CaptianSwan – Pretty much the same as Snowing, which is a big part of why I ship them (the similarities between these 2 couples is astounding!) Not to mention, as someone else did- Emma needs someone who she knows will NEVER abandon her- for any reason, Killian wont, he’s too loyal & honest to do that kind of thing & Emma (& Henry, who likes to see the good in people) will help him to live & ‘love’ again, let go of the past, as well as his vengeance/hate, as well as I LOVE underdog relationships πŸ˜‰ + it make sense story wise- nicely ends the Rumple/Milah/Hook(Killian) arc.

    QueenThief (Neal & Regina) – Mean’s Regina just isn’t Henry’s adoptive mother, it will make her truly family (in her mind ie. bound by blood) & her doubts over having Henry ‘taken’ from her will no longer be an issue for her + She & Neal balance each other out, she cant practice magic & stay ‘good’, Neal doesn’t like magic being practiced (I get the feeling Emma is starting to like her magical powers, given her reactions in E17), both love Henry & it would effectively complete their family unit by ending the Regina/Snow/Rumple/Emma arcs πŸ˜‰

    I like Rumbelle- because who doesn’t?! πŸ˜‰

    & since everyone seems to be adding star signs: Leo (explains the larger than life emotions & loyalty- though I’m very shy, so social butterfly & center of attention is sooooooo not me lol).

    I’d say from reading through this thread, that age & marital status really have little to do with ship preferences. Looks more like it comes down to back ground & life experiences πŸ˜‰
