I don’t believe Henry will be much of an obstacle to CS happening. If he were S2 or S3A Henry, I would have concerns about his willingness to accept Hook as Emma’s boyfriend, but S3B Henry is a different kid. He’s not only a year older than he was, and more mature (I was really impressed with his attitude to Emma’s love life in New York City Serenade) but he also has dual memories. The old Henry probably would have clung to Neal as the “ideal” for Emma but now he has memories of the hurt his mother experienced with Neal and by his own admission, wants nothing more than to see his mom happy (both his moms actually, given how thrilled he was meeting Robin). Henry bonded with Hook and liked him, and I don’t see that changing. I’d love to have more Colin and Jared adventure scenes. Henry can introduce Hook to the joys of the GPS.
Agreed.

http://cms.springboardplatform.com/previews/677/video/951093/0/0/1 🙂Guys i am trying to start a topic but i forgot how we started it and i can’t figure out how can you help me
If you want to start a new topic in say “General discussion and theories”, then just scroll down to the bottom of the “General discussion and theories” page & everything is there for you to start a new topic/thread (looks like this part of a thread, but there’s an area for you to put in the title of the topic you wish to discuss) 🙂
The Snow thread is getting a bit interesting, but I agree the Regina thread was going in circles. I suppose because she’s so polarizing. I mean, I like Regina and love OQ but you can’t really boil Regina down to ‘it’s not her fault, it’s everyone else’s’. Even that argument is stripping Regina down to just being a big ol’ victim…and Regina would probably have opinions about THAT! (You know if she were real and all)
Oh, is it- I might have to pop in there tomorrow then.
As for Regina, she is polarizing- I used to not be able to understand how she could possibly be redeemed after everything she has done… she has done some VERY dark, evil stuff after all, but now I can see she wants to change & I think that makes the difference for me (plus it’s a fictional tv show lol 😛 ). Regina at the end of the day has brought a lot on herself, she has had chances to change or take a better path, but she allowed Rumple to suck her back into it, that lead to the whole “RH is your soul mate/TL” thing, which lead to her not accepting it & “ruining more lives than just her own” with the decision. So the way I look at it is, Regina is no more a victim than anyone else on the show, but she is less of a victim than many on the show (since many have been victimized by her actions & only 2people have victimized her with theirs) & now she is simple paying the price with the repercussions of the decisions she made in the past. A&E where never just going to hand her a HEA on a gold plate.After the finale and seeing Hook in that brown coat, I don’t want him to wear modern clothes anymore. Keep him in fairytale clothes. I’m fine with that.
I’m with you there 😉
Thanks for the links @polythenepam- I’d voted for both already, but didnt know we could vote again- so thanks for the heads up on that 🙂
Loved this meta 🙂
“I’d go to the end of the world for her… or time.”
“He sees Emma approaching but he doesn’t smile – instead he glances down at his flask – she’s caught him drinking. At first glance it seems as if Hook is outside having a drink alone because he’s a bit down. Sad that after all he and Emma have been through she still doesn’t love him. Even after witnessing the birth of her parents love – which was so very like their own meeting. Even after realizing that Henry had brought to Storybrooke not to break a curse but to bring her home – just as he himself had done for her. Even after facing the death of her mother – and possibly the end of her own existence – together. Even after all that her heart is still closed to him. He could be numbing himself because he’s heartbroken that Emma cares for him – but not in the way he cares for her.
For he’s given all he can for her and she still hasn’t opened her heart to him – but Killian Jones isn’t complaining. In fact Killian Jones isn’t simply drowning his sorrows in rum. He’s drinking to pass the time – as he has done for 300 years. 300 years of mourning for Milah, 300 years of waiting for his chance for revenge. 300 years of waiting in a land where time doesn’t exist. 300 years is a long time but Killian Jones is a patient man. And now he’s waiting again. For Emma.
Charming asked “Prince Charles” if his princess shared his devotion “And she for you I take it?” and Hook responded “I don’t know”. In that moment he was admitting that Emma may not now and might not ever return his love. But as Hook told Neal, he’s in it for the long haul. He’s not going to give up on her – not ever; he’ll be there for her even if it means a lifetime of unrequited love.
So when Hook told Charming that he’d “go to the end of the world…or time” for his princess, it was of course a bit of an inside joke – because he had already traveled past the end of this world (and others) for her and now he’s traveled through time for her. It’s one of the most romantic lines he’s ever spoken with regards to his love for Emma, but the true weight of the statement is in the secondary meaning – because what he’s really saying is that he would follow her…forever. He would wait until the end of time if that’s how long it took to earn her love.
And that’s what Emma needed most in life and in love. She needed someone who would never give up. She needed a lover who was determined yet patient when it came to winning her heart – someone who would stay by her side – for 300 years or until the end of time – with the faith that eventually she would be ready to open her heart to love.
She needed a friend and he has been that and more for her. She needed a “partner who knows what he’s doing”. And Killian Jones most certainly knows how to dance with Emma Swan – he knows when to lead and when to follow.
He’s followed her through realms and followed her through time. He’s risked his life for her. He’s given up his home. He’s given all he has to give. So when Emma joins him outside Granny’s diner, clearly seeking him out but also clearly unpracticed with letting someone inside the walls of her heart, he knows she needs help to let him in – he knows it’s his turn to lead. But he has nothing left to offer her – nothing to offer but the simple fact that he has nothing left to give.
And Emma chooses that moment to let him in. Not because he gave up his ship for her – but because in that moment he’d given her something she’d been waiting her whole life for but didn’t even know she wanted, and certainly didn’t think was possible for her – to be somebody’s everything. Her parents have a new child, her son has another mother, but Killian Jones is all hers, hers and hers alone. And for a girl who felt so unwanted and so unloved for her whole life, it’s possible that the only way to mend a heart so broken was for her to find a person who could offer their WHOLE HEART to her and her alone.
Their journey back in time showed Emma that the love her parents have for one another is not just the stuff of legends – it’s real and it’s possible. Watching her parents fall in love with Killian by her side helped her to realize that she was already in the middle of her very own fairy tale romance.
Killian had been aware of that for quite a while- aware that they were already in a relationship. Probably everyone but Emma herself was aware of it. He just had to maintain the hope that someday she would stop running long enough to realize it. Their trip through time gave him that hope – by watching the Charmings fall in love he had proof that sometimes girls on the run do settle down if they find the right partner, and sometimes it just takes them a while to admit their feelings.
And now his wait is finally over. And so is hers.Having spent three years with a Brit gent, I smiled at “a bit stroppy”. Perfect. Loving the videos, as usual. I am not much for “married, baby-on-board graphics” but the “I love you more” made me smile bigtime and text my kids with the same message
Many thanks! Hehe, I had to smile that so many didnt know what “stroppy” was as well- It’s used commonly in NZ lol & yep it fits Neal’s behavior exactly.
I’m not much for the way out there AU stuff either, but thought it was very cute this time- daddy/daughter pirate captain talk, seems just very ‘once’ to me lol 😉
