on the one hand, I’m totally excited for Hookriel interaction. On the other hand, what is the POINT of this episode?????????
HOOK! That’s the point of this episode! There clearly hasn’t been enough HOOK so far this season!

The press release almost sounds like Hook is doing the exact same thing in both sides of the story, though I’m sure he’s not. Kind of sound like we’re on a little tangent from the main story. Not sure how I feel about that.

Hey, is anyone free to help me figure out a Meta? I just want to post it and be done with it (I’ve been sitting on it since January), but I can’t figure out how to either end my thoughts, or how to separate it into two pieces. Doesn’t help that a lot of it is moot after 3B started airing, but whatever! Anyway, if there’s anyone free to bounce ideas off of, I’d really appreciate the help!

Random musing about Emma’s choice from here on about whether to keep Henry in SB and have him remember, or take him back to NYC, blissfully unaware… Like I said in a previous post, she may be thinking that having him remember Neal would be too painful for him, so part of her wants to protect him from that… The new thought I had was that if she takes him back to NYC, she can take him to Neal’s apartment, where all his stuff is. They could look through it, Emma could tell him about the dream catcher, which could lead to her telling him happy stories of their time together. She could use NYC and Neal’s things there to help Henry build up an idea of who his dad was and have him feel close to him, without him having to suffer the pain of remembering and losing him. If I wrote fanfic, I would write that thing.
I kinda love that idea. And I think I would like for Emma to go back to NYC at least once. They up and left their lives there (is she paying rent on that apartment????). And if they go to Neal’s and look around, then that’s even better.
Aaaaaactually, the fic I’m currently writing hits that idea, at least slightly. Will let you know when it’s done (hoping to work on it today).

But Emma resents being the Savior, because she said the price of her magic is not getting to have a day off. Emma’s idea of a happy life is a normal one like the one she had. It was the kind of life Neal wanted too. Hook just doesn’t get it.
THIS. This is why I just can’t see Hook and Emma together in the long run. Nothing about Emma’s character thus far has shown that she actually *likes* adventure, it just keeps finding her whether she wants it or not. Unless something changes in Hook’s character, I don’t see him being a family man who would be content to settle down and never have another adventure for the rest of his life (if Emma can help it). Even if they were to get together, those are the kinds of things that tear couples apart. Neal and Emma were always on the same page about what happiness and a HEA was to them. While Hook has never expressly stated what his idea HEA is, everything about his demeanor thus far makes it seem like his life path is on a completely different trajectory to Emma’s, even though he keeps trying to convince her otherwise. I don’t know. I could just be reading that wrong.

I’m pretty much a textbook definition of Pisces. My friend who’s into astrology and did my birth chart was laughing as she was calculating it all and said she’d never known anyone to be SUCH a Pisces. I pride myself on it, but also regularly drive myself insane.
I’m pretty agnostic about a lot of things in life, especially astrology, but I can’t help but see a lot of the Virgo personality traits in myself. I need a friend like that! I’m always entertained when people try to define me and whether I agree or disagree with them. If I manage to make it to the chat and see you there, we should compare notes!

Interesting theories everyone but I refuse to get my hopes up about anything with this show.
And I COMPLETELY understand that sentiment. My problem is I’m a pathological daydreamer (it’s a Pisces thing, I can’t help it) and the more my mind wanders on this topic, the more opportunity I see for them to be able to bring him back, and the more opportunities I see, the more I just wanna declare SHENANIGANS on the whole hot mess.
I’m with @heatherc1275. I look at everything and want to find the logic in all this mess (which is why nothing about Quiet Minds works for me). I think that’s my Virgo tendencies coming out in full force (it also explains why the stupid piece of fanfiction I’ve been writing is taking forever, because I keep agonizing over the details. Damn you pointless astrology!). …. I mostly just wanted to reply because I find it entertaining that our astrology signs shape the way we approach the show, and our enjoyment of it. ^_^

As I wrote in a different thread, I’m not so sure about how I feel about history being reversed. Would Neal even exist in such an alternate universe? Again, I’m not so sure. If the writers do go down this road, then I think Baelfire would exist, but not Neal, his created persona. The question then, for me, would be if Baelfire remained a kid in Neverland. Maybe Dylan Schmid would join the cast then or at least be a recurring guest star. Maybe “Neal” would exist as Baelfire still, but separately in A Land Without Magic, except he wouldn’ve have ever met Emma and Henry wouldn’t exist. That would be so sad. I’m not so sure how I’d feel about such a turn of events. As much as I enjoyed the character of Neal, that would feel quite contrived to me.
Are there any recent pictures of Dylan? Something makes me think that he’s growing up way too fast to convincingly portray a 14-ish year old anymore, and you’re not supposed to age in Neverland, right? I still think Neal had it right in Manhattan that going back in time, becoming younger again and loosing all your memories isn’t right. Who we are is a combination of the experiences we have had and the things we have learned from them. By taking that away we stop being ourselves, and while I originally fell in love with Neal because in his past he was Bae, I came to love his character so much more for who Neal himself was, for the things he had done and the life he had lived.
I don’t want to see him rebooted, to become someone else, to stop being the Neal I came to love. But this is OUAT, so Neal’s death is probably the end of the character as we know it. Any other iteration will be different, and I don’t know how I would feel about it. Neal’s face with a different personality? Neal’s personality on a different face? I just don’t know.
The way all of this went down still feels like they were in a rush to get MRJ off the show. He wanted out and this was the easiest place to shoehorn that in, even if it was done horribly. If they really do turn back time it will just feel like a total sham to not have either Bae or Neal back, and it will confirm it in my mind that there was more to this than just “bold story telling”.

Why am I now picturing that scene? Also, why does it involve a one-man-band?
Musical episode!
This is one of those moments where I wish I could draw. This would make a really stupid comic strip. Why do I only get good ideas that I can’t use!

I think Zelena has to time travel at some point if her second chance is Regina never being born. I mean what does she do—interrupt wedding night between Cora and Henry Sr?
