    Again though, I like the idea that they are slowing down and trying to show what daily life is like for these characters after all that has happened.  And these two especially need it.  We get on the writers for pushing these characters into non stop plot driven situations and dialogue, so let’s praise them for slowing it down and showing us what it means to be these two, trying to live as normal of a life as possible.  It can only help these two characters take steps back toward their old selves.

    They are trying to make Hook better guys.  They are taking the most naive person on the planet and having her trust a pirate to prove that Hook can be trusted now as a person and a friend.  And she has gone to Hook before in the past, so it makes sense, despite Hook pulling one over her eyes.  But also, if she’s super angry about Rumple and legit afraid of him, it doesn’t surprise me that she would go to the only other person in the town that hates him as much as she does right now, Hook.  I think this makes perfect sense honestly.

    Like, I would have liked to have seen Snow and Charming actually going to Jiminiy and explaining why they think it’s a good idea that the Cricket go talk to Emma–their fears as parents, their guilt over the fact that they never asked for his help before, wondering if the entire town doesn’t need some therapy, their fears over if Baby Snowflake will have the same problems, ect ect.

    I think that is the one scene I would have liked to see.  Definitely agree there.  The thought was nice, and we can imagine them going to Archie and asking him to go to Emma, but seeing that scene would have made for an emotional punch and given more depth to the two flattest characters on the show.

    They this was definitely their son.  As to why he already has some hatred towards Rumple, I’d say it’s because of what Belle was projecting in her dream.  She was making Rumple look like a true beast and she was horrified and scared to be in that castle.  So as a result, Morfetus has only really seen Rumple be this intimidating creature whom Belle feared. Then all of a sudden, the real Rumple shows up in the dream….based on what he’d seen from Belle’s dream world, don’t you think its reasonable to be spiteful toward Rumple.  It’s all bc in Belle’s dream, she casts Rumple in a dark light.  Or at least that’s what I’m going with.  And the age thing….I’ll say the baby is incredibly magical bc it’s Rumple’s kid and once the sand sprinkled on the baby, it allowed him to “exit” her womb and walk around in her dream just like Rumple.

    Or ya know, it’s Jafar posing as their son….

    Here is the problem with that, how did she get TLK then?  If this is all Belle’s dream and the son is a manifestation of that dream he should not been able to wake her up because he is not real.  The  whole scene is very problematic and full of holes.

    Yup exactly.  It works until he kisses her to wake her up.  So since that happens, he must be her ACTUAL SON.  But then, why is he older.  I get why he’s in her dream….bc he’s a part of her so ok, fine.  But why is he older?

    Well I don’t think that’s very fair.  You could say that about any character dying on this show now then.  But they have proven that dead can in fact be dead when they want it to be.  Example, Robin Hood.  They obliterated him.  With Emma, they could make something up like Saviors can’t be brought back once they have served their purpose or something.  If you are at the point of thinking that if Emma died, then so what…well I’m not sure why you still enjoy watching the show.  That would certainly ruin it for me.

    If he has Belle’s memories he should have the good stuff too, which I find problematic. Rumple has done a lot of bad in recent seasons, no doubt. But belle has also witnessed his heroism, his sacrifices, his grief after losing Bae and the lengths he went to find Bae again. There are nuances in Rumple that young fetus is neglecting.

    Oh abolsutely he is.  He clearly has an opinion on this.  Again, he’s supposed to be a child and this is Belle’s dream so isn’t she the one thinking about him and that’s what he looks like in HER mind?  So is that also what she would think her son’s opinion would be about Rumple?  Basically is this all just in Belle’s mind or was that ACTUALLY their son with actual opinions and motives?  If that is actually their son, like in body and soul and not just her interpretation via her dream world, then the child must have some Seer capabilities.

    Never said Hook was solely to blame. I’m beyond fed up with Emma but the question was posed about what it says about the CS relationship and if this was the first time we’ve seen Emma shut down or see Hook go drink when there’s a problem, I’d actually be a lot more forgiving because that’s a natural human response. But these two keep resorting to the same tactics and it’s old. I actually think Hook was being pretty reasonable and Emma’s being an annoying shrew but what these actions (and how they cope) say about their pairing is up for debate.

    Well yes of course.  There is still no honesty with them.  But there is nothing wrong with Hook grabbing a drink.  And it’s not like he was drunk.  He could grab a drink regardless of the situation and it would be fine.  He’s just grabbing a drink, sheesh.  But yes this was all about Emma here.  She’s the one being dishonest, not Hook.  And yes, that says something about the CS relationship, but mainly it says how Emma feels about the relationship, noyt Hook.  Hook looked like genuinely cared in this episode and I felt bad for him.  Emma is the one that clearly has a problem with this relationship, and Emma’s actions were the telling ones.  Hook getting a drink was the most realistic thing the show could have done.

    Said the same thing in another thread. You’re right; there are no real stakes here.

    See I disagree.  I could see them killing the Savior if she does so to protect everyone she loves and goes out in true Savior form.  And the suspense part of it is who exactly is under the cloak.  And I love the idea that every Savior has a villain that is sort of their crutch.  Again my bet, is that it’s Rumple.

    For me it made sense but thinking about some of the fine details, it does get a little messy.  Let me start by saying I did not want Rumple to break the curse on Belle with his own TLK.  They acknowledged already that it didn’t work when she first put herself to sleep last season so it cannot work now.  And using her child as the one who wakes her was a surprise and I liked it.

    Now, as I understood it, their son was impersonating Morpheus.  He’s impersonating Morpheus bc why not….Idk.  Now as far as why he’s older and how he knows so much about Rumple being a bad person…it’s hazy here, but remember, this is Belle’s dream.  It’s her thoughts.  She’s dreaming of her son…otherwise he wouldn’t be there right?  Or is he just there bc since he’s inside her belly, he’s in her dreams.  Either way, it doesn’t answer the question as to why he’s older.  I would say he knows about Rumple bc Belle knows about Rumple, and he’s in her dream and in her belly as part of her, so I can let that pass.  I don’t think it has anything to do with Seer capabilities.  This is all Belle’s doing.  Rumple is there bc of magic sand but their son is not.  He’s there bc he’s basically asleep with Belle bc he’s a part of her.  I wonder if all pregnant women who get put under the sleeping curse have their child in their dreams as a young adult….Now he recognizes Rumple bc he’s been with her in her dreams for awhile now and has seen her interact with Rumple.  So when he saw real Rumple “show up” in the dream, he quickly decided to disguise who he is, try and test his father.  All that makes sense.  It’s just how he became older.  I get he has Belle’s memories and isn’t fond of Rumple.  That I can see.  But as to why he’s older, I don’t understand.
