S is for the Sword fight between Emma and Hook. At least they'll have a good story to tell their grandkids.

Apparently The Words music video was partially filmed at Zelena's house! http://pirateswaan.tumblr.com/post/107337886074/youseetherealme-gaspsssss-this-is-the I do wonder if that was intentional on Christina's part, or if they just needed a rural farm house to rent, and the location scout/whoever picked it by chance. Either way, "soon" better be sooner than later, cause I'm getting sick of waiting!

D is for the "Devilishly handsome" face that showed up for the first time.

Y is for Young Henry. He was super adorable then.

I thought of that, but I believe the saying exists today due to Jesus' experience with the cross. Others were not well known enough to be remembered. I'm not gonna argue it. Reasons could be made for the saying in the EF, but it's just a thing that bugs me everytime I hear Hook say it.

I guess I just have a hard time with the idea of magic and real-world religion coexisting. Although it could explain some of the stories from the bible, like people who are 300 years old, or water being turned into wine... magic! :P

Hook's line to Emma when she's complaining about wearing the corset bothers me. "You're discomfort is a cross I'm willing to bear." I know it's a common saying, but unless Jesus was known in the EF, I can't see Hook picking up that saying in the real world. It also bothers me that even after the first curse was listed, the fairies are still nuns. Did all those years when they were going through the motions of being Christian make them believers? Not that I expect them to address religion at all. Magic seems to be this shows supreme god.

They submitted it to: SXSW, Dublin, Berlin, Nashville, Los Angeles and Portland film fests. I think most of those are actually in February/March, some a few months later, so hopefully we won't have to wait too long, assuming it gets purchased.

I was curious as to what was happening with The Dust Storm movie, and apparently they had a screening in Boston a few weeks ago. Colin wasn't there. One of the producers said on twitter "we submitted it to a bunch festivals and as soon as it get bought it will be on screens nationwide:) fingers crossed!!" http://instagram.com/p/wshuTnPs2W/ Seeing as it's an indie, I think if they would build a website, post some clips, promote it a bit, and then harness the power of Colin's fans, they might do a better job at getting it released.

Q is for more Quiet moments with the characters. Yes, I want to see them watching Netflix or talking about mundane things! Jinx! R is for Ruby! I want her bck!

F is for Friendships - more of them! Snow and Ruby, Emma and Ruby, Belle and Hook, Hook and Charming, Hook and Will, Charming and Will...

I flailed a little when I saw that latest photo. Christina is my fangirl hero.

U is for the Unbuttoned shirts that Hook wore. Oh, how I miss them.

O is for Offhanded and sometimes Offensive remarks from Hook and Rumple, which make me laugh.

K is for Killian's Kisses.

Z is for Zelena's cursed lips curse, which was a wasted opportunity and resulted in a schmoopy Hook. Next topic: Things you like about the show!

Ugh those two. *shakes fists* Both the tidbits about the voicemail and Hook getting revenge on Rumple piss me off. I swear the writers are just so clueless and have no idea what the majority of viewers want to see. The only way I'll be happy about Hook getting revenge is if it's by Hook befriending Belle. That might be some nice revenge, if Rumple strolls back into town and sees those two being all chummy. And if Hook does go all revenge-y, I just hope Emma is by his side and he doesn't keep any secrets from her.

I'm moving this over from the Relationships thread... I've been listening to Christina Perri lately, and holy wow, I think her song Arms is even more of a Captain Swan song than The Words is. This is a pretty good fan-made music video featuring the song. Of course I always have some different scenes in mind to go with the lyrics, but the maker did a pretty good job, especially with the "change my mind and turn around" part.

That quote still infuriates me to no end. You can't have drama without building up the characters first, because know one is going to give a crap about the characters otherwise, so the drama will be meaningless. And I think character build-up is best done in quieter moments.

New article - Colin O'Donoghue still hasn't shot with Dalmatians in Season 4 http://www.zap2it.com/blogs/once_upon_a_time_colin_odonoghue_interview_hook_dalmatians_season_4-2014-12 Finally! I was just complaining in the Hook thread about his lack of connections with other people in town. I'm guessing Belle is one of the people he starts to connect with. Wasn't this the article that was promising to say which Queen of Darkness Hook had a backstory with? They don't mention that at all, just that Colin hasn't really had a chance to film with any of them yet.

I don't remember that. Regina gave Ariel legs in exchange for turning Snow into a mermaid.

I think the reason Hook didn't have a more hurtful secret is because before that, he made no bones about who he hurt or what he did. It was all out in the open and he didn't try to hide the fact that he had done some horrible things. So it was sort of by default that Hook's secret was what it was. Although I do agree that it was an interesting secret for a villain to tell!

Maybe Colin is just excited about having a Ghost Buster on the show? I do hope he's involved in this storyline though, cause if not, what a waste. Maybe Ursula was jealous or tries to steal the voice of the young girl who sings? I don't know why, but I'm having a hard time picturing Ursula as the girl. Unless it's her before her fall from grace. All the villains seem to have to have a tragic back story of something that happened to them when they younger to make them go bad. I just hope the egg spoiler doesn't have to do with the reproductive, human kind.

Filming is over for the video. Now comes the waiting. I heard The Words on the radio last night, for the first time I think. It brought a smile to my face. If it's already getting radio play, they'll probably want to get the video out pretty quickly. ‏@christinaperri oh, @colinodonoghue1 #dreamsdocometrue https://twitter.com/christinaperri/status/545851064113565696/photo/1 @christinaperri now, with the happiest heart ive ever had, it's time to rest. #byeeeee @colinodonoghue1 Big thanks to @christinaperri for singing to me for two days! Had a blast! #thewordsmusicvideo

I'm not questioning why I still watch. It's because of Captain Swan. That's it for me at this point. If Colin were to leave the show, I probably would stop watching. I've watched the show since the beginning, so it certainly wasn't always that way for me. Every time I get excited about a new plot or a new character being introduced, I'm almost always disappointed. I wish the writers could figure out ways for the characters to interact and have meaningful conversations without being under constant threat.
