Please post!! I'm very interested. My understanding is that it's not the dagger targeting Regina but this cloud of untethered Dark One energy that's "sucking up all her hope and light" (to paraphrase what one of the set stalkers overheard). Emma has the dagger when she & Hook run up, apparently from Gold's shop. Emma says something about them having to do what the Apprentice said, that the energy has to be tied to a person. I can't imagine that it would stop with Regina if it's hungry for hope and light -- it wouldn't get enough from her to count as an appetizer.

I honestly don't know how anybody famous is active on or puts up with Twitter. I think Colin has the right idea about it -- he mostly uses it to tweet/retweet official show promotion or things he supports, with very occasional banter with official actors/writers.

My only hope is that Regina is just the first one that the Dark One energy targets and it's clear it would've then gone after everyone else.

It's possible she's filming them this week but they won't air her segments until later. That's happened before. Though you'd think they'd want to air her interview BEFORE the finale.

JMo tweeted that she will be on GMA and Kelly & Michael this week. I hope Kelly asks her again when the heck Hook & Emma are gonna get busy.

Yeah, I can't see them spoiling it like that, either, which is why I figure it's part of the AU. My theory is that there's all the AU stuff, Emma & Regina wake up in the street after it's all been fixed, there's a day of calm (hence the different clothes), then the dagger stuff. Then a gathering at Granny's to "mourn" Emma, then perhaps a final scene showing Emma wherever/whatever she is.

Seems like reaching to me. It's a pretty standard type of outfit for this sort of setting.

Switching A&E for Shonda would be out of the frying pan, into the fire! ABC needs new drama blood, stat. I should look over their pilot list again to see if they have anything that looks promising -- though it's always a crapshoot what hits. They're leading the sweeps in demos, though.

I figured it would. Link?

Spoilers from one of the people who was around watching finale filming. Confirms very little CS. 13+ characters??? Jesus wept! It's going to be like 4x11 in the rushed department. I'm quite certain the CS emotional revelation and "payoff" will be every bit as rushed and underwhelming as the "payoff" to the Hook's heart arc. Much more important to see the Author in his TV gig. Whatever kind-of-but-not-really TLK happens, it'll probably be Rumbelle, so he can be saved after he's freed from the dark curse and his crimes excused. Because it's such a romantic and healthy relationship.

All we know is that Robert finished filming a couple days before everyone else, though a couple of set regulars said he will be back in S5. They could be lying or misinformed. Or it's possible he could back only for flashbacks or as some weird spectral Obi-Wan DarkOneobi to counsel new Dark One Emma.

I thought they meant two separate deaths -- one permanent, one temporary -- but the way it was worded, I could see it being either way.

We know there's a temporary death, and since it's Rumple's AU, he'd want Killian either dead or suffering. Plus Adam trolled in one interview about Hook, "if he survives…."

Emma is unconscious in one pic. Also, the detail on her glove is both a swan and a hook.

Maybe this one will be 27 seconds!

That sounds like all of 4B! Why all the promo pics of the Author? Does anybody REALLY care about him in his ABC office?

I have to think back to that BTS special where Adam says, "And Hook dies in Act One." I think that wasn't actually a joke, it was them plotting out Ep 2 of the finale. So he'll be "dead" for most of the second ep until they get back to SB.

They are in the throes of ecstasy. They think Emma is dressed as Charming to Regina's Bandit Snow. I can't disagree, and I think it's 100% purposeful to bait them. Although Rumple's outfit is MORE Charming.

I think they just threw all the photos under the first ep. I always figured the dagger stuff was near the end of the second ep.

I just noticed Will is Robin's best man. Way to screw over Little John!

I bet Hook is very quickly dead in the AU. Probably the flash of him in the promo was 3/4th of his screentime, going by the rest of 4B. I think there must be several AUs going on, like the Author/somebody is rewriting things in the middle, or Henry showing up changes things.

The Author is talking to Dark Snowing in the BTS. Henry is showing the book to Bandit Regina -- you can see part of her fuzzy neckpiece on the right side.

I didn't even notice that. That's just dumbass.

Photos from the finale. Loads of Emma & Regina in the EF. Another Emma outfit. Nothing of Hook in the EF. >:-p Wedding is Zelena & Robin. Whoops, in one of them, they have Sean ID'd as Josh.

I wondered about that myself.
