Souris

Damn y'all and your speculation that is far more interesting than anything this show will ever do! :)

Oh, hey, what a shock, I totally recognized the screen names of the first two users who liked that douchnozzle's latter post. Those two seem to have no other purpose in life but to surf around Twitter, Tumblr and articles about Once to make nasty, insulting comments about Hook. They are OBSESSED. It's to some creepy, hate-stalker level. If there's an article that mentions Hook, one or both of them has left a vile comment about him. If it's a Once article that doesn't mention Hook, they still may have left a comment ragging on Hook.

Wait, so AUGUST gets a place but EMMA doesn't?

If anybody becomes the new Dark One, I don't think it will be resolved in the finale with a TLK. Probably the person turning all sparkly imp would be the cliffhanger.

These two idiots are the ONLY reason I'm still watching this stupid show!

On the bright side, if Regina gets her happy ending, maybe she'll finally shut the hell up and next season she'll be more tolerable. Ha, ha, I amuse myself sometimes.

We got to talking about Jane Espenson in the spoilers thread. I do remember Jane said that Bleeding Through was her most difficult ep to write because they changed the story partway through while she was writing. She didn't give any more details. So that is likely part of why that ep was so bad.

Taking reply to Writers thread.

That's not a stat I've ever thought about or seen. Interesting. Something to keep an eye on from here on out, I guess.

IF IF IF the season ends with Hook in another realm, it would be a great thing if Emma and Snowing went after him. They could repair their relationship by working to save Hook. They can leave Woegina behind in Storybrooke to look after Henry. (And Neal, since she's sooooo good with kids. Blech.) That would be ideal. I doubt it will happen, because TS, TW, but that's what I'd want.

It's total retcon, just to besmirch Snowing to make Regina look better. No doubt. I don't think they'll do a baby swap, thankfully, since Emma is presenting Lily to Mal when they return to Storybrooke.

From Marc Berman: 8:00 p.m. ABC – Once Upon a Time Viewers: 5.66 million (#2), A18-49: 1.9/ 6 (#1) ———- 8:30 p.m. ABC – Once Upon a Time Viewers: 5.71 million (#2), A18-49: 1.8/ 5 (#1) --- Slight drop in total viewers, slight uptick in 18-49.

I don't think she'll move in with Hook on the Jolly. He'll probably move onto the Jolly and she'll take his room at Granny's. Or move in with Regina -- that's still out there IMO. Or, more likely, we'll have no idea where she's staying because the show won't address it.

I saw an interesting theory in my post-ep Internet surfing: That Hook will sacrifice himself to save Emma and her heart from going dark by blocking/absorbing the darkness that Rumple intends to fill Emma's heart with. You know, by jumping in front of her or whatever. That would, of course, require it to be more of a curse/spell than a luring her to the dark side. I could totally see that happening, because of the multiple spoilery quotes about Hook risking everything to protect Emma's heart, protecting Emma's heart is his main goal, etc. (Putting this here instead of Nonspoilery Spec because of those quotes.) On the one hand, if that makes him go dark again, it'll be annoying and repetitive as hell to sit through his entire arc AGAIN. True, Emma would be fighting for him this time in earnest (I would hope), but I really don't want to do it all over again. But knowing these writers and their huge repetitive streak, I expect it. There would be parallels there with Charming stepping in front of Snow's arrow meant for Regina in order to keep her from committing murder and going dark. And it would also kind of tie back to the "love is a weapon" line they've used twice so far. He could take the Jolly Roger and sail through a portal to another realm, since portals seem to be a dime a dozen these days. Then Emma and whoever could go after him. Perhaps he could end up getting his memories back with a TLK at some point next season. I mean, you know there's going to be some kind of big obstacle for Captain Swan at the end of the season, because they've been too together and happy together so far this season. Can't have that for too long!

Colin is currently live-tweeting the West Coast airing.

Well, after Hook took her voice, she turned herself into a sea witch and told her father he should fear her because the ocean would bow to her whims. So it looked like she was about to make a hell of a lot of bad choices. Which probably got her banished to this world to stop her.

Shatner made some very rude comments about Robin Hood, and that set some fans off. It escalated from there to include some CS fans, which was disappointing. I don't like Once fans going after celebs over their opinions about the show. SQ fans did that to Yvette Nicole Brown when she said something nice about CS, so she stopped commenting about Once at all. I think Shatner is kind of a perv and don't agree with a lot of his Once opinions, but he's entitled to them.

If they make Emma not Snow and David's child, that would be beyond insulting and table-flippy.

He wasn't worried about a married Constance's reputation when he slept with her, so that was a bit hypocritical there, D'Artagnan.

He is an idiot. Historically, Anne had another son. So if they introduce him, we'll see who the daddy is. Aramis again? Actually the king? Or will they introduce Mazarin, who some historians claim may have been the father to one or both sons?

I think it's CREEPY! I've seen a lot of "DADDY!!" sent to Colin, as well as the ILYs and MARRY MEs. It creeps me out.

Oh, man, that might have been my favorite part of the much-deserved Rochefort death scene. Actually, no "might," it was. I was hoping that somehow Anne would get to be the one to stick the dagger into his heart, or even Constance on Lemay's behalf, but that was a great way for Anne to get in a last dig. No sign of the cross death blessing for that asshat! Speaking of Anne's digs: "I never thought of you once." Oh, burn! I knew Aramis became a monk in the book, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon in the series! He'd better be back next season. It does seem to be the case since the boys were on their way to get him at the end. I don't particularly ship or not ship Athos and Milady, but I think her character adds spice and hope she shows back up. Great ep. The last two eps of the season were smashing.

We know they're back to hugging the next ep, so if Emma gets mad, it won't be for long.

No doubt. And I've seen those brands in a few specialty stores in N.C. Plus I'm certain their families could send them loads of boxes if they really wanted it. But sometimes you just really want to bemoan, just because. ;)

I love the image of all the Irish actors sitting around bemoaning North America's lack of certain brands of tea.
