RulerofallIsurvey October 13, 2017 Share October 13, 2017 I wonder if the show will do something about Murderella by midseason if (when) she really tanks? I'm sure they weren't expecting the 'Murderella' moniker for one. Could they really do anything with the way they've already set her and Henry up to be 'True Love'? I guess it could turn out like Neal and Emma if the audience doesn't cotton to their 'epic' romance being shoved down its throat. 12 minutes ago, Kktjones said: And count me among those that doesn't care about the CS baby given that we will never get to see it and it will play no role in the show ongoing. I'll actually be happy if it's a pregnancy announcement by Emma, since we already know we'll never see the character again anyway. The only thing about it that makes me me sad is that I'll never get to see Hook be a father. :( But that's what fanfic and my imagination are for, I guess. Considering they're a lot better than what A&E would come up with! 4 Link to comment
cappoe October 13, 2017 Share October 13, 2017 7 hours ago, Rumsy4 said: I like the theory that the message Henry sent went to another version of Hook. Maybe Henry sent messages to both Emma and Hook, and the one to Hook went astray. As for Hook, if he's from the future, he ought to know Emma's condition at this time. So, why is he looking like a deer caught in the headlights? If he's from an alternate realm, what's his agenda? Many were speculating that Emma might be killed off. Compared to that, this seems like Christmas. To me, it's okay if we never find out anything more about Emma's pregnancy, as long as the CS happy ending is preserved. Which I'm finally starting to have some hope for. We'll know soon enough if that was a false hope. Abc/A&E literally gave away the whole plot in the promos and sneak peeks hoping to induce CS fans to watch, seems like. I feel like they have to give us a baby reveal at the end of the episode. Cause audience will want to know did they have a boy or girl or something. 14 minutes ago, RulerofallIsurvey said: I wonder if the show will do something about Murderella by midseason if (when) she really tanks?

I don't think it matters what they do, this season is going to tank and will be cancelled and then this will go on the shelf of TV seasons that never happened.

CCTC October 13, 2017 Share October 13, 2017 1 hour ago, scenicbyway said: just see her acting (maybe its the hair but her facial expressions seem off too) Emma used to always have a flicker of hope or determination. There's just a sense of resignation that I see. Did they think we would not recognize Emma with shorter hair? Time has passed since S6 finale - they did not need the hair for continuity like they did for Dallas when he had the hair piece at the season 4 premiere. The hair extensions are so fake they have potential to distract from the scene. It is almost like they wanted her to look disheveled and ineffective. Link to comment
KingOfHearts October 13, 2017 Share October 13, 2017 Quote I think the only reason for the baby is to give a reason why Emma doesn't join the others in coming to help Henry and therefore doesn't get caught up in the curse. It's hard to imagine any other circumstance that would explain Emma not rushing to her son's aid along with her husband. That already makes her a better parent than Snow or Charming. 1 Link to comment
PixiePaws1 October 13, 2017 Share October 13, 2017 (edited) For a short moment I also wondered if the Hook in sneak peek 2 was a glamoured someone else and then whomever it is got swept up in the curse stuck looking like Hook. That would have been the perfect way to keep Colin on the show and preserve the CS happy ending. I had hoped the last filming Jen did in the studio was maybe the birth scene to give the happy, opposing bookend to Henry's birth...you know..the one where she was cuffed to the bed in prison (thanks ArseWipeFire!!). I am so confused about Emma's presence in sneak peek 2. I thought she was answering Whine-ry's call for help but with the dialog and setting it is like she came looking for him and he wasn't expecting her. Plus they look like they're in the EF ... how did they get from SB to the EF?? Edited October 13, 2017 by PixiePaws1 Link to comment

maryle October 13, 2017 Share October 13, 2017 Well, I am totally on board with anything that preserve cs happy ending and we know from colin and A and E it will be so whaterver happen will be fine for me. We also know rumbelle happy ending should too be preserve by the same logic "all the happy ending are preserve" Now for me I do believe the only explination is some king of alt hook dont care wich it is. I understand that for some that still invest in rodgers it could be problematic. Anyway will know soon enough. Do not find anything wrong with jen acting and I think the fact emma being sidelined adding to her dream, lonelyness and problem in the negociation explique very well the climat in her exit 1 Link to comment

Camera One October 15, 2017 Share October 15, 2017 Quote As O’Donoghue reveals, Wish Realm Hook and Hook-Prime both have similar backgrounds, but where their experiences differ is that the Evil Queen never cast her curse in the Wish Realm. “They had the same journey up until that point, so they are similar,” O’Donoghue says. “Wish Hook has a whole different set of rules and agendas that the original Hook didn’t have. Whereas his main thing was to get revenge on Rumplestiltskin, Wish Hook has a separate thing.” I am so glad Wish Hook isn't going to retread the whole Rumple thing, but I don't get it. Why wouldn't he still be hung up on revenge? What does that have to do with Regina's Curse not cast? Quote "That’s been a big thing for me for the season is trying to figure out how do I keep this character similar enough for him to be the same character on the show, but different enough for him to be interesting and kind of new?” I'm glad he is finding this enjoyable to play. Quote TVLINE | Does this Rogers/Wish Hook twist mean that Weaver and Roni aren’t actually new personas for Rumple and Regina? HOROWITZ | No, Rogers is the only one we’ve done with this. By Episode 4, Weaver being Rumple and all that becomes clear — Regina/Roni and Weaver/Rumple are who they are — and you’re going to find out the whole Belle and Rumple story, as well.

I think it might also be more satisfying to have Rumple searching for Belle than sitting in a HEA in Storybrooke with her. At least if Belle is his motivation, he's proving something about their relationship. Rumple has a lot to make up to Belle, mostly in proving that he actually cares about her in some way. That does more for Rumbelle than sitting HEA even if they never reunite. That wasn't a dynamic that existed with Captain Swan. It felt like they had already earned their HEA. 1 Link to comment

On the other hand, something in the history had to have changed for Neal/Bae (did they specify what name he was known as in the Wishverse?) to have been Henry's father in spite of Emma staying in the Enchanted Forest and growing up as a princess, and since he was with Hook for a long time, that could mean Hook's history changed in some ways. Did Bae come back to their world from Neverland with Hook instead of staying and then going to our world? If the difference was that Regina was held captive instead of being let go, then she wouldn't have been holding Belle prisoner, and then Hook wouldn't have met Regina and been assigned to kill Cora, and possibly Hook might have gone back to Neverland for a while, returning later with Bae. Whook hanging around to help Henry does explain that spoiler photo of him in pirate gear. I guess he and Regina would have to change into more suitable clothes to blend in. I'm sure there's some explanation for him being dressed exactly the same as in his pirate days, like him having kept his pirate gear in his trunk and now that he has his slim young body back, he can fit into it again, but I'm amusing myself by imagining him going to Pirate Gap and being able to buy the exact same outfit.

I'm not sure I'd be entirely opposed because I like the character of Tiana from the movie and like what I've seen of her so far here. But I also love Naveen and his relationship with Tiana and the fact that he's one of the few Disney princes with a real character growth arc, and I'd hate to have him erased. I don't think you could sub WHook for Naveen because their arcs are very different. Hook's never been a lazy playboy who needed to be taught the value of hard work.
