sharky December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 I actually am really excited to see what the writers do if they bring Milah back. Closure for Hook, yelling for Gold, some nice time with Henry's grandmother since his other one is evil. Plus, if they keep bringing all these people back, it's only a matter of time before they bring Liam back, right? Because I am so here for that. :) 4 Link to comment
Watt December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 I'm a terrible person but I think Milah ought to give some closure to Rumple as well. I get what Rumple did sucks, but Milah left him and their son. She kind of sucks too. I know Hook loved her and that's all good and whatever, but Rumple loved her too. God I can't believe I'm standing up for Rumple. Link to comment

She already apologized for that, admitting she was wrong, regretted it, and that she was being a coward. And then Rumple killed her. There is NO scenario I want to see between them now that is anything BUT her chewing him out. 8 Link to comment
RadioGirl27 December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 Milah and Cora being back for the same episode has me wondering if this isn't a Rumple centric. With both Cora and Milah back, the episode is going to be Rumple centric, not Hook centric (even if maybe there is a scene with Hook and Milah). 2 Link to comment
Mathius December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 This is all assuming, of course, that Milah is in the Underworld and not just in a flashback again. Link to comment

Rumsy4 December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 (edited) I would like to see Hook apologize to Milah for disrespecting her memory as Dark Hook. She's probably not going to be happy he spent 200 years trying to avange her death either. I do think this episode with Cora and Milah will be more Rumple-centric. I think JE used to be the one to write Rumple-episodes before she moved to helm OUATiW. Edited December 1, 2015 by Rumsy4 1 Link to comment
Hookian December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 We've already seen the show highlight what Milah did to Hook and what Emma did to Hook in terms of his character. What each of them made his character do and which relationship is by far healthier and true. I would love Milah and Emma to meet, that would be pretty comedic. I'm pretty sure he'll sacrifice himself for the greater good next week. He'll prevent the Dark from winning in the end (I'm guessing). So the only truly awful thing is the death of Merlin...which given all the info Merlin didn't act on that could have forestalled some of this, has to be at least partially on Merlin. Dude could see the freaking future and yet never did anything to change it (or even give anyone a heads up about the train barreling down the tracks! And why the heck was he brewing the darn Dark Curse potion I n the first place? ::headdesk::) I still think honestly that there's something we're missing with the death of Merlin. We could be heading into a "Snape kills Dumbledore" scenario which would justify Merlin's death as something he wanted himself to happen because it was the only way for this to be done. Him dying would be the start of the end of the darkness. Link to comment
Rumsy4 December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 Sadly I don't think Hook and Merlin were in cahoots. I also very much fear we won't find out why the genius had the Dark Curse ready to go. "Because plot" is the most we are going to get. Btw, did we know Hook and Emma filmed alone two times for the finale? Once when Emma is still the Dark One, and later in her red jacket. http://illneverstopfightingforus.tumblr.com/post/134300632813/remember-they-filmed-a-scene-with-colin-and I wonder if that initial scene is another antagonistic confrontation between them or a reconciliation scene.

shipperx December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 I definitely think Merlin had a plan. A dumb plan because it is basically an idiot plot (see: "The Idiot Plot, of course, is any plot that would be resolved in five minutes if everyone in the story were not an idiot. " — Roger Ebert ) but a plan which inexplicably hinged on sharing no useful information or making efforts to try a less fatal route to solution). I mean we know that the Dark Ones plans will be thwarted. It's Once. We know the ending. What's more Merlin was clairvoyant, so odds are he did too. So his total lack of trying to avert this cluster$&@ tends to favor it was an accepted sacrifice for said end game. Which is still an idiot plot. 2 Link to comment

Elliot Knight said that there's a connection coming with Hook and Merlin and he has definitely suggested he filmed for the finale. So we need that PR to find out if we'll see Merlin again. Well I knew because there were pics. Yes Killian and Emma filmed with him in regular clothes and her in Savior jacket, which means it's probably the magical ale coming back as I expected. I definitely think Merlin had a plan. A dumb plan because it is basically an idiot plot (see: "The Idiot Plot, of course, is any plot that would be resolved in five minutes if everyone in the story were not an idiot.

Since he pretty much had the same plan as Merlin. Sacrificed himself for the endgame that needed to be reached. They key to defeating the darkness is Nimue, she must die since she's the root of all of this. Edited December 1, 2015 by Hookian Link to comment

mjgchick December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 (edited) I had the same thought. I also thought he doesn't think much of himself. It is the same Hook who had no confidence in himself at all after all. After all of this he's going to be even more self loathing. I'm in the mind that Hook get's sucked into the Dark World. I just don't see how they could go get him if he chose to sacrifice himself for everyone. It's the exact same thing Neal did. Why bring Hook back and not Neal? It can't just be because Emma's in love with Hook. Edited December 1, 2015 by mjgchick Link to comment
daxx December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 That'd be seriously messed up. I had the same thought. I also thought he doesn't think much of himself. Hook hates himself more than anything except the darkness. His self loathing is palpable in Dark Hook. 5 Link to comment
Curio December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 Merlin has died without revealing what he needs or dropping anybody a clue. If his plan is that Hook (or somebody) must die to end the darkness, Merlin might as well have killed that person himself. He does't get to wash his hands of it. Well, there's still the very small and unlikely chance that Hook is actually in cahoots with Merlin and that Merlin spilled his entire plan with Hook before he died, because they're both desperate to rid the darkness once and for all. Merlin letting Hook kill him could have been his big martyr moment because he knew he screwed up when it came to Nimue and for being a super vague wizard. If that's the case, then there's probably some weird loophole where the darkness can only be destroyed in Storybrooke and all the Dark Ones have to be present in the flesh, and a Dark One has to stab another Dark One with Excalibur. Which could explain Emma's wardrobe change from the behind the scenes photos – she's about to stab Hook with Excalibur and she's still dressed as the Dark One, but once the sword goes into him and he's dying, she magically switches into her red jacket outfit and realizes she's no longer a Dark One.

mjgchick December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 I wonder if Emma keeps her light magic or not. So far it doesn't look like either Merlin or Rumple has any magic so Hook will likely not have any once he's not a Dark One but Emma was born with hers. Does she lose all magic or just the dark one?

She wasn't wearing her red-jacket when she became a Dark One, but A&E would ignore that. I have visions of Sneezy suddenly being out in the cold without his red jacket and wondering what happened. Isn't it great the Dwarves got something to do this arc? 1 Link to comment

Could mean nothing, but if they took the care to put Regina in her Queen of Hearts dress, it could mean the Hook/Papa Jones scene is from a different part of the timeline. Link to comment
Shanna Marie December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 I just don't see how they could go get him if he chose to sacrifice himself for everyone. It's the exact same thing Neal did. Why bring Hook back and not Neal? It can't just be because Emma's in love with Hook. One difference is that Hook is a Dark One. If he's a Dark One when he makes the sacrifice, there's precedent for a Dark One being brought back (and now, all of them), and maybe going physically to the underworld to get him means he comes back as a mortal, whereas Dumbfire doing it with a self-sacrificing dark magic ritual via the Dark One vault brought him back as the Dark One. 1 Link to comment

Mathius December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 (edited) OK, I'm beginning to see what A&E meant by 5B giving fans "that old Season 1 feeling again". It looks like the present-day action in 5B deals with the main cast stuck in Scarybrooke (like Storybrooke in S1), there are various dead people (ghosts of the main characters' pasts) inhabiting it (like the cursed people in S1), and despite there being an overall arc each episode will also have more self-contained stories revolving around setting these dead characters to rest or something (again, much like in S1 where Emma and friends bring back happy endings to people like Cinderella, Jiminy Cricket, Hansel and Gretel, Grumpy, Red Riding Hood, etc.) And to me, this has a LOT of potential. IF this is pulled off right, I will likely like it MUCH better than 5A. Edited December 1, 2015 by Mathius 4 Link to comment
RadioGirl27 December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 And to me, this has a LOT of potential for good stuff. In any other show? Sure. Here? Here we would have Milah asking for Rumple's forgiveness for being such a terrible wife and mother and all of Regina's victims telling her how amazing she is now and how much she has changed, while the rest of the characters whose names doesn't begin with R are being belittled by their "victims". 5 Link to comment

In some timeline somewhere in the past, Marian died by execution and that's why Robin had to raise Roland alone throughout all of Season 3 up until the finale. So there could be two Marians chilling in the Underworld, one for the initial timeline and one for the Zelena timeline. Link to comment
Hookian December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 The people on set said Milah was a cross guard for little kids.

kili December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 Milah being a cross guard is a pretty rightful punishment. Since she abandoned her child. If Hades wanted to punish her for that, she should have to work in a daycare. Crossing guard's only have to put up with kids for 30 seconds at a time. I think our local adult crossing guards have a great time because they love to stop traffic when the kids are a half a block away from the intersection. Then the kids feel bad and run to get across. They only have to spend like 5 seconds with the kids. Meanwhile, the children are taught to run across the road without looking. If Milah has to do eternal penance for running out on her kid, just imagine what Regina and Rumple will have to do. Hades seems ike quite a safe place if they have crossing-guards in Underbrooke. Storybrooke never had them. What happens if you get run over by a car in Underbrooke? Do you die? 1 Link to comment
Hookian December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 This just sounds hilarious. Hades has given all of these people punishments and I'm sure he's sitting pretty as the mayor of the Underbrooke. Cruella needs to be a Veterinarian and Pan should be a senior citizens caretaker. 6 Link to comment
