InsertWordHere May 6, 2016 Share May 6, 2016 Well, since I don't believe Hook comes back to life in the cemetery, they really could have had Emma go anywhere for her to sit and think and Hook to find her. Imagine if she had gone to the water and Hook had found her there. But perhaps Hook comes back and can't find anyone to ask what's going on since most of the people he knows are at the cemetery. He eventually tracks them all there but doesn't interrupt the funeral to announce his presence and waits quietly until Emma is alone.

Bishop May 6, 2016 Share May 6, 2016 5 minutes ago, Curio said: I'm okay with resurrected Killian keeping the hook. I think on some subconscious level, Hook will always want to keep it just to atone for his centuries of being a bad person. If he's being given a second chance at a good life after years of being a villain, it's worth the sacrifice to only have one hand. It makes his redemption more believable. That's an excellent point. Quote And I agree that the Captain Swan reunion in front of Robin's grave is tasteless. I would have been okay if Hook appeared behind Emma at his grave when she's doing something with the rum flask. My guess is that Emma is at Hook's grave, mourns him and then (since she's in the cemetery) goes to Robin's grave to pay her respects as well. During that time, Hook is resurrected. Part of me prefers this scenario as opposed to him "popping up" from his grave while Emma is standing there. It makes more a dramatic impact for her to walk away and THEN have him appear. That being said, it would have been fine for him to appear to her somewhere else, but my guess is that the writes wanted to continue in the same emotional moment for Emma, moving from Killian's grave to pass by Robin's.

profdanglais May 6, 2016 Share May 6, 2016 Boy, Hades sure chose the perfect mark, didn't he? Zelena is so starved for affection and desperate to believe that someone loves her that she will accept anything Hades says. At this point, I'm rooting for Zelena's redemption.

YaddaYadda May 6, 2016 Share May 6, 2016 (edited) Hades really has Zelena's number, and he knows what makes her fall in line. Because this is it, Zelena is falling in line with Hades without him having to coerce her into doing it. I'm really looking forward to the fall out from all of this. Zelena is at the funeral, so I'm guessing there's no hard feelings between her and Regina. And if there are no hard feelings there, I don't see why Regina should resent Emma. I get the whole your boyfriend is back, and mine is dead bit of it, but still. Emma isn't who got Robin killed. I sort of feel bad that Roland is going to get separated from his sister though. She's his only blood relative, and I find that for an arc where siblings have been separated and reunited with some disastrous consequences, it doesn't make much sense to separate Hobbit child from his little sister.

It's stupid that Emma or Hook are getting blamed at all because Hades could have killed Robin without the #SaveHook plot if he really wanted to. We've been shown that Hades was able to visit Liam in the real world and make a deal to send the sailors to their deaths, so I don't see what was stopping him from popping into our world for a quick visit to convince Rumple he needs to kill Robin in order to tear up that baby contract. It could have been his twisted way of trying to woo Zelena by giving her full custody of Pistachio. It really sucks that Emma saved an innocent woman from being killed by Regina and then spent the entire next season getting yelled by Regina for ruining her life, but Zelena is going to get off scot-free even though it was her boyfriend who directly killed Robin. Regina convinced her sister to pursue the relationship with Hades even though Hook (the guy who was being tortured by the guy 48 hours earlier) said it was a terrible idea and to not trust Hades, so Regina kind of dug Robin's grave for him.

Fans (and Regina, likely) cycling back and saying "this is all Emma's fault because if not for her, Hades wouldn't have come to Storybrooke!" are being very disingenuous because Hades being in town didn't have to result in Robin's death, but Regina and Robin made their own choice and it backfired on them.

It might be related to Henry, but the whole reason they're going after Henry in the first place is because he's afraid Regina will turn evil and use dark magic again, and he's afraid she'll turn evil because Robin died. So I could easily see an argument where Regina blames Emma's mission to save Hook as the catalyst for freeing Hades and Robin dying, but Emma (hopefully) has some backbone and says that Regina's tendency to go evil after something bad happens to her is a personality thing which is Regina's fault.

(before the episode air) Here a little rant from a Emma Hook and CS fans about the way this fandom make this character the real Big Bad that cause all the problem when this character are the produit of others bad deed for the most part. Honestly it is tiresome that CS fans and Emma are again get blame. I saw all season long people dancing at the idea that Hook was dead and being torturing and Emma was in traumatisme statue since last year when she save Regina and all the people from the Darkness. So I think she has the right to happy if Hook come back. And I am sorry but Robin Hood is not more popular than Hook so I do believe that most of the G A even if sad for his death will be happy that Hook came back and that Emma the hero has final some hope at the end of terrible year for her. So some people should stop adding oil to the firebird like at saw some do.

Like when they said that one of the 9 was going to die to generate publicity. Nobody on the show is completely dead. I thought we were rid of Neal and he pops up every season to guilt trip Emma (what exactly did his message mean, anyway?). I fully expect to see Pan again. So, Sean had better be doing this at the behest of the show or his character might stay dead. Quote Remember, they released the clip of the big battle against Zelena a couple of days before the episode aired. Wasn't that Hulu posting something they should not? And maybe they did it early to get people who would be upset about it over it by the time the episode aired. The same may have happened here. They have to know that many of the overinvested fans spoil themselves. Quote ABC didn't release the photos and they weren't intended to be used for promo. Somebody with press access (presumably with the understanding that the photos could NOT be shared before the ep) posted them anyway. Why are they releasing such photos at all? Episode recaps?

I will say that the real spoilery photos are NOT on ABC's press site right now, which means they were either posted and then pulled, or the fan site got them some other way. I will say that as soon as I saw them last night, I immediately went to ABC's site and they weren't there so whoever grabbed them was able to so do very very quickly. Hopefully, they will learn from this and keep tighter control over what is released when or who gets access. The photos were watermarked with oncers.net, which was a dumb idea because it told ABC exactly who leaked them. If they did, in fact, have media access before, I highly doubt they have media access anymore. As for Game of Thrones, they had some serious issues with episodes being leaked last season.

InsertWordHere May 6, 2016 Share May 6, 2016 (edited) I am worried about the state of Robin's soul.

Which is sad since people like Cora and Henry I got to move on and I am confident the souls will be freed from the River. I am hoping Robin's soul can be saved somehow. Perhaps this is where Zeus will intervene. Weren't there rumors of a Marian return? Maybe we will see him reuniting with her in the Afterlife. Which would be funny, since right now I am seeing reactions to his death that center around the fact that a WOC's happy ending is being taken away.

justmythoughts May 6, 2016 Share May 6, 2016 Well... not that I care much for Robin... but I am tired of random new characthers being introduced and stealing precious screen time from those I've come to be fond of or at least interested to know about. And I know if A&E kill Robin for good, somehow in the future they will introduce a new love interest for Regina (not that a woman - or man - cannot be perfectly happy by herself, with love from family and friends, but this show) which will take time and a new story and blah... so I'd like to stick with the ones we know. So, the Sean twitter post... not very professional if the photo was not an official release. But maybe he is trying to mislead us... it is always possible. Anyways, the only thing that really interests me for next episode is Killian finally back from the dead, some happy moment for CS (I'd like, as many, a few episodes of happy life in this show, people having normal conversation, Regina and Robin watching Pistachio and Roland sleeping or whatever, Snow giving Belle pregnancy tips, Charming playing with baby 2 and Henry, CS watching some movie on the couch...but at the pace things are going, even 10 happy seconds sounds like heaven to me!). 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1910-spoiler-discussion-the-apple-was-poisoned/page/463/#findComment-2216157

Maybe to someone like EW or TV Guide, under tight embargo, so they can get their print coverage ready. But not to random entertainment bloggers. 1 hour ago, sharky said: With their press site, ABC has a tendency to either release one batch on Monday and then more later in the week to preview the show, or they release some extra photos after the show airs to help out media people with recaps and such. I will say that the real spoilery photos are NOT on ABC's press site right now, which means they were either posted and then pulled, or the fan site got them some other way. I will say that as soon as I saw them last night, I immediately went to ABC's site and they weren't there so whoever grabbed them was able to so do very very quickly. I don't think the pics were ever on the ABC press site. The fan site that posted them has consistently gotten and posted photos that weren't on the ABC press site, so they clearly have some other source -- IMO, somebody inside ABC. Somebody who should probably be worried about their job, but it doesn't seem like there's been any repercussions so far. Well, thank God we're finally getting inside Regina's head. She's been such a mysterious and unseen character until now. The only things I'm looking forward to in the finale are the lift kiss and whatever the Charmings & Hook get up to wherever the portal sends them. Two-hour fanservice Swan Mills Family road trip and a deep dive into Regina's psyche -- no, thank you.

Rumsy4 May 6, 2016 Share May 6, 2016 Their answer to the tattoo question makes me smell a retcon coming up next season. We need to watch out for tattoos on Jekyll/Hyde. I realized that neither Robin nor Regina have said the three words to each other in all this time. I wonder if they will in 5.21, or they will leave it be to reduce the impact of killing Regina's "soul mate". 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1910-spoiler-discussion-the-apple-was-poisoned/page/463/#findComment-2216352
pezgirl7 May 6, 2016 Share May 6, 2016 What if Rumple never really put Robin's heart back in his chest? Even if his body looks dead, could he still technically be alive? I'm guessing Robin is truly dead, and I won't miss him too much, but it just sucks for parts of the fandom. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1910-spoiler-discussion-the-apple-was-poisoned/page/463/#findComment-2216363
Mathius May 6, 2016 Share May 6, 2016 (edited) Quote And this is why A&E keep resetting Rumple and Regina. They want them to be both villains and heroes at the same time. Wow, I can't with that. Rumple I get, but Regina is apparently still one of the "ultimate villains"? That just makes all the coddling and whitewashing and rewarding she's gotten over the past few years that much worse. Also, I have to call bull on this quote from Eddy: Quote “Like every year, the two-hour finale is kind of a different piece than the rest of the season" The first season's two-hour finale was perfectly in line with the rest of the season, that's why it's still the best. The second season's finale was a different piece from the rest because the rest was so shattered as was, and the third and fourth season's finale still had some sort of connection to the arc that had just preceded it, no matter how slim. This year's season finale seems to come out of left field completely.

I think that Regina is still one of the "ultimate villains" because they're finally accepting that it's not "good" Regina they like writing for but Evil Queen and S1 Snarky Regina and this experiment of writing her "good" is over because let's face it - redeemed Regina is boring and LP's talent is in her over the top "Evil" acting.

Zelena is so starved for affection and desperate to believe that someone loves her that she will accept anything Hades says. That's exactly what I've been thinking ever since Hades started talking about how alone she is. Blatant manipulation masked as concern. I don't see how they could TLK if he is using her for his own ends. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1910-spoiler-discussion-the-apple-was-poisoned/page/463/#findComment-2216590

Mathius May 6, 2016 Share May 6, 2016 (edited) From Adam and Eddy... Quote We love these characters, we love writing for them, but this show has stakes Each and every one of these statements is laughably false. They love SOME characters, love writing for THOSE characters, and this show has no stakes whatsoever. Quote and every once in a while, a death is used to further a character's arc or story -- be it for the good or the bad part of that person's emotional well-being. Confirmation that Robin was killed to push Regina back to being the Evil Queen ("bad part of that person's emotional well-being"). Quote This weekend I am excited for them to watch Zelena's journey, and for the finale, I'm excited for them to watch Regina's. BIG FREAKING SURPRISE! Quote I think what we're going to do is we're going to get a real quiet moment with Regina where she tells us how she's really felt about everything: her redemption, going good, being bad. What we're excited about is there is this really great scene where Regina lays her heart out there in a way that we've never really seen before. I don’t think we've ever really gotten into her head in the show and showed it like this before. People want to know what makes Regina tick and they're going to get it. On the one hand, I'm intrigued. One the other hand, seriously? Quote There is a phenomenal scene between Snow and Regina that is one of my favorites God damn it, would it kill them to write a "favorite" scene between Snow and Emma? Just once? Quote I think we also missed Snow and Charming and we are really hoping next year to get more. I would like to see more of Snow White and Prince Charming and Bandit Snow and Swashbuckling Charming and I would like to just see so much more Snow next season. I'll believe it when I see it. It was your own damn fault that you and everyone else missed Snow and Charming. Quote Yeah! Personally, we would like to go back into those small town stories that we did in season one. There's a lot of Storybrooke yet to be mined and I think we're going to stay home for a while and see what happens. AGAIN, I'll believe it when I see it, and AGAIN, your own damn fault.

Curio May 6, 2016 Share May 6, 2016 So what in the world could Emma and Hook possibly be celebrating that requires an epic lift kiss? Do they finally agree to have sex? Do they win the lottery?

Mathius May 6, 2016 Share May 6, 2016 (edited) And from another interview... Quote Was it originally planned for Regina to face more of her victims in the Underworld? KITSIS: No. For us, we liked the idea that she had to get closure with her family. We loved having the victims that were there go up. A bunch of villagers we’ve never met before we didn’t think was as interesting as putting her in an arc with her sister, mom, and dad. KILL ME. Just kill me now. Quote In the aftermath of the funeral, will the Charming-Mills family bind together even tighter? HOROWITZ: Or the reverse could happen. Could the death cause Regina to revert back to the Evil Queen? KITSIS: Oooh, good question. Can’t say. The reason we can’t is because we can’t say there’s been a death. OK, I laughed at this, especially how Adam shot down the first question from an obvious SQer. Quote Will the innocent souls in the river like Aunt Em and Milah ever be released? KITSIS: I would watch this weekend. YES! Finally some HAPPY news! Quote Have we seen the last of Cruella? HOROWITZ: Can’t say, but we hope not. We love Cruella. I'm with Adam on this one. Quote Will we get to see what happened to Lily and Maleficent and who Lily’s dad is? HOROWITZ: Next season. Oh yeah, we’ll have plans. You’ll see, hopefully they’ll be great. KITSIS: I’ll say this, we hear the fans. We know what stories you feel like we’ve dropped, and we’ve got an episode for you next year. HOROWITZ: We’ve got some plans to try to address many of those things next season. Are we going to see what happened with Will and Anastasia someday? KITSIS: Someday! Maybe right around when we see Lily and Maleficent. Interesting.......

No. Quote Does Rumple have the capacity to care more about his unborn child than his power? KITSIS: That is the question of next season. So we're just looping back to Rumple's conflict over Bae? Boring! Quote We know what stories you feel like we’ve dropped, and we’ve got an episode for you next year. This. What is this. Is this one of those fan service episodes we've been wanting? Quote We’ve got some plans to try to address many of those things next season. I do like that A&E are saying we're going to be exploring Storybrooke next season. Of course that'll be minimal because it's them talking, but I'm intrigued still. They usually find that sort of thing boring. Quote Will we ever see Aladdin or Jasmine on the show? KITSIS: Oooh. HOROWITZ: Can’t say. KITSIS: Can’t say. Please for S6. Please. Even if it's a cheap parallel to Elsa in the S4 finale, I want it. Quote Are we going to see what happened with Will and Anastasia someday? KITSIS: Someday! Maybe right around when we see Lily and Maleficent. PLEASE. Quote and next year will not follow the same pattern that we’ve always done. This is fascinating. I hope it's more than just tripling the villain count. (The Queens of Darkness were supposedly there to switch things up.) Quote Will there be an engagement in the last few episodes of season 5? KITSIS: Nope. Disappointed. Captain Swan should get engaged after all the crap they've gone through to be together. I can't believe I'm saying this, but an A&E interview got me hyped up for S6.

Souris May 6, 2016 Share May 6, 2016 29 minutes ago, Serena said: Yeah, they could be officially deciding to move in together. I'm kinda relieved, because I wanted something more epic for the proposal. But they already pretty much addressed that with Hook & Henry picking out the house for their future. So there's no new ground there. And it's certainly not proper payoff for a season of angst & death. Just another letdown in a long string of them. I think the most shocking thing that could ever happen on this show is proper payoff for anything. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1910-spoiler-discussion-the-apple-was-poisoned/page/463/#findComment-2216815
