I have not commented on this forum for years but I was logging on to weigh in on how despicable and disturbing I found it that they reached for their old reliable "rape by deception" for their latest

You know, I have such mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, this show needed to be done. Its been running on fumes for a long time, and I want the talented cast to get to move onto new, better,

Hey everyone, it only took me three tries to remember my password. I thought of you all as soon as I heard Once Upon a Time had been cancelled. Like most of you, I think it should have ended last

I know that approximately 800 million people love Captain Swan but can we all admit that while the charismatic Colin Donaghue is the best, Hook as a character is almost unbearable?

No.

Someone who stans Regina as much as she does has little room to be calling any other character "almost unbearable", especially when it comes to this particular episode. 

 

Also, the context behind that quote is completely "WTF? Where are you getting THAT from?"  I can't believe I'm saying this, but to anyone who doesn't get it, read the review for yourselves.  There are no words.  Though it's certainly not the first time Lily has looked waaay too deeply into things and translated them into some gender politics issue.

 

ETA: Actually, there are some words.  Lily, if Hook was being turned off by a woman being sexually aggressive, then please explain his reaction to Emma forcefully kissing him back in 3x05, or even better, her pinning him down on a freaking BED just a few episodes ago in 4x22? This has nothing to do with female sexuality and everything to do with Emma not being the woman he loves.  If he was to respond positively to her now, he'd be as skeevy as Gold was with Lacey.

That sentence doesn't even make sense. If 800 million people love Captain Swan, why would they agree that they don't like Hook? Does she think most shippers are like SQers, and ship their fave with a character they can't stand?

 

I'm pretty entertained by the idea that Hook is turned off by aggressive female sexuality. Sure. The best part is I'm 100% sure if he had stayed with her, she would have called him a rapist. Actually, I bet if you go back and read some of her old "reviews", she has 100% called him a rapist for kissing and/or expressing interest in Emma before.

^ wasn't Milah portrayed with an aggressive/confident/headstrong attitude (granted we never saw her and Hook kissing), and he was with her for how many years? 7? 8? So her words make no sense. He had a problem with Emma being, you know, evil (which just isn't her), not her aggressiveness.

If he is in Emma's space he's a rapist. If he refuses to kiss someone he knows is not being themselves then it means he doesn't enjoy aggressive women? Like others have said she'd be calling Hook a rapist like the other people who clearly need to research what a rapist actually is.

 

As for 800 million people shipping Captain Swan but hating Hook? Sounds fake but whatever.

Both past and current versions of himself were very interested in an aggressive Emma in the season 3 finale as well.

I find it crazy that all these high placed people in companies, business owners are marketing the show in their own way because they love Once. I think it's great. Is ABC making money off this latest thing? I'd think they are.

Definitely. They're licensing the characters so I'm guessing the company is paying them some fee or some percentage of the sales. Same with the Funko Pops, I'd guess.

That reminds me, I ended up getting my Hook and Emma Funko Pops at Hot Topic this past weekend. From the way they were stacked on the shelf, it looked like other customers had picked up a few of the Once characters that day. Hope they sell well.

I'm really looking forward to a Hook action figure that actually resembles the character. The Spike figure I've got is very well done. Not loving the Funko versions. Think I'll save my money. 

Backing up a little - I used to read Lily's recaps and found them amusing at first. Had to give that up when the SQ madness really took hold. It was bad for my blood pressure. Doesn't surprise me she'd refer to Hook as "almost unbearable." What more could you expect from a Regina fan? It's all Bizzaro World for them: up is down, black is white, Regina's the Greatest, etc.

Well, THAT was certainly worth the wait. God, I just really, really love that black pirate shirt of his. It's the most important, yet useless piece of clothing he's got. Anyone else think he looks like a tired puppy? Looks like he's worked a long day. The dweeb is probably dead on his feet, but nope! Gotta post this vid of me twirling in a kilt first! Brilliant. Take that, Sam Heughan!

Seeing how PR seems to be a bit lacking this season (aside from Jmo/Emma stuff), here's a very short, non-spoilery interview that Joana Metrass (Guinevere) did. It doesn't really cover anything we don't already know, but with so little we've seen of Gwen so far, I thought why not?

She was at it again in the recap for the recent episode, shoehorning in a "look how much better and clearly more canon SQ is than CS" even when the moment really didn't call for it.

Also, she's had a hate-on for the Charmings since Season 1 (you know, BEFORE they were derailed to the point where hating them became understandable), and also routinely hated and insulted Emma until she became a SQ shipper. That's a recurring theme when it comes to SQ shippers...they don't care about Emma, they only care about how she can pleasure Regina.

It's really sad, and kinda scary too, seeing people so, so deeply in denial. A & E have said that SQ ain't never gonna be canon. In some ways it would be laughable if it weren't so enraging. Of course, I've never seen any of them go after Robin (doesn't mean they haven't) b/c he's mostly just one of Regina's props. I think Hook's mere presence is such a threat to them b/c they know deep down that their delusion is just that, a delusion.

Hook has certainly never tried to kill Emma's mom (that would be like if Spike had tried to kill Joyce, I guess, but he actually liked Joyce). Hook would rather live in Emma's world than live without her in his own. He's a fan of every part of her, whereas Regina is verbally and emotionally abusive.

As for pleasuring Regina, I say Regina can go f*ck herself. She's the only one she really cares about anyway.

Can we talk about how much of a troll Eddy is? Sometimes it's "she did it to save Regina", this time he says "She takes the dagger to save everyone.". THE MOST TROLLISH.

 

He is, but it's now in the dialogue in the show that she saved everyone, as opposed to the whole oh, it's ambiguous, which it wasn't if you watch the whole show. What's always bugged me with Eddy was that he was one of 2 people who wrote that finale.

I think it's possible for it to be both.

I have to say in Adam or Eddy's position I would not be able to resist being just a little bit of a troll. But that probably says more about me than them.

Sean has been doing the press rounds. I had to laugh at this (from here - some spoilers at the source)

 

"Obviously if the baby wasn't there, despite his moral compass, I think he'd be quite glad if she was no longer alive," he says. "She killed his wife, and she killed many of his friends, and she's just pure evil."

Sure, now he has a problem with a Mills woman killing his wife. Because he cares sooooo much about Marian. Right.

And which "many" friends did she kill? Is Robin another one who had a deep meaningful relationship with Neal that was mostly off screen? I bet the Outlaw Green baby is gonna be called Neal Number Two. Snow probably enacted a law in the three weeks she was mayor that every male newborn must be named Neal.

The show seems to do this sometimes. Like if there's a Hook-centric episode coming up, they book Colin to do the rounds and talk with all the media folks. I wonder if they just took it a step further by having Sean in Los Angeles. Maybe they don't need him as much for the episode they're filming so it was easy for him to take off a few days.

He's been doing a crazy amount of press the past couple of days. Not even JMo at NYCC did this much press. Is it the show sending him out or just his publicist?

He's doing all the smaller outlets. JMo at Comic Con did less interviews, but they were with EW and the Wall Street Journal. But yeah, I think they're sending him to do publicity because he doesn't film as much. I think he's charming, so it's a good strategy, it's just the obligatory Baby Green quote that made me roll my eyes.
