I wasn't sure if we were supposed to see Tinkerbell calling Regina "selfish" for not throwing herself at the Man with the Lion Tattoo as something the writers also believed, or something that was squarely just Tinkerbell's opinion, but it felt like both, and that gave me the wiggins. Not a big Regina fan, but even as nasty as she was about it afterwards, she didn't owe Tink a thing for finding her New Twu Wuv.
I had a similar reaction. I thought, okay, Tink is blaming Regina for not deciding to follow Tink's advice and hook up with the man with the Lion Tattoo??? Tink's a nitwit. It's not Regina's fault Tink decided to butt into Regina's love life. Regina didn't ask her too. There were no wishes involved. I may not be a fan of Regina, who I still think is written and performed unevenly, but on this point - I agreed with Regina. She doesn't owe Tink anything - Tink lost her wings because she was trying to play God (and apparently not for the first time either according to the Blue Fairy). She even named herself "Tinkerbell".
they segued right to Emma and Hook, and I just got a bad feeling. Hook's gonna make a move on Emma, and she either responds briefly and Neal sees it, or she responds with some enthusiasm and Neal sees it. Just to keep the Emma+Neal thing at bay so there's no happy together there any time soon.
Oh definitely. They are telegraphing that one. Even had Regina comment on it this week - just in case no one had picked up on it. It could be interesting - from a Hook:Bae and Hook:Rumple standpoint. But grating and a tad cliche from an Emma/Bae/Henry standpoint. It's not that I mind the pairing, just the cliche faux love triangle of doom, which writers rely far too much on in tv series. They might do it better...I hope they do.
are we in suspense about Charming being poisoned? Because I'm unspoiled for the season and actor stuff, but I think something will come up and save him before he dies. The real suspense is, what will he have to pay for the cure, and how will that change the story.
Not really. The network execs made it clear to the writers that the show gets cancelled if they kill Charming way back in S1, stating and I quote - that you have to let the watcher have some hope for a happy ending (or something to that effect). So no, Charming is safe. I knew Regina was safe for the same reason. (There is no way they are killing Henry, Charming, Hook, Emma, Rumple, Regina, or Snow White. Everyone else may be up for grabs, although I'm pretty sure Neal is safe for the time being. The writers adore the actor.)
No, I agree with you...more likely the cure will come with a price. The last person to be poisoned in that manner was Rumplestilskin and look how they saved his life?
In conclusion, fairies are all kind of jerks, y'know?
Agreed. Also they have horrible fashion sense. I'm not unconvinced Pan may not be a fairy himself. He does have pointy ears after all. Either a fairy or an elf, assuming there are elves in this world - no evidence one way or the other as of yet.
