Agree. But I don't see Charming taking a backseat either. I want it to be the whole family. Yes there needs to be more mother and daughter scenes. But I want Snow and Charming working together to save their daughter. Not Snow and Hook. All three together sure. But Charming should be just as involved as Snow.

Again not said JUST Snow and Killian, what that person meant was helming the mission meaning leading it. Pretty sure Charming will be there and saving his daughter too

Austenphile

I think he should be leading it as well. I am tired of the writing favoring one parent over the other at different times and this mission would be a great time to show them equally as parents.

I'm sure they can find a babysitter for Neal.

Who knows. But i think we all know and see Charming and Emma scenes etc just not much on Snow and Emma, so guess maybe shift the focus there i guess

(And the last scenes of in the finale put these 3 in one visual shot to show them as a team/together when Emma says what she does to her parents, and then when she last looks at them whilst the darkness swirling around her in one visual shot)


I look forward to just how Snow will be in the loss of Emma, if Emma isnt still in SB


Granny, the dwarfes, maybe Belle (unless she is looking after frozen Rumple lol) who else is there.... Cinders? Aurora?

Austenphile

The fact that it showed all three of them is why I think it will not just be Snow and Hook. But you actually brought up my biggest complaint. First 2 1/2 seasons it was all Snow andEmma with no Emma and Charming scenes. Then it switched to all Emma and Charming and neglected the Snow/Emma scenes. Then the forgiveness speech and the two hugs were just Snow/Emma with Charming not even included. Thwy have never written well for both parents at the same time. I want that. Both parents equal at the same time. Not just Snow being the leader not just Charming being the leader.

Well said. The bolded is my biggest pet peeve with regards to how the writers have been handling Emma and her parents since since season 3 especially. It's completely unnecessary too, and I'm all for Snow and Charming being front and center together next season. Doesn't mean others won't be involved in trying to save Emma from the darkness, of course, but she's their daughter and I'm so not here for a story that once again favors one parent/child dynamic over the other.

Austenphile

Thank you. You succinctly said what I have been dancing around trying to say.

I think it should a be a team effort, Henry included, but I do think Snowing should play an equal part not one more than the other.

(I want to add here before, that I know this thread is Snow and Emma's thread so I don't want to talk about anyone else MUCH, but I will say this here - since the discussion is here, so bear with me )


I also believe it will be a TEAM EFFORT when hasn't it ever been -its always a team effort. But I also like to point out that I do believe and thought Killian will lead this mission along with her parents there [The 3 of them and Henry there as well depends how much part they give him].
Just like how he took them all to Neverland they ALL were together working as a team.


The reason I say Killian is obvious its the woman he loves and that man would not stop at anything to get her back - go to the ends of the world for her etc, he himself has said which has said and seemed to be foreshadow that he has led many a rescue missions. He was there when The Apprentice revealed about Merlin and the darkness with Emma and Henry. Obviously he will tell them all this but the show had these 3 in a scene. Another one the last shots of the finale... camera zooming and panning to him last and then the dagger on the floor to reveal Emma's name.. (But we also have to keep in mind that for Killian - he has lost the woman he loves due to darkness and one that has become the dark one when this man has a long history with the dark one there is that sense of ironic and poetic parallel there. The one who has lost his happy ending and I don't want to devalue Killian and any of this because its important.) These are facts not just opinions.


And yes I do like the idea of Snow and Killian leading the mission (AS Sarah only wrote as a prediction of her OWN), and that is no devalue to Charming who will be there just as much them. So this is just an opinion. Because i always kinda thought yep it will be Killian and Charming being the force but i like Snow being the force abit more. IMO


Now coming to Snow and Emma, I like others have seen there isn't much Snow/Emma bonding whilst there is Charming and Emma which is great. Because Charming knows how to gel well with Emma, talk to her etc... and also it comes across well and so on because they also work together. So that's why I would like to see some of Snow and Emma. Mother and daughter.

I do think both Charming and Snow will play the parts equalling and to save Emma, lift the darkness out of her again as heroes as that's what Emma tells them. But writing wise they could have Snow in the forefront of it even if Charming is there with her you know.

Anyways hopefully i see core relationships of Emma - the ppl she loves playing a part - Emma/Snow - Emma/Charming - Emma/Her Parents - Emma/Henry and Emma/Killian... these ppl she loves and are part of her happy ending... the reasons she lives for her. (just before she left for her road trip which had an imply, she has her parents, she has Henry and she included Killian in that list) So THESE ppl!!!

HazelEyes008

Len, i think you have written pretty much what i wanted to get across but in more depth lol.
Well said.



I somewhat agree with this.

I dont like to see one parent favor the other thats why i said we need to get the Snow and Emma bond in focus as well. Because we had Charming and Snow.


New thread soon guys

Lennie1984

Thanks.

Maybe use a title from the mother episode? between Emma and Snow

sourburst

I agree with everything and thank you for putting your time into writing it

Lennie1984

Thank you

Austenphile

That's just it. We need both in focus not switching to Snow and Hook saving Emma. I hope the writers don't just push one parental relationship to the front but have learned and will show both. Plus I really want Snow and Charming working together not Snow primarily with Hook. I love it when Snowing do things equally together. Plus they need a story with the whole family. Sure I want Snow and Emma scenes but not a switch around again. And Hook can play his part but I want her parents to atone for what happened with Hook secondary. But that's just my opinion.
