Are we meant to cheer for Charming here? Because punching someone in the face without warning is the manly man thing to do? Whale is a slimy creep, but he really didn't know who Mary Margaret was and Charming, who slept with Kathryn more than once, has no high ground to speak of in this situation.
So Whale is the one getting punched. I guess that's the least of his problems, considering he'll bring Daniel back to life and have to deal with full Rage-Regina.
That was the punch Ausiello was talking about? He really over-hyped it. Anyway, I was just thinking how amused I would be to see Charming stay on as a deputy once Emma returns. It would be hilarious for Emma to be her dad's boss.
While I'm a little upset that Charming just full-on punched him even though he knew there was a curse...I can kind of see why. Think of it this way -- would you be terribly happy with the person your wife/husband was "cheating on you" with? I know Whale was cursed and he didn't know better, but as a husband under a LOT of stress what with Mary Margaret and his daughter gone...I feel like I can forgive him a little bit, even though he deserves just as much of a punch because of the way he acted during the curse...:/
Wow people are really ragging on Charming. Was it right for him to punch the guy? No. But was it completely understandable? Hell yes! They were cursed and Whale didn't know, that's fine. But there's a HUGE difference between the logical point of view, which is just to forget about it because they were cursed, and the illogical, COMPLETELY human point of view that he's pissed someone else slept with his wife.
But so few of you are seeing the difference. If Daniel didn't understand that the curse made them all do things they'd never do, then he'd kick Whale's ass. The fact that he only punched the guy shows that he does understand, but Charming soooo isn't the kind of guy to just let that pass without some kind of action.
Give the guy a break. Way too many of you are always quick to jump on the hate train when it comes to this guy. Whale didn't deserve that punch, but you're thinking too logically about it. Humans aren't logical. We're emotional creatures, and emotionally Daniel needed to respond to the image of the woman he loves in the arms of another man.
There's a fine line between understanding and accepting.
They're trying too hard to make him completely different from David lately. I can see where they are taking the "we are both" approach with the other characters, but Charming only slipped from one extreme into another.
I love the dialog David: You slept with my wife! Whale: Katherine? (while searching his memory to see if he HAD slept with Katherine and deciding that no, he hadn't)
Thing is I loved him in FTL in "lady of the lake" but I just really can't seem to warm to him in Storybrooke. I agree it's like they are trying too hard to make him completely different to David but all they are doing, for me anyway, is making me dislike him a lot.
Daniel? I guess you mean David. It's close to impossible that Charming's real name will turn out to be Daniel (same as the name of Regina's true love, the stable boy).
Woah Charming... that wasn't completely called for. Love him, but that wasn't necessary. Oh well.. Whale didn't seem much worse for the wear. He's an odd duck for sure.
I know a lot of people are saying that Charming should not have punched Whale but come on he deserved it, I mean yes they were cursed but I mean if you think about where the story is headed, I think of the punch as well deserved cause it seems like Whale will do something in the future that will make that punch so worth it. So I like to the punch "Charming's insight into the future" LOL!!!
go back and watch the episodes idk which one but MM tells Emma that the flowers she got was from Whale, they had a one night stand and she didn't know how to respond. ps how might be tmi. jk :-)
No need to apologize, I just thought it would be so awkward if Charming's name was Daniel, lol. Btw, you're completely right, humans often act on emotion, passion rules reason. There are so many examples of this in the show, even the central conflict Regina/Snow White. That said, I understand why people are annoyed - after all, Charming is supposed to be "the hero" and he perceives himself as such, he thinks he is superior to most. He perceives himself as noble, brave and invincible, but his actions show that he is just as fallible as everyone else.
I hope there is some throwaway line in the ep where he says, "so&so took me to the gun range or what have you" or even better...there arises a situation where he has to use the gun but goes, "WTF? I don't even know how to use this thing". LOL.
Yes!! I hope when Emma gets back they continue to work together at the police station. There has been a severe lack of Emma/Charming bonding since the show started so I hope all of that changes once they're back together.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
He looks SO SO SO SO SO HOT (Charming, I mean)
ReplyDeleteWhat's Charming's deal?
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I love Charming. I don't miss the David Nolan side of things at all.
ReplyDeleteAre we meant to cheer for Charming here? Because punching someone in the face without warning is the manly man thing to do? Whale is a slimy creep, but he really didn't know who Mary Margaret was and Charming, who slept with Kathryn more than once, has no high ground to speak of in this situation.
ReplyDeleteHe is acting just a man. Don't expect David/Charming as a perfect human.
ReplyDeleteI love him so much in this season.
Whale always comes across as kinda fishy....
ReplyDeleteOh no! I love Charming but that really wasn't necessary, lol.
ReplyDeleteThere was no need to punch him. Whale was cursed too. He didn't know MM was married and MM willingly slept with him.
ReplyDeleteWTF is up with David,he deserves the same,in kind.
ReplyDeleteSo Whale is the one getting punched. I guess that's the least of his problems, considering he'll bring Daniel back to life and have to deal with full Rage-Regina.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree.
ReplyDeleteThey really are making it hard for me to like SB Charming. I mean Whale was cursed as well.
ReplyDeleteLOL! LOVE IT! GO CHARMING!
ReplyDeleteThat was the punch Ausiello was talking about? He really over-hyped it. Anyway, I was just thinking how amused I would be to see Charming stay on as a deputy once Emma returns. It would be hilarious for Emma to be her dad's boss.
ReplyDeleteCan Charming always wear a gun holster from now on? Pretty please!!!
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I like Whale??? :P He's very handsome and cool
ReplyDeleteNope. Now that I'm fairly certain he's Dr. Frankenstein I like his character a little more too.
ReplyDeleteI really wanted them to do that last season rather than just have him floating around making puppy dog eyes at people.
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm a little upset that Charming just full-on punched him even though he knew there was a curse...I can kind of see why. Think of it this way -- would you be terribly happy with the person your wife/husband was "cheating on you" with?

ReplyDeleteYeah, that would have been nice. My first choice for deputy last season was Ruby though.
ReplyDeleteWow people are really ragging on Charming. Was it right for him to punch the guy? No. But was it completely understandable? Hell yes! They were cursed and Whale didn't know, that's fine.

There's a fine line between understanding and accepting.
Yeah, I agree. She was really good at it.
ReplyDeleteRuby working with Emma in Red-Handed was all sorts of awesome. They should have made more of that.
ReplyDeleteMeh, still on Charming's side...Whale has been a douche to Charming on more than one occasion.
ReplyDeleteThey're trying too hard to make him completely different from David lately. I can see where they are taking the "we are both" approach with the other characters, but Charming only slipped from one extreme into another.
ReplyDeleteIt's not too late. The Storybrooke sheriff's dept. could always use a K-9 unit. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the dialog
ReplyDeleteDavid: You slept with my wife!
Whale: Katherine? (while searching his memory to see if he HAD slept with Katherine and deciding that no, he hadn't)
Big deal, I love charming and whales a d-bag anyway. Go ahead and flag down won't stop me thinking so.
ReplyDeleteThing is I loved him in FTL in "lady of the lake" but I just really can't seem to warm to him in Storybrooke. I agree it's like they are trying too hard to make him completely different to David but all they are doing, for me anyway, is making me dislike him a lot.
ReplyDeleteDaniel? I guess you mean David. It's close to impossible that Charming's real name will turn out to be Daniel (same as the name of Regina's true love, the stable boy).
ReplyDeleteWoah Charming... that wasn't completely called for. Love him, but that wasn't necessary. Oh well.. Whale didn't seem much worse for the wear. He's an odd duck for sure.

So I like to the punch "Charming's insight into the future" LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Charming. I can understand why he's pissed and he did sleep with Kathryn, but he is under a lot of stress and that probably made him feel better.
ReplyDeleteYeah I apologize for that. I haven't slept in nearly two days and I'm getting sick of all the whining about David and/or Charming.
ReplyDeleteWait! Did MM slept with him?? How? When?? O.O
ReplyDeleteI agree. He is already pretty awesome the holster def enhances! no complaints here.
ReplyDeleteYeah,he says 'your' land not 'our' land and he said to David "you're not my prince''.Whale definitely has an interesting and shady backstory.
ReplyDeleteOh Charming :-) Love it.
ReplyDeleteWhale: "Katherine?"
Charming: "Snow!" and he stomps off. :-)
Whale: "I was cursed"
Charming: "I know"
Me... haha Awesome!!!
LOL! He just had to do that! ;) Nice punch!
ReplyDeleteAnd I guess, Dr Whale gets why;)
go back and watch the episodes idk which one but MM tells Emma that the flowers she got was from Whale, they had a one night stand and she didn't know how to respond. ps how might be tmi. jk :-)
ReplyDeleteNo need to apologize, I just thought it would be so awkward if Charming's name was Daniel, lol.
ReplyDeleteBtw, you're completely right, humans often act on emotion, passion rules reason. There are so many examples of this in the show, even the central conflict Regina/Snow White.
That said, I understand why people are annoyed - after all, Charming is supposed to be "the hero" and he perceives himself as such, he thinks he is superior to most. He perceives himself as noble, brave and invincible, but his actions show that he is just as fallible as everyone else.
I remember that episode but in my 'naiveness' I didn't get that MM meant she had sex with Whale when she got the flowers. hahaha... Now I do!
ReplyDeletelol or a lupine unit..
ReplyDeleteHa! I do love it...
ReplyDeleteEven better. :)
ReplyDeleteI've always been a big fan, but that's just because I love the presence that David Anders brings to any role.
ReplyDeleteI wondered the same thing. I don't think he used too many handguns on the farm, and Charming always had a sword.
ReplyDeleteI hope there is some throwaway line in the ep where he says, "so&so took me to the gun range or what have you" or even better...there arises a situation where he has to use the gun but goes, "WTF? I don't even know how to use this thing". LOL.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm sure it'll never be mentioned.
I'm sure you're right. And it's too bad Emma's stuck in fairy tale land, because it would have been cute if she taught her dad how to shoot :)
ReplyDeleteYes!! I hope when Emma gets back they continue to work together at the police station. There has been a severe lack of Emma/Charming bonding since the show started so I hope all of that changes once they're back together.
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't know better, I'd say Dr. Whale is Tintin. At least the hair fits perfectly.
ReplyDeleteReally? Because I know many men who would never sucker punch someone. punching someone does not make you a man
ReplyDeleteSo who is going to punch out David for sleeping with someone other than his wife? His first wife that is..? :)
ReplyDeleteI liked him in Alias!
ReplyDeleteThat's where I saw him for the first time, and I've loved him since!
ReplyDeleteMe too! And even his character in Alias was shall we say questionable! One never quite knew what side he was on,he flipped so easily..
ReplyDeleteYES!! Loved that punch!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I prefer Charming and Snow over David and Mary-Margaret.
ReplyDeleteYes, Ruby for sheriff would be amazing!
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Sucker punch. And unfair sucker punch at that.
ReplyDeleteI love that he's fully embraces his temporary Sheriff-dom sportin' the gun and all.
Unfortunately, too many men think it does. I think you're absolutely correct it doesn't, but a lot of guys think it does.
ReplyDeleteLOL good one.
