No, he doesn’t stop into a J. Crew. [Laughs] He’s in his regular clothes but he is a little bit stealthy. He stalks Rumple a bit, and it’s about him figuring out a way to get back at Rumple and not go straight in all guns blazing, because at the end of the day Rumplestiltskin is still powerful.
TVLINE | OK, because I was wondering: Is Hook going to be surprised to learn there is magic in Storybrooke? Because the bill of goods Cora sold him was, “There’s no magic in this place, so you’re going to be able to show up and kick ass.
It is a surprise, so he has to figure out what’s the best way to get to Rumple, the best way to get his revenge, because obviously Hook is not really a magical character.

No thanks to Emma/Hook. They have no chemistry and he would not be a good influence on Henry.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have August, provided he shows the hell up immediately because I miss him.
It's actually HILARIOUS the way every article and interview tries to push Emma/Hook yet Colin, Jen and Eddy & Adam keep downplaying it over and over again.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I'd rather have Hook than anyone else that has been put forward as a "legitimate" love interest for Emma.
August is a terrible person who has betrayed Emma many times, first he abandons her as a baby, then he destroys her chance of true love and having a family and he stole the money Neal left for Emma. She should take a chainsaw to him.
ReplyDeletepffffffff enough with the Hook/Emma thing!
ReplyDeleteSoon Emma will date with all men in Storybrooke, and not only will date with David, because he is her father
ReplyDeleteA) August was a child who was previously a wooden boy when he left Emma. Kids made mistakes.
ReplyDeleteB) Yeah, Emma totally would have had a great life stealing with Neal. They most likely would have lost Henry to the foster system because they never would have stopped stealing. That wasn't a good environment for a child, and as much as it pains me to say it, Henry was better off with Regina. And hey, guess what? The money August took? Was stolen anyway! It didn't belong to Emma nor Neal. (Or August, but he was lost in his addictions at that point.) And who says Neal is Emma's true love? We don't know that.
August is trying to make up for it now, and that's all that matters.
Could we please stop trying to make every single character a love interest for Emma? She has so much stuff to figure out already... her recently found parents, Henry (and consequentially, Regina), being the Savior, etc.
ReplyDeleteWhy do people need her to be romantically involved right now?
So Henry was better off with Regina but now that Emma is "ready" he's better with her?
ReplyDeleteIt's funny to me how Neal, who left Emma, gets absolutely no blame at all from some people and it's all August's fault. It's not like Neal held a gun to anyone's head and forced them to leave. August revealed Emma's role as the saviour to Neal and asked him, Neal, to make a choice. Neal's choice was to leave Emma without a word. But yeah, let's pile all of the blame on August.
ReplyDeleteI may be the only one, but if we have to give everyone a love interest I'd be down with a Hook/Cora pairing.
ReplyDeleteThey have a dynamic that's exciting in it's own way and it's not the same lame female lead/bad boy let's redeem him with luuurve pairing you see everywhere all the time.
No, of course not. I still believe they should have joint custody, but Regina still isn't a good option to be raising Henry after all she's done. At least Henry was in a stable household and not with two people who were constantly on the run.
ReplyDeleteWhat Regina gave Henry was anything BUT stable.
ReplyDeleteIt IS August's fault, Neal has some blame but August showed him whatever he needed to show him and pulled that stupid "If you'll love her, you'll leave" crap.And most people aren't even pissed at that, what they ARE pissed on is August abandoning Emma after manipulating her life to go party and only returning when consequences were catching up to him.
ReplyDeleteEmma needs a good father figure for Henry, not a lying womanizing backstabling woman beater.
ReplyDeleteDid August create the curse? Did August make Emma the saviour? Did August cast the curse? Did August insist on putting a baby through a wardrobe in the mere hope that she would survive, grow up and break the curse? I don't think he did.
ReplyDeleteAugust is a victim of the fucked up circumstances brought about by Rumplestiltskin and the Evil Queen, just like Emma. He was a boy of not even 10 years of age when he was put through a wardrobe into a whole new world. A world that must have scared the crap out of him. He had no one to guide him. Instead he, a child himself, was asked to guide Emma and set her life on the path to break the curse.
August did what he thought was expected of him. He tried to set Emma's life on the path that would lead to her breaking the curse. Putting Emma into jail for it and hoping that everything would then turn out alright without further help was wrong, but as long as he's trying to redeem himself I'm willing to give him the same second chance everyone else gets on this show after they've made mistakes.
There are people who've done so much worse than August on OUAT and if they can get another chance if they try to right some wrongs so should August.
Yup, I agree with that, but it was still a teensy bit more stable than a life he would have lived with Emma and Neal.
ReplyDeleteThis completely!
ReplyDeleteNo. Because w'eve seen the life he had with Regina and it's obviously left a terrible impact. We don't know if Emma or Neal would've settled down or not so saying he was better off with Regina is ridiculous because we don't know.
ReplyDeleteNo one was denying that it was a bad situation that he was put in when he was a kid. But that doesn't make him playing with her life because of what HE thought it should be any better and then abandoning her with money that belonged TO HER excusable.
ReplyDeleteAnd when was he trying to redeem himself? Everything he's done was so he wouldn't get turned to wood. I've never seen him regret anything he's done.
Oh? And we know that how? Only based on Henry's words. And perhaps MM opinion but then again she wouldn't know for sure, only from what Henry would've told her. If Regina was really such a bitch, would she have raised such a clever, kind boy? He had her as the only parent figure in his life and he turned out just fine so she must've done something right. He's not scared for life or anything. He claims she wanted to make him feel crazy - it's not true, she just didn't want him to believe she was an evil witch, what mother would want that? A lot of parents send their kids to a therapy, does it mean they think their kids are bonkers? Let's not forget he's a 10 year old growing up so he will rebel for its own sake and I'm sure Regina was hoping it was just that age.
ReplyDeleteIt really looks like Regina has done the hardest part in bringing up the kid - dealing with all the problems of a new born child, sleepless nights, fevers, nappies, teaching him to speak, walk, understand the world and now he's ready for the next, considerably easier stage, Emma is taking over. I'm not saying Regina was a perfect mother because not many people are. But saying Henry had a horrible childhood would also be an understatement. We see how loving she was in the episode when he was to communicate with Aurora, even with the blanket. He is actually spoiled with all the things he has! She has given him a lot of her attention, not always in the right way, but she has!
Yes, at some point mother and her son lost their good communication but there was a time when little Henry saw nobody else but Regina and thought great of her, as any other kid. I hope they might explore this part to clarify for everyone.
And yes, Regina said Henry had no friends - but would he tell her if he had any? You know, not always terrible parenting results in people having no friends, sometimes it's just their inborn personality, he prefers books, that's his world. Clearly, he's a lot more intelligent than other kids his age so he wouldn't have much in common with them anyway - please don't say it's all Regina's parenting! Plus, now we see he doesn't come across as an outsider and I can't believe him not having any friends or intentionally being left out!
So please, some credit for Regina!
I like this idea mainly because that's a pairing that wouldn't be based on true love. Don't get me wrong, I'm not heartless, I think true love is good, but we already have an overdose of sugary relationship with Snow and Charming.
ReplyDeleteBesides, this is not FTL and here in the land without magic we got many kinda screwed up relationships, the show might as well recognize that.
I would legit kill for some Hook/Cora
ReplyDeleteWhy are Gold and Regina redeemable - who have done way worse than August - and he isn't? That doesn't make any sense.
ReplyDeleteYup, exactly! Hook would not be a good influence on Henry. I don't trust Neal either. And August may have screwed up, but I think he'd be a good father for him.
ReplyDeleteAugust was a kid himself,how was he suppose to take care of her?I don't see how he betrayed her 'many times'where you do get that? Oh he stole the money,how bout he stole the stolen money.They were all in horrible situations because of the damn curse,and in my eyes he did the best he could considering his age..He tried to do the best he could,that is all you could ask of a boy.
ReplyDeleteNo one SAID that Rumpel and Regina were redeemable, this thread isn't about them.
ReplyDeleteHey, that money wasn't his either and instead of going to help the woman whose life HE MANIPULATED after they made her take the fall for Neal's crime, he went to go party with it. Some "Guardian Angel" there .
When did he feel guilty? He only returned because he was turning into wood and after he got back, he was doing every underhanded thing he could think of to get cured. It was never about stopping the curse, ti was about saving his own splintery backside. I mean for God's Sake, good guys don't use the memories of a man's guilt about dropping his son through a portal and instead of feeling bad that they were underhandedly trying to get control of him, mock him about whether or not he looks like him. Is Rumpel good? No. But That doesn't mean you do that.
He was an adult. HOw is manipulating her boyfriend to leave her and then abandoning her to party 'being stuck in a bad situation and he did the best he could"? It's not.
ReplyDeletethis show is way too good to be only about love interests but that is the only thing that everyone seems to be talking about these days...i wish everyone would just stop and try to pay attention to the way more interesting plot developments...
ReplyDeleteExcept August is now nowhere to be found. He ran away because he's so ashamed of himself. He's still running away from his problems and responsibilities rather than facing him, even going as far to avoid his own father.
ReplyDeleteIt was ridiculous to put that much responsibility on the shoulders of a little boy, but the fact that August ran away with all that money as an adult while Emma was stuck in jail (and no intention of checking up on her and getting her to believe in their world) is practically unforgivable. Neal left that money for her so that she would be taken care of, but due to August's selfishness, she didn't see a penny of it.
As for Neal taking blame, we still don't know what was in the box, so that whole argument gets iffy. He CAN be blamed for not coming out to Storybrooke once the curse was broken (granted, Emma would have been gone, but he would have been able to find out about her).
August and Neal both have things to feel guilty for with Emma, but August has far more guilt to deal with.
I've run into plenty of people who think Rumpelstiltskin and Regina's actions are redeemable and August isn't, tbh.
ReplyDeleteI think he does feel guilty, so I think we're going to have to agree to disagree here.
He wasn't an adult when he left her.And her boyfriend,i didn't see August twisting his arm to get him out of her life.What ever was in that box made him decide to do it,on his own.Its obvious August saw Emma's future,he showed it to Neal, he is the one to walk away.Yeah,the situation all around sucked but their was a path that led to this,still leading to this.It might not have been pretty but there were reasons for it, good or bad.
ReplyDeleteThe blame doesn't lie on one person,and that goes for August as well.
Yeah, but Neal is really Henry's father. Whether people like it or not. And when he knows he has a son, he will surely make demands.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing - Was the Henry's adoption legal?
We're not entirely sure if Henry's adoption was legal.
ReplyDeleteAnd I honestly don't think Neal would be a good influence on Henry either - I believe it was implied or stated in an interview that he's still committing crimes. (I believe he is still stealing)
