Once Upon A Time Rewatch: 6x13 Ill-Boding Patterns

Okay, no idea which episode this is going to be. Time for a suprise!

Oh God! Not this one!

That man is freaking tall!

Apparently, he’s 6’4”. No way! That’s my uncle’s height but he never seems THAT tall. This dude could straight up wrestle one of those ogres and win.

Who cares if you’re known as a coward? It’s just a word that someone made up years ago. No point getting killed just so people won’t call you a silly made up word. Words mean nothing unless we choose to take meaning from them. We’re all living in a matrix. 

The tall guy seems manipulative. 

It would be like being poked with toothpicks to the ogres. Pointless.

They should have used magic all along! Blue is supposed to be more powerful than the Dark One and the kids were crying out to her. Why couldn’t she have defeated them all years ago?! Because she’s a shady biatch. That’s why.

Killian being called son by David seems so weird given Killian’s age.

Gosh, Harry Potter gets Sirius black as an awesome Godparent and then there’s Gideon, who gets stuck with the freaking Blue Fairy of all people! Can you imagine?

I suppose this kid looks enough like original Baelfire.

Gideon is so dramatic, bless him.

Night night.

What is Robin doing?

What’s he up to?

It’s great that he doesn’t want his son to fall into the darkness like he did. It shows that deep down he thinks evil is the wrong way. 

Umm. Wtf is that with them basically giving Baelfire ‘blackface’ to ‘make him look like a monster’??! That doesn’t even look like mud! Listen, I’m black and these implications are horrible! Why couldn’t they have covered him in sparkly dirt or something gold? They did not think this through at all. Yikes! 

How is he gonna save all those people without his magic?

Where’d he get those golden presumably magic-suppressing-ropes from? Those would have come in handy in the past! 

Rumple tried to do the right thing when he first became the Dark One. He really did.

Oh, it’s Belle’s book that brainwashed Gideon? Why does that not surprise me.

Why didn’t a memory potion work on him?

Oh! It was the cuff, not the ropes that supressed his magic.

Oh God. You don’t understand the horrible sense of terror I had when I first watched this episode. For some reason I thought the Grendel was that bloody terrifying guy in one of the first episodes of OUAT in Wonderland. If you know, you know. I spent every flashback scene squinting with one eye, my heart flipping pounding, especially when they went into the cave! 

This guy has got to be 7 foot!

Zelena: “And then, it’s hello New York City” Of course, we all know she wants to go back to see ‘Wicked’ on Broadway for the 14th time xD. It’s her favourite show! 

I forgot who’s spell it was keeping them in SB now. Split Queen’s, maybe?

I hate this part so much. Anyway, this boy is an imposter because Baelfire would never!! 

Nop, nope, nope, nope, nope. This goes against everything Baelfire stands for!! Why would they do this?! It makes me so angry! It’s not canon! I refuse to accept this as canon! This is Baelfire’s cousin, Bonfire, okay! I hate this so much.

Sure you tried Blue, sure you tried. We all know you threw him off a cloud.

Ow! 

Sorry Blue, but it is a truth universally acknowledged that bitches get stitches.

Rumple and Gideon working together. 

Wtf have they done to Baelfire?! He would never want to enact revenge on someone for pushing him in the mud. He would try to defend them from his father. What is this bullcrap? And now he thinks he needs the dagger. He. Hates. Magic. Don’t you understand your own character, show?

I thought he just needed her blood, not all her magic. 

I used to have the jumper Emma’s wearing. I wonder what happened to it.

Uh oh. The worst time to propose would be now. He should tell her first. The secret we know he’s holding back kinda kills this moment. 

Are Zelena and Regina gonna make up now? 

Regina: “I guess I’ll always be paying the price for what you did- what I did.” Yay! Progress! 

Split Queen’s gone!

Ow! Why’d she bite him? Are cobras venomous, I wonder.

@sieben9, just so you can truly appreciate the height difference between these two.

Emma Swan, will you marry me?

Killian Jones to Emma Swan, OUAT- 6x13 “III-Boding Patterns”

[ifishouldvanish]

Rumple darkened his soul to protect his son from war.

Bae was tempted by the darkness but Rumple refused to let him follow that path.

Rumple would rather have his son hate him than have his son make the same mistakes he did.

Bae died a hero not in spite of the man his father was, but because of the man his father was.

Don’t touch me.

[onceuponatime-confessions-blog]

Why do the writers constantly insist on trampling over what good character aspects they have created by adding retrospective scenes like this one with Bae. I don’t believe it for a moment and it was absolutely unnecessary.

[whimsicallyenchantedrose]

So I have a major fangirl dilemma going on right now....

On the one hand, that proposal, simple as it was, was beautiful.  The love in both of their eyes.  The total lack of hesitation on Emma’s face.  Happy Ever After right there in their grasp.  *happy sigh*  It nearly brought tears.

On the other hand...there’s the matter of daddy Nolan and Killian’s big, fat, terrible secret.  He should have told her before proposing.  I know that.  I believe that.  My heart dropped when he didn’t.

But...I know it was wrong not to tell her, but I understand where he’s coming from.  Heaven was just placed before him.  A lifetime of happiness with his true love.  He fully believes that if he told her he would lose her forever, and the thought of losing Emma now, when all his dreams are about to come true has to be almost overwhelming.  I...can’t say I don’t blame him, because he did the wrong thing, but I��m not going to lie.  I honestly don’t know if I would have been able to make a different choice than he did if I was in his situation.

This feels like the Emma-turning-Killian-into-a-dark-one situation all over again and my head and my heart are all tied up in knots over it.

[kat2609]

"How could I ever think removing my evil half would change anything?" ...We interrupt this moment of rare self realisation for this small period of anti ranting.... I don't know, because that is how you operate??? Quick fix then blame the world when it doesn't work?? Sigh. Just sigh.

Pros of that episode:

1. Rumple is A+++++ good parenting, my guy. 2. Rumple was super honest with Belle about what he’d been up to that day and didn’t like hide the Blue Fairy’s comatose body in a closet or something. 3. Rumple loves his family so much it makes my heart hurt. 4. Gideon dramatically swanning around the sheriff’s station in broad daylight in that big ass cloak was ridiculously extra and I loved it. Also, do Emma and David not work? Why was no one there? 5. Weirdly enjoyed the Robin/Zelena team up?  6. Lana’s faaaaaaaaace at the town line. I die.  7. The queen de-snaked herself because of course she did. Really kind of hoping they wrap that up next week though. I’m ready for whole Queen back. 8. RUMBELLE HUG!!!!! And Rumple’s face? He needed that hug so badly. He was clinging to her so tight. It was like the Bear and the Bow hug times a thousand and I need it giffed 100 times so I can reblog every one. What a good hug.

Cons of that episode:

1. Throwing poor, sweet, dead, teenage Baelfire under the bus and making him act completely out of character. Unless saying carrying the dagger around is like a horcrux and it infects you with its dark magic or something. But that seemed so weird for Bae to do. I’m sad they messed with Papafire that way even though it showcased how much Rumple loved his son. 2. Yet another engagement based on a lie. That was an opportune moment to come clean, Hook, and you missed it. 

But, like, it didn’t make me want to slit my throat so not a bad episode over all?
