2020-09-02 05:53:20 +0000 UTCYay!!!! What a fabulous episode!!! I love it!! Even though this ending left you feeling angry and bitter towards Hook, I enjoyed your reaction nonetheless. Thank you! To me... Hook is phenomenal in this episode in spite of everything. And he's finally begun to get his revenge against Rumplestiltskin by hurting the woman he loves, like Rumple killed Hook's love. It's definitely wrong. I'm not saying it's not wrong and I'm mad at him for hurting Belle too. But I completely understand Hook's character and his desperate need for revenge against Rumplestiltskin. Rumple after all killed his love, so it absolutely makes sense that Hook would do the same to Rumplestiltskin. And like you said... Rumple is most definitely more the villain in this entire situation. Not that Hook isn't wrong for seeking revenge and hurting innocent people to get it, but Rumple killed his wife because she left him and their son, and left to go off with another man, who Rumple then wronged as well when he cut off Hook's hand. The two punishments are not equal. However, I love that Hook also spares Belle's life rather than actually killing her, which he could have done very easily. I was surprised by this honestly, and yet I love it, especially because to me... I feel like it shows that Hook also isn't completely heartless. Yes... Hook wants Rumplestiltskin to suffer, and he doesn't appear to care about who gets hurt in his quest for revenge. Rumple killed his love. So by all means, Hook could have killed Belle in return, but he didn't. I just really love this about Hook. Unfortunately, Belle no longer remembers Rumple or her fairytale life. She's cursed all over again. Poor Belle, and poor Rumple. But also poor Hook. I still feel for him because he's suffered for so long with the loss of his love and with his lust for revenge. He may be seeking revenge of his own free will, and he can't let go of it, but his anger and hatred for Rumplestiltskin and his hatred even for himself has consumed him. And on top of all that, in this present day storyline alone, Hook is beaten up quite badly by Gold, and then he was hit by a car. Whether or not Hook has a death wish... I think the answer is definitely yes. He really doesn't care what happens to him, so long as he gets his revenge before he dies. And either by hurting Belle or killing Rumple... he's definitely begun. Yikes! And by the way... this ending was a complete shock for me when Hook came out of nowhere as he shot Belle, as was the car appearing too. I didn't see any of it coming at all, and I absolutely love it!!!! As for the close up on the license plate shown on the unknown car in the end... it is only meant to show us the car and driver are from out of town. From Pennsylvania. That is why this episode is titled, The Outsider. You weren't meant to recognize the plate, in case you were wondering if you were meant to. When I first saw this episode, I kept trying to think of all kinds of theories that would explain why we were supposed to recognize this plate, until it finally dawned on me why it was really shown. Although... "The Outsider" is also a parallel reference to Belle in the backstory as well since she was an outsider among the men seeking to kill the Yaoguai, which is also interesting. Next... I love the scenes between the Charmings as they struggle with deciding what they should do about staying in Storybrooke and finding a new place to live, or trying to find a way to return home to the Enchanted Forest because most people still see it as their home. I understand David's and the dwarfs' yearning to return to the Enchanted Forest, as well as Mary Margaret's and Emma's yearning to stay in Storybrooke. I can understand both perspectives. And I really like seeing David and Mary Margaret on opposite sides because it feels very real. It feels like a normal married couple struggling to find the perfect home. In this case... they're not just Snow White and Prince Charming. I also feel so badly for Henry as he grieves for Archie even though he wasn't actually dead. They didn't know that and Henry was so broken. And it really hurt Emma because she couldn't comfort him. But I love that she gives Pongo to him before they discover Archie is alive. It is so great for her because she knew how much Henry loves Archie, and Pongo too. So cute! As for the backstory... I really enjoy Belle's story with meeting Mulan and her saving Phillip from his curse cast on him by Maleficent. I love seeing Belle make new friends outside of those within Storybrooke and it is a testament to her character. It shows how good of a person she really is, as well as how smart she is. Belle isn't a warrior, but she didn't fight this Yaoguai. She saved the man cursed to be one. Plus... Mulan is always good to see too, especially when she fights as the warrior she is. I love that she also actually spoke of her experience with fighting in the Emperor's Army, in China which is a reference to her true story and her Disney movie... Mulan. And I also love that this episode shows her first meeting with Phillip too, which we know of their companionship from this season's premiere... Broken. And in the end of the backstory, it's revealed how the Evil Queen comes to capture and imprison Belle in her tower like we saw her as a prisoner in Queen of Hearts, before Belle can make her way back to Rumplestiltskin. I am happy to have gotten one scene with Regina, and it's nice to see how Belle's imprisonment within the Evil Queen's castle came about. And we also have another brief scene between Belle and Dreamy again, which allows us to understand where within the timeline this episode takes place. And it's sweet seeing Dreamy offer Belle some good advice, like Belle did for him back in season one's episode, Dreamy. Also... the beginning is very sad with everyone having a funeral for Archie, especially the brief moment with Geppetto saying goodbye to his friend. I'm just so glad they didn't drag this storyline out. But later seeing Henry and Archie hug when they see he's alive is so sweet. And now they finally know it was Cora who took him and framed Regina. Yay!!! Back to Hook again... I love the scenes between him and Belle aboard his ship too, just before Gold arrives. I love how Hook reveals the truth to Belle about how Milah really died. And I absolutely love how he talks with her, in such a soft, seductive manner. It's eerie, terrifying, and it just makes me love Hook all that much more. Colin O'Donoghue's acting skill are phenomenal! :) And at last... we finally get the first confrontation between Hook and Gold again, which is brilliant! It's been a long time coming for them both. :) I love how Hook taunts Gold, as he keeps egging Gold on to kill him in order to try to prove to Belle her love was still a monster. This shows that Hook is absolutely no coward and sadly, he doesn't care if he dies so long as he gets his revenge in doing so. He just wants Gold to lose everything. And he almost succeeds, and would have were it not for Belle. Yet Hook still didn't kill Belle in the end like he could have. Hook is just a phenomenal villain for his role throughout this episode, especially in the end when he shoots Belle. It's cruel and inexcusable, but it's the perfect revenge for what Rumplestiltskin did to him and Milah. And Rumplestiltskin has done far more evil too. I understand Belle wanting to protect the good man we know Rumple can be, but she is naïve to think that Rumple isn't still a villain on top of his efforts in trying to be good. And his heart isn't as true as she claimed his was to Hook, nor is Hook completely evil. Overall... I love, love, love this episode!!! It's fabulous! Oh... and Smee's now a rat too. Nice twist. Like always, I look forward to your next reaction. Thank you again, so much! I am continuing to love watching this show with you all over again. So thank you! Until next time...
