Don't you think I tell myself that everyday loons? I tell myself that it's just one episode, one episode shouldn't ruin it so much. But it's not about one episode, it's the whole arc that they ruined. You haven't even seen from episode 6 onwards, so you basically have no idea about this whole arc because it begins from episode 8 and it has been build up so much. And they led us to believe that finally Emma would fight for him, you know, the way he fights for her, but NOTHING. Hell forget fighting, they didn't even show her reaction to this whole situation, because sending Elsa back was more important to her than her boyfriend almost dying or not being himself and showing clear signs of that.
Ask yourself loons, if your best friend had to go somewhere and your true love was so out of himself that he was shaking while holding your hand, what would your first priority be? And once you find out that his heart almost go crushed, would you not be mad at him for hiding all this from you? Would you at least not want to know what exactly happened and how all these happened? Would you not want to be there for him? If your true love had a heart-attack and your friend (who sort of hates you) broke up with someone (and your true love literally has no one besides you while that "friend" has many people who care for her), who would you want to be there for? True love or that so-called friend?
In this episode, Emma was not at all there for Killian. I thought that Adam/Eddy cared about them and their story, that our visions for Captain Swan matched, seeing how beautiful season 3 was, but I am not so sure anymore. And it hurts. It's worst than what I was feeling for AY during season 2. Atleast Ashi cared for Yuvi and was there whenever he needed her. Wish I could say the same about Emma.
I really didn't mind Emma/Regina friendship, and you know that. In fact, I always supported their "friendship". But the way they are writing their friendship and the Emma's character for this friendship, it is starting to bother me. And I love Emma/Elsa's friendship. It was so beautiful but again, the situation called for Emma to be there for Killian, and she was not there. Whenever Emma needed Killian, he was always there for her. And the one time he needed her, she wasn't there...not before nor after. It's pathetic.
It's not about one episode. I wish it was about one episode like 3x19 and the way they all turned up against Killian. But it's not. It's how shallow they made Emma/Killian's relationship and that hurts. And when one journalist asked Adam/Eddy how some people felt that Emma/Killian's moment felt rushed, you know what eddy replied? That they would have loved to do 40 mins of them kissing but we had lot to get it, and mind you, sarcastically. I mean what? They think that's why CS fans are upset? That we didn't get enough of them kissing? I mean I wouldn't mind, but that's not why we are upset. We're upset because they build up such a beautiful arc and there was no resolution to it, and in fact, it enhanced the fact how unbalanced their relationship is.
And we are upset because of the way they are treating Killian's character, like he is some sort of punching bag for all the villains but again, there is no one to stand beside him or mend his wounds. I am tired of their relationship being all about Emma taking and Killian giving. I want a partnership, them being a team...equally...not this...whatever it is. And it's been 2 whole seasons like this. Like what? Their relationship is all about Emma's scars and her walls? What about Killian's? Last season it made sense, because Emma was running and she was avoiding her feelings for him. But they're together now. And HOW IS IT THAT SHE HAD NO REACTION WHEN HE ALMOST DIED AND GOT HIS HEART CRUSHED? Hell she had more reaction when they were not together than she did in this episode.
And if it is the time issue, what a pathetic and poor planning of the season...and again it just comes down to how my faith in Adam/Eddy is no longer there. I try to tell myself that the season isn't over and there are 11 more episodes left, but seeing how they have treated Killian's character and their relationship so far (unequally, with emma giving zero to minimal reciprocity), especially this half of the season when Emma has accepted her feelings for him, I really don't know if anything will change.
And sometimes I do feel like crying and tear up out of frustration because I do love them as much as I love Ashi-Yuvi. I am attached to them as much as them.
