Various and Sundry...
Dec. 8th, 2015 08:31 pm--Mid-season finale of Once was so full of plot holes and Whedon rip offs. I kind of loosely enjoy the shipper angst because that's the way I roll, but I don't pretend that it makes a damn but of sense.
The Whedon rip-off behind the cut.
- So Capt Hook got fatally wounded with Excalibur which for 'reasons' got him infected with the 'Dark One', the source of all evil magic...which is a bit Whedony familiar. It's the sort of thing that happens to Angel a lot.
So Hook went all Angelus by losing his soul (though it was against his will. He told Emma to let him die. She was the one who infected him with the Dark curse). Dark Hook decided to take his revenge on Ruplestilskin byopening the Hellmouth sucking Rumple into hell along with anyone else required to do so which was basically the main cast on the show.
But, unlike Angelus, when he saw his True Love about to die, the inner Killian resurfacedand he signaled her with his eyes And he told her to kill him to send him to hell to save everyone else. Angelus got a touch of 'let's go be heroes' Spike, in that Hook wanted to die a hero. So the magical do-hickey caused Hook to die to save the world...by Buffy Emma stabbing him through the gut.
Then Emma found out Rumple double crossed everyone and invalidated Hooks sacrifice by Rumpslying to Belle like always becoming the Dark One himself...again
So Emma is heading to the Underworld to bring dead Hook back (so next up is the Hercules and Hades crossover)
Elsewhere Regina sent the Wicked Witch back to Oz...but you know that one last, so...
So definitely son Whedon rip-off. But eh. It's a silly show. I accept the silly.
-- So there are Jon Snow posters in Times Square. Sure Jon Snow is dead. Sure he is.
-- Courtney Milan has a new book out today.
Spoilers for Big Bang Theory
Amy and Sheldon are going to have sex during sweeps
-- And I'm still on Edith better get a happy ending in the Downton Christmas special or I am going to be soooo irked.
