2021-04-23 11:49:39 +0000 UTCHe feels after his Vengeance, he won't be able to go on. Or have a good enough reason to. He had already lost faith & hope. As a Pirate Captain, for Centuries, & after he met Rumple, losing more then he bargained for, his pure Vengeance bore a new Death wish, no matter how punishing. & only lead him to the Eville Queen Regina, after trying to dispatch poor Belle, in the Castle Dungeon. & In seeing his blood thirst for Vengeance, She tried to Hook, Hook into killing her own mother. The Captivating Captain, interested Queen Regina, & attentive alliance was created between the two. As we soon find out. Getting her latest Villainous Wyld card partner, to jump into the Hatter, Jefferson's hat, & a new portal, directly to the dangerous, & even less trusting of the Realms of Story Wonderland. On a even more treacherous mission, to kill the Queen of Hearts, Queen Regina's own cruel mother, Cora. Her name spoken from the unknown assassin's mouth, then without hesitation, the vain Captain's avarrace, leads his motivations, to as usual, over take his prey, but underestimating this Queen's clever adaption, & her own survival tactics, he is the one who may lose a heart, for his lethal misstep, as this Queen puts the squeeze into him. Captain you should be the wiser. Less drink, would have made him more aware, & attentive, at understanding the true Sorrcoress he was sent to eliminate, his Opposition, was not as easy as Belle could have been, had the Eville Queen not caught him in time. Shouldn't be so petty, or loose sight, to achieve ones, true venomous goal. & he did. Cora adored Hook's ambitious, furvour. She took him on, not as a Partner, as he assumed, but a pretty, shiny new plaything, who would stop at nothing to get what he desired, & felt justly he deserved. ๐โ๏ธ๐๐๐ง๐ป๐โธ๏ธ๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐

2021-04-22 09:36:42 +0000 UTCDoesn't ring๐True. To execute plot, or help move plot along. Rumple also could have gotten the Gun & shott poor Hook?ยฟ So many bad things could have happened. But relieved that Belle lived, Tho now she was really Broken.

2021-04-22 09:24:00 +0000 UTCWhen his dangerous, Rival, Captain Hook, might just aquire said hand gun & blow his Belle away.
Melissa Amato
2021-04-22 09:20:22 +0000 UTCCause this has never worked out for most Characters, in TV History. Especially on Buffy. A gun is a modern weapon why โฐwould Rumple have one, & give it to Belle?
Melissa Amato
2021-04-22 09:08:35 +0000 UTCMaybe his story would have gone different, Hook is immortal
Melissa Amato
2021-04-22 08:47:33 +0000 UTCBesides all that. If Captivatingly Amazing Killian Jones AKA: Colin O'donahue, Had his Character met Milah, in the first place, then he wouldn't become Hook with a Pirate's Vengeance

2021-04-22 08:42:44 +0000 UTCOk, Gold who needed Magiqes, for power. Yet he has a hand gun & gives the pistol to Belle. Who has no idea how to aim or work a gun. & She is so not ready to have a weapon like that, & go up against a sharp shooting Pirate with it. Too much of a risk for Darlin ding a ling Belle. & Rumple should have known that. Also he wack's people with his cane. Perhaps he would have been better off giving her his cane, instead, of a loaded weapon, to kill his enemy with?ยฟ

2021-04-22 08:23:03 +0000 UTCThe Outsider- Yay!!!! What a fabulous episode!!! I love it!! Thank you so much for your reaction for it, Liam! To me... Hook is phenomenal throughout this episode. 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 a part of me is mad at him for hurting Belle. And yet 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 in these circumstances within the rivalry of Hook and Rumplestiltskin, 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. Hook's only mistake was falling in love with a woman who happened to be married to Rumplestiltskin. The two punishments are hardly equal. Now with all that being said... I love that Hook spares Belle's life rather than actually killing her, which he definitely could have done very easily. I was surprised by this honestly, and yet I love it. Especially because to me... I feel like this decision shows that Hook's heart is not as black, and that he is not as evil as Belle has wrongly accused him of being, given that she doesn't know him or all that he's been through in his past to bring Hook to this darkness. 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 is hit by a car. Whether or not Hook has a death wish... I think the answer is definitely yes. He shows in taunting Gold so cruelly, that 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 suddenly comes from out of nowhere and shoots Belle, as is the car appearing too. I didn't see any of it coming at all when I watched it for the first time back when it first aired on TV. 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 aren't meant to recognize the plate. 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 is 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 this and Henry is so broken. And it really hurts 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 knows 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 found a way to save 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 speaks 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 his story throughout this episode shows us how he had been cursed by Maleficent so that he couldn't be with Aurora until his curse is finally broken, thanks to Belle. :) And in the end of the backstory, it is revealed how the Evil Queen comes to capture and imprison Belle in her tower like we saw her as a prisoner in a previous episode... Queen of Hearts, before Belle can make her way back to Rumplestiltskin. I am happy to have gotten one scene with Regina, or rather the Evil Queen, and it's nice to see how Belle's imprisonment within the Evil Queen's castle has come 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. And that he gives her some fairy dust that allows for her to save Phillip, out of gratitude for her helping him before. Also... the beginning is very sad with everyone having a funeral for Archie, especially the brief moment with Geppetto saying goodbye to his friend, as well as seeing Pongo there as he is sadly whimpering from the loss of 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 skills are phenomenal! In this episode and in every other he's in as well. :) 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 naรฏve to think that Rumple isn't still a villain on top of his efforts in trying to be good. And his heart definitely isn't as true as she claims it to be to Hook, nor is Hook completely evil like she claims him to be either. And I know Rumple is trying to be a better man, but he's definitely not there yet. Far from it. 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, Liam! I am continuing to love watching this show with you all over again. And I am so, so happy that you are continuing to love this show with every episode. So thank you very much for all of your fun and insightful reactions! Until next time, my friend... Stay healthy, and be happy! :) Sincerely, Heidi
