Lana Parrilla as the Evil Queen in Season 1, episode 21
Not yet ready to let go of the show for the long winter hiatus?
Get one more OUAT fix by interacting with Lana Parrilla on Twitter. She’ll be at #AskLana at 3:00 p.m. Eastern time.
This is what she wrote on her Twitter feed (@LanaParrilla): “In honour of reaching 200k followers, let’s meet at 3pm Eastern this Sunday for an #AskLana session! It’s a date ;)”
After Emma finds and rescues Henry, which of her two suitors should she choose?
Should it be Neal_Bae, the father of her child, the past (and present?) love of her life, and the man who deserted her, though it wasn’t really his fault? On the plus side, the Emma-Neal pairing, uniting the families of the Charmings and the Dark One, feels like destiny. On the minus side, Neal is boring.
Or should it be the witty, handsome Hook, who turned out to have a respectable background for a pirate? On the plus side, the Emma-Hook pairing sizzles with great chemistry. On the minus side, the pairing would prevent Henry from having the chance to live in a household with both of his parents. Also, Hook is a pirate.
If you like LOST analogies, I think Captain Swan (Hook and Emma) is like Skate (Sawyer and Kate) — each has a bad boy and a former criminal in a match that lights up the screen — while Swanfire (Neal and Emma) is like Jate (Jack and Kate) — a safer, more traditional match that brings out the more domestic sides of the characters while redeeming them from their troubled past.
