So… there’s only about a billion fascinating elements in this, starting with was that a fucking ring turning into the O? Everything right now is screaming “series endgame” at me.
We went from begging, even being desperate for a ‘Captain Swan” photoshoot – for years – to having not 1, not 2, but 6 portraits of Colin and Jennifer together (and if the BTS footage of EW is to be believed, there’s more coming).
there’s a difference between being lowkey annoyed (which I am) and worried (which I’m not). cs is confirmed true love, he died three times and came back from the dead because the gods themselves understood that he belongs with her. making things rocky is just what TPTB think makes good television, and I’m always a slut for angst that a couple has to overcome together, which is exactly what jen said they’re gonna do.
no, why I’m lowkey annoyed is the repetitiveness of the narrative making killian pay for literally all of his sins, explicitly or indirectly (literally the man was tortured in hell, that should have been enough punishment), while it always ends up forgiving regina + rumple for their crimes. but whatever. the point is, cs is pure and as long as colin and jen have a say, it cannot be destroyed.
You’re the anchor of the show, everything runs through you. You’re like the point guard of the show, it’s fantastic. And that speaks volumes to the level of actress that you are, that you can hold that show together- all those disparate actors and characters…and all those fantasy elements and wild story lines.
