Ever since Captain Guyliner hooked up with Emma, he's been Perfect Boyfriend Man - no personality outside of being whatever Emma needs (someone to make out with, someone to tell her she's awesome, someone she can save, someone to tell her she looks good with the Dark One makeover). Neal was always his own person before being her ex boyfriend or Rumple's long-lost son.
I accepted and grew to like her with hook, but let's be real; they killed him off solely for that purpose. Neal was a better man Hook. He wanted her to be happy, even if it wasn't with him. He was the father of her child and her first love. I shipped them before her and Hook.
I actually like the beginning of this scene too. It just shows more of kind of why Rumple loves magic so much. Without it, he has to rely on others and he's become accustomed to doing things himself.
I loved the look on Emma's face when Neal insisted on going to the bar. Her look of shocked exasperation is hilarious! I'm definitely feeling the Swan-Thief!
Think about it, Nealfire loved Emma and left her so she could return home. He gave her the car and the cash just to help her get there. So when he first saw her, (chasing him in New York), his first reaction must have been that Emma chosed him OVER magic.
Well, he could've stayed with her and basically help her the way August was supposed to in the first place. Like tell her some of the truth, take her to Storybrook on her 28th birthday etc. He just didn't because he didn't want to have to deal with his father and so he left things to chance (because it's not like August can see the future or anything to know how things will play out)
@@justinbuergi9867 That doesn't excuse him for what he did, he didn't have to take her money. Besides he only came to Storybrooke because he was turning back to wood. He was doing it for himself, not for Emma.
I love Rumple too and felt so bad for him when Neal/Bae rejected him. However, I can understand why he would react like that, Bae was essentially left to fend for himself in an unknown place because Rumple broke the deal and chose power over his son. Neal/Bae has had 20+ years to think about it and how he might respond if he saw his Father again. In that moment, he wanted to hurt Rumple as much as he'd been hurt when Rumple let him go. I do hope he can Rumple & rebuild their relationship.
This was such a cool scene. I knew that Neal, because they wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of casting someone for a one off appearance, had to return at one point, but like this, I never expected
@@partyguy101ify In a physical way though. I haven’t re-watched it in a while, but I can say that the first time Emma vs Regina; she TOOK. HER. ON!! And, she was still in her “bad cop” phase… but she is FULL. ON. THRAShing on him.
At 0:44 I was like "Oh my God it's Nael! What the heck is going on? There's no way he's Gold's son." And at 1:37 I was like "Oh... never mind." In my head: * WHATTTT???????????? *
Emma: Hey, I'm the only one allowed to be angry here. Bae: Hey, I got you your son, got you your parents back, got you to break the curse and save god knows how many lives and in exchange you brought The Dark One to my doorstep. I'M angry.
Rushy, “YOU BROUGHT HIM TO ME!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??!!” That line killed me. I was like Neal I don’t think she knew, who you were. You never told her, and I don’t think she knew your name was actually Baelfire Son of The Dark One.
Exactly. Emma was WAY too petty! After learning the whole story, while she still deserved to feel mad, she should've at least understood that the lives of everyone in Storybrooke were on the line and that was the ONLY reason why Neal left her.
Binging this show again (the first few seasons were the best), I always liked her better with Neal, their chemistry just seemed different, more real. Nothing against Hook though, oh and Pinocchio was pretty too, as was the huntsman 😂
I think you're right, just in that small part where she's running through the alley. I read somewhere that Jennifer Morrison did most of that scene without a double.
As the reason why the curse was cast in the first place (why Rumple ensured Regina got her hands on the curse), and as Henry’s father, Baelfire/Neal was the one responsible for the events of the show. He was the core of the story, and the core of so many character arcs (Emma’s, Henry’s, Rumple’s, Belle’s if they’d given her some actual development and let her form a bond with the son of the man she loves). Killing him off was the stupidest decision the writers ever made. It’s in character for him to be willing to sacrifice his life but someone should’ve either stopped him or had the Underworld plot occur to save HIM and not creepy rapist/wife stealer/grandfather-killing Hook who was never good enough for Emma and never should’ve become a main character.
At 2:13 Emma just stands there for a sec looking so confused then madly walks after Neal haha:) from now on I'm going to act like her if anything bad happens to anyone I love;)
Emma knocking Neil down like that was very epic Rumple is like I can't run Ms Swan 🦢 you know he is faster than me alright okay Neil Gold loves you and regrets betraying you okay he misses you alot it hurts him so bad 100%
@@RayRay_28 Then here is all as Emma had said to Henry to 1x09 neal was a young firefighter and emma a young waitress in a restaurant and bar and neal regularly frequented the restaurant and later he asked her to go out with him and she agreed and they went to an amusement park or Neal Tells him about his childhood (like to 3x22) And in a gaming stand, neal wins a dream catcher and emma wins a key ring, And later they make a weekend in a motel and neal offers holiday to emma. (Or she chose Tallahassee) and 1 week later, Neal finds out that Emma is wanted for stealing watches in the city of Phoenix and advises him to go to the police and she agrees to go to the police for love of neal and he decides of retrieve the watches . and a month later (While than Emma is in prison) Neal recovers the watches And meet August And he speaks to him of emma and Neal Decides to go see the chief of fireman And to tell emma that he died saving a family from a fire,And decides to give a letter of love for emma to auguste And give her if she discovers the truth about magic or if the curse is broken,And when emma leaves prison she goes to see the fire chief and suspects that neal is always alive.
As soon as Neal popped up on screen for the first time I just knew it was Baelfire. Since Rumple hadn't found him yet and we didn't have any sighting of him as an adult until Season 2 I just had a feeling it was him. So I wasn't really shocked at all when they figured it out.
Yeah, it had to be a character we had already met, as dropping a completely new character to be Baelfire would have been unsatisifed, and then then we'd have to spend the next few episodes developing his character, which the show didn't have time for. Apparently, Baelfire being Henry's father was planned before the show even began, and they waited to reveal it in Season 2. That is how you really pay off a reveal like that.
I find it really humorous that Rumple cant run..but since he cant run it's part of the reason that his song is gone..cause he knew he'd die in the ogres war so he broke his own leg, hence, the born coward. (And his son left cause he was a coward or got sucked into a portal not left lol)
Neal was like 15-16 in Neverland and stayed there for a good chunk of time, probably until a bit after the curse was enacted cause he was like late twenties when he met Emma who was like 19-20
They are so funny. For a moment, I liked Emma & Hook but now that I see more of her with Neal/Bae..I'm loving it! This Rumbeller is now shipping the Swan-Thief as well!
What if after August came to Neal they made a deal that Neal would stay and on Emma’s 28th birthday they would go on a little ‘vacation’ to storybrooke they find a way to break the curse, Neal dies in some way Emma meets hook and everything would go as it was. Boom one heartbreak less for Emma Swan.

wow that is so True
I mean he did leave her pregnant and afraid in jail
Well he did abandon her and yes we know why but she does not

Him and Hood

I just came back to see Neal. As much as I love Emma with Hook, I really miss Neal.

He has a crippled leg. He can't run
I love when Emma tells Neal that she is the only who is allowed to be angry!!!!
*that awkward moment when you are now currently dating you’re dead boyfriends step-father*
Well Hook and Milah never married and Hook was more of a mentor to Baelfire instead of a father.
that awkward moment when you and your dad have the same step-father.
The awkward moment when your future husband is older than you and your parents by at least 100 years

That’s why Emma and Neal were perfect for each other. Emma never stopped loving Neal. It shows there passion. And they both started yelling.
Epic tackle from Emma. :D

I’ll never forgive OUAT for killing off Neal 💔
me too i loved neal, he was one of my favorite characters
Same I was so sad about that 😭
I can't look at Neal without crying😭
If I recall correctly it was because Michael Raymond-James wanted to leave the show.
Feel the same way about Robin. Never... ever going to be over it.
They must take that trait from Rumple...I love him, but he seems pretty determined too to have his way.
You can keep yelling at me to the bar 😂
Neal was my absolutely favourite. I love him so much. He's perfect to me. I think I stopped watching the show when he died
