Eva Green was much better in that movie than Johnny Depp, which might have been why he nixed ever wanting to act opposite a strong female character ever again. Also, eeeeeeeewwwwww.

It was a joke, love.

If I recall correctly, he did but never used it. He gave it to Penelope Cruz's character so she wouldn't die or something, I only saw it once and haven't had the stomach to try again so I could be wrong.

Who has the men manipulate her into every position of power too. Elizabeth Swann is actually pretty passive in that third movie, and all the men design her success around her.

Around 20 years older than he was in the first film at least. Fifties?

And I thought the first one was the only one where she was any good. She was insufferable with her shouty and bossy stuff in the rest.

So we're all going to assume that Carina is Jack Sparrow or Barbossa's daughter or something? Or if Disney want to feel very progressive from Josh Gad and his one second of gayness, they're both her father!

But the show needs to show us, or at least tell us that. We're not supposed to have to assume these things.

Tiger Lily is definitely the new Blue Fairy(all the information and no helpfulness until the last second) and we will never learn why she stopped being a fairy, why she was in Neverland and how she became a fairy again.

Violet was supposed to be in it, I think, but ended up being a blur behind Henry going to school.

It was also a call back to the first episode of season three where Emma does chin-ups on the Jolly Roger while preparing to save Henry.

I mean, Aladdin did wear a similar one in the cartoon when he's pretending to be the prince. I get that it wasn't great but I do think it was an homage.

Has it been confirmed the Charmings are definitely gone? Last I heard, they were still in talks. Getting rid of Zelena was a big mistake as she finally found her footing this season. And I am happy Robert Carlisle is coming back but I am done with evil Rumple. Please, no more dagger, no more crocodile, no more green…

Baron and Tiffany definitely have to sit in another room at all holiday dinners.

Be careful, we said that about Johnny Depp once upon a time.

To be fair, that kid seems to hate his father as much as the rest of us.

Sure, why not? It literally could not get any worse.

Nothing to do with this story but if you're into watching the peeps from Black Sails, Toby Stephens was just in a great BBC adaptation of And Then There Were None with Charles Dance, Sam Neill, Miranda Richardson, and Aidan Turner. Stephens is fantastic in it.

I was just thinking today after seeing a Pirates ad that this guy really needs to take a year or two out, read some really good tv or miniseries scripts and come back just playing an ordinary American modern-day guy or whatever, with no crazy accents or hats or whimsy and just bloody let his acting do the acting if he…

My weekly scream at the TV for this show was 'You've never needed to cross water to get to the Evil Queen! You don't need Hook!' (who also agreed to go to get to Rumple but then just…didn't.)
