Not much to say except for I really didn’t like this episode, nothing positive about it, no actual plot, just connecting loose ends here and there… and now 3 weeks of waiting!
[adrotate group="5"]January 21, 2013 at 2:31 am #169305elleParticipantI liked the episode for the differnet arcs that were explored, and I like that we finally got more exploration on Dr. Whale’s story. 🙂
I’m gonna get hate for this, but I hated Rumpelstiltskin in this episode. Normally I’m okay with him or I feel sorry for him or even love him, but this episode just really showed him to be horrible. Threatening to kill a family (including an 11 year old boy who doesn’t even know what happened, especially since he was supposed to like children in the first place) it just really distubred me.
I get that it might have just been a threat, but it still was disturbing, and quite frankly horrible to say that to the whole family, who hasn’t really done anything to him.
I felt really bad for Regina–I kept trying to root for her to turn her mother away.

I agree! I know that Rumple has easily killed people in the past, but by threatening the whole family especially in front of Henry was quite horrible
January 21, 2013 at 2:38 am #169309evilqueenParticipantI didn’t like Rumple at all, in fact he felt so pushy with Belle I was glad she broke the cup.
As for threatening the whole family – well he just burned the last bridge behind him. If he ever needs help again, he won’t get it.I don’t even want to comment on Regina. I understand she is broken but heck, she gets so easily manipulated, it’s just getting silly.
January 21, 2013 at 2:44 am #169312dub1026ParticipantRumple was mean, Regina was predictable, Whale was complicated, and Snow and Charming are starting to annoy me, and are going to smother Emma.
I think they have made everyone TOO vulnerable for their own good. Everyone needs to man up, and quit being so… helpless.
January 21, 2013 at 2:49 am #169313midnight drearyParticipantI hated the writing in this episode. Dr. Whale was suicidal, Regina was weak and predictable, Rumpel was making threats, Belle couldn’t remember who she was. And Cora…ugh…Cora. I have no words for that woman.
January 21, 2013 at 2:52 am #169315sarah_tnParticipantNot enough Captain Hook. I wanted more! Tired of Frankenstein. They must have something planned for all of that though. Cora is really evil! Loved Greg’s cell phone ringer! Thoughts on Rumple: “typical”. Thoughts on Belle: “Meh”.
3 weeks….. 😡 🙁 😥
January 21, 2013 at 2:57 am #169318nonnieParticipantI do not think the writer’s were going for this type of reaction…
I did not like that such a large number of them could think of killing the man GREG. I do not care if he was an outsider to even THINK some of the things they said about killing the man shows them as weak and helpless. If they have magic give him a “forgetting spell.” Make Gold / Regina put a barrier that will keep unexpected people out…
And who the HECK delivers groceries and goods to this town?? When will that question be answered??

.January 21, 2013 at 3:03 am #169321craxyfoxParticipantThe only explanation I have for this show being weak is.. nope nothing 🙁
And yes there could easily be a memory loss spell that makes Greg forget what he saw, Rumple was just so snappy and meanJanuary 21, 2013 at 3:09 am #169322a chipped cupParticipantI can’t believe Jane spenson wrote this…
