1. Hook is still my favorite (I still hope they keep him for a good while), but Neal is growing on me.
2. Not enough of Captain Hook (barely any screen time the last few episodes)
3. The story is breaking my heart, but I still find it hard to feel sorry for Rumple. I did before he killed
Milah, but that event changed how I feel about the character.
4. With how this episode was talked about being so huge, I really felt the “big surprise”, while intriguing, had less of an impact than I would have expected
5. Waaaaay to many commercials (can anything be done about that?). I think we might have gotten 30 minutes of program time, minus advertising.
6. I’m a little disappointed, but still excited about next week’s episode. It looks like Hook is going to actually hurt Rumple, and it looks like it’ll be in New York. If he’s going to hurt him, I’d think Emma’s seeing him do that would probably omit any possibilities for those who hope for a Hook/Emma relationship. If I’m right, I’ll be really disappointed; with that, and if we won’t get to keep looking forward to more of Captain Hook on the show.
7. I hope Neal goes to Storybrooke. Based on spoilers, it looks like he will. Whether his relationship (if there is one) is with Emma or not, I’m looking forward to seeing more of what they’ll do with him. He’s another one who after tonight, I hope we’ll see around for a long time to come. I like him!
