3×07 “Dark Hollow” — FAVORITE AND LEAST FAVORITE MOMENT

Favorite:

Belle not being able to eat cause she misses Rumple

Belle enacting the cloaking spell

Rumple communicating to Belle

Belle, Belle, Belle

Belle and Ariel

Emma lighting the candle

Least favorite:

Having to re-watch Rumbelle saying goodbye 🙁

I loved the Belle & Ariel scene in Gold’s shop. I hope they become great friends when Ariel returns and that Belle helps her find Eric.

Things i liked:

1.  The dwarves.  They were awesome.

2.  hook’s speech about winning Emma’s heart honestly and how he believes in her.  I love that about Hook.  He truly sees the best in Emma.  I did not take the choosing line as she needs to make a decision right now.  I took as she was eventually going to choose.  I didn’t have a problem with neal saying that he was going to fight for emma last week.  both men are making their intentions clear.  Having said that I was disappointed in hook’s behaviour. More on that in the dislike portion.

3.  I loved snow’s line about Emma inheriting her father’s tunnel vision.

4.  I have been enjoying the snowing moments.  i liked that David called her snow when she wouldn’t respond to mm.  I think it is good to show loving couples fight.

5. Ariel. I really like Joanna.

things I was ehh about:

1. rumbelle.  I like rumple when he s scheming and flamboyant, not subdued or mooning over Belle.

things I did not like:

1.  Hook and Neal in the lighter scene.  They were both ridiculous.

2.  While hook showed good form in his talk with Emma, he showed bad form. To me hook seemed a little jealous and was too eager to cut in where Neal was involved.  Jealousy does not look good on anyone, even hot pirates.

First off, I liked this episode a lot more than “Good Form” and “Ariel”.

Favourites:

Belle and Rumple- All the RumBelle goodness we got even though they’re in separate lands. It was nice for them to kind of be working together without anything bad happening to either one of them. RumBelle forever!

Ariel- She’s adorable

Pan and Felix- It’s so easy to manipulate Henry.

Neal- I’ve not liked Neal much this season but this episode I could totally support SwanFire. He was respectful of Emma, he treated her like a person, not a prize to be won. I also picked up perhaps a subtle hint of a Tink and Neal ship.

Least Favourites:

Hook- He was a real jerk this episode, assuming that he would win Emma’s heart, always trying to out do Neal. I’ve been wavering between CaptainSwan and SwanFire, Hook’s actions this episode definitely put be on the SwanFire ship. Hook’s not exactly bright on occasions. He thanks Neal for being understanding, Neal asks him what he means, Hook says about Emma, Neal asks him what he means, Neal asks Hook twice what he’s on about, yet Hook thinks Neal knew. Really? It wouldn’t surprise me if Hook deliberately told Neal about the kiss in order to try and assert his dominance over Neal.

Henry- How thick can you get Henry? You doubt Pan yet 2 seconds later you’re eating out of his hand again. You follow Felix, a guy that’s excellent at tracking and it didn’t seem suspicious that he didn’t pick up on being followed at all. He even gave you time to hide behind a tree before he turned around after you stood on a twig. You meet a girl for the first time yet she knows you’re Bae’s son despite it being the first time she ever met you. Alarm bells should be ringing Henry or are you waiting for Pan to hold up a large neon sign saying I’m tricking you Henry.
