I did not hate this episode which is good because the last few I have. I give it a 8/10
Liked:
David actually had a independent role in the episode. I was actually really impressed that he was able to out maneuver the EQ and get the lamp, of course his wish was beyond naive. David be specific!
I liked the AU world, and I know it does not make sense, but I am going to assume that it is like a dream world so it does not have to make sense. So if we assume this is Emma’s dream world that means Bae was in her dream and Hook was not, I like that.
Loved Rumple and Regina scenes in the dream world, very season 1 feels. Actually I loved all the throw backs to season 1 they were great.
I am not a huge Regina/Robin fan, but I loved seeing him again and I was really happy for Regina she totally deserves love
Dark Fairy is going to be the next big bad
Did Gideon turn EQ into an Agrabah Viper? If so, maybe Gideon is Jafar in disguise
Rumple taking off the cuff, and telling Belle that this is no longer about them but about the safety of their son. That is the Rumple we know and love
Loved that Regina wakes Emma up because she won’t hurt Henry and is willing to die instead of harming him. This is what the show is supposed to be about, Family.
Mixed:
David’s wish, wow dude you can wish for anything and that is what you come up with
Still don’t care about Jasmine and Aladdin but maybe I no longer have to as they poofed away to Agrabah. I wonder if we will see them again
I am confused about Gideon/Morpheus or whoever he is. So are we saying he becomes evil because he was taken to an evil place and sped up his childhood and raised by the dark fairy? Is this what she does with all the children. Did anyone catch that Rumple stated that she was a dark shadow (is she the original shadow of Neverland?)
Disliked:
So is that the end of the EQ? If that is how they end it, I will be very upset. They need to reintegrate her with Regina and Regina needs to accept all parts of herself anything else is a cop out
