After three so-so episodes we finally get a good one. The best in YEARS.
That Rumple after six years finally chose his wife over being the a Dark One and they had a multi decade marriage with no deception and trust.
So-So
Poor Adelaide Kane to go from a show with such a we’ll written character to Ivy who seems to be a composite of every mean girl character in high school movies from the last 15 years. It felt like I had heard some of her lines verbatim in other stuff.
The actress who plays Victoria is just now seeming to find her footing acting wise with this character. It felt like Lana gave Regina in early Once episodes a lot more passion under the surface versus Gabrielle who plays Victoria with such a rigid coldness that it’s hard to connect, dislike or even root for her like I did with Regina.
Disliked-sorta
Roni replacing Mary Margaret as the hope speech giver.
