Out of a possible 10 points, I am giving this episode a 6.0
It felt about the same as the premiere. It was slow and I felt myself wondering when it would actually end. There was nothing really remarkable until the final few moments.
What I liked
–Elsa and Emma. It’s nice to see Emma have a friend. I hope that continues
–Elizabeth Mitchell appearance at the end. Love her from LOST and I’m actually kind of excited to see what she does here.
–Anna was much better this episode.
What I Didn’t Like
–First and foremost, Bo-Peep was ridiculous. And not in the fun way. She was over the top, wearing a horrible costume, and her entire motivation and plot just felt absurd. She brands people and they are her flock? Okay then.
–Charming’s story about his father. Does EVERYONE have to have at least one horrible parent??? Seriously. It’s getting old. And it felt like they only gave us this story so that we’d never ask about Charming’s father ever again. It came out of nowhere.
–Snow is the mayor now cause CURSE. But…Regina was mayor even after they got their memories back. Does not compute.
–The CGI snow around Elsa is quite annoying.
–And continuing down the OOC path, Regina now only wants to be a parent when it suits her? I’m not an Evil Regal but that just feels VERY outside of Regina. Even when she’s not being a GREAT parent, she still wants to be a parent.
