I liked this episode alot. I really like the Frozen characters. I think that they breathe new life into all the other characters. I really liked the Charming Anna backstory. I not entirely sure it fits previous cannon, but it was great to see David become a hero. I like that they are fleshing him out. Josh does a great job as Charming. His father’s alcoholism might further explain why he doesn’t like Hook. I love the way Josh Dallas sword fights. There is a lot of energy and beauty in his movement.
Last week I didn’t like the Captain Swan scenes. This week I liked them. I liked that Hook stated that what they become is up to him and Emma. He really seemed desperate when Emma was dying. I liked how he was trying to dig her out even thought it was impossible. To me that is human. Hook is not afraid of the impossible fight. I just hope he gets to win some of those fights. I liked how they held hands together. I liked how Emma hugged him. The only thing I would change is that I would have had Hook put his coat on her.
I like Grumpy in all his scenes. I like that they went to Snow and let her know she needed to lead. It was her curse.
I liked Bo-Peep. She had a Ma Barker vibe. It was cool. I like that she was a butcher who sold lamb chops.
Everyone including from Jared to Frozen actors did a great job.
Keeper of Hook and Emma's smoldering first kiss, a certain Pirate's sauciness, the Evil Queen's snarkiness, Grumpy's gruffness and a drop of true love to make it all go down smooth.
