I did really love the episode, but I have to agree with the comment (Surayya? Maybe it was yours?) that I think I would’ve rather been spoiled by the kiss, for more impact.
“Dairy Queen” – I almost died when Emma called the Snow Queen that. I can’t decide how I feel about the Snow Queen yet. I’m not really a huge Elizabeth Mitchell fan, I admit…I did like her in the season or so of Lost I watched that she was in, but I really did not like her character on Revolution so that might be it. I am very curious to see where they go with her, though. And I still am loving the Frozen addition, much more than I thought I would.
I also liked Killian & Elsa’s interaction. I think they’d make good friends even if it weren’t for Emma. I think they played off each other quite well when Elsa said she wasn’t going to sit around the sheriff’s station and Killian’s response was pretty much “well, DUH”. I can see Emma being very protective of both of them, since having a functional romantic relationship AND friendship are both new to her – and the two of them essentially patting her on the head and doing what they feel they must to keep Emma safe and protected.
I never watched OUAT in WL so I don’t really know what to expect from Will – other than what I’ve seen in gifsets! 🙂 but I loooooved him! I still have no clue what he’s doing in SB but I have a feeling I’m going to enjoy his presence.
The promo – SQUEE!!! I agree – I loved Emma’s outfit. It was really is probably her 1st real date – breaking into an amusement park aside – and it’s definitely Killian’s 1st date in this realm – so I love their clothing choices. It’s a great way to visually show that each of them wants to make a good impression on the other, even though they already know so much about the other. And they probably both do feel a little like they’re going back in time, and finally getting to experience the ‘normal’ things they missed out during their teenage years/20s. (or, 300s if you’re the pirate!) The point of course, being that these two people had to grow up so very fast and so very young – the clothes just allow the audience to see all of that without having to spend 20 minutes expressing those feelings verbally.
Ok, time to get the child to bed! Somehow he managed to get me to allow him to stay up an extra 1/2 hour again…!!
