Oh finally a Belle I like. And it happened to be creepy dark evil Belle. I really loved Belle confrontation with herself (very Jekyll & Hyde!) It just goes to show that Belle does have some deep reservations about herself and Rumple and that she isn’t so naive, but always chooses to see the best in her husband. I did love her guilt trip to Rumple – I won’t keep secrets from you because I know you won’t keep secrets from me. Ha! I do wonder whether that was her passive aggressive way of saying, ‘I know the dagger is fake, you better tell me or there will be a-trouble brewing sonny boy’
Overall I quite liked the episode. Regina is back to snarky and not nasty – I honestly think last week’s episode was a chance for her to vent because she realised that she can’t save Marion, hence all the ‘you’re ruining my life’ rubbish she was spouting at Emma. Now she has vented she’s back to snarky better dressed Regina (it’s all in the clothes). Heehee Captain Guyliner.
So I wasn’t the only one who thought “ooh backstory!” when Hook said he was a kiddie once too. Also I thought it was a bit rough of Emma to say ‘how would you know?” about scars from childhood usually running the deepest. Just because everything currently is about you, Emma, doesn’t mean other people (ie your boyfriend) don’t have issues in their past that perhaps you might like to hear about one day. I note Emma never says she’d like to get to know him better (but perhaps it’s just a matter of time) And we get the 200 year-old thing. Has she forgotten that Neal was only about 10 years younger than Hook? She didn’t care so much about the age gap then. Anway that’s my small gripe for the day.
The Anna not being able to climb the mountain to the Trolls I thought was weird. Why was she able to do it in a wedding dress (4×01) but not in her mountain hiking gear? Did they come at it from a different direction? I don’t know, that was strange to me. Oaken was cute. Oh and I did like Belle’s spiky coat. Did anyone else think it looked like she had raided Wilma Flintstone’s wardrobe?
To Hook’s ‘don’t I know it’ remark about there being many blonds in the world, I thought was just a refernce to his previous womanising days. Charming said he knew of Hook’s reputation in the EF, so there must have been a few blonds in there somewhere. Although most of the time you do see him with brunettes. I did like Emma’s ‘you really just said that, didn’t you?’ reaction to it.
I’m sure there’s more I wanted to write about, I’ll just have to watch it again to refresh my memory.
I am thinking of going on a bit of a spoiler blackout though. I’m enjoying the little surprises I’m getting with each episode, but I think I’ll enjoy them more without spoilers. 🙂
If one is to engage with the primordial forces of darkness, one must expect a little social awkwardness
