And it really sucks because the chances that we’ll see the Frozen cast again on Once are pretty slim, I suspect…Disney’s gonna be careful with that property and may not allow the kinds of cameos other characters are getting. They set that up as a pretty final goodbye.
Wait. We didn’t see Kristoph. Which means something could easily have happened to him. I remember thinking during the episode that something happened to him.
You know what I don’t get. During all the seasons, we’ve established that true love’s kiss doesn’t just mean husband/wife, and includes a lot of son/mother (also, nobody ever seems to mean to break the curse while kissing). Robin may not feel true love for Marian any more, but surely Roland does? He could’ve easily saved his mum surely.
And Belle was confused. Rumple only said that someone’s greatest weakness was usually the thing they loved most, but he could’ve easily said “You’re not my weakness, you’re my strength”. I still don’t get why Rumple’s bad, but I’ll be honest, I like it… If they give him a proper reason. I don’t get him at the moment. But in all the seasons, he’s never been a proper bad guy. He’s been in the background, neutral. If he was the main villain like he was in Smash the Mirror, he’d give villains everywhere a run for their money. And I like the idea of him not just working with the “Queens of Darkness”, but creating a whole “army” of darkness. I think if anyone can do that right, it’s Rumple. Bring out everyone’s inner darkness…
Also, does anyone else really hate the sorcerer/author? I think Ursula was right on that. He sounds pretentious. Thinks he’s above everyone else. What if he’s the real bad guy? Maybe that’s Rumple’s motivation? Rumple pretends he’s gone back to the dark side. For the sorcerer, everything’s normal again. Bad guys and good guys are separate again. He lets his guard down. Yeah, yeah, I know, my theory makes no sense, but it’s gotta be something. Surely. I like to think he’s playing the long con anyway.
But I really liked this episode.
