Like I said in podcast, I am very conflicted. I thought there was a lot of “down time” and some silly things (like Snow whispering to David and Emma standing RIGHT THERE but not hearing?)
I guess I’ll just tackle some things
LIKED
–Henry with the book. That felt very S1
–Cruella, Cruella, Cruella.
–Mal begging to have mercy. That was rather sweet
–Snow’s forest outfit
–Emma’s new red coat
—Getting some answers–even if I’m not sure how I feel about them
–Pretty much being right that they would make Walt the author
–Pretty much being right that Rumple is going to die.
MIXED
–You can cast a giant sleeping curse over an entire town?
–Photographs show magic with glares?
–Look! Belle! Oh, she’s unconscious. Shock
–Bobby’s acting will always make me yearn for the Rumple I loved.
–Emma’s reaction…both human and pretty cold given that she tells Hook that it doesn’t matter what he did in the past since that’s not how he is now.
DISLIKED
–August and Emma NOT talking about the stuff that really matters!!
–An entire conversation about a lost child and NO Bae mention. Keep trying, writers. I’m not going to forget him, no matter how hard you want me to.
–Rumple being okay with going after Henry
–Rumple’s speech to Belle. I may not recognize the man on my screen anymore, but he was once my favorite character and it hurts to “know” that he’s going to die and that this time around, I don’t care.
–Hook’s random jealousy. Emma can have a friend!
