Yeah this episode was kind of a mess…
Liked:
-CS, which is extremely weird for me. The shots of them in the firld of flowers were just too beautiful. Kind of like Emma’s hair.
-Hook and Emma finding out about Hennry and Violet. Too sweet!!
-I enjoy Arthur’s level of insanity…
– “those two could outlive a cockroach” Regina’s sass is always on point
-I like that we can now start to piece together Snowing’s betrayel of Emma. It is starting to make sense.
Mixed:
-See I kind of liked the sand as a plot device, but it’s also creepy. Not sure what I thought of the whole Camelot storyline. (I stand by my statement that Camelot is a cult.)
-Merida making Rumple brave. I love the idea of getting to see Rumple fight his cowardness and become a hero. Hopefully A&E will use this to fix the fact that they butchered Rumple’s character development in 4A. I want this plotline to pull on my heart strings. Only I don’t really see how it helps the story or what Emma’s plan is. Totally confused as to why, but so excited to see Rumple struggle with this and actually become his character again.
Disliked:
-THE GAUNTLET. I am so over the existence of this thing. See Belle?? It doesn’t point to someone’s true love it points to their greatest weakness!!! I will never not be mad about the butchering of Rumple’s character last season. Rumple’s greatest weakness is his dagger. Belle should have known that. Sorry, seeing the gauntlet brought up bad memories.
-The whole Snowing thing was weird to me. Just seemed like a weird plan.
-How is Lancelot alive? Can we see that backstory?
-Random connection to young Emma visuon. That was strange.
-What even is this timeline? I am beyond confused as to how it fits in at all.
Overall this episode was messily executed, but some of the overarching plot points are really nice. I have hope for an enjoyable season.
