Really enjoyed this ep. I give it an 8/10. Minus a point each for not including Belle in the adventure and for it not being to save Neal instead of Hook as even Emma said it should have been.
Favorites:
–Rumple as Underworld Tour Guide
–Neal’s entire scene (though one glaring flaw for me, see least faves)
–Henry Sr.’s trip to Wonderland, should be fun to timeline and fills in a blank I’ve wondered about since S1
–Henry meeting Henry Sr. I’d put it in the top most beautiful scenes in the series.
–The Chipped Cup and the doll in the shop
–Blind Witch running Granny’s. She was fun. I’d like to see more of her.
–Pan being very Pan.
–Hades. Ally McBeal flashbacks but dang he’s perfect for the part.
–The very very very very very brief Rumbelle moment. At least there was a kiss. And at least Rumple TOLD Belle where he was going.
–Underworld Storybrooke. I wanted to see more of it.
–The clock ticks. To 8:15. Feels.
Least Favorite:
–Neal not getting a chance to talk to Henry. And also insisting that his business is finished when that’s so not what was shown.
–Belle not even asking to come along this time, let alone be invited. There must have been more to that conversation; I’d have liked to have seen it.
–Belle’s screentime inching towards an average of 0.1 second per ep.
–Hades’ hair. It could be a cool effect and it’s obvious why they wanted to do it, but…yeah, it’s not quite working as is.
