It wasn’t the greatest season half premiere, but it was far better than what I was expecting!
Liked:
Ugly Duckling Flashback! It was nice to see August cross paths with Young Emma.
This Robin Hood, we should have gotten this Robin Hood from the start!! Sassy, strong, witty, independent, and his own character!!! Clearly Sean Maguire is having a ball playing this revamped version of his character, who even though I know will leave somehow, but I will enjoy him till then!
Gideon, his storyline, I’m a little iffy about. However, I’m still very much interested in his character, and how his relationship with his parents evolves. I definetly need more Rumbelle Family scenes this half season!
Consider all of my feels shot because OutlawQueen has momentarily been resurrected! And what’s even better is, this Robin Hood is on Regina’s level…he’s not holding her purse anymore, he’s taking action! The Tavern and dungeon scene….yeah, I teared up a bit! Robin and Regina have met four different times, and each time, Robin was never once scared or wary of the Evil Queen; he sees under her mask and treats her as a human being, rather than a monster. And he gave her the feather and the hug in their last scene…okay, I’m done! OTP!
Wish Realm Hook, that was very entertaining! Colin clearly enjoyed himself!!!
I missed Imp Rumple so much! “I have to hurt somebody, and you seem like the best candidate!”
“We make our own fate!” Well hello, Season 1 Emma Swan!!!
Mixed:
Killing the Savior to become a Savior…I don’t think that’s how it works. Why couldn’t they have given a better reason for Gideon’s need to kill Emma.
Someone please place a protection spell on the Clock Tower, I know whoever fixes it, is sick of it always getting broken.
Disliked:
Once again…the “heroes” are threatening someone else’s child. As if kidnapping and sending to another realm, Maleficent’s infant daughter wasn’t enough, but now David is outright threatening to murder Belle’s son, whom she just gave birth to yesterday. Like I understand his daughter’s life is on the line, but David, you could think of different solutions instead of automatically jumping to killing Rumple and Belle’s only son.
Regina Mills, one of the most powerful sorceresses in all the realms, allowed herself and her soul mate to be locked up in a cage by guards, and imprisoned by Rumplestilskin? Okay, then!
