it was an interesting episode. we learned a lot and it set up the next 2-3 episodes very nicely. Because of that I will forgive the little bit of dullness that was hanging around the edges.
The only problem I really have is how naive Emma is and how much Snow and Charming were terrible rulers for a kingdom. BTW, How does Emma dare tell Regina that henry is not her son? Emma gave him up when he was a child, I was all for Emma having contact with her son again and when the truth started to unfold, I did not mind henry being raised by the charming… Emma went too far this time around. Regina is henry’s mother no matter how hard she tries.
The problem with Snow and Charming in FTL is that they are so into themselves and each other, they fail to see the big picture. They miraculously manage to capture the evil queen and decides not to kill her out of moral concerns. good for them. but instead of keeping her jailed… or something… they let her go because now, she can no longer arm the royal couple. FOR REAL? WHAT ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE? what about all of the other life she might have taken? must she not answer for those crimes? That was like a big F-U in the face of all the families of her previous victims…
snow and David totally rock my world in storybrook but in FTL they keep proving to be very inefficient ruler.
