My least favorite was that Regina doesn’t have one thing to say about Neal/Bae. 😯 I know, it was supposed to be an action sequence. But as others pointed out on another thread, how silly for these guys with swords to be fighting magic wielding witches…and whatever happened to “magic is different/unpredictable?” A lot to fit in to a scene, but I felt like I had to do some major mental gap filler to make sense of it.
& I agree that a Neal & Hook swordfight would be awesome–lot better than watching someone throw a knife at Regina only to see her puff into smoke before it hits her.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
