In reply to: Who Is Under The Hood?
I think it’ll be Emma’s non-saviour side, but I don’t want it to be. We dealt with Emma’s dark side last season. It was handled very poorly, but it’s done now and I don’t want to revisit it. I do find it intriguing that Regina isn’t in the vision. If she’s not under the hood, my guess is that she’ll appear on the scene as soon as Emma is stabbed and destroy the hooded horror and save Emma. The vision feels like a climax of sorts and it doesn’t make sense for Regina to not be present.

General thoughts: A surprisingly decent episode.
Likes:
– Lana Parilla as the EQ was simply superb. SUPERB.
– Flashback Rumple. Always a pleasure.
– The planting of a few seeds, such as the mystery of David’s father’s death and the untold stories that might cause family fractures. I really am curious to see how these play out.
– The short dialogue between Regina and the EQ after Regina kills the Count. I like how the EQ points out that heroes are supposed to always find a win-win solution. This scene highlights how this isn’t always possible, and how sometimes you have to do undesirable things to save yourself or the people you love. This is a point that needed to be made on the show, perhaps more than once.
Mixed:
– The Hook and Belle scene on board the Jolly Roger. I really liked Hook’s apology. It sounded sincere, and was made all the more so by how he was attempting to help Belle. What I don’t fully agree with was how he said that he needed to forgive himself. Yes, he needs to, but he also needs to get to the point of deserving to be forgiven. I can see he’s trying to change, but IMO, he’s not quite there yet.
Archie — it’s nice to have him back, and great that Emma is going to see him, but there’s something that feels shady about him.
– Yes!! I got that vibe too! Maybe the EQ has his heart?
Dislikes:
– Operation Cobra 2. Give it a rest Henry.
– Belle seeking help from Emma and Hook.
– Emma insulting Granny’s matresses.
– Snow and Charming were wandering around with their weapons for no reason last episode, but were conveniently unarmed when the Count attacked them.
– How the concept of hiding out in TLUS came out of the blue. This just seemed like a plot device. It’s never been mentioned before, and I’m sure there have been previous cases where pressing pause would have been highly desirable.
– Emma. Sorry.
– Agreed. She still has that dead look from S5 and it’s starting to make her scenes feel a bit wooden.

Here is my crackpot theory that tries to put the hood and magic factor into the picture. So it’s Emma’s dark non-savior side that she split off by drinking the serum. That half of Emma decided, whether because she is actually selfish and bad, or because she is still trying to save everyone, but has less ethical qualms about how to go about it, that she needs more power. She therefore stabs Rumple with the dagger and gets his powers (a logical, if depressing demise for Rumple), becoming the new Dark One again, with all the accumulated powers of dark-oneness. But unlike Rumple, who seems to have learned to symbiotically contain the darkness without going all out rampaging evil, Emma’s Evil Ash can’t do that, and becomes something truly monstrous.

I’m still inclined to think it’s EQ. 6×2 established that Regina/EQ is an excellent swordswoman. That is like laying a trail you intend you hike.
True, but the other option is that it’s a red herring because A and E love themselves a big ol’ Tweetable twist. Everything is pointing to the EQ: the swordfighting, the S1 feel, Emma realizing that Regina isn’t in her vision and voicing her concern that it’s the EQ under the hood. Which honestly is a big part of what’s making me believe it’s not the EQ. Why the hood? We know she’s our arc villain (at least one of them) so it’s not to stun the audience. The heroes know she’s in town now too so it wouldn’t be a shock to them either.
And let’s be honest…as much of a diva as the Evil Queen is, she wouldn’t be caught dead in that hooded cloak.

My cookies are also on Emma’s non-savior side. Archie’s therapy session really sets this up: so, whatever she thinks is left if she is not the savior is probably what would get “extracted” from her should she drink the serum. And my guess is that she would drink the serum to try to “save” herself from the savior’s fate.
Yes, exactly

THIS!!!!
–Rumple has a key to the Land of Untold Stories? How? Why? Remember when Rumple couldn’t make portals at all? But I guess he’s been shown to make portals more recently so it fits into recent “we don’t care anymore” canon.
Well…. I guess one could say its just an enchanted object that goes to that particular realm. Like Jeff hat or that looking glass. How did he get it? Probably traded for it I assume. Its probably not much use to him since it only goes to a land he isn’t trying to get to.
Any way:
LIKED:
– EQ’s hair in the flashback and her slightly altered dress. Its the same dress she’s been wearing a lot for some reason, but I can see they made a change to it.
– Count was cool.
– RUMP AND EQ SCENE IN FTL. What was with that? I dont know. But I think I liked it. Kinda. Idk. (also, I don’t think it was supposed to be anything other than slightly creepy. I don’t want a rump Regina ship)
DISLIKED:
– Pretty much was an okay episode.
– Operation cobra 2. They need to give it a rest.
– Emma. Sorry.

I thought the episode was pretty good I would give it a 8 out of 10.
Liked:
Zelena, I believe is being true to her character. She is going to be fighting the urge to be partners with the Evil Queen because she needs to be accepted and loved and when it comes down to it will by loyal to which ever sister is willing to be part of her family. I think at her core she is insecure and lonely.
The fight scene between the Count and Snow and Charming was awesome. It is great to see them actually doing something productive in an episode.
Hook, Yes it is about time to apologize without any sarcasm. I was pleasantly surprised and happy.
Emma continuing to see Dr. Hopper, I think that is mature on her part, and the more we see of Hopper the happier I am.
I loved Regina’s opening speech at the diner to all the untold characters.
While I did not like that Regina killed the Count, I thought it was exciting and a little surprising.
I liked that yet again Rumple is at the center of all the stories, had the key to the land of untold stories.
Yet again, loved the flashback scenes with Regina and Rumple they do make the show.
Disliked:
Regina and Rumple sexual attraction? Never saw it, don’t like it. Almost feels completely WRONG. I have always loved any scene Rumple and Regina have been in because they play off each other so well. It has NEVER had sexual overtones and I would go even further and say that it has always been more of a father/daughter relationship. Why change it now, oh that’s right makes Rumple look even more sleazy than he already is.
Okay I guess I have to accept it, A and E have made Rumple the Big Bad. So not only did Rumple poison an innocent girl he yet again sold out the entire town except Belle. He did not even try and save Henry this time (although, would the Evil Queen hurt Henry?) I will not be surprised if he is the one who ended up killing Charming’s dad. I am actually starting to doubt he can be redeemed. This just breaks my heart because I fell in love with Rumple in season 1 and 2 because he was so completely redeemable. He was a man who was just trying to get back to his son anyway her could. He was morally ambiguous but not altogether evil. They have made a very complex character rather flat and that is just sad.
