I thought Pandora’s box was a fate worse than death! Rumple did not seem to be affected by it at all. He was even in the same pose. What happened to all the world’s evils?
Agreed. I thought it would affect him somehow. And while I loved the whole scene with him and Neal, I expected the box to have done SOMETHING to him, else what exactly was the point of having Pan in there?
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Neal hugging Rumple…best moment ever. Though the ship flying again was beautiful and I loved using the shadow to do it. Brilliant.
Worst part: Another ep with no Belle. Come -on-. What does “regular” mean in this show, anyway? But at least there’s hope for next week. SO MUCH HOPE can’t breathe FINALLY they’ll have a second together this season!
Keeper of Belle's Gold magic, sand dollar, cloaks, purple FTL outfit, spell scroll, library key, copy of Romeo and Juliet, and cry-muffling pillow, Rumple's doll, overcoat, and strength, and The Timeline. My spreadsheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6r8CySCCWd9R0RUNm4xR3RhMEU/view?usp=sharing
We’ve known we weren’t going to see a whole lot of Belle in the first half of the season since the season started. That’s not a surprise. They didn’t want to divide the narrative as much as they did last year because they received so many complaints about that, so they didn’t do a lot of back and forthing between Neverland and Storybrooke. I miss Belle too, but I get what they wanted to do.
Once they return to Storybrooke, however, I have a hunch that we Belle fans are in for a real treat!
The silly shadow-coconut sail (well we already had a feather one so why not….)
DIDN’T HOOK DESTROY THE PEGASUS SAIL WHEN HIS BROTHER DIED SO NO ONE ELSE COULD GO TO NEVERLAND TO GET THE DREAM SHADE.
.
.Yes, he destroyed it which is why they had to find another way to fly.
My point was that ripping feathers off a Pegasus, is no more silly than a shadow -sail so in for a penny in for a pound of suspension of disbelief. Both looked cool so that is what I mean why not.

It was not a fate worse than death, but rather a fate that did not involve death, so that Rumple would not have to die as for some unexplained reason neither can die while the other lives shades of Harry Potter. I think it may be that the Dark One powers come from NL.

LIKES:
-I…actually liked Regina. I never thought I’d say this, but…*swallow* I liked Regina this episode. I have consistently been annoyed with her character since the moment she became sappy, and even moreso when they revealed why she was evil. But, this episode, I loved her scenes with Baby Henry. They were touching and I honestly began to like her.
-Nealfire FINALLY forgives Rumpel. I know that Bae’s been through a lot, but I’ve been waiting for the day that he would finally acknowledge that his father has been looking for him all this time.
-The happy-ish ending. Everyone seems to be putting their grudges behind them, and I’m glad. Rumpel was forgiven by his son, Regina got some adorable scenes with Henry without the Charmings around, and David and Snow can go on not abandoning their daughter again. Everyone’s got good feelings. Heck, even Rumpel complimented Regina’s parenting, and you know it takes a lot for him to say nice things and mean them. The struggle between the group over the same things was becoming agitating, so I’m glad that (at least for now) it’s over.
-Sir Gold of the Kingdom of Snark and His Royal Highness Sassystiltskin paid a visit. I love Rumpel, but I miss the old him…both of them. I was so happy to see Mr. Gold, in all his glory, shooting Regina’s dreams to shreds without even knowing it, right after seeing a leather-bound Rumpel in a cage singing taunts at Regina in a nasally, high pitched voice…It was so great.
-Henry got swapped. I like this for some reason.
-Felix was nice this episode…
-Malcolm Pan, not giving a flying f***. Malcolm Pan reached new heights of bad this episode. He decides if he can’t have Henry, he’ll just kill him. But he apologizes for “letting it come to this” rather believably. But when murder goes south, he just has his grandson locked up forever. Also, I can’t tell for most of the episode whether he’s being a jerk, or oddly sentimental in his twisted way. He says he doen’t regret abandoning his son…which is terrible. But then a little mood shift happen’s and Pan is slightly fatherly.Locking Rumpel in a box is bad, but then Pan’s all “I’ll never have to worry about my child again.” I mean…Does Malcolm really think that keeping his son in a box is a good way to keep him around without having to lose his child form?
I can just imagine: “Oh son! I’m gonna make you your favorite breakfast and slide it right through the magical opening. Aww, don’t sit there in total silence, Rumpel. Be happy! Daddy’s got you now, all snug in your box. He’s gonna keep you in his pocket for all eternity! Oh yes, he will. Yes he will…”
…I’m so sorry for that…
DISLIKES:
-Hook. He is currently the only person to not let this love triangle die. Just let it go, Hook. Let it go…
-Snow. For someone who is such a “spokesman” for love and goodness, she is annoyingly inconsiderate. She just threw around the fact that she was abandoning her child AGAIN as if that was nothing. I mean, come on. Are you serious? You’re going to, without a moment’s hesitation tell your adult child that you orphaned who has trust issues and a criminal past that you are just letting her go!? Then, you proceed to just blurt it out every time you get the chance like it wouldn’t hurt her feelings and she should just accept it.
Yeah, mind you, this is AFTER Snow has already revealed that she wants to have another baby, even though she hasn’t even rekindled a relationship with the daughter that she lost!

I dunno, I reckon being trapped in a box for eternity would be a fate worse than death. Especially if the only one in there to keep you company was an infuriatingly cheery spirit of hope, assuming the Onciverse Pandora’s Box still has hope in there like the myth suggests.
Least favorite:
Preface – I’m a real-life mother. So, I’ve just gone through all kinds of hell saving my son’s life and rescuing him from Neverland, I bed him down in a cabin on a flying ship, I know we aren’t back home yet…. and I go off and leave him alone in the cabin? Double-you-tee-eff?
Close second:
So I’m an 11-year-old boy, just rescued by my Moms and rest of my family from an evil Pan, when he suddenly appears inside my ship cabin… and I don’t yell, scream, or even move a muscle to try to get away? Just sit there and let him talk and try to take my heart again? I don’t even yell when he’s trying to yank out my shadow?
Really, writers?
This is sort of another episode that I don’t personally love, and a lot of has to do with how the adoption agency was portrayed.
The adoption agency seemed to be incredible dumb–they never heard of Storybrooke, and they don’t find that at all to be the least bit suspicious. Regina stated that she was the mayor, and they don’t bother to look that up to make sure.
Two young men, who look barely old enough to adopt (maybe college age at the most) want too adopt a baby, and they are okay with this. I know this is a fictional show and some things have to be conveniently changed for the sake of the plot, but this was just ridiculous.
And then Regina’s redemption arc–it felt like they went one step forward, before taking a drastic step back. Her saying that she has no regrets of what she did felt disturbing.
Stuff I loved–
Lana Parrilla’s acting was great, even with the script. I loved JMO’s scene with the Lost Boy’s, even if some of the kids sided with them a bit too quickly. I liked Bae and Rumple bonding–this relationship was sadly downplayed in season 2, so I’m glad the writers finally started bringing it back up. And the scene with Emma and her dad was great. Other than that, it was an okay episode for me.
