Hook’s more difficult to explain since he’s been wearing the same outfit since season 2.
For about 300 years.
I joke about this but they are honestly going to make Colin wear that leather until the end of the series.

Perhaps they’ll let him keep it once the series ends.

Keeper of FelixThis was a much stronger episode than the previous one in my opinion.
I loved the Rumbelle moment–they aren’t my all-time favorite couple on the show, but it was nice and sweet and romantic for the two. I loved how happy Belle was to see Rumple again.
I loved the snowing moments–It felt good to see them interact (in the present situation) without too much drama.
I LOVED Daddy Charming–the show seriously needs to do more of this. and more of Charming himself as well.
The flashback parts confused me a bit–I liked them enough, but there wasn’t a strong tie to the present situation. Granted, it was nice to have a Snowing episode where they both just went on a adventure (it reminded me a lot of Snow Falls in that sense) and just got to work together, but not much in the past tied into the present, except Charming’s touching speech about good moments. It was nice, but the lack of mentioning Medusa’s head bugged me. Where is it? What did Snow White and Prince Charming do with it? Did they ever use it?
What a lot bugged me is what Charming said about not worrying about Regina–she had just sworn to destroy their happiness! And he doesn’t think that is serious. Snow had the right idea about trying to do something about it, but then she changes her mind about that. That whole part kinda bugged me as well.
I felt bad for Neal that Emma stood him up, but in all honestly (remembering how he let her go to jail) I don’t feel too bad about that after a while. And the way he kinda…pushed for the date wasn’t enjoyable to watch.
Regina leaving the curse by itself was just dumb–sorry, but why would she leave it in her vault? Her vault has been broken into 3 times (once by Emma and Graham, once by Henry, and once by Dr. Whale)–after a while she should have at least kept the curse close by her. Or destroy it.
Jared Gilmore as Peter Pan was enjoyable–I thought he did a good job. Robbie Kay as Henry was good, but he wasn’t given much to work with. The character Henry is not as…developed perhaps?…as some of the other characters, so he was limited it what he do with the character, though what he did was still good.
It was a good episode overall. It seemed to be a bit scattered at times, I thought. But it all came together pretty well.

Snowing never cut off Medusa’s head. Snow tried but couldn’t then Snow turned Medusa to stone in order to save Charming. Medusa is dead with her head still attached.

Charming thought Regina was just bluffing, and whilst we know she wasn’t, I don’t think Snowing were aware of the curse. All they knew was that Regina couldn’t harm them thanks to Rumple’s spell. Also Charming wasn’t exactly wrong. When Charming was turned to stone and Regina appeared to Snow in the shield, she was positively gleeful that she didn’t have to lift a finger since Snow had just destroyed her own happiness at that point. Regina may not have cast the curse if Charming had remained stone. Also I don’t blame Charming for wanting to enjoy his honeymoon, it was probably the first time in a long while he and Snow weren’t battling someone or being hunted. Charming didn’t want to let Regina’s threat destroy the good moments.

I don’t think Neal did push for the date. He was going to Granny’s for lunch any way and gave Emma the choice to join him with the assurance that if she didn’t show up, he’d “quit bugging” her. I had many issues with Hook this episode and the stuff he did, and if we’re bringing up Neal’s past actions towards Emma, let’s not forget that Hook left Emma in Rumple’s cell to rot with no chance of escape whilst he and Cora planned to jump realms.

Regina couldn’t destroy the curse because otherwise Storybrooke would’ve ceased to exist but I agree she should’ve kept it more secure. Even Rumple kind of called her out on it.

I agree. Henry’s character is really a plot device. A more well written plot device than others, but still a plot device.
Season 1- He was used to bring Emma to Storybrooke, the reason to keep Emma in Storybrooke, then the reason for Emma to believe in and break the curse.
Season 2- He was used for Regina and Emma to fight over him and be kidnapped so everyone could work together to save him. I hated Season 2 Henry because he was an annoying brat in some episodes.
Season 3- Everybody needed to save him. Henry serves to move the plot along.
Henry’s purpose is to be the innocent kid that give the other characters reason to do stuff. That is an extremely limiting role to play.

Good point. Everyone revolves around Henry. But Henry himself is rather static and stationary. He gives the characters something to do and motivates them toward a certain end goal but he himself hasn’t developed a whole lot.
I’m actually hoping this changes in 3B since he’ll have been cursed for a year, not remembering Regina. Plus after the darkness of NL I’m hoping he’s progressed beyond “everything is black and white, good and evil”
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I think 3B has the perfect opportunity to provide some real drama between Henry, Emma and Regina. As far as Henry is aware Emma is his one and only mom. As far as Emma is concerned, she is the one that raised Henry and therefore he’s her son. Regina is going to feel out in the cold. It could provide some real heartbreaking moments for Regina.
Also interestingly, even with the fake memories, Emma can relearn everything she’s learnt so far: Snowing are her parents, Rumple is Neal’s dad and Henry’s grandfather etc. The status quo can almost be restored except for one detail: That Regina is Henry’s mom. Everything could be accepted except that.
I would like to see that scenario play out and it would test the strength of Regina’s redemption. Can she stay good when she’s not got Henry as the incentive?

The thing that bothered me is that they are the king and queen–they have a duty to their people, and Charming wasn’t really taking the threat to his people as seriously as he should. Regina has proven time and time again to be a fearless opponent who easily is capable of killing to get what she wants.
I don’t fault him for wanting to enjoy his time with his wife–he has that right–but to ignore the upcoming threat until it becomes a problem was not really smart at all.
Regina might not have casted the curse if Charming remained stone–that is a possibility, but the fact is, he didn’t remain stone and she once again went along with her plans to enact the curse.
I don’t think Neal did push for the date. He was going to Granny’s for lunch any way and gave Emma the choice to join him with the assurance that if she didn’t show up, he’d “quit bugging” her.

Emma just seemed uncomfortable with Neal asking her out. She’s made it clear to both Hook and Neal that she would always chose Henry first and that she wasn’t too interested in dating at the moment.
I’m not saying to forget what Hook did to Emma–what he did was wrong. But I think the hurt that came with being left by Neal was stronger than with what Hook did–I’m not necessary negating it, but with Neal, his abandonment was stronger (for her) than Hook’s.
In this case with Neal, what he did made her walls go way up and haunted her for 11 years. Adding to fact that he seemed quickly over Tamara and jumps at the chance with Emma…I’m not saying that makes him horrible…it just bugs me a bit.
Henry’s character is really a plot device. A more well written plot device than others, but still a plot device.
I agree. I do like Henry, but he is mostly the cause for conflict in the show. He’s not an actual character–at least not to the degree that the other characters on the show are.
And sorry about the Medusa head cut-off–I hadn’t watched the episode in a while, so I forgot. 🙂
