Last year AFTER THE SHOW EPISODE was completed, I always enjoyed coming to the forum to read this thread and see what everyone thought about the show. There were some lively discussions here…
So what ARE your favorite and least favorite moments IN 3×12 “New York City Serenade”
[adrotate group="5"]Favourite
1. OutlawQueen
2. Reunion of the Charming family
3. Emma beats Walsh
Least Favourite
1. The bit by the yellow bug when Emma and Hook are talking some of that was unnecessary – Loved Hook with his hook.
LOVED this episode.
I can’t lie. I didn’t think I would. The spoilers had me doubting that I would even like it.
So get away from me, media, this episode was phenomenal.
I loved:
–Emma and Hook in NYC (I know!!! GASP!!!)–lol, no it was very great and I think it gave BOTH ships something to really talk about.
–Henry. Jared nailed it this episode. Good for him
–Snow and Regina. I cried. I really did.
–Regina and Robin–SASSY!!!
–Belle and Neal. I love them, so very much. OperationGold!
–Walsh is a monkey. Time for the jokes!
–Witty dialogue!
–Snow and Charing and Emma again
Didn’t like
–Not much!
–I really wish Emma had called them mom and dad again.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Favorite Moments:
- Emma beating the heck out of Walsh. AMAZING!
- The Regina/Snow scene. It was emotional and I’m glad the two could connect over something without a threat between the two of them.
- How Regina was accepted. They have ALL finally begun to acknowledge each other as family, which I think is amazing.
Least Favorite:
- None!
Questions:
- Did Walsh die? I mean, he just poofed into white smoke.
- Why does the Witch need revenge against Regina? Or is it Cora…?
Keeper of Thor’s Hammer, Will Scarlet’s Genie Bottle, Emma’s Gun, Emma and Henry’s Moment at the Castle, Cora, and the infamous Family Tree!

Dislikes
Can’t think of any…except for Welsh or what’s his face but he was a monkey anyway so yay!
liked:
the parallels to the pilot, like a riding guy opening the episode (though this time Philip, but again quite a classic location establishing shot), the same music when we first meet Emma, walking into another restaurant, meeting a date, Emma telling Hook in the restaurant nearly what she told Henry in the car on the way to Storybrooke, and then in the end, when they arrive in Storybrooke, quite the same shots. And sure more details for fans to discover.
Hook. Nuff said 😉
questions (besides of course, what’s WW’s thing and how did they get back to Storybrooke):
How is it, that Neal’s apartment still exists including Henry’s camera and the photos? Just doesn’t make sense to me. Nothing big, they needed a loophole, okay, but still, a bit too convenient and in need of a good explanation. No, magic is not enough as reason, that would answer only the how not the why or who/what.
Guess whoever send the message, send the potion to unblock Emma’s memory with it. But who did it? The last time someone needed to get back memory, it was the Blue Fairy making the potion (was it based on what Rumple brewed? Don’t remember that). Just saying. Unfortunately lost a bit of trust thanks to the typewriter disappointment, that we will get a satisfying answer to it.
not that much impressed:
The Wicked Witch. Right, we only saw her for maybe a minute, but the Evil Queen made much more of an impression on me the first time we met her. The similarities to the Evil Queen are intentional, but I am not thrilled. Kinda Evil Queen + Cora squared. A reboot, right, sort of.
disliked:
Please, shut him up. Sorry, but Henry is a pain in the neck. What is it these days about making teenage boys so prematurely wise and understanding and kinda compliant but in a way uptight (although Judicorn from The Fosters is at least really cute). Let them play in the mud and have some fun again and be brats in a childish way. Others have complaint about Henry before, and though I had not much of a problem with Henry being a smart alec and meddlesome so far, it felt wrong this time. Is that Regina’s version of a good kid or what? Suffering the Wesley Crusher syndrome.
So Hood shot Walsh, who attacked Regina and Snow. And monkey man later dates Emma. Normally have not much of a problem with fantasy creatures, but this time I find just the mere thought of Emma dating this monkey, even if it’s a magical, fantasy book one, very revolting, not just creepy. I mean, never have a problem with wolves, werewolves, not even with Gus the mouse, but Emma and this monkey, for 8 months even. Yuk. Guess, discovered a limit in my imagination here. Or in other words: wish for once to have just some innocent, fluffy, romantic, rated PG ideas of what dating means. Even as a human he resembled too much of his fantasy alter ego to be any attractive to think of being with Emma, with anyone. On the other hand: kudos for planting probably the most creepy picture I have ever gotten into my head in my life so far. Too bad for Christopher Gorham though, I might never get over it, no matter in what role I am going to see him from now on.
But Emma can now join a club with the Charmed Ones:”We dated a demon”.
¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯
I enjoyed it, but as long as MonkeySwan happened to ensure more jokes…well, it was all I needed.
The monkey was very creepy, and Wicked is going to be an amazing villain. I’d seen LOST and though we had but a moment with her, the actress seemed completely different than her role there so pointy hats off to her. I love when actors can take on completely different personas (probably why RC is so fun to watch in all his incarnations of Rumple!) Let’s hope Monkey Man Gorham can do that for his other show because yeah he really did seem creepy monkey come to life here! I’m going to guess it was just his acting 😛
Beyond that, I loved seeing Phil and Aurora again
the reveal of the missing year being the baby bump (yay)
I liked seeing Henry and Emma play videogames (anyone know which one it was?!)
Their apartment was cool
The Regina/Robin meeting
The Belle/Nealfire/Robin reunion, nice moment
Most of all, the evolution of Snow and Regina, and that talk they had about losing their children.
