6 X 07 HEARTLESS – – What were your favorite and least favorite moments

Its not Swan Lake!! Hey! dont steal from the danes 😉 just kidding

Its “The Wild Swans” a fairytale by danish storytelller Hans Christian Andersen.

Writing this without reading the previous comments; apologies if I repeat.

I was blown away by this episode. The editing, directing and most of the writing was tight, and all of the core characters had something to do. There was some great dialogues and character moments, everyone’s acting was great, and I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish. If I had never watched Once before and had just tuned in for this episode, I would have given it 10/10. However, I have seen all the previous episodes, and as a result I am unable to do this due to plot holes, continuity issues and unnecessary plot lines that either create said plot holes or ruin the show in other ways.

-EQ and Gold continuing to get it on. No No No No! I repeat, until this season, there was never any sexual tension between them. And this story line is not necessary anyway. Gold can help EQ because she gets him the shears, and Zelena can give up on EQ because she wants to be good (or some other reason!). Unnecessary plotline that retcons canon in a way that is not believable.

-A true love sapling is needed to cage the queen. So there must be more, then? For example, one made my Cinderella and her Prince? All is not lost then, if we follow the internal logic. Is it because only Snowing’s can cage the queen because she is the enemy of their relationship? If this is so, then this should have been made clear.

-Why didn’t Regina just poof the sapling out of EQ’s hands into somewhere protected by a spell only she or the BF can break? I understand this happened to create drama, but I really can’t stand it when drama is created by intelligent characters reacting too slowly. In fact, I am not sure if the sapling needed to be included at all. There was enough tension without the sapling.

-Let’s grow the sapling out of it’s ashes, seeing as the EQ can materialize out of hers! Both are magical!

6/10 overall.

It bothers me that Blue stayed big for no reason.

There’s, um, more they can show on screen when she’s big than when she’s small. I mean, it’s impolite to talk about a real person’s choice in clothing, and I wouldn’t do that, but anything the show can do with its characters to keep eyes locked on the screen, well, this show has been doing that for a long time.
