Are we supposed to believe Ella’s guilt about the death of her step-sister is so strong that she would really help her step-mom murder someone just after she learned her father had been murdered by that snake? I don’t think so! Snow White would never have tried to murder an innocent even if it meant bringing Daniel back to life. Snow wouldn’t even take an innocent life to save her own mother from death.
This sums up my issues pretty well I’d say. They’ve set up Henry and Ella to be the next Snow and Charming. Which is fine, I don’t mind that. But it invites us to compare FlashbackElla to FlashbackSnow, and Ella just isn’t stacking up by comparison right now.
Yeah, I wish A&E hadn’t stated such a purposeful parallel between Henderella? and Snowing. They’re completely different and I like that. I think a Snow 2.0 would be boring and they’ve left a lot of room for Ella’s character to grow, which I also like.
[adrotate group="5"]So I didn’t do one for last week because I simply did not like it. It was not very good at all.
However this episode is getting somewhere and the twist ending was fun! To be honest if this was a new series without the other stuff I probably will watch it. Its fun and cute and sometimes I need fun and cute and simple, with just a hint of mystery.
Anyway what I liked about this episode.
1. Lady T actually is starting to come out more, I seem some motivation in her.
2. Adult Henry. I like this guy and wow it hurt to see his reaction to the grave stones. That is a cruel curse.
3. The scene between Lady T and that dark one like witch locked away!
4. Unpopular opinion I do like Ella. I really do. I know there are things I don’t agree with. She is rash and she is impulsive. However as person who had experience with single mothers, especially single mother’s who are impoverish. I have empathy for her, and I feel for her. Its hard when you are hard times and you are desperate. When your children are weaponize against you. I don’t wish that on anybody. Maybe because I have seen that story with mothers who are escaping abusive/controlling relationships however struggle to regain custody of their children.
5. Roni/Regina can we say character growth why yes we can. I enjoyed her speech regarding Ella forgiving herself.
6. that red jacket was so Neal/Emma love Henry wearing it.
7. TIANA and being the Leader of the resistance! SUPER COOL
Mixed: Lucy is adorable but there has to be more with her. She does feel like an “exposition bot” with her Believe, Believe, Believe and lots not forget Believe
Tiana being the leader of the resistance… uh ok I guess that is a back story coming.
Dislike:
Past Ella running to the Lady T by herself and not openly sharing what that coffin thing was. Stop keeping secrets!
Lady T suddenly over powering all these magical beings.
Past Ella running out of the camp without any witness beyond Regina. UH you are a resistance group. WHY are all you SLEEPING. Who is not guarding the camp. Y’all going to die…
Henry you couldn’t sense someone hovering over you, Y’all going to die.
Seriously this would be one dead resistance because they are not doing it right!
Theories:
I think Druzilla killed her sister and Ella thinks she caused it.
I think Lady T did not cast the curse but maybe Druzilla did.
Could Alice be a reincarnated Belle, or will that be to weird. Or Alice is a granddaughter of Rumbelle. I don’t know.
I still think Rapunzel maybe wish Hook daughter. but that confuses me because a wish realm now have wish people that are now real people who came from a wish who never existed before that moment of Emma’s wish coming true. So are we getting into some never ending stories quasi world where the moment a person imagines it or writes that world suddenly exist in another realm. Or we all simply stories of someone else imagination.

I think once the Wish Realm was created it became a real place along with all the characters and anyone else that resulted in an EF without the casting of the curse. I think it’s only possible because the wish was granted by a genie.

I still find it difficult to consider Cinderella a real “heroine” for Henry after she seriously considered murdering him or that that poor innocent guy for that matter. While the heroes of Once have been accused of being boring, I’ve always found it a lot easier to root for the characters who protect innocent life than the ones who destroy it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out that Wish Hook wasn’t originally from the Wish Realm after all. He had already crossed paths with EF2 Lady Tremaine, and he said he had been traveling from realm to realm in search of his daughter.

Hahahahaha! Excellent point.

Well said. And I think Dania is portraying her very well. I really believed her emotions in this episode – she really came into her own.

She’s definitely not a hero yet in the flashbacks, and I don’t feel like they’re portraying her as one yet. We’re seeing her journey to become a hero. But yes, I definitely agree that I want heroes who are honorable and worth rooting for – I’m assuming Ella will get there, hopefully soon.

Interesting theory. Where do you think he could be from then?

He could be from New!EF originally, I suppose.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I liked this episode much better then the first two. I liked the resistance and i liked Lucy a lot more. I liked Regina speaking from experience to Ella.
I think it was hard though to see them building the resistance just because this is what they should have shown with Snow and Charming, at least much more then they did, in Season 2 of the first Ouat. Now, we are trying to care about the resistance of these new characters and we don’t really know any of the players enough to care at this point.
Also, Tiana clearly knows Hook.
It, also, felt idiotic the way Regina was like nice to finally meet you, like Henry and Ella had some sort of relationship when they have had two conversations and met like 24 hours ago. That just did not work and felt silly. At least Snow and Charming spent the day together when they first met and you got to see the kind of people they were and why they might like each other. I am not at all clear why Ella might like Henry at this point, she knows nothing about him, or why Henry would like Ella.
There are a lot of weird assumptions in the writing that need to be explained better.
This was easily the best of the season so far. I’m mildly more intrigued now. And I thought Cinderella was better and Lucy too. Everything just seemed to be better in this episode. And Regina continues to be perfect.
