Episode title

[Slurpeez]

The title “The Cricket Game” makes me think either someone evil is playing games by using Archie or that Archie has gone rogue and is playing mind games since he’s a shrink. A little while back I read an interview with Raphael Sbarge:

“I’m still a part of the main core,” said Sbarge, who is currently working on episodes 10 and 11. “I’m (doing) these two episodes that will put me in the center of the action.” As for the rest of the season? “There are some pretty exciting things about to happen,” he teased. “There are some wonderful, wonderful characters who lie ahead. And the core group is there and will be ready to embrace them once again very soon, for sure. I know that this is again part of a bigger plan to tell a fantastic story.” http://theclicker.today.com/_news/2012/10/26/14699767-once-upon-a-time-actor-exciting-things-are-about-to-happen?lite

I think someone is going to use Archie. I hate to think of Jiminy Cricket playing mind games. Just something about that idea unsettles me.

I hope this episode is about Archie. Ever since he was demoted from his series regular status, I was worried that we wouldn’t see that much of him. But this new episode title has given me a little hope. 😀

They did hint a while back that someone we thought was trustworthy might surprise us, didn’t they? If you can’t trust the conscience, who can you trust? If he does get himself in the middle of some scheme where he’s manipulating people’s minds, I’d guess that he starts out with good intentions, to try and make people see things from an alternate point of view, and it goes wrong.

I’m glad Archie’s getting his own episode too. After “That Still Small Voice” aired, Archie just kind of disappeared. So, it’s good to know that the writers haven’t forgotten about him.

Interesting points, slurpeez and Phee. While I think he’s grown as the role of the conscience this year by stepping in to help out Regina and demanding that Dr. Whale leave his office immediately, he still did some shady things last year that I’m not sure he’s atoned for. He was willing to let Geppetto send out baby Emma without both of her parents just because Geppetto brought up the fact that Jiminy helped kill Geppetto’s parents and helped make Henry look crazy in Emma’s eyes, but later on in the season thought it was okay for Henry to be left in Regina’s care.

So I could definitely see him starting out with good intentions doing something but having it backfire on him. I couldn’t really seeing him go rogue, at least at this point, but I could definitely see him starting something that someone comes along and tries to take advantage of, most likely Cora.

I didn’t watch the sneak peeks for Into the Deep, but I read that apparently Cora does something to Aurora while she’s under, so if that turns out to be true, maybe Archie hypnotizes Regina, and Cora attacks Regina while she’s under hypnosis.

I posted this hair-brained theory of mine elsewhere, but it’s relevant here. What if instead of posing as Snow White, Cora stealthily arrives in SB, kidnaps Archie, poses as the town shrink, and counsels the people of SB to turn against each other, maybe even pushing Regina off the no-magic bandwagon.

I like this Slurpeez. But why would Cora want Regina using magic? If she really is knowledgeable about what’s been going on in EF since she was pushed into the mirror and before the curse, she should know how powerful Regina is with magic. If she teams up with Rumple, it would surely mean the end of Cora. Unless she honestly thinks she can manipulate Regina to her side….
