INTO THE DEEP— FAVORITE & LEAST FAVORITE MOMENTS —

[warhorse78]

Favorite moment- Snow getting the upper hand with Mulan.

Least favorite moment. Didn’t care much for the zombies. They seemed to be geared up to be the big plot point in the commercials, and I was left not impressed, and liking the whole sleeping curse plot much more.

Yeah…the zombies didn’t even last that long. It feels like there were only 8 or so that fought – and, honestly, I’m amazed they overpowered Aurora even. Guess they can now say they’ve done a zombie title sequence. 😆

I didn’t like the zombie scene at all, I really think it was awkward, blah blah blah…
But the the last scene of the episode, when Cora talks through Aurora heart – I sort of got it. I think the whole point of the zombie charade was to show what can be done if you control one’s heart, even if the body is dead – truly powerful things.

Yeah, and he used Princess Aurora, took her heart and gave it to Cora, who is a cold-hearted woman, willing to kill anyone in her way. He is not loyal to anyone but himself. He only cares for his revenge against Rumpelstiltskin–which is fine, but look at the extremes he is willing to go through. Reminds me almost of Regina–they are both truly different, of course. But Regina went to many extremes for her revenge, just as Captain Hook is doing now.

I mean he’s suppose to be a villain so I mean doing something evil was kind of necessary and in a way almost expected. Really he still saved Aurora but in a way that he could also save himself this episode really made me like Hook as a villain more because it shows how he can manipulate those magical villains who may be more powerful than him even if what he did punched a couple holes in my CaptainSwan ship. I’m really happy though overall with the way things are going I’m holding out hope that Hooks does something to come through for Emma when it counts.

Eh it was put in to show Emma, Snow and Mulan kick a little zombie butt! Looking at it like that it was fun for me 😀

Might be the only one, who liked the scenes between Hook and Cora, particular the one at the beginning. Two cunning minds up to no good but their own good, eye to eye. Those two are in some ways equals, Hook might not know as much magic, but he is as cunning and as arrogant as Cora. Don’t get fooled by sexy eyes and some pirate charm.

other favorite scene
Granny – fearless 😎

least favorite moments:
the zombies – uhm, okay, sure seen better one, and that was not a question of make-up, but at least thanks to them got to see some more asskicking Mulan, Snow and Emma. Did Snow take some archery lessons with Legolas btw?

It had to be the needle of a spinning wheel, aka “the traditional way”? And the apple was the big FTL innovation 😆 But come on, as a comical moment maybe okay, but why do it so complicate? Slowed down story telling, took away suspense.

I agree, and actually I’m really happy right now because ever since The Crocodile, this is the first time that I have enjoyed Hook as a character. He was becoming too dull to me with the show wanting him seem like not such a bad guy and too much of a watered down Jack Sparrow despite the writers and actor saying that’s not what they were going for. Finally, he’s doing something interesting.

Favorite: Story-time with Grandpapa Rumple.., Aurora proving there is a lot more to bravery than being skilled with weapons or being the ‘outdoor-type’, and Rumple and Belle having hamburgers at Granny’s…..AND Granny just being snarky and preparing for an all out Regina/Rumple battle in the diner.

Granny continues to be a badass. I think that it should be a law that the writers of OUaT follow that every episode must have Granny or Grumpy in it being a badass and/or snarky.

Loved the Rumbelle moment too. I have to admit that while I’m glad that Belle stepped back from their relationship since I think it was needed in the long run, I didn’t quite like how that episode went. So it’s nice to see Rumbelle have a nice little moment again and remind me why I enjoyed the pairing in the first place. I feel like this season didn’t quite get there with episodes 1 or 4.

Least: Realizing that Hook took Aurora’s heart and then having it confirmed. Just…wow! As morally gray as I expected this character to be, wouldn’t have guessed him capable of pulling out someone’s heart – wonder how conflicting it was, if he thought about Milha..

As I wrote earlier, this was actually one of my favorite parts, but you make an excellent point, that it is suprising given what happened to Milha that he would do the same even to save himself. I like that he’s finally interesting now, imo, and was shown to actually go to any lengths just to avenge Milha. I really didn’t think much of them right after The Crocodile, but Milha/Hook is right up there now in my canon pairings along with SwanFire, Snowing, and Rumbelle.

You go avenge her, Hook! I just hope that he doesn’t hurt Belle in the process of getting his revenge, but I’m all for him telling Bae that Rumple ripped out her heart and killed her.

I liked their scenes too. I love Hook really being evil instead of him being a bad boy who really isn’t.

yes! 😎

Okay, maybe every now and then a “not a girl, a woman!” punchline by Snow, Emma, Regina or whoever is okay as well (hm, and maybe a “Don’t call me boy, I’m a man!” equality moment in between)

Ooh, just repasting this because I realized he’s a lot like Rumple too now. Of course, Rumple wants to be reunited at Bae at all costs so I do see that as being a more noble cause than revenge, but he destroyed a lot of innocent lives in the process of doing so.

Hook removed Aurora’s heart in order to manipulate her and ultimately get what he’s been waiting for, for hundreds of years. Rumple has acted in a similar manner with Regina and perhaps Cora too, in that he had Jefferson and Dr. Whale manipulate her into thinking that Daniel could be brought back knowing that it was never going to happen and thereby ripping Regina’s heart out figuratively again, to better assure that Regina would turn to the Dark Side so that eventually she would get to the point where she would enact the Curse, so that Rumple would get what he wanted in the end.

Bet he’s done that trick more than once. He’d had to have got in some practice to ensure he could do it right when he does it to Rumple. 😉 Maybe that’s how Hook and Cora met, when he was trying to track down someone who could show him how to do that trick?
