I thought it might be nice to have a ongoing topic so I am planning to post this topic in all of the future episodes. We can post our answers after we see the episode…..
…. I HOPE YOU WILL PLAY ALONG……

.[adrotate group="5"]February 18, 2013 at 2:35 am #173826nonnieParticipantI LOVE ALL of ths show with Gold / Rumple / Seer / Henry / Emma… but I still think Emma needs to kick Neal to the curb for abandoning her…. How does he not see that what he did was the same as what his father Rumple did to him? Abandon him? So many twists and turn.
Least: Greg …. spying on everyone…. Once he is discharged he should not be able to find a room in town.
Why do we have to wait two weeks until the next show???? I never watch the Oscars anyways… Just self grandizement ….Really you should get awards for curing cancer… not just cause you were in a movie.

2. Not enough of Captain Hook (barely any screen time the last few episodes)
3. The story is breaking my heart, but I still find it hard to feel sorry for Rumple. I did before he killed
Milah, but that event changed how I feel about the character.
4. With how this episode was talked about being so huge, I really felt the “big surprise”, while intriguing, had less of an impact than I would have expected
5. Waaaaay to many commercials (can anything be done about that?). I think we might have gotten 30 minutes of program time, minus advertising.
6. I’m a little disappointed, but still excited about next week’s episode. It looks like Hook is going to actually hurt Rumple, and it looks like it’ll be in New York. If he’s going to hurt him, I’d think Emma’s seeing him do that would probably omit any possibilities for those who hope for a Hook/Emma relationship. If I’m right, I’ll be really disappointed; with that, and if we won’t get to keep looking forward to more of Captain Hook on the show.
7. I hope Neal goes to Storybrooke. Based on spoilers, it looks like he will. Whether his relationship (if there is one) is with Emma or not, I’m looking forward to seeing more of what they’ll do with him. He’s another one who after tonight, I hope we’ll see around for a long time to come. I like him!February 18, 2013 at 2:43 am #173834RumplesGirlKeymasterThis was one of the best episodes of the show!!
1) Robert Carlyle, Robert Carlyle, Robert Carlyle. Give the man ALL the awards!! He broke my heart so many times tonight. When he gave himself the limp….my *feels*. I never saw that coming.
2) The conversation between NealFire and Papa. That was done so well.
3) Snow and Charming conversation was so funny!
4)Everything that happened in New YorkLeast favorite
1) I was disappointed by what was in the box. It was the writers laughing at us, but I expected more.
2) I really didn’t want to see anything to do with Greg. I could have done without him."He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"February 18, 2013 at 3:04 am #173842elleParticipantFavorite Moments
First, I think that MRJ and Jennifer Morrison and Robert Carlyle deserve praise. Their scenes were the best in the whole episode. 😀
Emma and Neal having their face-to-face talk. I am a bit upset that Neal is not that guilt-ridden about what he had done to her, but I do like how Emma had a bit of a chance to let out some of her pain and frustration.
Rumpelstiltskin injuring his own leg–I sorta figured he would soon find a way to leave, but it was still heartbreaking to see him have to do the deed.
Snow White and Prince Charming talking about their family–it was cute and funny and it actually eased the tension a bit in the episode.
The whole family reunion–Neal seeing Henry, Henry learning Emma lied, Rumpelstiltskin realizing who Henry really is, Emma having to tell she lied, and Henry hurt by it all.
I really loved Neal telling it straight–his father abandoned him in a world alone, with no one. And what was even worse was that his father still didn’t learn his lesson–he actually talked again about magic (loved how exaserated Neal looked) and how he could turn the clock back until his son is fourteen. Neal was right–his father still didn’t learn his lesson. He was still using magic for everything.

Greg spying. Seriously, why is he so interested? I get that he was freaked out about it, but it just seems forced.
Regina pretending to be nice to Belle and then knocking her out cold and then checking her purse with magic. She really couldn’t bother to use her hands. It was reckless and dumb.
Seeing Regina all happy with her mom. She had been so firm in wanting her mother to not come to Storybrooke. She had worked with Rumpelstiltskin. She knew her mother framed her. She knew her mother wanted her broken, and yet she still works with her.
Also, I didn’t really care so much for Rumpelstiltskin’s flashbacks. Some were good, but some didn’t really add much other than what we already know.

February 18, 2013 at 3:11 am #173847HappyEndingsSpectatorI thought in the preview that Emma lifted the cover of the cage to Seer.
As for Snow and PC, I really didn’t think that was cute maybe because we all knew the blood line thing. I did like Snow’s advice to Emma about protecting Henry or is it Emma.
I was also disappointed that Emma didn’t tell Neil that her family was threaten back home. To be honest this was kind of another let down for me after all that build up stuff.
Yea, how did August know about Belfire that was weird and why didn’t Emma tell Snow about August?
February 18, 2013 at 3:14 am #173849Killian JonesParticipantThe Bae and Rumple conversation was great, I loved when all three of them (Rumple, Bae and Henry) corner Emma into finally saying that Henry is Bae’s son. Rumple’s reaction to finding out Henry’s his grandson! Bae and Henry getting to talk at the end, I don’t see how Bae will allow himself to be separated from Henry he’s gonna go back to Storybrooke. From what Hook said he’s going after Rumple with how things went this episode I wonder what role Bae will play in the Hook and Rumple confrontation.
Just saw the Canadian preview and it seems like Bae is also Peter Pan as some of us have anticipated, now this confrontation between Hook and Rumple just got a whole lot more fun

Rumple and Bae finally meeting and talking. I love both actors and think they nailed it! Very emotional, and no matter how many times Rumple has rehearsed what he would say it was still difficult and filled with desperate, stumbling attempts from him. Neal’s anger and disbelief felt extremely natural.Emma/Neal/Henry/Rumple interaction. Every combination of those characters together in this ep was brilliant. Even the little touches like Neal telling Emma that she could keep yelling at him in the bar, Gold getting suspicious over the dreamcatcher, Neal putting his arm around his son for the first time… just amazing work.
The Seer. So creepy looking, and the prophecy info was great and filled with plenty to speculate on. And Rumple smashing his leg was cringeworthy in the good way.
Snow and David discussing the family tree and sucky Thanksgivings. lol
Least Favorite:
Greg spying with his phone.
The map location being in Belle’s purse.
I’d have liked something a bit more in the box reveal with August, but it worked well enough to get the job done.

August gets his information from BLUE FAIRY…. I do not think she is so good… I think she is sneaky evil.
