Reunions!

[oncemusicfan]

I loved ALL of the reunions! I really appreciate that Rumple is truly stepping up and being a better man. Of course, I do like Rumple’s darker side at times because it makes the show interesting and it shows even more what a BRILLIANT actor RC is! Overall though, it is nice to see him genuinely trying to be better for Neal, Belle, and most importantly, himself.

I love Rumbelle and loved their reunion.   I absolutely adore and crush on RC.  However, he just doesn’t know how to kiss.  He planted one on Belle and then his mouth just stayed there.  No movement, nothing.  Just dead mouth on mouth.  RC needs someone willing to step up to the plate and show him how it’s done.  I’m perfectly willing to sacrifice my time and volunteer.  🙂  Seriously though, learn how to neck Rumple!!!

RG, you must look at this:

That moment was so perfect! That and Neal’s group hug with the Darlings, both made me actually applaud and grin like a completely idiot. 😀 <3

[quote=228914]Ariel and Eric’s reunion was the most rushed thing ever. I don’t know, I felt like it was a case where they didn’t have enough time to develop more for their reunion, and just tacked it on to the beginning of this episode. Like, I would have thought that Eric would have asked about why Ariel stood him up, instead of just instantly kissing her without even saying much. I’m glad they at least showed the reunion, rather than having them already reunited offscreen.[/quote]
Agreed. And like, seriously, one moment he's hacking the heads off fish, and then he's suddenly kissing the mermaid. It just seemed rushed and completely un-romantic and like they were checking off a box because they had to show them reunited somehow, but it wasn't gonna be a focus of the ep.

I loved all of them! How can I possibly choose?!? Ok, I’ll eliminate the fake Henry ones but other than that we had:

• Ariel/Eric (I agree it was rushed but their whole relationship has been. LOVED their kiss though so I’ll allow it. Gil was beyond adorable!)
• RUMBELLE! (Finally. I loved the little stop at the thing before going down the ramp and then I don’t think she left his side after that!)
• RumBelle + Neal (adorable! I was surprised because he only knew her as Lacey & I’m not sure why she wasn’t surprised to see that he was alive but it made me happy how welcoming she was and that gif is beyond adorable! Love it when MRJ gets a chance to smile and there were a lot of great ones early on!)
• Darlings! (How long have they been waiting at this point? Probably feels like forever, but loved it! They were in the press release still as glasses & keychain which makes no sense but I loved the adorableness of her hugging your younger but taller brothers with such enthusiasm!)
• DARLINGFIREFAMILY! (I’ve been waiting for this for ages. They didn’t recognize him of course but Wendy seemed so happy & proud to re-introduce them and that hug was just…all the feels! Wish we had gotten something about the fact that she’s wearing his old robe though. Missed moment for sure!)
• Dwarves & everyone (Love how much they cheered for Snow and then gave her/her family lots of hugs. I was kinda bummed they didn’t focus on the Emma/Grumpy hug because Grumpy is super close to Snow – they all are but especially Grumpy – and it was nice to see them together even if it was in the background)
• Snowing (We did technically get one, it was just in a flashback so while it’s not technically one, I’m gonna add it anyway because it was adorable. He had been stone for a very short time and we got a nod to Frederick as well as a reunion kiss before setting off to enjoy the rest of their honeymoon)
• Henry!Pan with everyone! (It was a Robbie Kay hug fest! LOVED every real Henry reunion, they were all adorable. Can we keep him? Can we find a way please? Don’t get me wrong I love Jared too but it was so nice seeing Robbie as one of the good guys and he was fantastic! It may be all we get but I really loved him getting to hug everyone and letting them know he was saved just…not quite back to being normal yet. His hugs looked a lot like Jared’s and I think Ginny commented on loving the hug but that Jared gives her daily hugs like that and it always helps her mood. I swear this cast think they really are their characters and they’re family. In what other cast do you have “big sister” and “Uncle Raph”?)

Not sure if I missed any but there were so many wonderful moments in this episode and it had a lot to deal with reunions. Those scenes at the beginning seemed to go by so fast but they were so emotionally moving! I love 99% of the characters on this show and I was having so many feelings everytime someone hugged (minus fake Henry – which is really sad cause his first hug was Granny and we don’t see them together all that much).
