STRAIGHT ON TIL MORNING / FAVORITE & LEAST FAVORITE MOMENTS

[darkones1fan]

Best parts
Emma calling Snow and Charming mom and Dad and very end were all of Henry’s family plus Hook (who is somewhat part of this family in a strange way, kind off) all together going off to save Henry. Can’t wait for season 3. 😀

My favorite moments:

1. Grumpy giving Gold the potion. Belle’s friends love her too! Also, Grumpy, you are awesome. (and I love how all my ships ship each other.)
2. Belle comforting Gold. Man gets like one hug per century and he NEEDS them. (As a hugger from a non-huggy family…it hurts to go too long without.)
3. The Charmings AND Regina all being family and heroic all at once.
4. Mom? Dad? Didn’t know how much I was waiting for that till it happened.
5. MAP finding Neal, but I wish there had been a tiny bit more of that.
6. Daddy Hook. Awwwwwww.
7. Hook + Charming Broship. I think Rumple may have left Believe or Leave for a new band by the end of the ep. (omg the best broship guy teams working together…sorry, having a fangirl moment here, need a swooning couch)
8. CHIP! Mayor Belle will totally keep Chip close. Yay! And protect the shawl too.

Least:
1. Belle staying behind. *whimper* But if Librarian Mayor Queen Belle happens, or at least Neal + Belle teamwork, it will be okay. Also, the magic scroll gives me some hope for some reason.
2. Rumple almost killing Henry and then learning that Neal’s dead and blaming himself. I mean, it was BRILLIANT but also painful to watch. I still don’t believe he would really have done it–even A&E said in the podcast that even if he had, he’s got the ability to heal and might have changed his mind when the reality hit–I mean, Snow nearly let Regina get executed and stopped it literally at the last possible second–but he was definitely inching towards doing it. I think he was going so slowly because part of him was fighting it hard. Oh, and suspense. But yes, painful.
3. Henry getting kidnapped without a word–it’s a mine–there are echoes. Also, Henry being kidnapped 🙁 But it is impetus for all the good things that could come in S3 so…we’ll roll with it. Poor Henry.

Um. that’s about it. I loved it as a package and it did manage to seal up some of the loose ends that have been flapping around while setting up something to look forward to. Justpleasedon’tforgetBelle.

Oh, other least favorite bit. So, I’m doing the Virginia Renaissance Faire right now, and I knew there was no way I’d be home in time to see the show yesterday live. Travel time, see. I was resigned to not logging onto any of my Oncey sites (I was going to be dead tired anyway) for the evening, and watching as soon as it was up in the morning. My mom’s doing the faire too, so I suggested taking her out to eat after the show at a close restaurant for Mother’s Day. All good and well.

The restaurant’s TVs are on ABC. No sound, no captioning. It was 8:15 before we left. This was a special kind of torture, let me tell you.

It was so sweet when Belle was stroking Rumple’s hair as she comforted him in his shop.

All magic comes with a price!

Fave moment: regina holding back the self destruct. epicness.

least favourite part: no Ruby/Red at all. not one second. seriously?! no wonder the actress booked a pilot

I didn’t like the end, because it was the end until september or october 😥

Favorite parts:

**This was the first episode that i cared about Hook as a character at all. I think they set him up to be a really cool character in the Crocodile but after that we didn’t see much depth to him. The interaction with Bae added so much depth to him.

**I liked Rumple finally taking a stand in regards to the Henry thing. I’m kind of worried though. This epiphany only came right after he found out Bae was dead. I really hope that he doesn’t flip flop again when he finds out that Neal isn’t dead. One session of the both him and Regina doing the moral impression of a fish was enough. They need to pick a side…at least for more than a few episodes at a time.

**Regina finally trying to do something right because it was the right thing and not just because she saw it as a way to get Henry back. See my little mini rant about Rumple above. I just really hope that they keep her on the good side, but don’t let her lose her edge. (if she’s no longer going to be the evil queen, can she be the sassy queen instead? 😎 )

**Belle getting her memories back. “I didn’t want to bring you back to die but i needed you.” Heartbreaking. But i do have a headcannon that the lives just merged so that she still has the Lacy side to explore when Rumple comes back.

**This Episode was the first one in a long time that was able to merge Plot with Character development rather seamlessly. Most of it after Manhattan seemed like they were trying to shove too many plot elements into too small a space at the cost of character moments and it was getting really tiring. Now I have hope that S3 will have learned from these issues.

Least Faveroit:

**The one thing i didn’t like about the episode was the revelation that T&G didn’t know anything about the home office. It just made them look really dumb and I had bigger hopes for them. I think i can see what’s going to happen next. They are going to realize that the Home office is Neverland and their faith is going to be completely shattered, causing them to team up with the good guys. I think it would have been great if he saw a hint or two more about why they (especially Tamara) are so against magic. Greg i get and they wouldn’t have to show much…just one or two more clues.

Oh, she totally still has Lacey in her. I think with her, Belle will be dominant, but maybe she’ll actually call people out on mistreating her when she has a moment–cue telling Regina off for locking her up and screwing with her head and so forth, or Hook for shooting her. (Though, actually, Lacey was a bit cowardly when it came to confrontations, which I think is why she left the hospital before Gold got back, possibly with Regina’s encouragement, and why she left him at the diner. So maybe not.) She’s got to be less than happy about sending Rumple off with Hook and Regina, though, and she barely knows the Charmings.

It was confirmed by A and E in today’s official podcast that Belle will always have some part of Lacey inside her. She is both now.

I can see Belle becoming a bit more of a “Naughty librarian” type person. I think that, instead of trying to handle every situation with brains, she’ll be a bit more likely to straight up punch someone in the face now that she’s both.
