Wow, the forums are unusually quiet- even by hiatus standards…. can almost hear the echos of my mouse clicks out there now lol 😉 Seems to show just how much talk revolved around SF out on the main boards- it’s like almost everything has ground to a stand still out there o.O we almost have a ‘ghost forum’ atm *listens to the pin drop* lol 😛
[adrotate group="5"]Ok, so hopefully this will get people chatting a bit more- it’s scary quiet in here!
Whats everyones all time fav episodes so far?
I think I’ve narrowed it down to these 3 for me-
#3 is S01E01 (I never hit the ff button when I watch the pilot- for me this is Once at it’s heart & lets be honest Henry was a very cute little kid back in the day! I love the mystery of the 1st season- I still miss that about the show if I’m honest.)
#2 is S02E01 (This one is simply the superb acting from Ginny, Josh & JMo- LOVED their family reunion scenes- just touching, heart warming & heart breaking all at the same time & Regina’s sass & jacket swish right before she goes to unleash her magic & fails… who doesnt love that bit!)
#1 is S03E21/22 (I have yet to hit the ff button for the ‘movie’, loved it from start to finish the 1st time around & still love it many re-watches later, I love the growth both characters go through & the oh so satisfying ending-we have love, loyalty, loss, comedy/sass/one liners, romance, hope, heartbreak, self awakenings, prices paid, prices yet to be paid, stunning costumes & angst all rolled into one epic fairy tale/ Once adventure. I loved everything about the episode- warts & all, loved the length of this arc (85mins instead of 42:30-ish min), I love the spaces Regina has got to, I love OQ, love where Snowing is heading & love where Henry is at as well- not to mention where Killian & Emma are at 😉 + most of the ‘movie’ was set in EF, which I prefer over SB, so how could I not rank it my no.1 episode 😉 ).
I cant really pick a least fav ep off the top of my head, I’d have to do a complete rewatch for that & note which episodes I ff the most lol. I do tend to FF Rumple’s arcs & most of Regina’s S2 arcs, along with a fair bit of the late NL stuff (I dont enjoy repetition or watching characters making the same mistakes & choices over & over).
I can pick a least fav scene of the entire series:
Neal calling in the Kraken/squid & then killing it just for it’s ink- gonna be honest, that really disturbed me & really had me thinking (after the whole Roland gate thing), that Neal was going to go ‘dark’ (it would have been right up there with unicorn murder if Regina had crushed the heart of the unicorn instead of random women’s). Killing it to protect yourself- ok, fair enough- but he actually called it in just to kill it! 🙁 Killing people is one thing, but doing it to innocent animals- even in fantasy- is another- esp if it’s done like that! But that’s just me- I find abuse of animals & children hard to stomach anytime, with any genre… I was a cry baby watching War Horse & have to fight the tears watching ‘that scene’ in Lion King lol- it’s kind of silly as the 1st million times I watched Lion King as child, I never cried at all! o.O
Neal killed Leggy. Leggy was the name we gave to the squid on the forums, he had his own backstory and everything!
It’s hard for me to pick a favourite episode overall but one of my least favourite episodes of season 3 has got to be Ariel just because Snow White annoyed me so much in it in both present day and flashback.
One of my least favourite arcs of the series has got to be the OutlawQueen development storyline. The idea of Robin and Regina together is fine but it’s the fact that it’s been too easy for them. Regina should’ve been worried that her past might drive Robin away or Robin should’ve at least been wary about Regina at first but then been ok with her when he saw she wasn’t evil anymore. Instead he’s making doey eyes at her from the off when there is absolutely no reason why he would do so other than “pixie dust say they’re meant to be together”. At least with RumBelle, Snowing and CaptainSwan, there was a period of time where they weren’t immediately in love with each other and their love had to grow. With OQ, we’ve basically been told we should accept it rather than shown why we should accept it. I actually disliked Regina in 3B (a shame since she was great in 3A) but the way she was written made it seem like she was better off without her heart and having one was overrated, and that Emma and the whole recasting the dark curse was unnecessary because Regina was able to wield “light magic”. Emma could’ve gone back to New York and it wouldn’t have made a blind bit of difference to defeating Zelena.
Marian has been set up as an obstacle to OQ, however, it’s not just the stereotypical the ex turns up to stick the boot in. Marian still loves Robin, the only reason she and Robin weren’t together was because of Regina killing her. But since OQ has progressed so quickly, it makes Robin look like a douchebag for dropping Regina for Marian and vice versa.
One of my favourite parts of 3B has actually been Hook. I’ve grown to like him as a character.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixOh, how I do love whenever POM says she likes Hook! This is an achievement kids – I remember a time not so long ago when Hook was decidedly NOT on POM’s likey list 🙂 (Actually, I generally agree with your opinions, you always present your opinions well and in a more unbiased way than many…except maybe when it comes to Rumbelle! 😉 )
I have to wait to do my favorites/least favorites. The husband and son are going to Maine for 4 wonderful days and I have the house to myself – and the dogs and the cats – and I have planned a S1-S3 marathon. I CAN’T WAIT! I actually only just got S1 DVD…I always feel a little behind; I admit I was a FAR more casual watcher S1 and S2….until/except when a certain pirate appeared. S3 really got my attention and created the current obsession.
I was watching clips of Once on youtube including the one where Hook and Emma are in the past and Emma has to change her clothes and Hook says “your discomfort is a cross I’m willing to bear” and Emma smiles.
What was interesting about that clip is Hook says “Red Jackets aren’t in vogue until never”.
“In vogue” doesn’t seem like something they would say in the EF so has the modern world started to rub off on Hook? Has Hook been reading Vogue magazine?

Haha, Killian the Fashionista!! I like it!
Haha, Hook practically has his own language with all the smaaaart people words.
Can we start calling him Smarty-Leather-Pants?
