I was so sad to see Our Decay go last round. RIP Zades
While it’s not in my top 20, I did enjoy that crazy episode with those crazy kids. I’ll agree about being sorry to see it go quickly.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"To those surprised that ‘Devil’s Due’ is still in I remind you of this exchange…
Rumple: Miss Swan? There’s someone I’d like you to meet. This is Milah, my ex-wife. And Hook’s ex, also. She’s also Baelfire’s mother, of course. Emma knew him as Neal. They had a torrid affair, which resulted in a scandalous teenage pregnancy. In prison.
Emma: Yeah, well…
Milah: So, you’ve been with my former lover… and my son? Is that right?
Emma: Huh.
Rumple: I’m sure we’re gonna laugh ourselves sick about all this one day. I suggest you follow me before this gets even more awkward.…I love the way the writer’s acknowledge the weird creepiness of the Milah/Hook/Baelfire/Emma dynamic here and the way the actors sell it makes me laugh every time. Now can one scene propel an episode into the top ten? Probably not. But it’s still in my top twenty. And I think it’s probably the best season five has to offer. For me at least.

I love the few self-aware moments we get from the writers. And I liked the twist of this episode meaning RumBelle’s baby belonged to Hades. It’s probably my 3rd favorite episode of S5 after “Sisters” and “Souls of the Departed.”
“Devil’s Due” was one probably my third favorite episode–behind “Our Decay
and “Sisters”–and yes that self aware writing moment was hilarious. Overall I quite like S5B, with the exception of some highly questionable episodes (Ruby Slippers and Last Rights)"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"A little over an hour left to vote in Round 4 if you haven’t already done so!!!

– What were the biggest surprises for you? What episode are you most disappointed to see go?
I am surprised and SUPER disappointed to see “The Stable Boy” go already. It gave us so much! – Lana’s amazing performance as young, kind, in love Regina, Bailee Madison’s scarily believable portrayal of young Snow, the introduction of Cora, the jail scene between Regina and Mary Margaret where she grabs her face and tells her she knows she’s innocent of Kathryn’s murder, but that she does deserve this, and of course finally seeing why Regina hated Snow. It’s definitely in my Top 10.
I am glad it is only ten because it would have been hard to pick fifteen of the ones left. It is hard to see An Apple Red as Blood go. I mean the scene with Snow and Regina on the hill by Daniel’s grave where Snow takes a bite of the apple is iconic. Also, the scene with Emma and Henry where Emma says she is leaving and she cries and he eats the apple to get her to stay is like heart wrenching. Those moments are just so completely epic and really get you ready for A Land Without Magic. It is really when everything hits the fan and, in my opinion, is better then the vast majority of the episodes left and better then half of the top ten.
I am thinking that in the next round there are going to be some real losses. I am surprised the finales of Season 2 are still in there as well.

Oh man, it was really hard for me to only pick 10. It’s reminding me how many great episodes there really have been.
t is hard to see An Apple Red as Blood go.
Agreed. It does an incredibly job of setting up the S1 finale.
1×21 – An Apple Red as Blood
NOOOOOOOOOOOO! 🙁
This one is super surprising for me.
3×06 – Ariel
Aw man!
The Round 5 Poll is now Live!!!! It will be open until Wed. 7 PM Central. Things are about to get even tougher! IMPORTANT: VOTE ONLY FOR YOUR TOP 10 FAVORITE EPISODES THIS TIME.
Man this got hard cause a few of mine got knocked out this past round and the ones I can’t vote for now (because we’re down to the top 10) are REALLY hard to say goodbye to. But voted!
