The line about Belle coming into her own was a direct quote. Good enough for me. I’m really excited for Belle’s arc this season, and I believe we’ll get some great RumBelle stuff too. I think Belle is going to be a hero.
[adrotate group="5"]This episode sounds great! I like seeing Emma and Regina work as a team after they were such bitter enemies in the first season.
I’m thrilled to pieces! Belle is in a whole bunch of those shots- she’s finally part of the group! Regina and Roland= super cute. Looking forward to that story. I’m also eager to see Storybrooke Zelena and how none of them suspect her. What will Henry think of all this since he doesn’t have his memories…the only one who believed will now be the only one who doesn’t know the truth.
This was a great episode, but it was only the tip of the ice berg. It was just setting the story up so it felt a little slow because most of what I’m eager to see is yet to come. . I also went into this episode WAY too spoiled due to all the journalists who had an advanced screening and me having too little patience and will power. I’m so glad this isn’t usually the case, and I’m looking forward to not knowing so much about the coming episodes.
How interesting to see an Emma who has experienced a very different past 10 years. I thought it was clever that her memories included an apartment fire that sent them from Boston to NYC- that answers that question. I wonder if that’s where they believed they were driving from after Storybrooke disappeared. Also interesting to note- in this reality, Henry knows the truth about his birth father. I loved seeing Emma and Henry acting as if they’d always been together. Henry is so perceptive! And Henry- wow is Jared growing up! His voice is starting to change, and he looks nearly as tall as I am!
I’m really relieved that Emma got her memories back so quickly. It was fun for a little while to see her in an alternate reality, but soon, I missed the Emma who knows the truth. The jacket scene- OMG, seeing her don her famous red jacket like her own super hero cape was just awesome- I wanted to cheer! I’m looking forward to the twist of Henry being the one who doesn’t believe or remember this time.
I’m glad Walsh turned out to be a flying monkey. Even before the reveal, something felt off about him. Maybe I just had trouble warming up to a new guy being in Emma’s life while she doesn’t know who she truly is, but I wanted him to go away. (And what is with all the comments about bestiality I’ve been seeing around the Internet? A: He was fully transformed into a human while dating Emma and B: she had no idea he was a flying monkey.)
Hook was quite likeable in this episode- poor guy trying so hard to get Emma’s memories back. I wonder who sent him the message and where the potion came from. I have this crazy theory that Neal is involved somehow. Also, where was Hook that he did not get pulled into this new curse?
In Enchanted Forest of one year ago, I loved seeing the whole gang together. The Charming and Hook BROTP is great- Charming genuinely cares about Hook now, what a switch!
Wow…are Aurora and Phillip really going to snitch? I wonder what their situation with the witch is.
Red appeared in the background! She must have been added in later through post production. There were lots of set photos from that day, and she wasn’t in any of them. In my mind, she was always there, just a little out of the range of the camera. It wouldn’t make sense for her not to be.
Regina and Snow.. OUR castle…I cannot believe it. Are these two finally going to make an effort to be family? After seeing them feud so much, this change is so refreshing. I was thrilled to finally hear Snow point out that she knows how Regina feels- that they are both in the same situation in regards to their children. And Regina listened and put her heart back in- whew! A heartless Regina is a scary concept.
Robin Hood and Regina finally meet. I can’t wait for Regina to notice the lion tattoo. What’s with Snow’s “He’s kinda cute.” remark to Regina? Is she playing matchmaker now?
Poor Neal…he is rightfully quite upset about the whole situation. Let’s hope he has the strength to not take the route his father did. I have this thought in the back of my mind that he may have had something to do with the curse being recast. Perhaps he made a deal with the witch.
I noticed that while Charming and Snow kept reinforcing the idea that Neal would have to let Emma and Henry go, Belle spoke optimistically and insisted he would see them again. Gosh, I adore her. Finally, we got some scenes between the two- something I’ve been waiting for since last season. It was just a tantalizing taste, but I think there’s going to be more. It’s the start of an adventure for them. They’re going to seek Rumple! I’m so excited they believe he’s out there! I really think this half of the season is going to be Belle’s time to shine. I’m so curious what happened to them in that missing year and where they are now that they can’t remember it.
Funny that some of the characters are wearing exactly what they were when the curse hit- Charming right down to the bloody shirt- and some aren’t- Snow was certainly not wearing a cloak, and Belle was trapped in Regina’s tower and in that simple blue shift we saw, not her gold dress and cloak. Then we later saw them all change clothes…was Regina feeling generous about magicking a new wardrobe for everyone? Or did Wonderland’s clothes horse stop by? I wonder if they miss modern clothes.
I understand why Rumple wasn’t in this episode- we can’t get him back that quickly. It would undermined what happened in the winter finale. I missed him though! In the first season, I wasn’t sure what to think of him and kept yelling at the characters to stop making deals with him, but lately, I have discovered I’ve become quite found of him. It was odd to not see him at all.
Now the big mystery- how on earth did Storybrooke come back? Is this Storybrooke any different than before? Does it have magic? Do people still lose their memories if they leave? Why did they only forget the past year and not everything else?
Loved the reunion with Emma and her parents- Emma not knowing if David remembered her and the relief when he did. It tickled me that Snow’s pregnancy is how they knew time had passed. So did they just wake up in Storybrooke one morning with Snow having a swollen belly? That must have been quite a shocker! Well, now Ginny no longer has to try to hide her bump while filming in the present day.
We only got the briefest glimpse of the Wicked Witch of the West, but I’m intrigued. This episode left me wanting so much more. I think the next 10 Sundays are going to be very satisfying and fun.
I got to be more careful! I saw the title of this post before I got to watch the episode- oops!
But so sad! I liked her. Yes, she died because her death caused Will to feel something. Wishes tend to work like that.
Goodness, the characters on Wonderland are really lousy at making wishes- you need to be very careful and very specific when you wish.
Here’s the Youtube one!
You know I ship Swanfire, but drat it all, I can’t help but feel for Hook here!
How is Aurora already visibly pregnant when she just revealed the news about a week ago in the show’s timeline?
So we are going to see a Henry who *doesn’t* believe? That’s going to be a very interesting turn-about!
Here’s the thing though. It’s like not in S1 where Emma was in a very normal looking town and didn’t believe the Curse. Henry is in a town with a man in a pirate outfit, green smoke, flying monkeys, and people who have their memories of who they really are. So unless they are shielding Henry from all that, how does he stay the unbeliever for so long?
Good point! No clue! Guess we’ll have to watch and see. 🙂
I always assumed the book was just a product of the curse! I didn’t even question it until I saw others doing so.
The 2nd half of the season sounds soooo good! I’m very grateful they are going with a lighter tone. Don’t get me wrong- the Neverland arc was great, but it was SO dark and I really missed the town. This half is going to be a lot more fun. Honestly, I think they may recapture some of the lost magic from the first season. So we are going to see a Henry who *doesn’t* believe? That’s going to be a very interesting turn-about!
It also sounds like Belle is absolutely going to have a major storyline coming up! Hooray! Notice they’ve kept Belle’s story significantly under wraps. They didn’t even want to tell us where in the narrative Lumiere fits.
