I actually enjoyed it. I think it was a great development for Snow White and Emma. 🙂 Both actresses were wonderful together, and Emma acting the way she did with was not at all a surprise–she is resentful and bitter, and she wants to try to show that she does not need anyone and that she can stand up for herself. She is not used to people caring for her.
And I don’t blame Henry for what he did–how many times has Regina done something, manipulated someone for her own purposes. She may be trying to change, but she is not being entirely truthful–she still was not willing to truly help Prince Charming find Emma and Snow White. If she was, she would have told him the whole truth about Jefferson. I honestly don’t think Regina would have helped even if Henry had asked–she kept the keys hidden for a reason.
[adrotate group="5"]She has grown on me a bit in this latest episode. 🙂 I think it is impressive that she was able to track someone(s) twice–in Broken and in this one. She has shown to be very determined, even when people tell her that she cannot do something, she still goes out to make the attempt anyway.
Her hatred of Snow White was a bit misplaced obviously, but she quickly grew to respect her and Emma.
My favorite moments were all the ones with Snow White and Emma, Snow White and Ruth, Prince Charming and Henry, Jefferson and Grace, and the surprised twist with Lancelot. 🙂 Mother and daughter scenes were touching and wonderful, and I really hope to see more. It would be wonderful to see Emma talk more of her past with Snow White, and see the latter comfort her. Snow White’s scenes with Ruth were just as touching–I wonder if she thought of Ruth in this episode. 🙁
Didn’t really have a least favorite moment–would have liked more Jefferson and Pinocchio, though.
Also, didn’t really have a problem with what Henry did to Regina–this is something that she would have done in season 1. She would have done anything to snoop around, including pretending to be friendly.
I loved this episode–I think season 2 will be better simply for the fact that everyone now remembers who they are. 🙂 Remembering opened up so many possibilities. I can’t really think of any complaints.
I don’t think he and Cora would be suited–they are both manipulative and dangerous. And the way he spoke of his wife was with tenderness, not bitterness. He seemed to truly love her–also, the way he described his wife’s poisoning seemed to be accidently, not on purpose.
Fitting all the characters is a bit of a stretch–this is a show that has a list of characters being introduced often, and each of those characters have their own story arc. They may not all be the main characters, but they are just as important.
I agree that it does suck that Emma and Snow White won’t have that much screentime as before, but I am sure the episode will have a good deal of Prince Charming, Henry, and Red Riding Hood. 😀
Also, this show is very much driven by the characters–the characters are one of the most interesting parts of Once Upon A Time. So the writers have to give them all a moment to go through their own history and problems.
As much as it sucks for Emma to not be in the episode, it is going to be that way now that everyone remembers. With all the characters now remembering who they are and where they are from, all of them will be having to get some screen time. All of them are going to be important in the show, so some will have more time than others. 🙂
With Emma holding the knife to Hook’s throat, I’m gonna assume that it will happen in another episode–that promo didn’t really seem to be for a specific episode.
From what I see, she is young, a bit high-classed in the way she holds herself, but truly in love with Philip. She seems to be a bit lost, but that mostly goes down to being asleep for years. Hopefully we’ll get more of her character.
There can’t really be much said about Mulan’s character yet–we’ve only seen her for a bit. But we know that she is strong, a warrior, and very loyal. 😎 She cared deeply for Philip enough to follow him to rescue his True Love, even when she was already in love with him. She was willing to sacrifice her life for Philip and Aurora to have their happiness, even when it meant that her soul would be sucked away by a Wraith.
And after Philip is gone, she seems still willing to look after Aurora, being very protective of her. 🙂 She is wary and not easily trusting, given her treatment of Snow White and Emma. But there is probably much that she went through–she seems very hardened. She sort of reminds me (a little) of Emma in the beginning of the series.
Favorite Moments: The way Prince Charming bargained with Rumpelstiltskin–not telling him anything, not showing him anything, that was just smart. Loved it. 🙂 Every single moment between Henry and Prince Charming–they were cute and wonderful and they both helped each other when needed, and I really hope we see more of them. Regina trying to escape was, trying to gain freedom from her mother, was sad to see. But I hope it is explained why she went back to King Leopold.
Prince Charming’s speech at the end to convince everyone to stay was both funny and kind, and it was a great way for him to own up for his mistakes–don’t think they are a hundred percent his fault, but it was still nice to see. 🙂 And Regina wanting to change was sweet and I want to believe her, but I just feel as though it will not end well. Jefferson–he only had one scene but it was enough! 😀
Least Favorite Moments: This are not really moments, but I was disappointed that Pinocchio/August only had a one scene in the episode. I sort of expected him to still be made of wood, and perhaps he is ashamed for his father to see him, but I thought they could have at least showed where he was hiding or going. The fact that the new mystery guy (Baelfire? Peter Pan? Henry’s Dad?) did not make an appearence, either. Neither did Belle, and Emma and Snow White only got one scene altogether.
