    So…

    Why didn’t they send home Robin and the baby via the slippers with Snow (and Red)

    Oh wait…his name needs to be on one of the grave stones so he can save Regina.

    How about we save baby Green Bean at least….

    If Hades is incapable of killing people then it needs to said outright. Loud. And in language that is so clear as to make it completely unquestionable because that (Hades’s being unable to kill) would just be straight up weird. We’ve never had a villain that couldn’t (not wouldn’t…but couldn’t) commit murder; and especially not one that was also a god.

    You know what this show is like….not everything that needs to made clear is made clear. Praying that it is made explicit.

    Yes if Hades can do what he did to Auntie Em, then why can’t he just dump a whole vat of the river on Emma et al’s head and call it a day?

    I’d like to see more souls being saved, especially the one’s Regina sent down there…I would like to see her saving more of those.

    In the first episode of 5B I thought that is what we would get but it seems that soul-saving in general  has come to a grinding halt.

     –Belle has morning sickness but she is so newly pregnant that she didn’t even know she was pregnant when Rumple told her. But Zelena, who was pregnant for long enough to fully know she was with child, never had morning sickness? That makes NO sense. 

    Speaking from personal experience, I suffered from morning sickness just before I got a positive pregnancy test. It turned positive 14 days past ovulation, the most common day to get a positive. (This ended up as a chemical this Feburary, however). Meanwhile my friend who carried two boys to term never experienced nausea or morning sickness in either of her pregnancies.

    7/1o due an important confusion

    LIKED

    -Non-heterosexual love….well done Once! Finally!

    -Seeing RRH again.

    -Red carrying Dorothy though Oz.

    -That being the author is a 24 hour job….makes sense.

    -That there were no sudden magical McGuffins. That all magical items etc were previously mentioned/previously used, then used later.

    -”It’s hard to be a savior when no one wants you to save them” oooh good point, Hades!

    -Red and Snow’s chit chat.

    -Charming letting Snow leave Underbrooke. Predictable, but nice.

    -Hook had limited screen time….which allowed more screen time for everyone else, in roughly equal portions.

    -No silly blue hair (Hades).

    MIXED

    Belle telling Rumple to save the baby on his own so that she doesn’t have to darken her soul further. I realise that it was him that got Belle and the baby into this mess in the first place, but I can’t decide if the reason she provided was selfish or if she had the right to say it.

    DISLIKED

    -That it took Charming that long to figure out that he and Snow shouldn’t be there.

    -The confusing issue, below.

    CONFUSION-EPISODE

    -Why doesn’t Hades turn everyone into gloop before they have the chance to move on to a better place.

    (I guess Belle is right and to him souls in Underbrooke=power, enough to overthrow Zeus, and his threat of turning everyone into gloop was an empty one).

    CONFUSION-GENERAL

    -What happened to the SB-as-the-new-Camelot arc?

    -Is that dwarf still a tree on the other side of the town line?

    -When will we see more of RH’s promised backstory-the one that is supposed to explain why he says he has dark past (robbing from the rich to give the poor doesn’t count).

    Actually, I really liked it! 9/10 because most of it made sense!

    I really enjoyed Belle and Gaston. Both actors were great.

    I am also really enjoying Underbrooke…it took me a while to get used to the red filter but it feels like 2A to me right now, so all is good.

    I was disappointed that Robin was absent again, but least they addressed this and came up with a good reason: that he was in the woods with baby green bean.

    Stalker-Hades…eew.

    CONFUSIONS

    -What is actually the purpose of the blue flame hair? Is it just simply an expression of power or anger (or both?). There must be more to it. (Not really interested in Disney, just want an in-show explanation).

    -Did we really see Hades weaken when Hook’s brother Liam and friends moved on? You’ll have to remind me folks.

    PREDICTION

    Belle’s right. Hades gets his power from souls, hence his relentless grab for them. He needs enough power (enough Souls) to  overpower/overthrow his brother, Zeus, and perhaps switch roles, placing himself in Olympus and sending Zeus to the Underworld.

    (He hates his brother, but maybe one of his motivations is to give Zelena a nice place to live, making her his weakness also?).

    Hope not. I wrote on this forum two weeks ago that I was praying that Henry and/or all the characters are NOT in the asylum.
