I doubt it, but I did just read a theory about Neal’s bowling trophy. I totally forgot about that, but it’s possible that instead of being a bowling trophy it was a cricket trophy of some kind because some of those trophies look similar to what was in his apartment.
Nah, the one in Neal’s apartment doesn’t look like it could be a cricket trophy IMO. The stance of Neal’s trophy is an under arm bowling action, and cricket balls are NOT bowled under arm (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjZdaVmz_kg). Also, Neal’s trophy appears to be wearing a skirt, and modern day female cricketers certainly don’t wear skirts.

Yes, everyone in Storybrooke already knows they’re coming, but geeze, Cora and Hook, wouldn’t it make more sense to be on the down low to gather intel and do some retcon first.
I wonder if some of the new footage isn’t actually footage from the next several episodes. It just seems like a lot of big things to fit into one episode. I also share the feeling that Hook and Cora would want to lay low for awhile as they plot their next move. I read in a post winter-finale interview that Hook’s ship is enchanted to be invisible and that Hook decides to keep a low righteous profile. Maybe Cora disguises Hook as a nun (Tinker Bell)! 💡 How hallarious would it be if Dr. Whale finally works up the nerve to hit on a nun who turns out to be Hook in disguise! 😆 That interview can be read here: http://tvline.com/2012/12/02/once-upon-a-time-midseason-finale-recap-burning-questions/2/
😆 That would be a fun scene!
Anyway, here’s the blurb slurpeez is refering to…
When I spoke to Colin O’Donoghue last week, he said that through episodes filmed to date, “Hook hasn’t had a huge interaction with many of the other characters” — possibly because he falls in with the wrong (meaning a righteous) crowd upon setting boot in the Maine burg. “It’s shocking and it’s exciting, and it’s not what you would expect,” Dallas says of Hook’s entrance into Storybrooke society. “He gets thrust into the group, as it were, quite violently!”
There would be few in town more righteous than the nuns, and Cora may want a spy in their ranks to keep an eye on Blue. How does one get violently thrust into hanging out with the local nuns though? Hmmm.

As for where Cora’s heart is, I’ve read a lot of good theories so far, but right now there’s just so many possibilities of where it could be. If she did go to other worlds, we haven’t seen Oz so far, so maybe that will be how they tie in that story. Although I’m not sure if we will see Oz this season, or if they had to push it back to next season.
Well, there was this guy in Oz who happened to have a spare heart lying around to give to a Tin Man. Wonder where he got it from. Hmmmm.

Least Favorite Scenes: Basically everything with Mulan and Aurora. What a watse of potential. They’re not even coming to Storybrooke. 🙁
I’m wondering if they might hook up with Lancelot somehow. We never had confirmation that he was dead, and if Cora had him locked up somewhere, perhaps he can escape now that she’s vacated the realm. Aurora, Mulan, Phillip, and potentially Lancelot would be the only 4 people left in FTL now, wouldn’t they? Everyone else was at the safe haven, and Cora wiped them all out, right? If so, it’d be pretty harsh if they were stuck in FTL without any contact with anyone else, ever, so maybe they’ll connect them up to SB somehow in the end. Perhaps?

Ok, I’m a big Regina fan, but even I didn’t feel sorry for her at the end. Yes, she helped Snow and Emma. But let’s get real here. She destroyed everything Snow held dear. She killed her father and nearly killed her husband Charming. I love that Regina saved them in the end, but inviting the person who destroyed your life over for dinner would be ridiculously OOC for the Charmings.
Yes, we also have to remember that Emma and Snow just returned and don’t know what’s been going on in Storybrooke since they’ve been gone. (Not that they should have invited her even if they had known she’s trying to change, but still, they’re not fully aware of what’s going on with Regina like the audience is.)
WORD to you both! Girlfriend has a whole lifetime of truly evil deeds to make up for. Saving Emma and Snow was a good start, but that doesn’t magically erase the whole sordid history she has with that family.

The way this ended though despite Regina doing everything good leaving her like that is just setting her up to regress.
Exactly. They had to show her all emotionally wounded and vulnerable so that what happens to her next makes sense. Cora’s come back because she believed that Regina would need her to help pick up the pieces. Well, Cora was right, Regina’s pretty lost and lonely right now. So when Cora shows up, it’ll create some great drama when Regina is tempted to use magic for evil all over again. If she doesn’t think that using it just to do good has really got her anywhere, then she’s gonna have a major internal struggle and most likely a relapse, which frankly, is pretty realistic, because if they just had her drop the dark magic quick and easy, I wouldn’t buy it. Baby steps. But patience is a virtue that I don’t think Regina possesses.
I like that they’ve shown her to be genuinely trying to do better. Never thought I’d feel sympathy for her, but I have, and I like how they’ve had Henry encouraging her and rewarding her with a genuine hug and a smile when she comes through and does good. But at times her turn around has felt a bit rushed. I can see now, however, that they had to get her to exactly the state of mind and heart she’s in now, so it’d coincide with the return of her mother, so it’s set it up just right for the crap to hit the fan in a most spectacular way.
I would like to nominate, “Though the burning red room did give me pause,” as quote of the season. 😉

Of course it’s sad to loose a guest star (unless they are called nikky and paolo)

A major death could be a good thing in that it could shake up the storyline quite nicely. Just as long as there’s a good reason for the death. I don’t wanna see much loved characters sacrificed just for the sake of being able to give the screen time to a new character. At this stage of the game, I don’t think killing anyone off would really serve the storyline, as there are too many threads that need resolving right now.
