That would actually be a nice nod to the Disney movie, when Jafar sends one of the palace towers flying to the ends of the earth
Oh nice. I wonder what would constitute the ends of the earth in the OUATverse.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Also, what was the deal with the key to TLUS also opening a door to the Mysterious Island?
I assumed that Mysterious Island was another name for the Land of Untold Stories, or that the Island at least resides there.
Agreed. Sort of like how the EF is also known as Mist Haven to the people of Arendale.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I don’t care about Jasmine and Alladin’s relationship
I don’t either! The show is capable of selling a lightening-fast relationship–last season I was quite taken with Zades. But there’s something totally lacking in the Jaladdin ship.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Do you think he will continue to have a part in Hook’s story or will we now completely forget about him.
Oh the latter for sure.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"It eloped with Atlantis.
I’d ship it.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"So he plans to cut her existing destiny away for a shot at creating one which involves the life he wants.
I still don’t think that gels. Destiny has always been a force in this show but so has free will. Belle’s destiny isn’t a set line; we see it change from week to week each time she changes her mind about Rumple and his level of involvement in her and Morfetus’s life.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Okay then. I’ll accept that.
(the fact that we constantly need claification on this sort of stuff speaks volumes, just saying).
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Count me in as someone who found this promo interesting.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"GENERAL: This episode is perfectly fine. It’s a needed improvement over last week’s. But there’s something about this season that isn’t…sitting well with me. Tiny scenes are good, even tiny story arcs are good. But the overall picture is messy and aimless. I don’t get what the end game is. What’s the point of this season besides visiting the characters from Forgotten Character Island and watching the EQ have a sass-off? I think a lot of this is due to the poor world building and the flimsy understanding the writers have about the savior themselves. The “forgotten stories” fit into a tiny episode but overall they are just there to fill up time until we get to a winter climax.
Rating: 7.5/10
LIKED
–Lana’s acting is, of course, phenomenal
–“He’s not my father!” “You’re not even a part of this family!”
–The underwater visuals were quite good. Actually, the CGI seems to have improved overall this year.
–Is the giant squid of doom any relation to Leggy from S3??? (Memories, guys. Memories)
–The conversation between Emma and Aladdin at the town line was well done; this is what this season should be–Saviors wrestling with their cosmic significance.
–Hook giving Henry a chance to escape. YES GOOD. Henry is more important to Emma or should be (and is an innocent child besides) and you need to be willing to put his life ahead of your and your romance. GOOD HOOK. GOOD.
MIXED
–I love the EQ being feisty but what does she actually want? What is her goal here??? She’s just serving as a one-line fabulous machine but what’s her character motivation? Just chaos?
–Shears of destiny work on anyone? At least they’re more than the MacGuffin of the week, then! But what exactly will they do to Belle/the baby? Is this a magical abortion or does it just change Morfetus’s personality/view on Rumple?
–Holy crap, they actually solved the story of Liam 2.0! It’s not a great ending but they actually followed up with it. I am blown away.
DISLIKED
–“Time of the Dark Curse” LOL, okaaaaaay? Shouldn’t Hook be trapped inside Cora’s bubble which was relatively small?
–Emma’s red dress. Seriously what up with this dress? Emma’s clothing usually symbolizes something so what am I supposed to read with this one?
–Aladdin’s accent is driving me bonkers.
–The complete indecisiveness that is Belle lately. She’s basically a human ping pong ball.
–NONONONONONONONONO. What is this EQ/Rumple NONSENSE. WHY?! GAG ME WITH A SPOON.
