I wonder if Hades can only see what’s going on in town in the moment if he knows where to look. The forest is so large he may have not been able to pin point an area where Robin was hiding. Places like the Charming’s apartment or Zelenas house are specific points he can look into because he knows exactly where they are. Kinda like a gps? So perhaps if Zelina is missing and he doesn’t know where to look for her exactly it won’t be so easy to find her location.
I’ll accept that!
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"*Where* is Pan holding her though? I thought Hades had eyes everywhere but he can’t see Robin in the woods…or wherever Pan is hiding Z?
(but Hades is gonna be so sad! He’s gonna think she stood him up)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"It comes back to some points I made around the episode 515 about can their be redemption without any sort of suffering. Cora’s been in a prison of Hades’ making but not for very long and not for the actual crimes you listed above. The show gets a little sensitive about hurting their favorites or the friends/family of their favorites. In 515, it wouldn’t let Liam go to the worst place even though he turned out to have ensured the deaths of many men–largely because he’s Hook’s brother and Hook can’t have something that painful happen to him. In his case, it’s Cora who is Regina’s mother (and both women are beloved of the creators and writers) so they aren’t actually going to have her suffer for all eternity. But James, who’s crimes aren’t ripping hearts from hundreds, mass murder but just petty jealousy and egomania, doesn’t get any sort of redemption or even attempt. But he’s nothing special to the show…so…it’s “fine.”
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"All my excitement for this episode just went up in a cloud of smoke.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"This episode was mostly pretty good, even if I predicted a ton of it going in. But there were many instance of super convenient explanations that dropped out of the sky just for this plot and this plot alone (River Lethe runs right by the Mills’ estate, huh? Zelena and Regina met but Cora did a thing, huh?) but it was really great to see Cora, Zelena and Regina finally be together in one place, connecting.
LIKED
–“Will you make chaos with me?” Srsly. This line is so stupid but I ridiculously love it.
–Love Hades’ car.
–Cool magical moment with Zelena and the wood pile
–LOL at the random mill in Underbrooke. Did Hades create it just for Cora?
–The first interaction between James and David was just so cheesy–“you had your fun at playing prince. Let’s see what happens when I play shepherd” I mean, yeah Josh. You just chew threw that scenery. Gosh knows they don’t give David anything.
–“Why is everything in the woods with you people?”
–Cruella punched Emma.
–LOL at the image of Robin wandering through the woods with a baby carrier and baby Pistachio!
–Baby Regina and Baby Zelena playing dress-up together are really cute even if their makeup is scary as heck.
–Loved the emotional scene between Cora and Zelena, especially Cora admitting that Zelena is her unfinished business and she did what she did for selfish reasons. I’m also glad that Zelena could tell she was being fooled, even if Cora was genuine.
–“You two are cut from the same dark cloth!” Zelena is on point with that.
–Past! Cora is so deliciously heartless. I was cringing in horror over her actions separating the two girls, but it fits SO PERFECTLY with who she was.
–“I thought love, any kind of love, was weakness. I was a fool.” Yaaaaas character development for a minor character!
–“It’s never too late, you never stop being connected.” #EpisodeTheme!
–Cora’s goodbye to her two girls was powerful. Well done, Barbara Hershey. It has been a great joy to watch a class act lady play this tricky and nuanced role.
–Hades is practicing dancing for Zelena!
MIXED
–Regina acting a lot like Cora by telling Zelena that she’s trying to do what is best for her. Yes, daughters become their mothers, but you would think that Regina would have learned how not to be like Cora after, say, season 2?
–Buuuut…Regina has a point. Zelena did lose her rights to trust and privacy after everything she’s ever done. You have to EARN those back. And thus far, Zelena’s batting zero in that regard.
–So Cora’s been spying on Young! Zelena this whole time and never thought to ….rescue her?
DISLIKED
–Young Regina did magic with a wand and needs someone related to heal her with same blood, but not Cora cause *reasons* Man, that’s some clunky plot exposition just to get this point to happen.
–Hook thinks killing Zelena is a step in the right direction. Yes, totally redeemed.
–“I have to do things my way now.” Or you could TRY not to do all the evilz, Rumple?
–Gosh, I’m so glad Emma has a superpower that lets her know when people are lying!
–Rly? The River Lethe runs right by the Mill’s estate in the EF? Rly?????! Golly, that’s super convenient!
–Cora took off the effects of the water…by just a hand hold? And how does the water target just THOSE memories? That’s convenient!
–Bye bye James. So not everyone can move on. Murderers, yes. Jealous princes, no.
–Did PP just throw a bag over Z’s head…

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Soooo I’m the only one who didn’t buy what Hades was selling to Zelena then? Maybe it’s just that Greg Germann was laying it on so thick, but I’ve been on the fence about them, and this just made me think that he’s playing her.
I said this in the most recent podcast but chances are most people haven’t gotten to take a listen yet…but I don’t think it’s necessarily mutually exclusive. I don’t think Hades wants just revenge OR just Zelena. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they appear to be paralleling Zades and Rumbelle right now–both men who who want it all and may have to face a choice: love or revenge. I don’t think Hades is playing Zelena but I don’t believe he’s being disingenuous either.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I actually don’t want Regina’s barreness to be cured.
I dunno how many of us actually want her barreness to be cured. But knowing the show, it’s probably what they’ll do.
Yup exactly. @POM I agree with pretty much everything you said, but I find it extremely hard to believe that they won’t cure Regina before the show is over.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"It could be completely irrelevant but I do wonder if the ratings of an episode reflect the reception of the previous episode
They tend to work that way, yes. There are a lot of factors, but for your average GA, the previous episode and promo for following week do play a pretty big part in whether or not you’ll watch.
