King George, Bo Peep, and Blackbeard.
Look, I just came up with three villains (read: non regular characters) whose crimes warrant them a trip to the Underworld if “the rules are the rules” and a life requires a life.
And that brings me to another point: they emphasized again tonight that it’s a life for a life…so then how do they intend to save Hook at all??
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Couldn’t they just pick three really nasty villains (surely Regina, Rumple and Hook know some) and carve their names into the stones? This strikes me as such a overly convenient new development but one that won’t be followed to its almost logical conclusion.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"then Emma and Hook can stay dead together?
Don’t get me wrong, I kinda wish that in general but….like @watcher said…Henry…Snowing…Saviorhood…?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I don’t think Belle is being genuine. I think she’s trying to trick Rumple into choosing–and that’s super problematic because how does that not cause resentment down the road?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Did Hades really just ask “will you make chaos with me?”
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Meh. Don’t like this one all that much. It was so utterly predictable and I’m really not happy that they denied Mulan part of the much anticipated LGBT story. This is one of those episodes where everyone dragged their feet and the plot just stopped. But the biggest issue is this: A and E said they didn’t want this episode to be “a very special episode” but that’s what it was! You had two previously unacknowledged, previously unattached, previously tertiary and fourth tier characters come out of the closet, having never interacted before or even been aware of each others existence and seal it with a TLK to wake from a sleeping curse. It was all about a “very special episode” complete with the punchline to the joke: who is gay on OUAT?! A and E designed this episode to only be tweetable and to have articles published about their show, not because it was anything organic or meaningful. Back to Forgotten Character Island they all go! Because that’s how you respect the LGBT community? By giving them tokenism for one episode before forgetting it forever?!
LIKED
–Bex looked gorgeous in this episode. Her hair gives me life
–It is great to see Mulan and Ruby. Meghan in particular is always a welcome sight.
–“Chisel chin Jr”
–Good job @Matthewpaul for calling that Dorothy was in a sleeping curse, like Regina had done to Snow.
–“One bad move….or thirty”
–Someone’s gotta pick me up off the floor cause Hook said thank you. I mean, it was brief and instantly reverted back to his own self-worth and narcissism but hey….he said thanks!
–“Kansas and Wolfie” sounds like a bad buddy-buddy cop TV show from the 70s.
–Greg Germann is excellent and we need to keep him; seriously he melted Auntie Em and them mopped her up with a rag and then wrung her into a mason jar. It’s so over the top and stupid that it’s great.
–“That’s so, Savior.” I love when the characters are self aware of their and others cosmic standing.
–The Snow and Ruby conversation about Dorothy was really great. It’s so nice to see people who have a lot of history and weight behind their interactions have a real human moment.
–I also love that all the characters are supportive of Ruby, not freaked out or horrified. They just believe in love and that…THAT…is a positive message.
–Snowing’s TL music will never NOT make me weepy. I miss S1. I miss it a lot.
–Ruby and Dorothy after the initial TLK was great and wonderful. Too bad they get shipped back to Forgotten Character Island now.
MIXED
–Red using a tracking spell to find Zelena. I mean, it’s nonsense because it’s also realm jumping, but at least they put in an explanation.
–Belle vacillating like mad with her “I let my heart turn to darkness to save you.” Yeah, it should be difficult for her, but they are hitting the same beats every week. Progress, please.
–I don’t dislike the Ruby/Dorothy relationship. The way the writers created Dorothy, to be someone who’s family hurt her, as an outcast, and who has a strong relationship with a canine, it make sense to bond her to Ruby. BUT. This should be Mulan’s story. It really should. They’ve set her up as a lesbian since S2/3 and for them to not follow through reeks of Disney interference and it makes me really sad.
DISLIKED
–And Mulan and Ruby got to Oz…how?
–Zelena’s feather-hat bothers me like crazy
–There is no way that Toto sounds like that, no matter how dense the trees. Sillyness.
–“I have the love of my child!” No, your child is 2 days old. It just wants to scream, sleep, and eat. It doesn’t understand or have love of you. You are literally a feeding machine. It’s more accurate to say that you love your child and have love for her.
–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.
–If Mulan plays the pronoun game ONE MORE TIME…..*head desk*
–So if you can replace the names, then just pick three villains from any realm and replace Emma, David, and Regina?!
–And Robin Hood was where this episode?
–And Snow made it to SB…how?
–Belle in a sleeping curse! Doesn’t except to be woken up by Rumple but by MOe?!

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"m 99% certain the same-sex couple will be Ruby and Dorothy. The episode title “Ruby Slippers” is a dead giveaway as being a ‘ship’ name for the two of them
Yeah I’m pretty sure you’re right. The name of the title is a cheeky way to name the ‘ship.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Why is GoS considered ‘shocking’? I think it’s typical TV story. It reminds me a bit of Law and Order SVU or something. I like the story so far and root for the lawyer and friends to bring down the warden.
Most network TV shows aren’t going to go into the level of detail GoS about the horrors inflicted on the kids at Quitman. Most leave it vague, discuss it in coded language, and almost never ever show anything. Even SVU isn’t going to cross certain lines. While rape (and child rape at that) is a common element of SVU, it is very rarely depicted in the way GoS has, and it is never more than an episode or two (a small handful out of 23), happens to the peripheral child characters (guest stars of the week) and is not a reoccurring flashback for the main characters. That would happen on cable TV but not network.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"[mod]
There are only so many times I can emphasize the need for civility and respect when discussing potential spoilers. All spoilers are confusing. Everyone has a different interpretation and with absolutely no new information at this point, the conversation is only going to go around in circles while we wait for the final episodes. That doesn’t mean we need to get snarky or mean spirited or condescending. Enough.
