Thought of another dislike, or maybe a missed opportunity.
-Emma you lived in the real world for your entire life and have made several Harry Potter jokes before. How did you NOT snarkily suggest that someone play Cerberus a lullaby?
I miss when Emma used to make funny pop culture references.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Actual reaction: “Oooooooh”
Howevah!!! “The Darkest of the Dark Ones.” Pretty sure Rumple never tried to send an entire town to Hell. Pretty sure Dark One Rumple sacrificed himself for the town.
I mean I might be remembering wrong.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I can’t think of any way for Adam and Eddy to combine both Greek Mythology and Christian/Catholic Religion without it getting all confusing so they probably should have just had Merlin drink from an enchanted river instead of the Holy Grail, and just stuck with the Greek.
Easy. You don’t name it. Or you call it something vague like the land of happily ever afters; the better place (which is what they were doing in 512). You don’t name it.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Chip and the creepy Peter Pan doll are down there, too. So why not?
But does that mean that every inanimate object has unfinished business. How silly! I have no problem with the pen being down there but the idea that’s it’s alive and it, its very self has unfinished business, is…silly. Or is Chip going to come to life and talk to Rumple and explain how he’s a very sad tea cup because his OTP is currently on the rocks??
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Here’s my problem with their romance….
I understand, and acknowledge that young teenagers can have crushes and even significant relationships but most of those latter ones are borne out of similar, long lasting life experiences. There is usually a significant emotional link between the two–Gus and Hazel have cancer (TFIOS); Henry and Violet lost a parent, and so on and so forth. In the flashback, there is a serious inequality; Hercules has all the power and knowledge and bravery; Snow needs all the power, knowledge and bravery and only her new friend (who happens to be “hawt” as the kids say) can provide this to her.
There’s nothing linking them besides the fact that Snow was saved by this guy who in turn taught her a lesson. Eh. It’s…usually more complicated than that. A relationship—even one as startlingly brief as this one–built only on the girl being swept off her feet by the guy is never going to be well sold in my eyes.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"So now people from all across the globe, or every culture dies and goes to Olympus to be with the greek gods?
Yes this is the one that bothers me a lot. It needs to be more generic in order to fit every mythology and culture they’ve introduced in their show: Mulan’s fictional China, Agrabah? Neither of those would give two cents about Olympus.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"–Heaven is Olympus. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I AM thinking Heaven will be different for every person…. It was not OLYMPUS for Henry SR. . .
Yes it was. It’s the same place. The clouds cleared for Herc and Meg, letting the audience in the secret. But it’s the same place.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I hate episodes in which the theme is spelled out for the viewer over and over; as if you are incapable of picking up on the theme-of-the-week without characters saying it over and over. “Don’t let fear of failure stop you from trying” Yes, yes. Fine message, I suppose. But stop having your characters say it. Show it. SHOW.
This episode wasn’t horrible. It’s much better than a lot of S5A. But it was tedious; the same beat being hit over and over and over. Also, man…Hercules and Meg have no charisma, do they?
LIKED
–“Can you keep a secret?” LOL, No Hercules
–“The gin, the glamour….the gin.” Welcome back Cruella. I honestly do love her.
–Emma and Hades finally met and it was good. It should have been a bit more weighty (Savoir vs Death) but I’ll wait for that moment.
–Bailee is a mini Ginny, as always
–“Why does everyone say that? I am Hades. This is death.” Mythology: unlocked! (hint: no one but a savior/hero can conquer death)
–Cerberus CGI wasn’t terrible but wish we had seen a bit more.
–Baby Snow’s outfits
–“I don’t want to be Mary Margaret anymore. I want to be Snow White.” PRAISE GOD. THANK YOU DARK LORDS, OF TV!
MIXED
–Hercules and Young Snow. So Snow learns how to be a hero because of a guy? That she has a crush on? Good lord, why? Also, since when is heroism defined by being able to FIGHT? Snow outwitted people in S1. Brains over brawn. And now it’s the other way. But at least we learned how Snow learned to shoot! Finally.
–Mary Margaret’s emotional turmoil in Hellbrooke. Tedious but a mostly okay message? However felt like we were retreading familiar ground, which annoys.
–I think the bridge to the “Better Place” is really the way to Forgotten Character Island. Bye Bye Herc and Meg?
DISLKED
–OMG Meg has the emotional resonance of a teaspoon. I mean why did I care about her at all? Talk about a truly uninspired depiction of one of Disney’s more feisty princesses. Especially since it turns out that Meg was a damsel in distress running from Cerberus when Herc “met” her.
–Meg and Herc don’t already know each other? How am I supposed to by their love story if they literally just met while fighting a three-headed dog?
–Young Snow not only knew Hercules but made out with him! And we’ve never gotten the slightest hint EVER about this.
–Snow walked into a camp after one shooting lesson to take on bandits. Oh. You naive idiot.
–The Pen is alive and has unfinished business. Good lord. So do all inanimate objects have unfinished business? Is Chip gonna lament his sad fate and have to talk to Rumple in order to move on. No but really. The pen is alive, guys.
–Heaven is Olympus. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I dislike Regina’s outfit. It’s very rich old lady and doesn’t suit Regina at all.
Really dislike that hat. (But the color is super pretty on Lana, I will say)
