My original theory hadn’t involved Victoria being awake too though, which she clearly is.
I’m actually questioning whether or not she is awake. What if Ivy only made her mom *think* she’s awake? So, Victoria has knowledge of who really is (Lady Tremaine) and thinks she’s working under the guise of being the only woke person in HH, but in reality she’s as cursed as everyone else but this is Drizella’s special brand of curse: for her mom to only have the illusion of power?
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I’m really ready for one of our old crew to wake up!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"GENERAL: There’s nothing really wrong with this episode. It’s a standard “meet the character” episode that has an interesting twist on the classic fairy tale, a mythology reveal, and is mostly decently acted. I don’t know that it’s actually compelling and I think Sabine’s plans are incredibly stupid and naive but there’s some good stuff here, namely in the way Adalaide Kane is stealing the show as Ivy/Drizella.
7/10
LIKED
–Drizella is slowly becoming one of my favorite parts of this new season. I like her passive aggressive snark and her killer wardrobe.
–“I think you should pick up a hobby or two.” “…I’ll take that into consideration.”
–“I do have a few friends…on the other side.”
–“Your legs should get a few coins, seeing as they’ll soon be half off.” Gosh, but that’s a GOOD pun.
–“Ralph….wreck it.” I see what you did there, OUAT.
–They both turned into frogs! +10 for that twist; didn’t see that coming even a mile away! Actually started laughing hysterically.
MIXED
–I get that it’s accurate to the time but the whole “finding a prince who will save us” conversation made my insides gag.
–I get that Tiana’s mom’s speech to her about embracing her father’s legacy is supposed to be sweet and encouraging but really…it doesn’t make any sense. Like, it doesn’t solve any money problems.
–Sorry but I agree with Jacinda about this ridiculous dream of Sabine’s. The idea that you can make enough sweet pastries to buy your own apartment or at least pay the rent in an up and coming neighborhood in Seattle is mental. They only made money today because they more or less shut down the chicken joint and dedicated all their time to making the sweets. Eventually they have to reopen Mr. Clucks and serve chicken! Then how will they make enough treats to not only pay for supplies but also to turn a profit?
DISLIKED
–Please, for the love of everything, stop with the “many years ago”
–Really? The stellar idea to earn enough money to own your own apartment and be free of Victoria is for one person to make beignets? That is…unrealistic and dumb.
–I’m not sure what it is, but I find the way Gabrielle Anwar plays Victoria to be really off putting. Maybe it’s her voice or slightly plastic-y face, but she’s just not doing it for me.
–Goodness, the police interrogation chamber is HUGE. Even the fancy cops in NYC don’t get rooms that big.
–Roni just happens to open a locker that has a picture of her and Young!Henry in it? Sure. That’s not overly convenient at all.
–Jacinda used her rent money–money that could keep her child and herself off the streets–to buy a food truck? That currently doesn’t have an oven or even counterspace? Girl, you’re dumb.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"So I found this:
The name “Eloise” comes from the Old French name Héloïse, which is probably from the Germanic name Helewidis, composed of the elements heil “hale, healthy” and wid “wide”. It is sometimes associated with the Greek word ‘ηλιος (helios) “sun” or the name Louise, though there is not likely an etymological connection.
Rapunzel got her powers from a sun infused flower. Eloise = Rapunzel.
Nice find! I guess the bigger question is, now, who is Rapunzel? Is it lady Tremaine (seems so unlikely!) or Anastasia? Or someone else altogether?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Easily possible, though less than likely since the official line for the show is to pretend Will, Ana, and all of OUATinWL don’t exist. And they’d have to explain what happened to Ana? (Well, I guess they don’t HAVE to but it sure would be nice)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I’m putting cookies on this being another Tiana-centric where she opens a restaurant in HH.
Given the “Taste” part of the Title, Tiana is definitely a possibility but I was also thinking Robyn since “taste of” can mean to sample something (anything) for the first time. If she’s arriving in the winter finale then this could be her episode explaining how she got to HH and what her life was like before.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Is anyone going to watch Alias Grace
I haven’t read it, but I’d like to watch it!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"And it’s “powerful parents” plural, so does Zelena marry a powerful character who becomes Robyn’s step parent?
Yeah I thought that was curious given that Robin didn’t have magical powers and Robyn considers herself living in the shadows of both parents.
