I really liked Weaver this episode. He was very Rumple Season 1, keeping me guessing as to what he’s up to and what all he knows.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Wow even with all the happy endings Rumple/Belle/Gideon are not considered Henry’s family as he asked Regina about everyone but them
Yeah that irked me quite a bit.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"General: So much of this episode made no sense or just relies on the audience being too dumb to think out the weird plot. The writers hope that if they keep in generic (“another realm” “some time ago”) we won’t realize that a lot of this is being pulled out of thin air on a whim. It was so overly convoluted and cobbled together; the present day stuff is mostly tolerable–and I quite liked Weaver and his role getting fleshed out a bit–but the flashbacks are like a bad fanfiction.
6/10; last week I felt like I was still watching OUAT, even if it was bereft of most of its glory. This week I felt like I was watching a totally different series that was incredibly poor and silly.
LIKED
–“You fight like your grandfather.”
–I love that Henry’s apartment has tons of knick-knacks like Neal’s NYC apartment did.
–Andrew J. West is still doing good work as Henry; I find him cute, endearing, and slightly silly, which is basically Henry all over. He’s got that cute flustered stutter thing that Emma used to do.
–Bobby makes for a great intimidating cop.
MIXED
–*sigh* So the Wish Realm was in the Original Universe, not UniverseB (where “Another Realm” is) s so how did Wish!Hook get to UniverseB!EF? How?! How are people traveling so easily and conveniently?! Not just across realms but to multiverses??
–Regina doesn’t even blink at Henry being in his thirties! That’s just not a normal reaction for a mother. She should be lamenting missing all that time with her son. I find it extremely hard to believe that Regina and Emma would not have gone after Henry after a certain length of time had passed.
DISLIKED
–I didn’t mind so much in the premiere but Lady Tremaine’s mannerisms and accent bother me.
–“I’m in trouble. Help! Send Emma Regina and Captain Hook!” LOL, okay. So that MacGuffin works that way then.
–Negative 1000 points for that wig Jennifer Morrison was forced to wear!
–No one ever needs reminding that the WishRealm was a thing.
–“I never thought Captain Hook would find love…” Look, Killian Jones may have taken a new moniker but he still loved Milah, for crying out loud.
–No but really…how the *heck* do Wish Realm!Hook and Tremaine have a past???
–“Killian wanted me to rest.” And thus the final death blow to Emma Swan’s character. If Emma herself needed to rest (because pregnancy does that to a woman) then brava, she’s a woman who made her choices about her body! But no. It’s not Emma’s choice to “rest.” It’s Killian who thinks Emma is too frail to go after *her child*and makes the choice for her. And Emma, horrifyingly, listens to him, letting him have final say over her agency and body.The Emma we knew back in S1-3 would never have let someone tell her what she can and cannot do. I cannot with the casual misogyny this show has been spinning out for years, ever since they started down this particular path.
–Wish!Realm Hook has a daughter. Sweet Christmas on a breadstick. WHY. Why is this a plot? Who the heck mothered Wish!Realm’s Hook’s child?! And what happened to “I never thought Captain Hook would find love?” Clearly he loves his daughter. And oh good! Let’s add weird chess pieces into the mix for some not so subtle breadcrumbs.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Raise a glass….after tonight, I feel like we’ll be able to breathe just a little bit better.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I cannot with that 2nd peek. I cannot, guys.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Emma needs to rest? Really. A woman who’s not even showing, who probably *just* found out she was pregnant, who is young, healthy, and has given birth before needs to rest and more or less be sequestered away in a dark room lest her fragile and frail body betray her?
Good lord, save me from the casual misogyny of this show. Pregnant women are not delicate wallflowers that need to be sheltered from the world. Give me a flipping break.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Came across this post today just browsing and I think it sums up a lot of the feelings I have regarding Emma leaving Henry to go back to SB either “because pregnancy” or any other reason. Why it’s an odd narrative choice to make and why it does still more damage to Emma’s character
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"The Grim Reaper currently has OUAT at a 55% chance for renewal. He has a really good track record of predicting renewal/cancel so we’ll keep an eye on that percentage.
Anyone wanna guess the ratings for 702? I’m going to go with staying steady at a .7
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"WHO did Lady Tremaine kill in order to enact the curse?
I think the real question is was it Lady Temaine who cast the curse. My guess is no.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Yeah, still going with Alice being Rumbelle baby. They said episode 4 is a big one for her and that’s the Rumbelle/Rumple one. As for Baby!SwanJones….I’m betting we’ll never really hear anything more about it unless (unless!) they can get JMo back for one more.
