James leaving Jack to die – it was awful, but as a moment of storytelling it was really effective. This is the sort of man Prince James was. George threatened to expose David’s identity secret ages ago – I think that this episode shows that to be a very hollow threat. Charming’s people (using “people” in the sense of family, friends and those he ruled/rules in FTL/SB) would not be impressed with James but are impressed with David. Says it all.

I loved the way Grumpy was doing the whole “twin – what? WHO ARE YOU???” while running away from being squished 😆

OK favourite moments:
* the Tiny pick axe. Because he’s a dwarf. Adorkable!
* the on the run explanation that, as we guessed, David is actually Prince Charming’s name. And gee, wasn’t James a right b@stard!
* THE DWARVES WHISTLING THE HI-HO SONG WHILE THEY WORKED 😀 I’m so happy!
* “please sit back, relax and enjoy your flight” – cut to Rumple looking petrified beyond belief.

Least favourite moments:
* while I loved Evil Regina being back, her pity party face at the news Henry was out of town was irritating. You wanted to know where he was? Maybe not disappear below ground for ages. Just an idea.
* But while we’re at it…. actually Snow, yes, Emma should be telling Regina where Henry is. Given that as far as Storybrooke, Maine’s laws are concerned, Regina is his legal mother and Emma has no custody rights. The writers seem to be avoiding the obvious dilemma here – sooner or later the folks of Storybrooke have to click that their feudal customs are totally inconsistent with the rest of the Western world.
* Belle. Sad. That’s all. Waaaa….
* Jack’s puppies on such prominent display. Seriously?! After a conversation at work today with friends about how uncomfortable and painful it is to run or do a gym class without a decent sports bra, I can only imagine how awkward those boobs were swinging a sword around. PRACTICALITIES PLEASE. And respect for women.

I can’t tell if its David or James.

Hope this means we’re getting flashbacks to baby Henry coming to SB

Unless that isn’t meant to be the king and is a servant or physician instead.

I want to try sea monster sushi! 😆

I hope the impaling on a cane line comes shortly after the uncivilised one. Airports are feral.

Actually, the outsider being a grown up Peter Pan who recognised Hook would make a lot of sense…..

Damnation! I want Nealfire to be Pan too 😉

I think it’s a red herring, designed to make us all wonder whether Whale/Frankenstein is from our world but the past.
