Overall I liked this episode but again, it had some minor flaws that I’m mostly able to look the other way on.
Overall: 8/10
Liked:
– The twist that Jekyll was the monster. I thought the backstory was great. And Jekyll basically framing Hyde for his murder was pretty great.
– Sat Witwer did a great job.
– Gold being bad again. Robert Carlyle just does it so well. I think they are setting him up this way so that he can die a hero at the end of this arc. I’m not sure how you could be on favor of this ship anymore. The writers don’t even want us to root for it anymore it seems. Which is fine, bc Belle isn’t being stupid. She recognizes the abuse and based on how bad it was this week, I just dn’t see any sort of reconciliation at this point. They have to kill Rumple and he’s going to sacrifice himself specifically for Belle.
– Charming getting thrown by Hyde.
– Gold’s new haircut. It looks good and it’s a nice switch up.
– How Jekyll and Hyde died was pretty cool. Actual blood on the show…
– Snow teaching was great. And as RG said, it’s SNOW teaching so that was nice to see.
– The flashbacks felt like The Nutty Professor and I didn’t hate it.
– Hook saving Belle. Hook doing wonders this year.
– The dagger coming into play. Always good.
– Great acting from the major players this week.
Mixed:
– Jekyll going from killing someone accidentally to full blown trying to murder Belle was a little too fast for my liking.
– The window scene. It just looked so forced. He was no where near the window and then how they got them to the window looked sloppy.
– Jasmine, yay! Actress, check! But come on….the slow reveal…we all knew it was Jasmine. But where is Aladdin? Clearly not in the land of untold stories like we thought. And my goodness, the Oracle has got to be Jafar. She had a staff. But if Jasmine is working with Jafar, is JAsmine evil? My guess is she needs him to find Aladdin but is not a bad person. Perhaps she is in debt to him.
Disliked:
– How is Rumple in fictional london? The same place we know Bae ended up….Is this before Bae went through the portal? We know Rumple is already with Belle at this point so I’m inclined to say Bae is already gone. So Rumple was in the same place Bae was but he just didn’t know it? Someone needs to explain this to me.
– Sam Witwer is gone. He was so good. Gosh that voice. And what a presence on the screen. It’s a shame he had to die just so they could show us how to kill a doppelganger.
[adrotate group="5"]It sure makes it sound like he hasn’t filmed yet. And if that’s true, then who will be who’s mirror? Maybe the title is a red herring. Maybe it has nothing to do with the EQ or Regina.
Yeah I liked this episode for the most part. So is Tetch now going to go crazy bonkers, like off the handle? He did tell Alice you don’t want to see him if he ever lost her. And now that Alice is dead, will he seek out Strange to try and bring her back? Or will his next storyline be something different? Lee and Gordon I care about…but it’s so painfully obvious that they will end up back together. So I wish we could skip all this drama. Penguin and Nygma are great…fastest election I’ve ever seen though. What on Earth does The Court of Owls want with clone Bruce. Was Strange making him for them specifically? And no poison ivy, no Strange, no Fish, no Valerie????
The beginning of that scene makes Emma look egotistical and rude; it makes Archie look unprofessional (which he is since he got his degree from a curse) and equally rude.
Yeah I just think that’s so incredibly harsh on Emma. She’s going through a lot right now…like a vision where she dies!!!! So in a panic, she rushed to find Archie and obviously didn’t think to knock on the door. Once she saw Grumpy there, I believe she said she’ll come back later. It’s not like she forced Grumpy out. She was going to leave. It’s Archie if anything who looks bad here. The writers could have had Archie say “No it’s ok Emma, we actually just finished.” But instead they had him tell Grumpy they’ll pick it up next time which was pretty unprofessional. But Emma, I don’t fault her. If anything, she should be accused of being negligent, not egotistical and rude. If she insisted on Grumpy leaving, then that would be egotistical and rude. But that’s not what she did.
I’m guessing time moves forward–the sun rises and sets–but biological time has stopped. It’s like the Curse of s1. Astrological time was unaffected but human’s responses to astrological time changed, the only real difference is that the characters in the Land of Untold Stories are aware of and agree to this change. The Cursed people of SB did not.
This is my understanding as well.
Loved it. That’s all I say. And honestly, this last season was arguably GoT’ best season yet so idk you can fault the writers for moving the story along at a faster pace with more action. It won best drama for a reason.
This really felt like a season 1 episode. It did not bother me at all that this was filler. It was done well enough that it didn’t feel like filler when I was watching it. They twisted a classic story and gave me that magic feeling I haven’t felt in a long time.
8.5/10
Liked:
– Transition from book to flashback. Haven’t seen that in a long time.
– The twist on Ella’s story. Very season 1 ish.
– Finding out why her name is Cinderella.
– Gus Gus!
– Snow and Charming convos. They felt real. Yes, go back and be a teacher!
– Jekyll meets Frankenstein. Yes!
– Hook sword fighting with Henry, and Hook interacting with Alexandra. They are doing a very good job with Hook this season.
– The ball was nice. Costumes great. The conversations between Ella and the prince were great. The chemistry felt real.
– Snow being able to understand Gus. That made sense and she helped get Ella her happy ending.
– Lady Tremaine was ruthless. In the present and past. Thought she was great.
– Lasagna scene was great! Anything with Mr. Hyde is fun in my book.
– I liked the Archie scene. Emma came in but did not know he was with a patient. So it’s not her fault. But Archie ending his session early with Grumpy was a little not ok. But her talking to Archie is great!
– Regina and Zelena scene.
– EQ is always good. Yay Hyde and EQ duo!
Mixed:
– The connection between the key and Rumple and Lady Tremaine. Are there multiple keys? How did Rumple get it? I feel like there is a missing part of the story that I hope they tell us.
– Rumple’s tape to Belle. Idk, it didn’t do much for me. I don’t really get the point of Rumple doing that. Unless that allowed him to track where Belle was.
– The Dopey explanation. Eyes rolling…..I don’t need to see it but the explanation was pretty silly.
– Couldn’t care less that Anastasia wasn’t one of the step sisters. For me, Wonderland was a separate show but since A&E said it was canon, and there were alleged big hints, it’s annoying.
Disliked:
– Ella basically bragging about her ring. Horrific timing.
