This episode wasn’t as thrilling as the last, but it was enjoyable at parts.
Liked:
The answer to who trained Snow White….finally! It took five seasons, but we finally know! Well done Hercules.
Hercules don’t ever ask Snow White to keep a secret….it may just be your undoing.
Herc and Snow’s interaction was nice.
Regina encouraging Snow White, highlight moment for me.
Cruella De Vil and Henry had the best scene of the night, I don’t know why, but this woman just never fails to amuse and entertain me!
And finally Snow is ready to cast aside her Mary Margret title and go back to her Snow White roots.
Hercules taking Megara back home with him to Olympus in the end was wonderful!
Nice to see that even Bailee knows how Snow can’t keep a secret! Lol
"can you keep a secret?"
ummmmmmmmmmm. we've been down this road before. #OnceUponATime @onceabc

Megara….I just can’t get over how they destroyed her character. Just a travesty!

Awwww, he calls her Grandma Cora! And oh look, Robin has a line.

And if we’re going to just go killing characters, then why not just kill the whole cast because every character in OUAT could be perceived as boring in their own way….Regina is too snarky and sarcastic, Rumple is just a mustache twirling baddie, Emma is a doe eyed loving fool, Snow is beyond selfish, Charming is dumb as bricks, Belle is nothing but a plain book worm, Henry is just there to be there, and Zelena is just….Zelena! Every character could be considered boring in their own way. but if they are perceived as such, then the fault lies with the writers who instead of killing the situation, should try to resolve the issue by writing them in a finer style.
To compare the character of Robin Hood with Rumple, Regina, and the rest of the main cast, is just criminal. None of those characters are boring. All those characteristics of being love happy, selfish, dumb, snarky are all characteristics. It’s what separates them from everyone else. It’s what makes them unique. What on earth is Robin? A good father. Ok, we like rarely see that but ok. What about his personality? Other than being a thief in a past life, he doesn’t have a personality. Mainly because he rarely speaks. All he’s done since the end of season 3 is hold up his arrow and threaten to shoot it. Robin has had like 1 flashback. It’s ok to kill off a boring character. He could not be boring, but he is and that’s the writer’s fault. And Henry was a side note for Regina for the entire first half of this season. Last episode was different and I think it’s setting us up for a better relationship with those two once Robin kicks the bucket.
If that “boring” character has two kids, well three because Lana and Sean agreed Henry is like one of Robin’s own, and is unfortunately considered to be the only hope for love for Regina, then it wouldn’t be the best move to make. Had Robin Hood been a character like Jefferson, just a side character with no real connections to the Core Cast, then there’s a low chance they could get away with it, however that is not the case.
If he has no lines, give him lines. If all he does is threaten to shoot a bow and arrow, have him shoot the bow and arrow. The fault lies with Adam and Eddy, that much we can agree on, but instead of just rushing to off the man, how about they try to first improve him.

And I’ll just leave it at this. It is absolutely the writer’s own fault for feeling they can’t develop Robin as an intriguing character on screen. But as a fan, and a viewer of the show, I could care less that they are killing off good parents frequently. If Robin is boring to watch, why shouldn’t I be happy that they are getting rid of him? I want to watch exciting things. It is the writer’s fault for him being boring, no doubt. But as a fan, I want to watch intriguing television and he is too boring to care about. And it will be an emotional death and I think it will force the writers to actually acknowledge that Henry still exists in Regina’s world. Now if we only could get rid of Hook so Emma can do the same.
Ummm…I don’t think they ever forgot Henry exists in Regina’s world…last episode kind of showed that. Henry will always come first for Regina….now as for him coming first for Emma, well I don’t know about that.
And the issue with killing off all of the good parents is the fact that it sends out morally corrupt messages to the youth watching this series. And if Adam and Eddy’s only way of dealing with “boring” characters is to kill or write them off completely, then they certainly are not qualified to be hailed as master storytellers like they think they are.
And if we’re going to just go killing characters, then why not just kill the whole cast because every character in OUAT could be perceived as boring in their own way….Regina is too snarky and sarcastic, Rumple is just a mustache twirling baddie, Emma is a doe eyed loving fool, Snow is beyond selfish, Charming is dumb as bricks, Belle is nothing but a plain book worm, Henry is just there to be there, and Zelena is just….Zelena! Every character could be considered boring in their own way. but if they are perceived as such, then the fault lies with the writers who instead of killing the situation, should try to resolve the issue by writing them in a finer style.
Hell just look at Will Scarlett, we all know how his actor feels about what happened to his character. Adam and Eddy are just not good at these sort of things.

I’m assuming Robin’s alleged death will be important and will affect the story, especially Regina’s.
If we hadn’t seen, in the past, deaths that were totally unimportant and did not affect the story of characters, then I’d agree that this is a fair assumption. Death in narrative can absolutely mean something. It can have weight and power and drive storyline for a long time. However, that’s not what we see in OUAT a fair amount of the time. I’m not even just talking about Neal’s death. Many deaths get reflected upon for maybe one episode (and even, maybe only a fraction of that episode) and then the story tends to forget how death impacts people because shiny shiny plot. If Robin is dying (and goodness knows it looks that way now) then I have serious reservations that the show will “make it count” as it were.
Twenty cookies we get a time skip for Season 6 where Regina and Zelena are suddenly best friends, and over Robin’s death, raising Roland and Baby Greenbean together. Emma and Hook will more than likely be engaged, Rumbelle will be stronger than ever, probably raising their new son, and Snowing will be happily raising Snowflake. Then that’s when our Season 6 Villain arrives, throwing a wrench in everyone’s happiness.

Regina looks like one of those extremely rich women who gets upset their daughter wants to marry a middle class person. Basically, she’s dressed as cora if cora lived in the modern world.
This! This is basically an ensemble Regina stole out of her mother’s closet!

Let me guess…Robin is taken to replace Hook ;(
This would be wrong on so many levels and would be extremely selfish of Emma to let it happen. She would deprive two children of their father just so that she could get her pirate back. If Robin dies because of Emma’s decision to go to the underworld to retrieve Hook then his death should be on Emma’s conscience forever.
You’d think seeing what her mother did/cost Regina would make Emma forever cautious not to make the same mistake….she managed to weasel herself out of the whole bringing back Marian/Zelena fiasco, but this….I don’t know what could save her from this.

Its hilarious every ship wants to make this title about them however “Only You” is canon swanfire song. But while most shippers are gleeflully trying to making it about their ship. Swanfire is over here like great another swanfire thing that probably be given away….. A swanfire thing that swanfire did not asked for… I be at the bar while waiting for Game of Silence
This! I see CaptainSwan trying to claim it, OutlawQueen trying to claim it, even Snowing trying to claim it….and I’m just like, did you forget who really owns this song? Canon wise anyway?
Only You maybe used for other ship videos, but it is Swanfire’s song first and foremost! This was Neal & Emma’s song!

What I’m curious about is what Hades meant when he said that each time the clock ticks the UW loses a soul. Why would that be, I wonder?My biggest guess is that the Underworldians are supposed to be able to finish their unfinished business somehow, however Hades probably cursed the world to where none of them would get the opportunity to do so, therefore whoever enters would be trapped forever…least until he grows bored and throws you into Hell. Basically, the Underworld is a game where you cannot win, and his fear of Regina is probably because she’s the most likely unfinished business for the Underworldians that were killed by her, therefore she poses the greatest threat to his kingdom. Well, not just Regina, probably Rumpelstilskin too which would explain why when Belle and Neal resurrected Rumple, Hades wouldn’t have put up much of a fight trading a threat out of his kingdom for the threat’s son.
