It's only been five days? What the shit? At least Belle gets that undoing and death aren't the same and their relationship still squicks me right the fuck out. AAAASSSSTRID! Wondering where you'd gotten to. Two sinister boys in a 70's car. They're like evil Winchesters. And dwarves digging! And Grumpy makes a whistling joke! And Belle successfully casts are really obvious spell. So nice of them to leave their bumper behind. They're kind a Beat looking.
Rumple's being unusually smart.
Pan has a timetable? Hm. I can't figure Felix out.
Be more obvious, Hook. Be more obvious, Snow. I'm pretty pleased she's still pissed at Charming. If he hadn't been so stubborn, they could have made the cure decision together.
I like how the dwarves totally point out how peaceful it is without the mains. Although I think they'd do better blaming Regina for the chaos. Grumpy's loyalty is d'awwww. So, how does Peter communicate with these two Ginsbergs?
OMG GRANNY! HI GRANNY I MISSED YOU. I love Belle's wardrobe and how obvious it is that it's built out of vintage clothes Gold had in his shop. Yay! Delivery made! Hologram! Poor Belle's been feeling a little incompetent.
It's a little weird Charming's calling her Mary Margaret when he'd known her as Snow longer. She's right about Emma and Charming's tunnel vision.
Henry's being oddly intelligent. And wary. I'm happy about that.
Hook, you're a dick. Not that I would call a kiss a dalliance. Especially not when the intent was "this one time as a thank you because that was amazing" rather than, you know, lust or something. Sunshine Valley is what you can rename it, Emma, when you get home.
Ariel! Being fascinated! By stuff! And telling Belle about Erik so she can find him after this all goes to shit! CHIP O HAI! Nice key. Box! Box with gears! Pandora's box? No, no, oh shit no. Why the fucking hell does Rumple have that? Hope? Hope will defeat Peter? I guess that makes sense, if feeling Lost means having lost hope. Is Hope evil? From a certain point of view. It can be kind of delusiony. So, if Rumple has Pandora's box, does that mean we're going to see Herc and Megara at some point? Do we really need the Pectorals From (there are no Greek place-names I know of that rhyme with any muscle names).
So the Ginsbergs are former Lost Boys. Got it. Love Ariel not knowing about guns.
Great gods DAMN Henry is being perspicacious this week. It's really obvious the actor is growing fast. He looks like a grown-up hulking through those bushes.
Emma and Hook have piles more chemistry than Emma and Neal. I love him as a gentleman. James Hook always was, so why shouldn't Killian Jones be. Not enough Tarantella-ing. Dark Hollow doesn't look so dark. I imagine that red filter gets a tad maddening after a while.
Aw, come on, Belle, you freed Philip from being a fire beast okay. Great plan, Belle! And she knows where they're going!
Ginny gives great pissy face. How have those arrows not punched through the bottom of that backpack after five days? I had a blunt knife in a cloth bag, and it went through in a day. This is a great fight, BTW. They're angry but still honestly communicating. And they make up.
Oh, it's not absence of light darkness, it's let's all be dickweeds right now darkness. Shadow's kind of scary. I wonder where Rumple's shadow is. How much volition to shadows have? How much of their Person's personality to they retain?
Shadow steals other shadows? What does involuntary shadowectomy do to a person? Emma! Did you just start a fire without getting angry? Yay! The Savior Saves!
It's always that random twig. Felix is totally going to lead Henry into trouble instead of wherever he was actually going.
Hot damn Belle is brilliant. OH MY GODS THE GINSBERGS ARE JOHN AND MICHAEL. WENDY'S IN THE OTHER CAGE. OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG I don't like this Wendy so much. The Wendy from the book and the original movie would have told Peter he was being naughty and sent him to bed without any supper. I kind of feel like creating a Peter who isn't constantly searching for a mother removes the core of the character.
Bye, Ariel! Belle will find Erik for you while you're gone.
Henry, Henry, you were being so smart. Don't touch the bag, Henry. Don't start being dumb now. Sometimes that Charming compassion makes things worse. Trap. Trap. Poor Wendy. All lies. Fuck.
Regina and Rumple know exactly where to stab each other. It is magnificent and heartbreaking. And Regina actually kept her end of the bargain. Amazing. Yes! Get the competent ones on the Wendy Rescue Squad. Operation Wendybird!
And Emma chooses Henry. Probably the best choice of the three. I really, really, really want some BB!Bae in Neverland flashbacks, and not just because he's a far and away better character than Neal.
Peter is grooming Henry so thoroughly that poor kid's going to be completely fucked up for a couple more seasons after this. SKULL ROCK! Another lie.
So next week looks bananas. Are we already to mid-season hiatus?
