With all due respect to Jane Espenson, I shouldn't have to read the screenwriter's Twitter feed to follow the show.
I mean, I thought it was a regular Taser in a movie prop sorta way (like the "guns" used in movies.) It looked like a Taser and it acted like a Taser. If it wasn't a Taser it should have shot glowy purple stuff or something. Admittedly this particular episode also had the worst special effects of the show so far (what on earth were they thinking about with that dragon?) so maybe they thought they couldn't carry it off, but still: limit the dragon bit to some red smoke coming out of his mouth, avoid the whole levitating dragon business, and spend that money on purple Tasers instead, and the episode might have worked a tiny bit better.
Well, ok, we still would have had the whole creepiness of Pinocchio becoming a little boy again and getting a second chance after all the crap he did just because of one moment of bravery, not to mention my ongoing, um, has anyone told Regina that Gold is Henry's grandfather, not to mention my question that if it's so difficult to get into Storybrooke (I figure the one new stranger was grandfathered in because he was in the general Storybrooke area when the curse landed) how did this new girl make it, with or without bagels, and the ongoing question of how exactly are they getting the gas to power their cars, and does the town have a movie theater or are they all watching films on their iPhones and...and I'll shut up now.
