This weeks (and last weeks) episode made me very sad. I miss Graham already. His plot line became really sad their at the end. I have always liked Regina/Evil Queen, even though she was the villain, I thought she was pretty BAMF. While, I guess she still is, Im rethinking my likeness on her after this episode, idk.

I always thought that David was in a coma because of the injury he got right before the curse was put in place and his whole life with Katherine (photos, etc) was all fake, just like the rest of the curse did with the memories and whatnot.

The thing with David that's weird is that he actually seems to 'remember' - which -- I don't know, did staring at the window in Gold's business reprogram him, like he's Boomer with her sleeper program? cuz as we know from Graham and MM, they can't remember how they met, and their memories in Storybrooke are vague. So how does David then remember something that never happened? I mean, it would make some sense if he half-remembered Abigail/Katherine as someone he's supposed to be married to, because that was true (even if he didn't end up with her), but he seemed to remember more than that. Anyway, I'm sure we'll find out more, but it still seems like he's a different case than the rest of them.

Heh, I know people like villains (and heaven knows, it's a cottage industry to 'redeem' them back from their evil-ness), and I enjoy Regina, too. But right now, SHE KILLED GRAHAM FOR LOUSY REASONS and I am PUT OUT. ;D

IDK, I think they tried to explain it in that episode about his memories, but Im sure they will go further into it at another point.

Yeah, she was a villain the i loved to hate, but now pretty much just hate. I dont support anything she did with Graham. From making him her sex-slave to killing him because he dumped her. Im over her now. :(

He remembers things that didn't happen because of the curse. The curse gave him and Kathryn a specific backstory (married, argued, he was in an accident), so there would be specific "memories" to remember.

I thought this weeks episode was the most interesting yet since it explains that "yes, apparently some PEOPLE DO remember" that they are fairy tale characters.

Also, the fact that they're starting to remember...the backstory was awesome

but he was soooo cute!!

AND Boardwalk Empire...i can't believe that Jimmy is dead...i was hoping that Nucky would kill his brother. BUMMER!!

so, what's to stop him now...other than his wife

yes, exactly. the memories ARE there in each character (though I think MM/David definitely hinted at this). And they can remember.

*sniff* poor Graham.

Re: Boardwalk. That was pretty amazing. I'm glad they did it that way, I think, since Jimmy was a tragedy all the way through, and I guess I'd find it hard to buy that Nucky'd let him go after all that. But yeah, it was still a shock. It's going to be hard for any other character to step into his slot, I think.

But I do hope Nucky v Margaret will be interesting next season - now that she's dispensed with her guilt and she knows Nucky's not honest with her anymore, it frees her to go back to the shreweder Margaret from before.

yeah...i think he liked that about her but she will certainly be an adversary. I HATED Jimmy's mom and she is so screwed up and i hope she gets her comeuppance, ya know?

I guess next year will be about Nucky vs. Margaret and maybe getting into the herion trade. I'm not sure...

OH GOD, Jimmy's mom, was she THE WORST or what? *shiver* And the thought of her raising Jimmy's son is just HORRIFYING on the creep meter. I rarely want a character DEAD but talk about someone who needs killing before that poison spreads to the next generation...

I'm sad because the huntsman looked really pretty in fairy tale world :p

which makes me think that Emma should've been the one to kiss David/James, and then I remember he's her dad
I always forget about how Emma is connected to them lol. Like when Henry said "you kissed my mom???" (and lol he also banged your adoptive mother, kid)

HE DID LOOK VERY PRETTY. unf.

and that wolf was very pretty, too. In a different pretty way. :)

But yeah, i am very glad that Emma was clued into their possible parental connection to them RIGHT AWAY (and the audience too, to spare us the unintentional incest fics, lol.) Even if she doesn't fully believe it, at least she knows and feels a connection, seems like.

But then, for a moment, I thought Regina was Snow's birth mother and I was like NO WAI, it came as a relief when it was clarified as STEP- mother.

Yeah, I am having a hard time reconciling my liking of Regina with the bit where she made Graham her sex slave.

That aside, though, I like how it's still somewhat about how Emma's connections with people are bringing things about (not to mention her reluctance at being caught in the middle)

And Regina's reaction is so childish, though I suppose she did make that promise of retribution, it seems... flawed, in execution.

I like her, but not as a hero, I guess is the difference? She's like Cain, to me, in that I think she's a good character and interesting, (and Regina's more fun in her EEEEVIL) but I would hate her in person.

and heh, Emma's connected to half the town by blood, alone. Guess she has to make out with the rest of them to break the curse. lol

(it reminded me of the Minbari city from B5
OMG that's what it reminded me of! I've been going nuts trying to figure it out lol.

So do you think Regina is going to have a similarly violent reaction when the next person remembers? Or is it just Graham's leaving her that spurred this violence?
