OUAT - The Heart of the Truest Believer

[chloris]

An excellent week for tv watching! All my favorite shows had premieres in the past week! And I loved every singe one of the them. *squishes my shows* I only have the energy do a OUAT right now though. Maybe I'll do a little squee for the others, just know that I loved the premieres of Castle, Elementary (damn, I love Joan. and sherlock. and mycroft

thank you my dear chloris! you gave me strength to look this episode. because (to be honest) i really was afraid they mede something awful. :)
i recorded this episode on my hard disc, but was too covard to see this. you made me brave. thank you.:-)

[chloris]

I hope you enjoyed the episode! I did truly love it and how they worked with all the characters on the boat. We'll have to see how the episodes hang together and the arcs develop. I think that the new format of the split season is going to help by keeping them more focused and allowing us to see the episodes in quick succession. (Last season hung together much better when watched without long gaps in between.)

do you think this will be last seaon of OUaT or they thinking about more? what's your impression?

[chloris]

I think more. But it all depends on their ratings this season and if they can put together a coherent arc. If they at least hold steady I think one or two more seasons. ABC owns the show and they are looking towards streaming rights and DVD sales.

*HUGS* Missed you!

I loved Elementary and OUAT! I'm going to have to rewatch Elementary again. I love Rhys Ifans playing the part of Mycroft.

And OUAT! That was a really good episode! I kind of figured out that the boy trying to help Henry was Peter Pan.

I also liked the part where Aurora told Neil, "You're Henry's father?" What I would like to know is how they got Prince Philip back?

[chloris]

Missed you too!

I completely adored Elementary and Mycroft was perfect. They even stood the same. And you could feel the history between them in every interaction.

Heh, I am the perfect dupe of a viewer because I even saw a picture of the actor a while back and still didn't realize it was Peter during the episode. It is sometimes rather enjoyable to be easily fooled since I get the a-ha moment on the reveal.

I would like to know how they got him back too but part of OUAT is that they do go back and fill in holes so I'm willing to wait patiently for that hole to fill. (Though I do hope they plan to fill it this season.)

wasn't it brilliant! I loved the line to her parents too; it's not a bad point! ohh scary and sad rumple

[chloris]

They feel like they should be more knowledgeable than her but of course they aren't! And I think Snow has more trouble with it than Charming - probably a combo of actually being more knowledgeable when they were in FTL together and expecting to raise Emma until she came early and they had to put her in the wardrobe alone.

What got me is that that he wasn't angry at all in the Tamara scene. He was so calm and and determined. It was a cold and calculated murder.

I didn't see it at the time but I see now that both Henry and Emma took a leap of faith this episode. Whatever belief Henry has, Emma has it too. I mean she was certain she wouldn't drown.

Why were the mermaids so angry? And is the stone!mermaid gone for good?

I still feel for Owen.

Someone else mentioned it somewhere but I liked Rumpel's little sarcastic flourish too. It's like he's reluctant to be who he was, but it's still who he is and he will crush the hearts of many to get his grandson, especially since he thinks Neal is dead.

Good ep.

[chloris]

Yes they did! It was nicely bookended just like the first scene where Emma could be a mother and then the end where she owned that identity. I don't know if she was certain but she had FAITH - Rumpel prodded her to be willing to put aside what she knows and take a leap (though I doubt he meant it literally) by telling her she couldn't do it.

The mermaids in Peter Pan are capricious and dangerous creature so who knows? Maybe they recognized Hook's ship? He was there for a long time and they clearly don't like each other.

His little flourish seemed weary to me. He is no longer interested in the trappings and misdirections of being The Dark One. His long labors have been for naught (as far as he knows) and he is on his way to his death (as far as he believes). This is all business.

[daybreak777]

Aww, poor Rumpel. :-(

I'm loving both POI and OUAT this season so far, as well.

When did time stop in Storybrooke? Was it the day Henry was born?

I'm also wondering about the doll Rumple was given. I wonder if it was Bae's.

I agree with everything you said.

Why the heck did Emma jump, anyway? Was she just trying to cause a distraction and get their attention?

[chloris]

I haven't seen episode two of POI yet but the premiere was awesome. I really, truly love all the characters and can't wait to see what sort of arc they have going this season.

When did time stop? Storybrooke was created with time stopped. No time ever passed until Emma came to town. Which is why everyone is the same age they were when the curse was cast.

To get their attention. To stop the fighting which was powering the storm/and then the storm was powering the fighting. (Nice feedback loop there.) And to take that leap of faith that Rumpel told her she was incapable of taking. She jumped fully BELIEVING that her parents would stop everything and save her. According to Rumpel she wasn't going to last a day in Neverland without being able to believe without proof so this was important.
