Once Upon A Time "We Are Both" review/thoughts

[kilodalton]

This season is still good, but slightly confusing in places XD
[Spoiler (click to open)]

1. "I will not listen to childcare lectures from a man who put his daughter in a box and shipped her to Maine." LOL.
2. Regina's mom is really creepy. She clearly believes she's doing the right thing. Kind of ironic how Regina becomes so much worse of a person than even her mom seems to be, and

6. Yep. And I ship them as a bad and twisted ship so I'm happy!

7. He definitely planned to leave. He talked about a few times towards the end of last season and was packing maps and bags in this episode. The whole curse is a plan to find his son after all and he can't do that stuck in Storybrooke. :)

8. Jefferson was in the finale so we know he was in Storybrooke as of the curse breaking. No idea what happened to him in Hat Trick though - that was never explained.

11. Cora went through the Looking Glass so I'd say she was absolutely in a different dimension (which I pretty positive is Wonderland). However, that was 15 years ago so who knows what she has been up to since.

Re: 7: they implied that Rumple wanted he curse to happen so he could follow his son into the non-magical dimension, hut then he had to wait until the curse was broken to go looking for him...and now he finds he is still stuck there. So I would assume that that is the source of his frustration (and we saw him looking at the maps earlier).

For me the most confusing part was where these new flashbacks fit into the timeline established by the last Regina back story epoch, when we saw her trying on her wedding dress.

I thought that Rumpel was upset because being unable to leave without becoming Mr Gold permanently would mean he wouldn't be able to see Bae again.

Rumpel *was* creeping on Regina, but that's because she's the firstborn child of the miller's daughter...you have to know the original tale of Rumpelstiltskin. Besides, Robert Carlyle has chemistry with everybody. It's ridiculous.

I thought Cora was the Queen of Hearts in Wonderland, so IDK why she showed up at the end...

Oh, now I want to see dark!Henry too!

I'd heard Pinnochio wouldn't be the same as in S1 and I so liked August in the end that this distresses me ;_; I hope he's not too upset about being wood again to search out his dad - too sad!

Watching Regina give Henry his freedom, I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, 'cause she's so very very rarely shown to be repentant or giving or caring. So very nice to see it finally!
