SPOILERS for OUAT 1x15 Red-Handed
Note: Please click on the image to be taken to the source.
1. Wow. Just, wow. This was hands-down the best episode of OUAT in a long, long time.
2. I loved the twist. At first, because of something Granny said, I thought in Fairytaleland the wolves were known to migrate, or something (and to be honest, I don't like stories where they persecute wolves, because I went through a wolf-lover phase for a few years and among many other things, learned that a wolf attack is not very likely). And then they spin it into a werewolf? Awesome. I definitely would not have thought it was Red if I hadn't been Wikipedia-ing at the same time and accidentally spoiled myself five minutes before we were shown that Red was the wolf. Damn.
3. I don't care much for the character of Peter, but only because I thought the actor playing him was kind of weak. I wasn't convinced that he would have done anything for Red - I know he asked Red to tie him up with chains (kinky) to make sure he didn't hurt anyone else... but his performance fell flat in that scene, and I just didn't buy his delivery. They are cute together in all the other scenes, though.
4. MEGHAN ORY. MEGHAN ORY, WHY ARE YOU SO AMAZING? LOOK AT THIS HERE:
Exhibit (A). Just look at how happy she is to see Peter! Her smile - especially the one she gives him after she kisses him - is so fucking genuine, it makes me want to cry. And smile back. Four for you, Meghan Ory. (Also, I might be a little distracted by the way his hand sort of caresses her arm).
Also, I liked that Red's story was about finding herself. And
this whole scene here just sort of resonated with me.
5. Is anybody else shipping the hell out of Red & Snow? BECAUSE I AM. SHAMELESSLY. If you need convincing,
click here.
And here. Oh,
and here too.
This scene is my favourite. Also, listen to the music in the first scene they meet. It's like a fucking love ballad, I swear to you.
I ship it. A lot.
I WANT TO MAKE A WALLPAPER. WHERE CAN I GET SCREENCAPS?
6. The
divorced lesbian parents make a return this episode.
7. Did anyone else love that scene where Mary Margaret was all like, "Come stay with us, Red!" and Emma was like, "Uh, excuse me, what?"
8. Also, check out this video, which is awesome and basically makes the show seem like it's 100x better than it actually is:

THE SECRET CIRCLE; SPOILERS UP TO 1x04 (and please don't spoil me past that)
1. Speaking of gay shows... This show is really, really gay.
2. I am convinced that the lady principle aka Natasha Henstridge had a thing for Amelia at one point. The way she said they were "good friends" kind of makes me have ideas. They probably shared a lot of ~lady feelings back in the day. And by lady feelings, I mean sex. Hot sex in the back of the car.
3. The use of the term "practicing magic" is making me LOL. Is anyone else having Willow/Tara flashbacks?
4. I think Adam and Cassie are kind of boring, tbh. I mean, their characters. Separately. Together. Whatever. Does this improve as the show goes along?
5. Faye is awesome. I love her a lot. I also ship Faye/Diana. (Though ngl, I ship Faye with pretty much everyone). This video has the right idea (warning - video may have spoilers past 1x04):
