The only thing I can figure is that they are keeping her there so she doesn't go running out of town screaming about magic.

Greg has been MIA for the past couple of episodes.  I theorize he is hiding in Belle's room waiting for more magic while she sleeps all day and night.

No, did not want that plot twist at all.  I am so glad that is one popular fan theory the writers ignored.

I think we're talking about the first season episode about Red, not that terrible filler one from this season.

I think this speech was to throw a bone to us Rumbelle loving viewers.  But I also saw it as a way to show the differences between Rumple's love with Cora and Belle. In Cora, he saw someone who was just like him- craving power, willing to eliminate anybody in the way, using dark magic.  However, Belle reminded him why…

Definitely the strongest episode of the season.  I hope this continues through the end of the season.  After rewatching some of Season 1 back over the holidays, I think having the Evil Queen be really evil helps the show.  I like her as a Big Bad and Mr. Gold as the ambiguous character.

That line made me roll my eyes too.  Although I figured the purpose was to introduce Nealfire to The Charmings without a long awkward meet the parents scene.

Lennie James does one of the best American/Southern accents by a British actor that I have ever heard.

It feels like the show may getting a little momentum again, which is good.  Bailee Madison was great as Young Snow.

Episode 17 is the flashback to 1983 with the Huntsman.  Episode 18 is where we will see August again.

This all sounds good.  I hope it lives up to the promise.

Uh, T-Dog already died.  No need to worry.

I don't know.  Yeun and Cohan aren't bad, and I think Rooker does a good job with the racist redneck.

I enjoyed watching the episode, but I didn't it find it to be the huge, shocking hour that was hyped all week.  I like any episode that focuses on Rumple, but I actually liked The Crocodile and The Outsider more.

What was with the slow-motion handshake party at the end?  I had to laugh.

Yeah, I was bummed that the episode that showed Belle using reading to outwit everyone ended with her losing her memory.  And she is still clueless in the hospital with no one really caring except shady Greg.

Totally agree.  Carlyle totally sold this without having to say anything, but Henry's questions about magic and his son were there to help us slow viewers who couldn't figure it out.

Yeah, I guess they are thinking it is safest to keep Belle locked up and tranquilized in the hospital rather than actually watching her.  I thought they would have at least moved her to Granny's or something and given her a job there or back at the library.  But I am just biased because the Rumple/Belle relationship…

I know Henry gets a lot of hate, but I found it kind of funny he asked the questions we would all ask Gold and that set Gold off on his bathroom rage.  Also, how does Henry know about Cinnabon?  Did the curse provide Storybrooke with chain restaurants?

Love "Greg Muggle."  Also agree on all your Belle points.  Was so disappointed to see her treated this way after really enjoying last week's episode.
