Oh, right…maybe Rumple just wanted to hide the egg in Maleficent since the true love potion is extremely powerful magic, and he didn't want Regina (or someone else) to get their hands on it.  As far as I know, the only other place he keeps his potions is at home in his pantry, and Regina knows where he lives.
I think

Yeah, I feel like the grim business of child death was probably why they didn't kill off Henry.  I can't remember the last time I've seen a child character die on network TV.

When Rumple dumped the love potion in the well, I naively thought he was going to ask for his son back…

That was probably the ideal moment for them to kiss, since Rumple is significantly more attractive without his clown make-up on.  Also, as he had no powers, Rumple had nothing to lose at the time.  In a post-purple-cloud world, they will probably be right back where they started relationship-wise.

No need to fret over August. Geppetto will fix him! He has the technology!

Rumple took out the purple potion, and then he put the empty egg in the chest and left it in his shop since I assume only the potion would fit in his pocket.

I really like Jennifer too.  Her facial expressions are priceless!  Sadly, her character is poorly written, and it's sad that Emma's naivety tends to set the plot in motion.  At this point, Emma is so inept in a law-enforcement role that I find it hard to believe she was ever a successful bail bondsman.  Also, her

My guess is he started the transformation process, but was then engulfed by the fallout of Rumple's glitterbomb.  He is likely in a muppet-like state.

Huge twist..Henry's father turns out to be Daniel?

It baffles me a little why Regina cries over Henry so much after the
curse was broken.  I got the impression that part of her "curse" in
Storybrooke was that the person she loved the most i.e. Henry, the
"reincarnation" of her father, would never love her in return.  Now that
the curse is broken, shouldn't she be able

@drdarke Oh yeah, I forgot about Hastings—kudos to you for remembering that character!  Bringing her back could be neat; I assume she's given up moonlighting as a superhero.  Although, a part of me does want to see her don the Lone Vengeance get-up one last time and clobber Gates… :)
Maybe Gates could partner her with

It's true that Bones has more developed secondary characters, each of whom have some sort of backstory or personality quirks (my favorite has always been Hodgins), but I think this is mostly due to the fact that the Booth-Brennan relationship didn't engulf all others on the show.  They've made time for plenty of

It was disappointing when they killed off Nigel-Murray, but even that death was nowhere near as powerful as when they got rid of Zack.  The "squinterns" are rotated so frequently, I feel like it's hard to get attached to any of them, or watch them develop meaningful bonds with other characters, like the Zack-Hodgins'

I don't know…I can't really think of anything Bones has done in a more entertaining or more believable way than Castle, aside from explaining the hiring process of their interns, and the fact that Cam is a slightly less irritating boss than Gates.

Fillion actually looks a lot less bloated in interviews.  Poor lighting and simply being tired while filming seems like the culprit to me.  I imagine he is probably too warm in those big jackets too, which could be causing him to retain water.  
That's the most I'll say on the subject—complaining about his weight seems

Now that Beckett and Espo are out of the way,  Ryan has only Gates left to handle.  Then he & his 3 piece suit are next in line to take over the precinct!

I started watching Castle in Season 3 by accident, and it was the comedic timing of the cast that hooked me.  Episodes like "Punked" felt like they had crossed a police procedural with Dick Van Dyke Show-style antics.  It just felt like classic fun.

That's probably true, but as someone who genuinely likes this show I feel the need to lovingly poke fun at its foibles, and also press for the writers to raise the quality of their work whenever possible.
Ideally, I would like to ensure the longevity of Castle, and reduce the embarrassment I feel for religiously

…Unless it's someone known to the main characters: then he/she's an innocent victim until the eventual double-crossing. 

I noticed that too…Beckett never actually said "I love you" back.
