@avclub-087970e21971cc19e2427e2fee6ba71c:disqus Exactly.  You can call it what you want, but my idea of what the Initiative is hasn't changed.  We just know that Conrad is in on it all now.

When she spit in his face, I was like "You go, girl!"

I'm excited by the ship too.  They're gonna band together and get stuff done!

Please, please, please can Regina, Hook, and Rumpel not be evil anymore?  We've got the Lost Ones and the shadow now for that, and I'm thinking that Neverland's mermaids will come straight out of the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Next season, Mother Nature gets pissed that her forest was taken away from her AGAIN and sends Pocahontas to Storybrooke as an eco-warrior.  Will Belle be able to save the town with the power of books?  We'll just have to wait and see.

I'm super confused by the revelation that Greg and Tamara were basically working for Peter Pan.

So, Baelfire is A LOT older than Emma, right?  Gross.

We don't know where Baelfire ended up.  Aurora and Mulan were going to track Phillip down by seeking out the dimension where souls go when they're taken by a wraith.  I suppose that that happened, but who knows where they are now?  It would be convenient if they were already in Neverland.  I bet we're going to get a…

People don't age on Neverland, right?  And that's where Henry's gone.  :-(

I think I would have liked this episode more if it was called "The Revue" and was actually about the revue / Tom / Julia / Ivy's image.  Smash didn't need to call the episode "The Transfer" or focus on the Daisy / Ana drama.  Just tell me that Hit List went to Broadway, and you can show a little of Derek figuratively…

"Jimmy is less of a dick but he still pissed me off when he expected Julia to help him out some more.  Bitch, she was doing you a favor.  Be grateful."  Right!

Scott pulls an underhanded trick to make Hit List more successful and he's gone the next episode; Eileen pulls an underhanded trick to make Bombshell more successful and she gets to end the ep smirking ('cause Anjelica Huston in it till the end).

I was actually feeling for Jimmy when he came back to his place for the first time since Kyle's death.  (Thinking about it now, it was kinda weird that Julia just needed to see a notecard with the word "NEWSREEL" on it to remember Kyle's social-media idea, but at least it forced Jimmy to deal.)

Then, really he should do it all again, the right way.

"You're a Marilyn, not a Norma Jean," goes from meaning "You're a depressed, alcoholic stripper" to being a sincere compliment in this one episode.

Oh my God, they're texting me!  Can you believe it?!  They're texting me!  I got a text!  A text from them!  About the show!  Oh my God!  Right now, while I'm watching it!  [gets up, jumps up and down, barely restrains all-out glee meltdown]  They're texting me!

Aside from Will and Grace, the most success Messing had was with Ned and Stacey (before W&G, obviously).  If she wants success again, she needs to be the lead actress in a show titled [man's name] and [woman's name].  Is anyone thinking of turning Benny and Joon into a TV show?

If Ana or Daisy is just "the Diva" to us at this point, I figured Sam was just "the Suit."  I hope Kyle made up names before he died because nobody wants to write this show now that he's gone.

I almost fastforwarded through the commercial, but something told me I was actually watching the show.  Thank you, god of product placement, for the feeling that stayed my finger.

You know that Turner satellite will come back in the sequel.
