JTF is great!  Wayne Brady … meh.  I give him a C+.  Christina Applegate wasn't too bad when she's been on.

"I was totally shocked that they had an animator battle and kept both of them!  That was a completely unscripted, spontaneous moment!" said no one.

Hannah was similar to Zooey when she's been a guest judge; love her on New Girl, but not too insightful on the panel.

Vera Farmiga's monologue to the potheads, Goo Goo Dolls, high Emma, Juno, Vera purse-whipping Matt, and Jere Burns politely saying "Goodnight" FTW!

I thought the tutu guy's performance was over praised, too.  Somewhat artistic, yes, but without the tutu … *shrugs shoulders*.

Agreed.  I hate when they cut away to the audience "watching."  It's
always spliced in b-roll that was more than likely shot earlier.  I was
at a taping of a concert once for MTV and that's what we did, so I never
really trust those cut-aways.

Yes, it seems to me that the writer's have written enough good in them to fight for at this point that I can't imagine them being the straight up villains when the show eventually ends.  Too bad that the "good" they're fighting for is *sigh* Henry.

A talking llama is just what this show needs to save it!  Love that movie.

Spot on.  With everything.  I didn't understand either why they just assumed Neal was dead.  The writers can't believe their audience is that stupid … … … um, well … … … *clears throat.*

Kinda fell flat at the end, with a reveal we all knew was coming sooner or later, but felt unexciting and loveless (despite probably being the perfect time to have this particular plot "twist.").

Maybe if Henry's reunited with his shadow, he'll suddenly become a better actor, like when Cora finally got her heart back and her final few seconds after getting it back and while dying were Barbara Hershey's finest acting during her whole character's run.  I can't count the number of times I despised her acting as…

Absolutely watch it for the absurdity.  When you have low expectations, the only place you can go is up.

I think my first words when Tamara opened up that portal under Neal was, "Well, that was ironic."

I'm remembering Neal/Baelfire saying, when they were leaving NYC, that he learned how to sail, which conveniently brought them back to Storybrooke.

~Ladies and gentlemen, Once Upon A Time dialogue in a nutshell: Snow: “Why do you have one of Regina’s tears?” Rumpelstiltskin: “Because I do.”~

Shhhhhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn …

I'm warming up to all the Psycho-seeds being dropped.  Norman "becoming" his mother walking away from Bradley, even responding to Bradley as his mom ("I don't think you're a nice girl."), I liked; even the high-pitched tone played underneath worked for me, even if it is kind of Horcrux-y.  The camera work, too, for…

Anyone else have the same thought I had, that Charlie Bucket looks like he's a terrible kisser?

To me, it's Alexis Bledel meets Kate Winslet.

D+ is generous.  The "conveniences" in this episode were rampantly frustrating; e.g. Regina happening to be in the right place as a shape-shifted fisherman to overhear Charming and Snow, Regina wiping Henry's mind (the only reason to have that scene was to introduce the "fail safe," which its existence in itself is a…
