I definitely needed some wine with that cheese!

How she became a fairy makes no sense. She just grabs a wand, says a few words and BAM she turns into one? I think the rehashing of "do what I can to protect you because I love you and become evil in the process" is kind of weak. And then following this whole thing: wasn't the prophecy that she was going to kill…

I really don't get why they're writing this Gideon as a bad guy who wants to be a good guy who wants to kill a bad guy and doing it in a bad guy way. I mean, all he had to do at the beginning is ask for help, which is basically what he did here.

The whole Diana thing was very confusing. So the Destroyer wanted the stick, but also Diana? And she was cool with it? And she was cool with lettign him kill Renard and Adelind…. "Yup, I'm off with him…see ya!" And her rapid aging stopped at 10 or whatever age she was? To be honest, I would rather have seen the…

The CGI ogres were pretty cool, but a pointless flashback just to have a pointless parallel is just old. Other than that I thought the Rumble-centricity of the present was pretty good.

This episode was waaaay to sappy and overly dramatic and acted for me. And predictable - who didn't see Hook's involvement coming?

Poltergeist!

"I would like to practice my English"… Then cringeworthy perfect English for a scene like this!

Did they really have to get that literal (pun intended?) and have the creator's last name be Shelley?

- I liked the idea of Belzina (or maybe Belle Green?)
- It wasn't a big shock, I knew Henry was gonna smash the mirror….and it wasn't only when I typed this phrase out did I think of Ingrid.
- And speaking of the mirror with the MacGuffin of the week, Once is getting very predictable. When EQ said "I'm not looking for…

So after all this time, no one thought about the deus ex sapling's residual magic in its dust? I guess it conveniently wouldn't have worked anyway! :-P

I just asked the same thing above about how Hook's "aye mate" accent got into Aladdin :-D And yeah, the "superpower" thing too; I couldn't help but roll my eyes when she mentioned it :-P

I'm no expert in British accents so I can't say exactly which dialect, but how did Hook's "aye mate" accent get into Aladdin? (OK, I know that's like asking why does Belle, a seemingly French girl, have an Australian accent :-D)

When Kelly and Ruby were sitting on the curb, who else kinda thought she was going to say "I need a new sidekick, Gabrielle's not around anymore"? How can I nor watch this show and get all nostalgic about Xena now that Ted Raimi's now in the picture? ;-)

I was both "why does he have a PA?" and "Look! He has a PA!" :-D

I wish that not every frickin' backstory has to have some love interest behind it. It's getting pretty lame after a while.

Little John, Roland and 4 or 5 extras went through the door; Violet's dad went to Yankee Connecticut; and Granny was the only one left in Storybrooke, holding onto a baby - was that baby little Robin or Neal, who knows! :-D

Very good laugh out loud observation! :-D

And all you had to to was go to the NYC Library "rare reading room" to find it! :-D

That's true, but my point was that I was actually looking forward to some monstrous looking Regina, not all gussied up in some couture dress and make up. I was hoping for the red eyes and pale skin, or something. It just seem that they can make women look monstrous without glitz. I mean look at the difference between…
