"Realm of Black People" :-D

Oh! The twin brother was James! I guess i forgot. I wonder what Rapunzel's name would have been in Storybrooke. Definitely last name Weaver :-P

With David's courage, Snow's brain and whoever's heart (taking a heart is not a difficult task on OUaT), she will create her army with the Lion, Scarecrow and Tin Man: the holy trinity of the Wizard. And somewhere along the line, they'll throw in Tamara for no reason then just forget her.

Huh… I didn't even pick up on that. Now she's got to pick up a brain (or doesn't she already have Snow's?) and a heart (although taking hearts is not such a big task in OUaT). Ok, so now what, she gives these items to the Lion, Scarecrow and Tin Man and they will be her army or something?

-I LOVED the bicycle on the porch. That was smart.

Not that I minded giving David his moment in the sun, but I found this episode to be totally pointless.

Maybe it's actually Cricketese? :-P It reminded me of Lassie "What's that girl? Timmy fell down a well?" OR Bubbles of the Powerpuff Girls speaking chipmunk! :-D

I still don't get how Neal's apartment remained "untouched" since they left it last season with Tamara. And just when did they find time to take a goofy pic under a "STORYBROOKE" sign, Neal returns the camera to the old apartment, goes back to Storybrooke and then gets sent back to the EF. (magic and it's price????)

To be fair, Grumpy did say that they found "others" in the surrounding area, apparently being scattered all over ;-) But then again, Granny and CG Red or the dwarfs were not at the border with the rest of the crew. So Cinderella and the rest? Who knows!

I'm SO glad that Snow said to Regina that Henry wanted her to have happiness and not a "happy ending". And I'm SO glad no one talked about "magic comes with a price". But….nooooo!!! Not another silly catchphrase, and just a recycled Pan one too: "Wicked always wins" Ugh.

But not a luxury car? Her yellow bug still has Massachusetts licence plates :-D

I knew that there was something fishy about that Walsh guy from the moment I saw that weird scar on the left side of his neck. That HAD to mean something! Flying monkey surgery?

Or maybe he caught a magical tornado and it took him a year to navigate the States to get from Kansas to New York :-P

If I may return to Xena again, Both Xena and Gabrielle died many times and were brought back. And also Callisto. I bet Rumple is in some underworld/afterlife plane or dimension like Tartarus, Hel, Tuonela. Not heaven or hell though - it has to be some non-Judeo-Christian mythological plane. Then maybe somehow there…

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think if that dagger was long enough to impale two people at the same time!

Is that really so wrong? :-D

Interesting. I wonder if that's a right brain - left brain kind of thing. I myself always want to know "why", and maybe others find that "this is how it is" is enough. Mind you, I am not saying yours is wrong or right :-)

One thing however does come to mind that unlike Regina and Rumple, Pan had no character motives other than doing selfish things for no reason. And to me, there was nothing interesting about Pan as a villain. To me, he was just a self-obsessed character with no motive. At least when I saw season one and what happened…

Actually, when they were tied to that tree (of regret was it?) in Neverland and Regina said, I don't regret anything, you do have a point there. Maybe this episode's scene where she "gives up the thing she loves" to undo what she did will finally bring her back on the path to redemtion. At least I see she's…

I totally understand where you are coming from. However, from a storytelling/fantasy standpoint, Regina can be compared to e.g. Xena, a character who did terrible things in her past but was on a mission to redeem herself and make up for things she did. And Xena has been viewed as a heroine (let's look at her conflict…
