Bloody biofocal contacts make it really difficult to read subtitles. I had to rewind three times, and each time I did - the rewind indicator blocked out the subtitle on date and place. Thanks for the info.
Why would Storybrooke need another hotel since no one has ever visited until lately (except Owen+Dad).
Well there's Emma, and Bae, and now Tamara who all either stayed there or are staying there. But otherwise good point, particularly since Regina keeps kicking people out of the hotel and telling them to leave town. The only people she hasn't tried to kick out of the hotel yet are Neal/Bae and Tamara (who she admittedly may not even know about).
Hmmm...if that taser can kill a Chinese Dragon and Pinnochio, can it take out Regina?
I totally called Tamara="Her". It's like Neal=Baelfire. There were no other suspects.
It was sort of obvious once we figured out that she was coming to storybrook and not a walk-on role (ie. he kept bringing her up).
Gepeto gets what Rumplestiltskin wanted. A son-reset with him returning to his pre-curse age with memory loss.
I thought that was actually sort of brilliant. Gepeto without asking for it gets exactly what Rumplestilskin tried to talk Baelfire into. (I wonder if that thought drifted through Baelfire's head when he saw what happened to Pinnochio?)
If Rumple is not bent out of shape by this, then it's because it's the same memory block as the writers not having Regina reacting to Henry's father is here is Rumple's son. Grrr. Agree on WTF.
Exactly. I hate it when tv writers skim over these details. It's highly frustrating for viewers. I remember David Fury stating in commentary that he didn't think fans wanted to hear Giles confess to Buffy about killing Ben, so she wouldn't have to in LMTPM, and fans everywhere went - uh, yes, we do, you idiot! (Drew Goddard, bless him, did seem to realize this - he kept sneaking stuff in.)
TV writers are weird - they hammer you over the head with one thing, but skim over another..thinking that's obvious and the viewer doesn't need to see it. *Head*desk*
Although she'd have to have overheard the conversation to know Neal was worth manipulating. That seems to be a bit of a plot stretch.
I got the feeling that she was eavesdropping on it, and taking photos with her phone? Maybe I miswatched? Would have to re-watch it. OUAT is one of those series that it pays to re-watch. But otherwise agree - it is a bit of a plot stretch - she really is badass, isn't she?
Yes, this time even I was annoyed by Gepeto getting his due slug and then Snow apologizing. But she is going to see any non-angelic act as *black heart disease* now, which she was fully capable of before without apology.
Sigh, yes. Although...shipperx has an interesting theory about the corrosive properties of black magic on the heart. That said, why would it be evil to slap Gepeto? Even Gepeto admits she was right to slap him, and she certainly would have done it prior...it's not like she was perfect, right?
Also, she was plotting Cora and Regina's demise prior to using the magic.
I think the Henry/Emma truce was temporary and a set-up for her to lie again and have Henry react to it.
Oh, I'd agree. I remember thinking when Emma promised - not a good idea, Emma. Really bad idea to promise to Henry that you will NEVER lie to him again. Would have been a lot smarter to explain that sometimes people lie to protect themselves and to protect others...it's what people do, it's neither good or evil, it just is. I will try my best not to in the future, if you in turn will agree not to lie to us or run away? But no...the writers had her set herself up for a big fall.
Is she lying to Henry about what Snow did with Cora? I can't remember. I don't think she was...but they were whispering about it when Henry was within earshot.
Agree - at least we got closure on the whole Pinnochio/Gepetto sub-plot. Also, no more Emma/Pinnochio ship - thank heavens...because again, eww. That's one ship that got sunk before it could take off.
