The plot twist at the end with Shelly was WAY too predictable to me, I figured it out when Maddie was having lunch. Ezra, Richie and Jules should just have done what they had to do in the long run and keep it where no one would look for it, rather than sell it - just seems like a more safe option, especially with them being on the run, It also would have been more interesting to see how Maddie creates her new personas, rather than jumping to what we can assume is a week or two in. Other than it being a bit of a slow one, it was still a pretty solid episode, and I'm keen to see where it goes from here.
"Are you the fairy tale type, Conrad Hawkins?"
"I wasn't, but you make me believe."
So cheesy, but ugh. They're so great together!
Well, Kara did mention that she's a big *Nsync fan a while ago...
This finale really did feel like it was going to be a 2-parter, so I'm surprised at how they left it off. The cliffhanger will make for a great launch into the 3rd season, though.
uhh, that ending... what ??? :flushed:
Bailee Madison is an excellent choice in casting, and I'm glad she took on the role. Her mannerisms are quite like that of Ginnifer's portraying Snow, and their way of speaking is very similar, too. Considering the fact that she was only 12 or 13 while filming makes it extra special, too.
On the same point, it pushes my complaint further about Jared's failed attempts at portraying emotion in appropriate scenes. It's completely lackluster in comparison to Bailee's.
I'm wondering how Frankenstein has anything to do with the lore / fables? What is the connection here, if not for him to only have been there for a season and now 5 episodes for just... A plot device?
Hmm... Idk if it's just her childish way of talking that makes her unbearable, but Amunet Black is definitely not my favourite antagonist on the show. They could have left her back in the previous seasons tbh, there are much more interesting ones that could have made another appearance.
I missed not seeing Kit in this ep.
Probably the weakest episode of the season thus far.
Definitely could have seen it coming, but... Ouch. Never a good feeling when a kid loses their mother.
The first Brettonio episode!
"I can’t leave my heart at the start of the shift and then just pick it up at the end. Maybe it’ll break me someday, but I just don’t care." THIS is why I adore Brett!
A couple of things about this episode:
It was one thing for Herrmann to be teasing Freddie so casually like that ( especially since they really just met and got to know each other ), but it's another not to apologise after being asked to a couple of times in a row... Not saying Herrmann deserved it, but... ¯_(ツ)_/¯
It's great that we're getting more backstory, but the episodes are lacking for me. I want that rush, that chaos of most if not all the characters remembering their fairy tale lives and panicking because Storybrooke is nothing like their past lives. I want Regina as the Evil Queen with her full powers wrecking havoc and controlling everyone as her mother did she, rather her play the mayor of a hideaway town with a hidden vengeance for one of its residents. It's becoming rather repetitive in that all the episodes are just backstory fillers for the main characters, and then the usual Regina vs Emma situation, just with a different plot. 19 episodes in and I'm hoping these last few ones that lead up to the finale will improve.
By far the worst episode of the season thus far... Which is a little expected from episodes in the middle of seasons, but still. Apart from the fairy tale backstory, it's much too predictable and somewhat slow in pace, though I will appreciate the numerous plot twists that at least kept it entertaining enough to get through in one sit.
"This guy on the top claimed the mountain on behalf of the gays." ICONIC.
Also that slow-clap in the end was too cute!
FINALLY the sins are back together!
ok but why episode is this better than the entire season it preceded?
You'd think that, after Sabrina found ways around so many things ( namely her initial dark baptism and the resurrection ), that she'd also do the same with finally signing her name in the book once again - especially when it was such a huge deal in the very beginning... But nope!
On that same note, I do realise this means we will get to see another, darker side to the character, but... The move felt awkward, at least to me.
By far the best episode of this season so far.
I do like that we get some background as to what Trish has been up to, but it's a little redundant. Only the last maybe 10 minutes actually add to the storyline of this season thus far as everything that has happened was already told in the previous episode, just in Jessica's perspective. Nevertheless, great directorial debut from Ritter - it's a niche little episode.
oh, how it hurt to see ryan back as tom... despite knowing his death was an integral part of the plot to move forward, i miss his character.
Awesome episode to lead into the finale.
Omar and Nadia have a horrible and homophobic father, Ander's mum should not have outed Omar in the first place, Samu and Nano's mum is seemingly useless... and while Guzman and Marina's parents are right in taking precautions about Marina's pregnancy, they're still the parents that used a charity to better their status in society... So basically all the adults in this show except for Ander's dad aren't great people... Huh.
In any case, I'm glad it picked up, 'cos I was getting a little bored in the last couple of episodes.
Everyone's getting really annoying, especially Marina imo. At least the dynamics the characters share with others are still interesting - otherwise I'm actually kinda bored.
Meh. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad, either. I'm just upset that Oliver once again has to sacrifice so much for others and he will most likely die by the series finale because of it, so there's no chance of a happy ending for him down the line.
Ok, I'll admit - I really thought Patrick wasn't exactly who he was saying he was, and the end of the ep proved me right. Not sure if it's just 'cos they definitely needed something different rather than taking the character in the same repetitive motion as Erza, Richard and Jules, but that plot twist was kinda super obvious... At least to me.
That scene in the restaurant with Gary dying on his food and then her eating like nothing had happened... BIG MOOD :') also that scene with the car and the bowling ball? God, this new trio is so chaotic hahaha this show is both interesting and entertaining!
