I love how August is Pinocchio.And also love all of the little machinations of Mr. Gold. Booth is now officially my 2nd favorite character, though depending on how Belle's character is depicted in future episodes (if she appears; I don't know if Emilie de Ravin has signed on to play her in season 2 or not), she may claim that spot. Or, she could just become my favorite female character so that I don't have to choose. Ah, yes, the Libra way of deciding things. I thought it was a little odd that (a) David would give Regina a ride; (b) that she'd have him over for dinner without poisoning him or something; (c) that David would actually agree to it and (d) as of the end of the episode, no harm came to him. Also, didn't know that she could cook! But, hey, the actress playing her IS a Cancer in real life. I feel torn about how to feel about Regina. On the one hand, she has every right to hate Snow White for what she did to her--it was Snow's big mouth and breach of trust that led to the death of Regina's true love. If I were in her shoes, I would hate Snow White too. However, there comes a point where you have to get on with your life, and given that Regina meddles in other people's lives, and not just Snow's, it's hard to feel sympathy. If she just hated Snow and only targeted her, that would be one thing (not right per se, but understandable), but she's hurt a lot of others, too. IP: Logged |

I'm guessing yes, since he was born to Emma, who was protected by the wardrobe and immune to the curse. Plus, Emma was in the real world when she had Henry, which would mean that Henry was born there and not in the fairytale land. It seems like only those born in the fairytale land who were not in the wardrobe are forbidden to leave Storybrooke. However, it's been awhile since I've seen some of the episodes, so I could be wrong, but that's my understanding.

Ooh!! I knew that was going to happen (foreshadowing), but I didn't realize that this wasn't the season finale. IP: Logged |

I'm starting to lose hope that Rumple will ever see Belle again. I was hoping that Regina would make the trade. When Gold basically said that he couldn't trade because for that to happen, both parties have to be interested, I was like "nooooo she's alive!". And then when Regina didn't even seem to consider Belle as an option I was so mad. Maybe de Ravin just isn't interested in playing her for more episodes or has scheduling conflicts/other obligations? The only other thing that I could think of is that Regina is going to 'save' Belle for something even bigger. Henry is not going to die. ABC is owned by Disney. I highly doubt that they'd kill off a child character, especially on this show. I knew that someone would eat the apple besides Emma, but I thought maybe it would be Snow. IP: Logged |

I briefly wondered if they would both find that Snow had eaten some of it, and died, but then I knew that he would take a bit to prove that the curse was real. Henry was more concerned about everyone else, and her saving them, than he was about getting away from Regina. I wonder how Regina will react. I think this is some sort of karma, but it probably won't affect her in that way, otherwise, again, they wouldn't have a show. IP: Logged |

It's interesting how they showed both Snow and Henry making huge sacrifices in the episode. Both to save the ones they loved. That theme will probably be lost on Regina, but not on anyone else... IP: Logged |

I agree about Henry. I wonder if Gold will use that sword thing to save him? I also thought Snow would've eaten it.
I wonder if Emma will believe now. That's the whole reason he ate it.

If Emma STILL doesn't believe, even after everything, that will be a facepalm/headdesk moment for me. I'm also getting kind of sad about Booth. He's so cool. I really hope that they don't kill him off.

WHY, Rumple, WHYYYYYYYY?!He finally gets Belle back. She even still loves him after everything. And he effs it up. AGAIN. The only hope that I have of them being together is if he is forced to make a choice between them and chooses her. Not counting on that--the choice, yes, but him making the right one, no. I could easily see her going to Jefferson. *sigh* I really want them to end up together, and for Gold/Rumple to finally choose her over power, and learn his lessons from the past (though still be badass and awesome).

I think the next season will be Rumple vs the Queen. Rumple wants revenge. I thought the Queen would change, but the smile on her face proved otherwise.------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."

I was wondering how they were going to have a show, because the whole premise of the show was to break the curse. Then Rumple did that, whatever it is....what IS it? Obv it's more magic, but how will it affect everyone? Will they all go back to not knowing anymore? I'm guessing they will, but it seems a bit more ominous than that too -- like it may bring destruction of some sort. IP: Logged |

I do want a Rumple-Regina showdown (and I want Rumple to win). I'm really hoping that Rumple wouldn't lose Belle for good. I do think that the show is making some characters complex/ambiguous. Regina, for example. I really do believe now that she loves Henry. And I think Henry knows that, too. Henry seems to (a) see everything in black and white and (b) come down hard on people whom he doesn't like, but ignores the faults of those he does like, or else doesn't attach much importance to them. I am wondering if they'll give Henry some character development in the next season--I hope so. I'm trying to be fair because his character is just a kid, and kids do see things in black and white, but still, it just makes for some headdesk moments sometimes. I really, really like Booth/Pinocchio and I want him to be OK. It didn't seem like he was OK in the finale, but I'm hoping that somehow, he will be. He's just too cool to die! I have a feeling that Rumpelstiltskin is going to ruin this new chance at happiness that he has with Belle in a quest for power. I have mixed feelings on that. On the one hand, I wholeheartedly agree with the message that you can't "fix" a person--that person has to make the choice to change. That's a good message. However, it bothers me that Rumpelstiltskin refuses to change. It just annoys me that he hasn't learned anything, especially given how intelligent he is--arguably, one of the most intelligent people on the show. It drives me nuts that he COULD be happy with Belle, had seemed to have regretted losing her, and yet he'll never change; he's learned nothing. He's still power-hungry and because he doesn't truly want to change for the better, he's not going anywhere good in life. It frustrates me that he doesn't love Belle enough to choose her over power. One could argue that he's cursed by magic, but one could also counter-argue that he's doubly cursed by cowardliness and power-hunger, which come from within. I am wondering, too, if Belle could be the one to kill him with the dagger--if not next season, in the series finale maybe. At this point, him losing all forms of power is the only way that I can see that he'll ever be able to be free of the darkness in his heart. And even then, if he loses power but tries to regain it, he'll just stay lost there. He really does fascinate me as a character; great acting by Robert Carlyle. IP: Logged |

Now that the magic is back, wouldn't that mean that August/Pinnochio would turn back into a real person? And why would Regina really love Henry, could it all just be an act? Could Belle want revenge on Regina as well? Will Rumple ever reunite with his son?Sorry for the list of questions, I knw your probably wondering as well but I just wanted to knw if you have any guesses IP: Logged |

I hope that Pinocchio comes back...I freaking love him. Plus, I need a backup character to fangirl over if Rumples ends up being stupid and losing Belle. And Booth... I really am believing now that Regina truly loves Henry. Even evil characters have a bit of good in them. And, after all, before Snow White caused her true love to be killed, and she went bad, she did love someone. She even cared about Snow, which makes it even worse that Snow broke her promise. Given that Belle just forgave Rumples like that (which honestly disappointed me a bit; I do want them together, but I wanted him to earn her love/for her to have a backbone), she seems pretty easy-going, mellow, and quick to forgive. She might not like Regina, but I can't see her really being deeply hateful/vengeful. It's not out of the question, but it would seem out-of-sync with her character. I don't know if Rumple will be with his son. To be honest, I'm much more interested in him and Belle. I figured that his son is a lost cause, but of course, given the nature of this show, my guess is that he'll show up at some point.
