It's Mary ...It's not exactly Mary Shelley. It's Mary Shelley by way of old time Hollywood. So it's even more of a tonal mismatch. :)<br /><br />I must be the only one rooting against Gold. I think he's a great character, but he's not at all sympathetic. He's <i>extremely</i> manipulative, and an utterly terrible (and seriously creepy) match with Belle. Plus, I think Hook's desire for vengeance here is completely understandable. I was glad when Belle shattered that cup --- partially because I thought it was silly for them to bring the whole Disney chipped cup into it in the first place --- and I hope she never gets her memory back. She'd be much better off.<br /><br />This show is becoming more ridiculous by the week. The characters are very inconsistent, and quite often colossally stupid. They basically do whatever dumb thing the plot of the week requires them to do. And yet, I still find myself looking forward to the show most weeks.

Henry’s realization that Whale isn’t in the book means the rules are currently unknowable.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14856230887523751934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-77408960413333304382013-01-24T23:04:37.149-05:002013-01-24T23:04:37.149-05:00Love David Anders and I think he makes a terrific ...Love David Anders and I think he makes a terrific Frankenstein. But I'm still weirded out by them folding Mary Shelley into this universe. It's just...strange.<br /><br />Did you notice the Star Wars ring tone sneaking in there like product placement? Disney owns Star Wars now.

If I was to pick dead guy of the year, I’d pick you.” Emma to hook.<br /><br />Redemption and the return to love have to cost something. Regina has been paying a price trying to control herself. Cora has not; she is trying to buy love on the cheap.<br /><br />Thanks for getting the review up so fast. I can’t remember a show having quite this hold on my imagination before.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14856230887523751934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-23133300329477257882013-01-22T20:42:54.072-05:002013-01-22T20:42:54.072-05:00While I thought the story itself was a bit forced ...While I thought the story itself was a bit forced and too much this week, I do like the idea of an outsider entering into this world.
