I loved every second of this one and actually found myself shouting at the television (OK, computer screen, but you know what I mean).<br /><br />I especially liked the fact that the first adult who completely and totally believed Henry was the sheriff, not either of his mothers, his shrink or his teacher. I also liked the fact that it was a man.<br /><br />So, kissing Emma brings back the memories?

I can only assume that they've got something totally kick ass waiting in the wings for Mr. Magic Mirror, or he just wanted something light and low key to follow up his work on <i>Breaking Bad</i>. His little snippets on this show tend to make me sad, because they are an utter waste of his skills.

It kept Emma from leaving, was some kind of soulmate to the Huntsman and acted as something of a spirit guide to him in this world. I wonder if it remembers the Fairy World as well?

There was some te...This episode made me really sad. There was some terrific character development for both Sheriff Graham and for Emma as well - and then just as swiftly, he was gone. I understand why it was done but damn. I liked the Sheriff from the off and I always liked the idea of the compassionate huntsman from the fairy-tale but what happened with him in this episode made me completely love him. He was fascinating and complex and he suffered so terribly. All alone except for the wolves, shunned by humans and emotionally wounded by having to kill for food. And then being sexually abused by the Evil Queen for who knows how long. Awful. And in Storybrook, he's convinced he can't feel and hates himself for the destructive relationship he's in and knows it will probably prevent him getting to be with Emma who made him feel something for once. So sad.<br /><br />It looks like he's been killed off for real, judging from what Jamie Dornan says. :-( But he might be back in the fairy-tale world I guess. <br /><br />When Boone was killed on Lost, I felt really cheated because I'd found him such an interesting character (also, hot...) - but at least Ian Somerhalder ended up being awesome on Vampire Diaries. Hope Jamie Dornan gets to Somerhalder his way into another good part soon.Erishttp://www.inlovewiththemovies.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-78097294385954963182011-12-16T11:08:58.869-05:002011-12-16T11:08:58.869-05:00I loved this episode, but I'm very upset/confu...I loved this episode, but I'm very upset/confused/miffed that Graham is dead--because with him dies a sense of real development. We need more forward movement! This episode showed just how interesting that sort of re-discovery of one's self can be. <br /><br />I get my clothes at the Morally Ambiguous Gap.

Dude was wearing a suit and a big apron and carrying a huge shovel. Gardening, my ass. Can't wait to find out what's up with that.<br /><br />I was very bummed that Graham has apparently been killed off. We didn't really know him that well, but I found him interesting. And I thought he'd get more to do in Storybrook. Is it reasonable to think that he can be revived or come back some other way?Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-61224871173174451792011-12-16T06:33:37.116-05:002011-12-16T06:33:37.116-05:00I thought this was an excellent episode, and so bl...I thought this was an excellent episode, and so bloody heart-wrenching (sorry for the pun).<br /><br />I KNEW IT!!! Knew he had to be the Huntsman! But then we all kind of guessed that a while back. And I never, ever would have pegged him to be the first to get his memories back... But I do believe in the kiss as the unlocking element of those memories. After all, isn't that what Emma's presence there supposed bring about? How can we get back the Happy Endings unless people start remembering them?<br /><br />But I felt oh so bad for her in the end!<br /><br />Speaking of endings... has anybody wondered what would happen with Emma and Henry if she does succeed? If everyone remembers who they were, they defeat Regina and go back to the Enchanted Forest? Emma and Henry don't have a place there! And as for Emma fitting in with her family? Because of the curse she's actually the same age as her parents!...<br /><br />Anyhow... how long 'till January and the next episode??? ;o)CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-91469590880588308482011-12-16T00:19:13.559-05:002011-12-16T00:19:13.559-05:00This was my favourite episode so far.

She didn't pick THIS Huntsman, the Mirror did. She also saw him kill a human being without remorse and express the feeling that humans weren't very important. Depending on how much the Mirror showed her, she may not have heard the man taunting the Huntsman about weeping over deer. Or she may have thought he was like those little old ladies who love their dogs, but not their grandkids. I guess I'm saying that I'm not 100% certain that the Mirror wasn't trying to keep Snow alive and simply found a patsy to pin it on.percysownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524512417823662079noreply@blogger.com
