She has also been abandoned/betrayed by everyone that has ever loved her (i.e. Snow, Charming and Neal).<br /><br />This is where I start grabbing straws...<br /><br />Neal is the product of cowardice. Rumple was a coward (before he became the dark one) and his mother ran off with hook instead of staying with her family. Neal on the other hand is continuously brave. He went to Neverland in place of the Darlings and let go of Emma's hand to save her from falling in the portal.<br /><br />Both of Henry's parents were orphans which makes him the product of orphans, and Henry never gives up on anyone. Even with all the evil that Regina does, he still believes that she can become a hero. <br /><br />It's just a thought I had while rewatching the episode that I thought was interesting.Laure Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692780015410946019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-89505208560990102702013-10-15T07:49:58.639-04:002013-10-15T07:49:58.639-04:00I have beens struggling with this season as well. ...I have beens struggling with this season as well. The stories all feel as though they have been told and much of the tension (like David's wound) is false. What are the chances that he is going to die? I would guess slim.<br /><br />My other problem is Pan. To be a Big Bad, you need to be menacing. During the whole "battle" in the woods, all I could think about was that they were fighting a bunch of young boys and I just couldn't invest in the tension of it.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-46922135164226143932013-10-14T17:33:47.788-04:002013-10-14T17:33:47.788-04:00I never expected to give up on this show, but this...I never expected to give up on this show, but this episode was the last one for me. All the soul-searching with Emma is just annoying - sure she had a terrible childhood, but since the other alternative was dying, it seems pretty unreasonable to pout about her parents abandoning her, especially when it's so obvious how much they love her. <br /><br />Equally annoying was Charming deciding not to say anything about his wound. What good is that going to do? Maybe Hook knows an antidote, but they'll never find out this way. It's just manufactured tension.<br /><br />But worse than that is that it's just so boring. Wandering around in the wood is so dull, especially when it's obvious Pan could kill them anytime he wanted to - why have that big fight at all when Pan let them survive? It's all so pointless.<br /><br />I hoped for big things once the curse was broken, but instead the story's mainspring has just been winding down and down. For me, it's stopped altogether. Robert Carlyle is the only reason to keep watching, but there's not enough of him in it to get me through the boring bits.Gavriellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-45430062208880060262013-10-08T14:29:15.460-04:002013-10-08T14:29:15.460-04:00I thought the parallels between Emma and Snow were...I thought the parallels between Emma and Snow were a little bit too obvious, but otherwise I liked it! Good fun with Hook, and Pan is definitely creepy! Nice to see Belle again, even if just a vision...CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-40372177996669163462013-10-07T19:30:38.259-04:002013-10-07T19:30:38.259-04:00Just not feeling it this year...not sure why. Dur...Just not feeling it this year...not sure why. During the whole flashback I was thinking "Who cares anymore? We know what happened..." (for the most part anyway). Maybe it is the lack of "action" - especially when the ads for OUaT in Wonderland are being thrown at us and it looks so action packed...Soozenoreply@blogger.com
