I think we're gonna need some more flashbacks to Storybrooke's past to flesh out Henry's experience in a town that doesn't age around him.<br /><br />Regina and Gold were really well used this week, and I absolutely loved the giddily happy smile on Regina's face as she was first enjoying watching Snow at David's bedside. That whole Groundhog Day sequence was delightful.<br /><br />I'm also really pleased that they tied our mystery outsider into the show's overall mythology. I, too, guessed that Greg must be Owen pretty early on, but didn't mind the late reveal. Now I actually care about his quest to suss out what's going in the town, whereas before it seemed like a completely cheesy add on to the story. If he finds his dad, I wonder if he'll have aged at all. (I hope not, because John Pyper-Ferguson is an always welcome guest actor.) Does the Queen's psych ward keep you in stasis?<br /><br />Time for my superficial nitpick: Seriously, what is up with Ginnifer Goodwin's eyebrows? Did she have some sort of tweezing accident? Why do her brows look thickly painted on all of a sudden? I'm finding it incredibly distracting.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-23341475864394509802013-03-20T15:03:49.476-04:002013-03-20T15:03:49.476-04:00Definitely a brilliant episode!

The others never aged, but Henry sure did! So how did that not make anyone stop and take note? Or did Regina adopt Henry when he was already this age? I thought she'd adopted him as a baby... We definitely need more on that backstory! We need to see more of the two of them as a family to understand why Henry loves her so much and keeps defending "his mom".CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-53799202851579058582013-03-18T20:28:30.814-04:002013-03-18T20:28:30.814-04:00Agreed, Panda, we all need lots more Jamie Dornan ...Agreed, Panda, we all need lots more Jamie Dornan in our lives!!<br /><br />I actually got a bit upset when he was clutching his chest after the box with his heart in it was knocked over. I really, really hate that they killed him off and I really hate that Regina made him her sex-slave. Poor Huntsman. :-(<br /><br />Great review btw! I loved the episode too!Erishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972548668482540841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-6698138249492092402013-03-18T19:15:49.015-04:002013-03-18T19:15:49.015-04:00Great review, Panda.

I am enjoying the dark Snow White stuff, but we need to get her out of bed and less suicidal.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.com
