Second Star to the Right- Another fun reaction for Once Upon a Time!! Thank you so much! I have to admit, this episode is once again not another one of my favorites from this season. I enjoy it and it's good, but I also have a few issues with it as well. However, your reaction for it is great! First... I have to say that I never liked the idea of Emma and Neal getting back together again. And I've always believed I was alone in feeling the same way, until recently with a few other reactors who also watch this show. So many people love Emma and Neal together too. Me personally... I never really saw that Emma is still in love with Neal. Only that she simply still cares about him and is happy he can be a part of Henry's life in spite of what's happened between them. And when she tells Neal she loves him, I just don't feel she means that she is in love with him any longer. Just that she still loves him because of their connection from their past relationship. Also... Neal is extremely naïve and kind of an idiot in regards to his relationship with Tamara, which I really hate too. I get that Emma acts a bit foolish too, in her efforts to try to convince Neal of the truth without having proof of Tamara's treachery, but we know she is right and that there is no way she is going to ignore her instincts. This is one of the main reasons why I never really liked Neal. He's an okay character. And I like his relationship with Henry. I just don't like his relationship with Emma, and I hate even more his relationship with Tamara. Emma and Neal have been through a lot and for the most part, I feel that they've been through too much just to simply put everything behind them so they can get back together again and become the loves they used to be. I feel that their story together has been told for the most part. I hope this all makes sense. Now, now that that's all out of the way... I enjoy the overall backstory with Bae and the Darlings, and with the Shadow. I love most of all that we get to see what comes of Bae immediately after he lands in our world once he falls through the portal shown back in season one's episode... Desperate Souls. And like most of the characters seen throughout all of Once Upon a Time, Wendy, John, and Michael are all well casted and it is amazing to see old London, England become a part of the Once Upon a Time world. If you recall... Rumplestiltskin is well over two hundred years old, and so like him and Hook too, Bae is over two hundreds years old as well in the present day timeline. This is why the setting of London is from an age within the 1800s. I'm so happy that they showed us so by having the carriage ride past when Bae first arrived from the Enchanted Forest. Especially given the time period that the Peter Pan story's time period is originally set in, as well as when it was originally written by J.M. Barrie. I really like the idea of Pan possibly being a villain by how the Shadow behaves. Yet I have to admit, that I didn't like this idea at first because while Peter Pan is known to be a mischievous character and a bit darker in some versions, more than he is especially in the Disney movie, Peter Pan, and in the movie, Hook with Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams, Peter Pan is still seen as a hero. And it just took me some time to wrap my head around the idea that Peter Pan within Once Upon a Time might very well be a villain. However, over time I got used to the idea that Pan could be a villain. Especially because of Hook and him being the villain he is. And while Hook is a villain, we also see a softer side to him. A side that shows he's so much more than who he appears. A man who wears a mask of smugness, pride, and conceit to hide his true pain and how he truly feels, especially towards himself. And for the most part, Once Upon a Time is phenomenal with the development of all their characters, especially those who we all have known and loved since we were children. And I have always loved Hook from all the movies and books I've read about him and Peter Pan. Also... I do like that Bae gives himself over to the Shadow to protect Wendy, John, and Michael so that their family wouldn't be split apart and broken like his is. And more so... I love that Bae manages to escape from the Shadow and that he lands in the ocean beyond the shores of Neverland, so that Hook could find him and bring him aboard the Jolly Roger. I love this moment in the episode, as it is my absolute favorite moment throughout this episode in spite of it being so short. I was so happy for the prospect of getting more of Hook's past storyline. And I'm so excited for what's to come. :) As for Neal being shot and him falling through the portal to someplace unknown... this scene has its flaws. If Neal had grabbed hold of Emma, then immediately stepped back with her away from the portal, or if Emma had just backed away from the portal as it began to open instead of her jumping up to grab hold of something above the portal making it so that Neal had to help her down, then Neal never would have fallen through. But I get the reasons for what came about in this scene. And I do like the parallels with Neal to Bae shown back in season one's episode, Desperate Souls too. I also feel so sad for Emma. I can really feel the emotion coming from her feeling her loss when he falls through after Tamara shot him. Jennifer Morrison is amazing with showing her emotions, and I've always been able to feel for her, and feel like we're meant to feel from her. But because I feel about Neal as I do, I can't help not feeling much about this tragedy. Again... I'm petty much alone with how I feel towards this moment, but c'est la vie. I don't care much for Greg's storyline at all like I've said before a number of times, I don't care that Greg's father turned out dead despite it being sad. That for me was pretty much a given from the get go and I certainly wasn't surprised that this was the big revelation for Kurt Flynn's character. And I hate these three characters, so it doesn't really matter to me. Same goes for Tamara's storyline, even in this episode. However, I am glad that Emma never stopped believing she was a villain and that the truth was finally revealed to her and to Neal. As for Regina giving in and telling Greg the truth about his father's death... I don't believe she told Greg simply because she was being tortured. Because Regina's shown strength the entire time. I think that she only told Greg the truth about his father being dead and buried out at their campsite because she wanted him to feel some of the pain he has been inflicting upon her. She told him out of spite and to be cruel. Not because of the torture. Next... I really like that Mary Margaret did as she did to find and save Regina in spite of everything that's gone on between them. And I love that she and David found her and brought her home so that Blue could heal Regina and remove the cuff so Regina can regain her magic again in time. And lastly... I am still not a fan of the Rumple/Lacey storyline. I hate Lacey and this overall storyline between them is awful. It annoys me to see Belle/Lacey encouraging Rumple to be bad. But at least Gold helped Mary Margaret and David so they could save Regina. And I love the idea of magic being created from one of Regina's tears and one of Mary Margaret's tears, and that this magic he creates allows for Mary Margaret to see and feel everything Regina does too. Very cool. While I really love season two overall, especially for its introduction to Hook and seeing his developing storyline, as well as for the first half of the season that I very much love... I feel that season two is the weakest season of the entire show. Not only does this season bring in three characters I really hate, and another character who's just okay, but it also focuses so much on them, that it becomes a bit annoying to me. Plus... even some of the characters I love like Regina and Henry are written poorly throughout the season I think. As if the writers didn't know what to do with them for the time being. Overall... this episode has its flaws, but I still enjoy it. So thank you again, so much! I can't wait for you to see and react to the second part of season two's finale. It's so good, and another of my favorite episodes within season two!!! Until then...
