The Thing You Love Most- I love this episode so much!!! Thank you very much for another reaction, Mega! I can't wait for more!!! :) Now... I really love both the past storyline with the Evil Queen in the Enchanted Forest, as well as Regina (the Evil Queen) in Storybrooke too. My favorite scenes being between the Evil Queen and Rumplestiltskin in his prison when she asks about the curse and it's revealed that she must crush the heart of the thing she loves most... and between Regina and Mr. Gold in the very end by Regina's apple tree. The actors who play them (Lana Parrilla and Robert Carlyle), play off of one another very well. They're both brilliant and their characters are so powerful and scary. I think that the actor who plays Rumplestiltskin and Gold is very good at being crazy and he's a phenomenal character in this show. As for how Gold may appear to be awake, or remember his real self... Regina's face of shock in the very end shows us he may very well be too. And it's clear that if they're both awake, then she certainly never intended for him to be. However, him possibly being aware of the truth, is fantastic! It's helps to build up the mysteriousness around him. :) I also really love the friction and battle of wits between Regina and Emma too. They also play off of one another very well. I think it is hilarious that Emma cuts one of the branches from her apple tree, because Emma senses that the Mayor's threat towards her in the beginning when she comes to give Emma a basket of apples. And yes... what Emma does here is a felony against the law and because they live in the real world, the laws are the same. And yet the laws of the real world outside of Storybrooke doesn't necessarily work in the same way as they do in Storybrooke. Storybrooke is a world filled with fairytale characters, brought over from the Enchanted Forest. And while no one remembers who they really are... Regina might and if she does, then she doesn't necessarily abide by the laws like she would be held to outside of their town. And she's the Mayor, so she can enforce them however she wishes to. And I really love this! It's very interesting, because Storybrooke isn't a part of the real world outside of this town. Next... I really love the scene between the Evil Queen and her father just before she kills him by ripping out his heart with her bare hands. It's so dark and yet so sad too because you really see the pain her eyes doing so causes her. Regina is evil and is willing to go so far that she was able to kill her own father, which makes her a terrifying enemy. Lana Parrilla, who plays the Evil Queen/Regina, lost her father when she was sixteen years old after he was tragically murdered by another young girl about the same age as Lana. He had been a minor and major league baseball player, who was tragically shot and murdered after a group of teenagers rammed into his car and then attempted to argue with him until he was killed. I can hardly imagine how Lana was able to act this scene where she winds up killing her TV father here in Once Upon a Time. But I can tell that the emotion we see in her eyes as she's crying silently just before she kills him, and seconds after, is very real. How painful. Such a tragedy, and what an amazing woman for coming out to be so strong and just an amazing and kind person who is well loved among her friends on and off the show. I admire Lana Parrilla very much. Back to this episode... I also really love that we find out the Henry is named after her father, as Rumple points out in the very end. It's sweet, but also twisted since Regina has killed her father. But her naming Henry after her father shows us that she really does love Henry in spite of how cruel she can be, even to him. Her love is very twisted right now, but I definitely can sense she does love him, as much as she possibly can right now with her being so evil. Next... I really enjoy this show's portrayal of Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty too. She is really dark and smartly written, and I love that her castle is in the Forbidden Fortress. As for her look... she's rarely seen with her hair let out at all in any story of Sleeping Beauty, because she usually wears the black cowl with horns which covers up her hair. The only time outside of Once Upon a Time in which we see her hair is in the movie Maleficent with Angelina Jolie, when she wears her hair down. So I really love Maleficent's look and the design of her fortress where she lives in the Forbidden Forest. Oh... and Pongo from 101 Dalmatians is the dalmatian we see being walked by Archie/Jiminy Cricket in Storybrooke. Archie is Pongo's owner. In this show, you will see pretty much every fairytale character from all fairytales from the Disney movies, the Brothers Grimm fairytales, Hans Christian Anderson fairytales, fables, nursery rhymes, and even tall tales that you could possibly think of... all brought together in the same world. This show is so creative and beautiful, and all of the characters are brilliantly casted and amazing! And lastly... I really love the moments between Emma and Mary Margaret. I love how Mary Margaret helps Emma by bailing her out of jail, tells Emma that she feels like she knows Emma and that she trusts her, and encourages her to stay in town to take care of Henry. There are some really beautiful moments between mother and daughter throughout this episode, even though they're both unaware of their true relationship with one another. Emma is shocked upon Mary Margaret telling her that Henry believes her to be Snow White, which sparks a sudden realization that she's looking back at her mother after all these years of being all alone. However, Emma of course quickly shakes off this sudden feeling of recognition, as she refuses to believe anything in regards to Henry's belief in the curse and everyone truly being fairytale characters being real. But I really love this sudden recognition from Emma nonetheless. Thank you so much again, Mega. I really enjoyed your reaction for this second episode titled... The Thing You Love Most. And I'm so happy you enjoyed this episode too. It's fantastic to see Regina's story and to see just how far she's willing to go in order to get her revenge on Snow White, as well as to rid Storybrooke of Emma, whom she now recognizes to be a very real threat to her. And the end scene between Gold and Regina always gets everyone so intrigued to watch more. It's absolutely brilliant! I can't wait for your reaction for the next episode!!! Snow Falls is one of my favorite episodes from this season, so I'm so excited! Until then, my friend...
