I watched it. I have opinions...
That's a lot of smooching, Phillip.
No, seriously. Like, a lot of smooching. Do something constructive like give me a reason to root for Aurora(?).
...They keep bringing up living forever. Probably ought to store that thought away as a plot point
Belle + Gold = d'awwwwwwwwww and <3 <3 <3
family reunion = only slightly awkward :p
Has Snow always looked that pale, or did Mary Margaret not have skin as white as snow?
Oh, you mean Regina wasn't faking having no powers? I thought she did the dry fire just to see them all duck...
Charming during Snow's "I want to get to know my daughter" speech is so cute.
How do you keep all those plans and contingency plans straight in your head, Gold? o_O
Have I mentioned how much I like Belle + Gold?
Way to Henry's heart, Regina. Have your wallpaper eat his grandpa. XD (Of course, Henry is something of an optimist in hoping that Regina gets a happily ever after too... but the family does believe in second chances.) (Also, to quote Princess Bride: "I knew she was bluffing!")
Phillip = the real sleeping beauty? That's different...
...and, still no viable guess as to who received the postcard via Dove White Deliveries.
All in all, I'd say I'm pleased with how this season started. :D My biggest beef is with the (non)characterization of Aurora, but I dare say she'll grow and we'll end up being pleased with the pairing. The other question worth consideration is why Phillip and Mulan come across as slightly more fleshed out when they don't actually have more screen time than Aurora? Do mysterious people with mad sword skillz and arcane knowledge automatically get a free pass whereas the helpless fluff doesn't? (And she's played as fluff against tough-as-nails Mulan, no doubt about it, and Phillip squashes any moment where she might have had something to say.)

Note to self: find screencaps of young Regina's hair and riding dress
Awwwww, Dear Old Dad. Tell us more! We want to hear your version, not Rumple's...
speaking of which, Rumple, thou art creepy
and your vacation plans have to be postponed...again
I suppose Cora being back home means my Maleficent=Cora theory never really had a wing to fly with...

I had an opportunity to watch the winter finale (I think that's what they call it?) even though I haven't seen the intervening episodes... I think that's like skipping to the end of the story. Oops. ;)) Nevertheless, I oriented myself quickly.
Thank you, Cora, for repeating your motivations twice. Very kind, I appreciated it. However, I hope the episodes I missed make it a little clearer because I don't quite get what you want to do? You're proud of Regina, and touched that she loves you...and you think you're going to help her or are you just waiting until she's down to kick her really, really hard?
Interesting that the make-up artists are really playing up the young Regina/trying to be good Regina resemblance. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something about the face that changes subtly. Or maybe not so subtly, since I noticed. ;))
I see where the Hook/Aurora shippers are coming from... ;)) ...But is that a deep plan on the part of Cora, or will his continuing usefulness protect Hook from her ire? I can't think she'd be happy about loosing Aurora's heart.
All through the reunion, I kept thinking, "Someone give Regina a huuuuuuuuug." And then Henry did, and it was good. And even though they ought not to have walked off on her, Gold's comments were uncalled for.
Seriously, Gold, despite your comments to Emma, you DO have some sort of crazy plan. Unless you're afraid of Hook? What if Hook is Bae? (I mean, I could come up with a convincing story based on this episode, but doubtless that is disproved already. ;)) )

I sort of had a thought about the Belle/Rumplestiltskin narrative. Hmmmm. With the amnesia, the writers have taken away Belle's ability to choose, and they've placed her in a damsel in distress situation. It's... eh. Now, if it had been RUMPLE who lost his memories--I think that would make a fabulous AU. There'd be conflict between Belle wanting her True Love back, the fact that Rumple in full possession of his powers is not necessarily someone you want running around in your town so there's outside pressure that maybe this was what they needed all along, and... Someone write it, please?
Watching the season piecemeal means I have some off-the-wall theories. For example, based on this episode I think I could make a decent case for Regina and Bae being siblings... or at least I did until I thought about it a bit more and decided that would require a convoluted chunk of missing timeline filled in (Does Cora resent Belle?) and that's just really sad for Daddy Dearest Henry. :( So I hope I'm wrong.
Also, it would seem we're getting a spin on 'You can always get them back' going wrong. And of course, it would involve Regina and her True Wuv... XD (But whose heart became a medical experiment???)
Have we explored where Henry's book came from?
And finally, there seemed to be a lot of characters who need to learn that love involves letting go. :( (And where is Rumple's patience???!!! He ought to have stepped back and read a dating guide, or something. ;)) )
