Once Upon a Time: Into the Deep


I must be very tired of this story line, because I couldn’t get very excited by the goings on in this episode. I just want the story to move forward. Just like Mulan said, is it just going to be one journey after another. If so, I might just stop watching until something actually happens. The show is beginning to feel like a soap opera where it can take a year for anything to be resolved. It’s very tiring.

The only real good thing for me about his episode was more Captain Hook. I likey.

Observations:

Once Upon a Time has the walking dead. Are vampires too far away? Will we meet Count Dracula or Vlad the Impaler?

Why would Charming believe Henry so quickly that he knows that his mother and Snow are still alive? He just woke up from a dream, and he hadn't explained anything to Charming about talking to Aurora.

I thought Regina sent Cora through the looking glass. Why does she tell Rumpel that she saw Cora’s dead body?

Why does Snow think that Rumpel will help them? Doesn't she remember him as the bad guy?

Aurora and Henry both want to be heroes. They don’t want to just be observers in everything that’s going on. That’s a good thing for Aurora, because she’s been pretty useless and unnecessary in the story since we’ve met her.

Rumpel mentioned mermaids. Will we meet Ariel soon? And if she eventually gets to Storybrooke, will she have legs?

If Henry and Aurora can be burned in the sleeping curse nightmare, why doesn’t Aurora just burst into flames? That fire would consume her dress in seconds.

For those of you who are familiar with Into the Woods, didn't you want Emma to say to Snow, “You talk to birds?” after the crow landed on Snow’s shoulder and squawked a bit? And when Emma and Snow start blaming themselves for the predicament they’re in (and finally blaming Regina), didn't you hear in your head, “so it’s your fault.”

So many assumptions were made by characters in this episode. Charming assumes that Snow will meet him in the sleeping curse world. Snow assumes that Mulan’s sleeping powder will put her back in the sleeping curse world. Charming assumes that Snow will be able to kiss him and wake him from of the sleeping curse.

It’s funny how the two most evil people from Fairy Land are now trying to do good in Storybrooke. I guess the writers don’t want us to have to worry about five villains. Also, it’s interesting that people have let Regina alone. They aren’t trying to get revenge. That’s what this show is all about – revenge. Revenge for betrayal, revenge for killing a loved one, revenge for cursing everyone.  

Why does Snow refer to Charming as David, but call him Charming to his face?

How did Hook get Aurora’s heart? Does he have magic too? That just came out of the blue.

Quotes:

Cora: Your pretty face buys you a lot, but not my time; it’s too valuable.

Rumpel: Condiments are this world’s most powerful magic.

Henry: So, Cora – she’s pretty powerful?
Rumpel: Yes, but not as powerful as I am.
Regina: Debatable.
Rumpel: Actually, no, it’s not.
(Side note: This line made me laugh. It’s just so random.)

Regina: If there’s one thing I know about your grandparents, they always find each other.
