Observations:
Rumpelstiltskin was definitely a happy man prior to going off to fight in the Ogre war. He was even excited to go off to fight. His little jive move when he says, "I report for training in the morning," was pretty funny. This is a Rumpel we've never seen before.
Gold's freak-out that started in the last episode was over pretty quickly. So, the fact that he freaked out in the first place is even more of a mystery to me. Maybe it was just a fear of flying. Or fear of leaving Storybrooke. Or nervousness of finding Bae after all this time. I'm sure we can think of a reason for it, but I still feel like it was simply a plot device for him to discover that he had no magic. I would be interested to hear what the director told Robert Carlyle about his motivation for being so worried before they filmed the scene.
Why would Emma think that Bae is expecting Gold? What does she think Gold did, text him to let him know he was coming? *wink*
Cora has embraced the fashion of our world. Well, why not? Those large gowns can be so cumbersome. At least she's lost the parasol. *wink*
Why does Neal run? Does he recognize Emma's voice? Is he scared of UPS?
Ouch! That fall was brutal.
Speaking of August - where is August? I want to see him!
Why didn't August just tell Neal he knew he was Bae? Why did he have to reveal it by typing the words on his typewriter? We'll see if we discover later that there was a real reason why he couldn't say it out loud, and why he typed in on the typewriter.
There are a lot of Australians in the Enchanted Forest.
It would be awfully easy to poke your eye or to get something in it if your eye were in the palm of your hand. *wink*
Cows? Couldn't they think of a more interesting prediction than the soldiers riding (on saddles called) "cows"?
Finding that map was really too easy. But then, I'm all for moving the plot along.
Why does David bring up the fact that Regina is Henry's step-great-grandmother when they're talking about Rumpel being Henry's grandfather? They already knew she was his step-great-grandmother. It's not a new revelation.
Who is "Her?" Is there someone else who may be connected to Fairy Tale Land who was not part of the curse? That has to be the case, otherwise you would think that Greg would have her actual name in his phone, not just "Her." Unless it's short for Hermione. Or Hermia. Or Hera. Hmm.
Why does Cora call David "Prince Charming"? Only Snow calls him "Charming," (not even "Prince Charming"). He's "Prince James" to everyone else.
Did anyone else think that Regina's hair was shorter at the beginning of this episode than in the middle of the episode? Maybe it's just me.
Poor Emma. What could be worse than having Henry tell her that she's like Regina?
I wonder what Neal would say if he knew that the whole curse was placed basically so that Rumpel could find him. That shows devotion, doesn't it?
Gold says two things that are sure to keep Neal from going back to Storybrooke with him. 1) There's magic there, and 2) "I'll make you 14 again."
The "three minute" exchange between Gold and Neal was so good. I really like Michael Raymond-James, who plays Neal.
I still don't understand why Gold didn't go back to acting like he did when he was "The Dark One" after the curse was broken. Maybe that kind of over-the-top dramatic demeanor only fits in the Enchanted Forest. Hmm.
Now we know the reason why Rumpel didn't place the curse himself. The seer told him that someone else would place the curse. And we know that Rumpel could predict the future - to a certain degree.
Why didn't Gold have eyes pop up on his hands when he received the gift of seeing the future? The poor seer couldn't even get rid of that. *wink*
So, since Henry was the one who convinced Emma who she was and made it possible for her to lift the curse, wouldn't Gold know at that moment that he was the child who would eventually lead him to Bae? Then why have we seen no foreshadowing before that Gold probably wants to kill Henry? Yes, we just found out what the Seer told Rumpel, but he's know it for a very long time.
Quotes:
Emma: Well, who doesn't want a surprise?
Emma: UPS package for 407.
Henry: Maybe you should have said "Fed Ex."
Neal: There's a bar down the street. We can talk there.
Emma: I'm not drinking with you. Whatever you have to tell me, tell me now!
Neal: No, the bar's better. Don't worry, you can keep yelling at me when we get there.
Henry: Don't worry, Emma's really good at catching people.
Emma: You left me and let me go to prison because Pinocchio told you to?
Neal: You know, there's not a ton about my father that I remember that doesn't suck.
Neal: Maybe something good came from us being together.
Emma: No. Not that I can think of. I just went to jail, that's it.
Seer: You will see tomorrow. When you see the army ride cows into battle, you will know I speak the truth.
Hook: To the untrained eye, a child's scribbles. But to a pirate - it's a map.
David: So, Rumpelstiltskin is Henry's grandfather?
Mary Margaret: Apparently.
David: But I'm his grandpa.
Mary Margaret: You can have more than one.
David: It's a good thing we don't have Thanksgiving in our land, 'cause that dinner would suck.
Mary Margaret: Or, maybe this will mellow everyone out.
Neal: How old are you?
Emma: Don't answer him.
Neal: How old are you, kid!?
Henry: Eleven! Now, why is everyone yelling?
Gold: There's no greater pain than regret.
Neal: Try abandonment.
Gold: Give me a chance. You once loved me.
Neal: You were once a good man.
Seer: Knowing would not have made a difference.
Henry: So, you're my dad.
Neal: Yea.
Henry. I'm Henry.
Neal: It's nice to meet you, Henry. Sorry it took so long.
Henry: It's okay. You didn't know.
