And as you say, their version of Snow/Mary Margaret is wonderful.<br /><br />Henry always seems to miss a few episodes a season for whatever reason. Usually, I've noticed he's featured more prominently in the one right before or after. From the previews, it looks like he might be more of a factor this Sunday, but we'll have to wait and see.<br /><br />I'm really enjoying this flip on season 1 where Emma knows the truth and Henry doesn't. I'm sure he'll get his memories back before the season is over, but for now I'm enjoying this twist on things.Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-80438796928110338612014-04-23T09:54:10.114-07:002014-04-23T09:54:10.114-07:00Good recap!

MM: I'm not sure that's physically possible right now...<br /><br />I love how Snow/MM has a spunk that I never would have imagined based on the fairytale version of her.<br /><br />I was disappointed that there was no Henry in this episode. His character was so prominent and now he's really faded into the background. My boys miss seeing him, too - I think he's a draw for the child viewers. I can't wait until his "heart of the truest believer" is back in business!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420388082444716211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-66005333344118616672014-04-21T10:32:59.840-07:002014-04-21T10:32:59.840-07:00I think I've mentioned that I spent the break ...I think I've mentioned that I spent the break between Neverland and Oz rewatching season 1 and almost half of season 2. Really interesting to go back and watch stuff again knowing what we know now. And it really does still all hold together.<br /><br />Last night wasn't the first time we'd seen Eva being mean to Cora. It was also in "The Miller's Daughter." She was the one who tripped Cora, which again makes me think all that was after the events we saw tonight.<br /><br />I'm not up on my Oz enough to know if the witches there were sisters or not. I do know that East and West were, which is one reason the Wicked Witch of the West had it in for Dorothy. It wasn't about the shoes (like in the movie). It was because Dorothy had killed her sister.<br /><br />Considering they often play off the love is weakness or strength motif on the show, I bet that Zelena's love for Gold is part of her undoing. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. Good theory.Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-37005382613376712402014-04-21T09:29:17.581-07:002014-04-21T09:29:17.581-07:00Great episode filling in a lot of things we had be...Great episode filling in a lot of things we had been wondering about. My theory that Zelina was born out of wedlock proved true and in a better fashion than I thought. Weird how Cora's daughter goes on to marry now King Leopold when her mother almost married him! I wish Zelina's father had had some kind of red hair :)<br /><br />Loved Emma's line after the reveal of how mean Princess Ava was, "Isn't our family supposed to be the good ones?" Ha ha - guess not.<br /><br />I too have questions about how these people changed over the course of time. I have been thinking I also need to go back and rewatch the series in light of what we know now. Maybe that will be my Summer project just like Castle was last Summer.<br /><br />I believe next week's episode will reveal a lot as we are going to back to the year that disappeared from everyone's memories and we get to meet Glinda! Now in the real OZ story, wasn't Glinda the sister to the wicked witch? Obviously, unless Cora was more promiscuous than we think :), that won't fly here. And speaking of flying - loved the flying monkey's reaction to Zelina wanting to give the suit to Gold to wear. I wonder if her "love" for Gold in going to have a part in her downfall. For a moment there she really fell for his trick and you could see how devastated she was after he went back to his cage.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286032807894115704noreply@blogger.com
