ah LM you haven't let me down. I knew you must be busy. As for funko I only bought Rumple and Belle and will probably end up buying the nerd Belle at some point. There're cute to be sure, but I don't want to start collecting the lot of them. You should see the barbies I still have jammed in my closets!
And think we got the hint last night that Rumple has good in him. Adam Horowitz pretty much hinted at it in an interview I read. He will be the first Dark One who is good.WOW! Last night had me crying within j1.30 minutes of the show opening. That was some scene between Neal and Emma. I had searched but seen no mention of him coming. And there he was. It was bittersweet but great that they found a way to include him. Then I'm balling at the end when Cora is going to kill Henry I and Regina's heroism saves him. Her love of him kept the fire off him and he walked into the light after meeting his namesake. Again a special moment that only Once can do. The show had continuity issues but they explained that away with this version of Purgatory being a fractured image of Storybrooke. Regina didn't know about it but apparently people who had died long ago ended up there. I'm anxious to see how they play it.And I saw the casting bit for two new characters for the final episodes and next season. Not happy about them because one is named Jacob and any LOSTIE will tell you that Jacob was the power of good. Can't remember what the power of evil was but if I get a few minutes I'll look it up. Nathaniel is also being casted and they are brothers. Also the evil woman from Heroes will be playing some sort of mentor to Emma in flashbacks after foster but before Bailbondsman.
My thoughts on the episode#1 considering this was the landmark 100th episode I was a little disappointed that it focused so much on Regina and not on the show as a whole and as I've probably said too many times, I'm so tired of revisiting the bandit Snow era over and over and OVER again! ...however, this may actually be one of the better flashbacks to this time that they've done, if only because they answered the question of how Henry Sr. ended up in a tiny box in Wonderland. And Regina was in her best evil form as well.#2 The opening with Baelfire wasn't as bad as I feared, but it still sucks that he didn't get to spend any time with his son or his father and what the heck does 'bagel' mean and why do nasty people refer to Baelfire as that on the internet? The same people like to call Rumple Goldemort, which I assume is a Harry Potter reference (never did read those books). The overall tone of the boards I was reading (imdb) has turned incredibly nasty for some reason. I never bothered to get an account and post there and now I know I made the right call.#3 Gas is $15 a gallon in the underworld! That's hilarious. #4 Not enough Rumple. I was really hoping we'd get some kind of peek at what Rumple's real plan is (please tell me he has one!) with the new deeper darkness.#5 the grandpa scene between the Henrys was sweet (got a tear in my eye), but why is there never any character development between Henry and Rumple? He didn't even try to A) stop Henry from coming to the underworld or B) to make him leave on Cora's boat. Rumple used to at least try to protect Henry. Why the change? It can't just be because he's 14ish now. #5 I thought the guy playing Hades did a great job... right until his hair turned blue and then he just looked silly. Granted I haven't scene that particular Disney movie yet.#6 is seems clear that the only way for someone to leave 'the underworld' and go back to the land of the living (as opposed to someplace better or worse) is to trade places with a living soul... umm so what's the plan with Hook again? Sure you can split Emma's heart, but she's gonna feel awfully silly taking half a heart on a date without a body around it. Maybe she can make a tiny hook to glue to the half-heart? Being the Dark One did show us that Emma has a crafty side. Quote from: LindaM on March 07, 2016, 09:51:11 AMAnd think we got the hint last night that Rumple has good in him.

This evil re-up of his is really upsetting to me if he did it just for the evil power. I need him to have a plan that makes everything ok somehow!I don't think Cora or Regina had anything to do with the fire. Clearly Cora can call it up, but whether the person goes down into the fire (the worse place) or across to the light (the better place) is up to the soul itself, not to Cora. What Regina did was give Henry Sr. closure which made him ready to leave. So perhaps the fire can't actually take anyone to either place unless the soul is ready.Still a bit confused about the underworld looking like Storybrooke because the curse what? came from Hades? If our Storybrooke was modeled on the underworld, then why does the underworld look like a smallish American/Canadian town from our world in the twentieth century? I haven't read that casting tidbit, but I do remember clearly (I rewatched Lost season's 5 & 6 about a year ago) that Jacob's twin was never given a name on the show (for whatever reason). Everyone just seems to refer to him as 'the man in black'.
