All those that have yet to watch
last night’s episode of Once Upon A Time,
entitled ‘Quite a Common Fairy’, or are not caught up in the show at all,
please go and do so now. This is not a spoiler free blog. THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! You’ve been warned.
For a non-Emma centric storyline,
this was a solid episode. I have to say that I think I prefer the Fairytale
Land That Was scenes for Regina when she’s not the Evil Queen. It’s much nicer
seeing her with a bit of innocence still left in her eyes, and the long hair
definitely helps to age her down.
Before Regina basically betrays
Tinkerbell by not going to the man that should be her soul mate, I really
enjoyed the friendship they were beginning to have. It was nice seeing Regina
friendly around someone and not plotting their death. The two actresses seem to
have easy friendship chemistry between them; they bounced off each other very
nicely. If Regina hadn’t done what she had, I’m certain they could’ve been good
friends.
I really think it’s moronic to change
it from Emma being the savior to Henry being the savior. The boy that plays him
is not a good actor, and he’s rather annoying to look at because of this. Every
scene he’s in I just hope he keeps him mouth shut because everything with him
is so much worse when he speaks. It’s like he’s constantly just trying too
hard, exuberating too much intensity into everything
he does, it’s distracting. That’s why every storyline that focuses around him
is just something I don’t look forward to.
Was I the only one that saw Robin
Hood being Regina’s soul mate coming? It was so very obvious from the back of
his head that I was just waiting to see the tattoo pop up. Though I could’ve
sworn earlier on it was on the other arm. While this isn’t a bad idea, am I supposed
to believe that Maid Marion either died or is not his true love? That’s rather
idiotic when the basis for Robin Hood heavily relies on the fact that he loves
Maid Marion. Just another Beauty and the Beast storyline that I won’t like,
just this time at least the age difference isn’t ridiculous.
While I’m glad to see Neal has
gotten to Neverland, I do hope that the relationship between Hook and Emma can
still continue to grow. The chemistry between these two people is just amazing,
and they almost work together better than her and Neal. After all, Neal did
leave her and chose not to come back when her destiny was basically fulfilled –
which, again, happened a season too soon.
What is this business about magic
dying? How can magic die? It’s not like there’s a finite amount of it, or that
it’s a living creature. I just find it ridiculous that that is what they’ve set
up this “heart of the truest believer” nonsense in order to save it. Maybe that’s
just going a little hard on them, but I just can’t understand the logic to it.
Are they going to set up so that technology is the big evil causing kids to no
longer believe in magic? I just… I don’t know.
My rating: 7 out of 10.
Best Lines:
“Which will end in your death, and more importantly mine.” –
Hook says to Regina about her just magicking them to Pan’s camp.
“Where I used to live, that’s it.” – Emma answers her own
question about what Tinkerbell’s lair reminds her of.
Okay, I’m off to watch Revenge,
then I’ll be calling it a night. I’m all caught up in shows after the one more.
Yippee!
