I think that no matter what can be said for this episode, one thing remains absolute: it was a bit interesting....
DISCLAIMER: If you have not watched this episode and do not want it to be spoiled for you, then DO NOT READ ON.
First things first, I'm kind of happy that the writers decided to acknowledge that Baby Neal was in Storybrooke all by himself-it was about time. However, I feel like they were just trying to push Snow out of the Underworld (probably) because Ginnifer Goodwin is pregnant again.
Speaking of getting rid of people, what in the world happened to Robin? He hasn't even been a major part in the last few episodes and he didn't even make an appearance in this one. However, he is in the promo for the next episode, so you can check that out in my "Related Videos" section.
Also, what's the whole deal of Belle putting herself under a sleeping curse so that Hades couldn't speed up her pregnancy? I'm not going to lie, that was a pretty dumb idea. And to top it off, she said that Rumple couldn't wake her up, her dad would do it. I mean, I do hate Rumple from the bottom of my heart, but that's not how a sleeping curse works. And I know there's different kinds of true love, such as that of family, but that kind of bordered pedophilia from my perspective.
I really didn't understand the big fuss about Zelena putting Dorothy under a sleeping curse back in Oz. She went on about how she had done something worse than wicked because Dorothy supposedly didn't have someone who loved her, but come on, Zelena has done way worse than that Plus sleeping curses seem to become a trend nowadays anyway, so it didn't seem particularly significant.
Speaking of Dorothy, I don't think we can ignore the elephant in the room much longer.
DISCLAIMER: Before I begin, I'd like to point out that I'm an avid supporter of the LGBT+ community, and the following criticism has nothing to do with sexual preferences of certain individuals.
So basically, I don't really support Ruby and Dorothy's relationship. Like I said, it has nothing to do with the fact that they're both female. In fact, I just think that the whole thing was way too rushed. I mean, the two must have only known each other for a few weeks, so how would they even fall in love that fast? I'm just kind of furious with Adam and Eddy (and the other writers) for giving a random couple TLK (True Love's Kiss) action, and not a couple that's been together for almost three years (aka CaptainSwan).
However, I feel the need to acknowledge the fact that the captain of my beloved ship had his fair share of adorable moments in this episode. Hook's bromance with David made me chuckle, especially when I remembered that they are soon-to-be in-laws. In addition, Hook seemed to be so proud of his handiwork when he crossed out Snow's name on the headstone, even though it looked like a five year old wrote it.
So I think that's all for now. I really surprised myself by updating so fast, especially since I haven't updated my fanfiction in about two and a half weeks. Hmm...I should probably get around to that.....Anyway, don't forget to watch Once Upon a Time on Sunday at 8 PM on ABC!
May you find peace in your fandoms.

OUAT 5x17: "Her Handsome Hero"
Truthfully, I didn't really enjoy this episode that much. Nonetheless, I need to provide my regular review.
DISCLAIMER: If you have not watched this episode and do not want it to be spoiled for you, then DO NOT READ ON.
First of all, this episode had too many things going on at once. I know, I know--OUAT episodes are usually like that, but none of the occurrences in this episode seemed to be linked together.
My favorite part of this episode had to be when Emma, Snow, and Hook were in Regina's vault and Emma casually said, "I don't have any issues." That line made me laugh so much because we all know that's not true. However, I can personally identify with that as I, too, tend to pretend I don't have any problems.
Once again, Belle disappointed me by going back to Rumple. At first she admitted that she "allows her optimism to cloud her judgment", but later on she ran into Rumple's arms;basically it's one step forward, two steps back with her.
As for Gaston, I don't really know what to think. When he first appeared, I was pretty confused because he didn't appear to be the vain, selfish Gaston we know from the Disney movie. I was watching this episode with my cousin and she also pointed out something to me that I never even thought of: Belle and her father are supposed to be relatively poor townspeople, not in charge of their own kingdom. I know Adam and Eddy like to put their own spin on the Disney versions, but that's just an insignificant detail that they should've stuck to.
Later on, we saw that Gaston actually had "demonic fire" in his eyes or whatever that book was talking about, which meant that he was evil with bad intentions or something like that (I wasn't really paying attention-I was too busy explaining the show to my cousin). This was also a little strange, but by this point I just went with it.
As much as I don't like Gaston, he is far better than Rumple, and I was actually pretty disappointed when he was pushed into the River of Lost Souls by Belle. After that incident, Hades showed up and cleverly got out of the deal he made with Belle by finding a loophole. Although they're not a good representation of my house, if their ever were true Slytherins, it would be Hades and Rumple. They're each an embodiment of what it means to be cunning and self-sufficient, even if it's for evil intentions.
So those were basically my thoughts on the episode. The next episode of Once Upon a Time is tonight at 8 PM so be sure to watch!
May you find peace in your fandoms.

OUAT 5x16: "Our Decay"
I apologize for the delay, but better late than never! Here's my review for last Sunday's Once Upon A Time episode.
DISCLAIMER: If you have not watched this episode and do not want it spoiled for you, then DO NOT READ ON.
A big part of this episode was the budding romance between Zelena and Hades. I'm not going to lie, I found it just a tad bit creepy at the beginning. However, I grew to find myself oddly intrigued by the chemistry the two of them share. I also found myself uncertain of Hades' intentions. Does he really have feelings for Zelena or is it all part of a grand scheme to escape the Underworld? I'm very proud of Zelena for not immediately trusting him when they reunited in the Underworld because, as we've seen, he's got many tricks up his sleeve.
Once again, Belle really annoyed me in this episode. I understand that Zelena is not the most trustworthy witch in the world, but she has the right to have her baby. However, I am surprised that Belle didn't immediately forgive Rumple for being the Dark One again (I'll get back to that later).
Speaking of Zelena and her baby, I was also a little bit disappointed in Robin. Yes, I know, the baby is Robin's kid too, but he was being incredibly rude to Zelena. Granted, I can see where this stems from as Zelena engaged Robin in rape by deception (this is an actual thing and I realize it may be mature but that's what happened). But as we've witnessed, while Zelena is ruthless towards others, she really just cares about her child, and it's not right for Robin to keep the baby from her. When Zelena realized she couldn't keep the baby safe and gave her up, I was so touched. That is real character development.
Now back to Rumple. I really want to use some choice words to describe him, but I know it would be inappropriate, so I'll stop myself. However, Rumple was incredibly rude to Belle without even realizing it. He told her that he loves the dagger and he can't love her without being able to love it too. Is that materialistic or what? I swear to all that is holy, if Belle ends up running back to that no-good trash of a man, I'm going to be furious with Adam and Eddy.
My next post is going to be about tonight's episode of OUAT, so stay tuned. Also, please watch the show live as shows that don't get high enough live views get cancelled.
May you find peace in your fandoms.

OUAT 5x15: "The Brothers Jones"
This review isn't about the latest episode of Once Upon a Time, but rather the one directly before it. Now, without further ado, I present to you my take on the 5x15 episode, "The Brothers Jones."
DISCLAIMER: If you have not watched this episode and don't want it to be spoiled for you, then DO NOT READ ON.
I very much enjoyed this episode. Many of my friends actually found it quite boring, but I think Liam Jones' appearance was something that was bound to happen.
So let's address the elephant in the room: CaptainSwan. I admit that I was concerned that Killian had blindly trusted Liam, who treated Emma with discontent. Much like Emma told Regina, Liam is extremely self-righteous, which he doesn't have the right to be. Why act all high and mighty if you're actually selfish and a liar? I guess he picked it up from Rumple the first time he went to hell.
Luckily though, Emma and Hook ended up working it out. I was so excited when Hook admitted that he intended to have a future with Emma once they defeated Hades. I think that more writers of shows should take this situation in consideration. It is so much more pleasing to see a couple go through something tough and then end up happily when the episode is over. But putting us through severe pain in order to see happy moments again (trust me, it's happened)? That's not a good idea.
There's something that's been bugging me about Henry's situation lately. I understand that resurrecting Cruella would not have been the best idea, but I'm getting really annoyed by the Charming-Mills family. I don't like how whenever Henry is slightly detached, they make some snarky comment about him being "an emo teenager". I mean, what did they think was going to happen? Henry is growing up and is constantly neglected by the others, being told to stand watch when he could help. He is not a little kid anymore, and it bugs me that Regina and Emma are still holding him so close when he can take care of himself. My parents don't do that to me!
That's all for now. I'll update soon about the latest episode of Once Upon a Time when I get the chance.
May you find peace in your fandoms.
