The New Neverland

Finally, after 9 long episodes in Neverland, we are finally back in Storybrooke, which I have missed so dearly! I loved this episode, especially the first five minutes seeing everyone reunite! Of course, the Rumbelle one was my favourite and that kiss! Oh my God, it was so perfect! Even if there was no proposal, it was so nice to hear Rumple say all he wants for the future is to be with her! I liked the conflict with Regina and Emma over 'Henry', considering it wasn't as dramatic and they now acknowledge that they're both his mothers! And as for the popular character dying, revealed to be Blue/Mother Superior, it may have seemed pointless, but I shall miss her even if she was a bitch to Tink and separated Rumple and Bae and was manipulative...wait a minute! Surprisingly, I liked the acting with Jared and Robbie being each other and the way Henry was able to convince them he wasn't Pan, even Gold apologizing for doubting him!
As for the flashbacks, they may seem pointless since the Snow and Regina wanting to kill each other thing is getting old, but I like that Snow realizes there's no point & she shouldn't be worrying (on her own honeymoon as well, she needs to relax). I liked the mentioning of 2x10 when they stopped Regina's execution and it finally explained why Snow wanted to stop Regina: so they could have a child and Regina wouldn't be a threat to it (well, her!) That's all I have to say on the flashbacks, they were my problem as well as the CGI on Medusa! And as for the twist with the new curse, this is going to be a very interesting new turn if it is cast (which is most likely judging the promo and I seriously doubt Rumple will die) and we shall have to wait until next week's winter finale!

Love Belle being so supportive to Ariel!

N'aww! Nice to see Ariel get her prince after everything she's been through!

Aww, nice to see Ariel & Snow reunite!

AWW!!! The way they look at each other!

Why did Felix come with them again? And where are the Lost Boys going to live?

AWWW!!! How I've missed their hugging!

Sorry, I can't help it, they look so cute together!

AWWWW!!! The Stiltskin family together! So much floofiness!

Aww! The Darling family together at last!

Don't blame Belle for sticking by him!

Finally, Regina getting the credit she deserves!

I'm sorry, I don't like Snow's wedding dress!

Perfect opportunity to look at his butt in them leather pants!

Despite the obvious continuity error, AWWW!!!! I seriously think they had sex inbetween him changing from his leather outfit to his suit with the way they're flirting & her adjusting his tie!

Aww, her face bless her! Loving her new hair!

AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! Please excuse me as as I cry with happiness! Who bets they didn't go to the party at Granny's cos they had sex?

Love Regina sticking up for Tink!

Aww! Nice cape to conceal Ginny's pregnancy!

Why can't they see it's not Henry?

Nice to see Gold keep his end of the bargain!

Poor Neal! :(

EMMA'S RED JACKET! *Sighs* How I've missed it so after over a season of not seeing it!

I think we have a new ship... 

Meh, glad she's dead! Never liked her anyway!

Despite the CGI, the design of Medusa looks pretty cool!

Hands up if you think he'll be revived! All of you? OK!

Thought so! Nice mention of Frederick (Remember? Abigail's love who was turned to gold!)

Nice to see them all together!

Aww, love Belle linking her arm with Gold!

Nice nightgown! Looks cosy!

Hmm, so this is why they were filming in the graveyard!

YOU ASSHOLE! WHY IS THIS ALWAYS MY REACTION TO THE END OF EACH EPISODE?!

Save Henry

Finally, after that one week hiatus, OUAT is finally back with 3 more episodes before the 12 week midseason hiatus! So what did I think of it? Well, I'm glad we finally got to see how Henry was adopted (remember, Regina was never cursed for those who are wondering how she kept her memories and after leaving she could cross the barrier before you call it a plot hole) & how is affected Regina since it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows after she adopted him, and that she always had a hole in her heart like Rumple said before the curse was enacted. As for the Neverland scenes, I liked seeing how much Henry means to Regina since he's literally the only person she has left and how everyone is willing to work together to save him from Pan! I also liked seeing the Neverland plot finally being concluded ( well mostly) and that we'll get to finally go back to Storybrooke as of next week! I think what I loved most was that it reminded me of season 1, and not just because of seeing Storybrooke again, but also because of the character development and seeing characters again like Dr Whale, cursed Archie, Granny and even Sidney's voice on the phone to Regina! By the way, that twist with the body switch at the end, WHAT THE HELL?! Can't there be a happy ending instead of the villain managing to secretly find a way to win?! Well, besides that, I loved this episode!

This scene is so season 1!

HAHAHA! 'I need a child Gold, and I need your help!' 'Well, I'm flattered, but uninterested!' 'Not like that!'

And there you have it! Regina finally holding her baby son!

Nice haircut, Dr Whale! And why would you put a baby on a giant hospital bed? He could easily fall over!

And to think this'll be Ginny soon when she's finally a mother!

Uh, I think you need reminding Regina that Gold doesn't remember as of yet!

What the- HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! HOW DID THEY REMAIN THE SAME AGE FOR 11 YEARS AND HOW DID THEY KNOW HE WAS THE BOY PAN WANTED?!

OBVIOUS TRAP MARY MARGARET!

Haha! love Emma's face when she finds out Rumple is Pan's son!

GO REGINA!

Perfect moment for many SwanQueen shippers out there!

Nice seeing more of Charming & Hook!

Nice to see Archie looking out for Regina!

Nice reference to Disney's Snow White with the potion! So that's how she didn't know Emma in the Pilot...

AWW!!! All the Rumple daddy feels!

AWW! How many more family feels do we need?!

GO RUMPLE!

Finally going home!

Nice little moment for Wendy and Tink!

WHAT AN ASSHOLE!
