Okay so the episode doesn't air in the UK until Netflix uploads it on Wednesday but as always I can't wait that long so SPOILERS AHEAD.
The Price:
Since this is a review, I will try my best to take my shipping goggles off and not be negative towards any of my anti ships so if you feel like I missed a part of the episode out, that might be why.
This episode was better than the season premiere in my opinion. Still a little slow for the beginning of a season. I just feel like not a lot has happened. I don't know if I'm just being overly critical, but that's just how I feel about this season so far.
That being said, I do love the Dark Swan. I think Jennifer Morrison does an ace job of being dark. Not sure who's house that is she stole and how there is a random cave thing going on in there but I'll go with it. I'm used to things being weird on this show at this point. I appreciate seeing that Dark One Rumple is inside Emma's head. I like learning new things about the Dark One and it does make me feel more sympathy for Rumple since he clearly had to go through this too and he was more easily manipulated or influenced than Emma. I'm curious to know why Emma erased their memories (other than plot convenience) so o guess that's one way to keep this whole memory loss thing mildly interesting (I'm sorry, but I can't get behind the repeated plot)
Anyway... I don't trust anyone from Camelot. First there was whatshisface who is now dead. But Arthur and Guinevere were acting shady as heck. Like legit the first thing she asks him in Storybrooke is where Excalibur is?! Priorities.
Anyway the main part of this episode revolved around Regina. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of Regina to be completely honest. I personally think her redemption was extremely rushed and I don't believe that people would forgive her so quickly after everything. I do believe in second chances in certain cases but Snow gave her so many chances in the Enchanted Forest and she broke them again and again so I don't see why she deserves another one. Therefore, I do not like the idea of her being the Saviour. If anyone was to be the Saviour, it should be Henry. I realise that he's the Author so that might rule him out but he is the purest out of everyone plus he has True Love with Emma (obviously not a romantic love, but Emma broke the curse with TLK on Henry.) So it would make sense.
That being said, I appreciate that Regina is trying. I don't like it, but since I watch the show and this is the direction they're taking it, at least she is trying. I liked that all of them (Regina, Snow, Charming and Leroy) defeating the Fury together. Snow is a cutie. Although for the woman who was so determined to have another baby, leaves baby Neal at practically every chance she gets, but let's not go there.
There was a worrying lack of Zelena in this episode. I'm also not a big fan of hers (although I think that's kinda the point where she's concerned). Me and my Twitter friend have a couple of theories floating around especially because when they got back from Camelot, she was covering her wrist so we couldn't tell if she was wearing her magic restricting bracelet. Will be interesting to learn if she's involved with anything (or she could just be in the asylum but you never know!)
I like Henry having a crush! So cute! He's so grown up (it actually makes me feel so old seeing pictures and whatnot of season one) although I'm mildly concerned that she also might be part of the shady Camelot crew and I would be upset to see Henry get hurt, but we shall see!
To summarize: these last two episodes whilst being a little bit of a slow start have still been pretty interesting and I am definitely excited to see more Dark One Emma!
