I love this episode so much!!! Thank you very much for another reaction! I can't wait for more!!! :) Now... I really love both the past storyline with the Evil Queen in the Enchanted Forest, as well as Regina (the Evil Queen) in Storybrooke too. My favorite scenes being between the Evil Queen and Rumplestiltskin in his prison when she asks about the curse and it's revealed that she must crush the heart of the thing you love most... and between Regina and Mr. Gold in the very end by Regina's apple tree. The actors who play them, play off of one another very well. They're both brilliant and their characters are so powerful and scary. I think that the actor who plays Rumplestiltskin and Gold... Robert Carlyle, is very good at being crazy and he's a phenomenal character in this show. As for how Gold appears to be awake... from Regina's face of shock in the very end upon realizing that he must be, and it's clear she never intended for him to be. However, him possibly being aware of the truth, is fantastic! It's helps to build up the mysteriousness around him. :) I also really love the friction and battle of whits between Regina and Emma too. They also play off of one another very well. I think it was hilarious that Emma cut one of the branches from her apple tree, because Emma sensed the Mayor's threat towards her in the beginning when she came to give Emma a basket of apples. And while yes... what Emma does here is a felony against the law and because they live in the real world, the laws are the same, the laws of the real world outside of Storybrooke doesn't necessarily work in the same way as they do in Storybrooke. Storybrooke is a world filled with fairytale characters, brought over from the Enchanted Forest. And while no one remembers who they really are... Regina does and so she doesn't necessarily abide by the laws like she would be held to outside of their town. And she's the Mayor, so she can enforce them however she wishes to. And I really love this! Next... I really love the scene between the Evil Queen and her father just before she kills him by ripping out his heart with her bare hands. It's so dark and yet so sad too because you really see the pain her eyes doing so causes her. Regina's evil and is willing to go so far that she was able to kill her own father, which makes her a terrifying enemy. I also really love that we find out the Henry is named after her father. It's sweet, but also twisted since she killed her father. But her naming Henry after her father, it shows us that Regina really does love Henry in spite of how cruel she can be even to him. I also really enjoy this show's portrayal of Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty too. She is really dark and creepy, and I love that her castle is in the Forbidden Fortress. As for her look... she's rarely seen with her hair let out at all in any story of Sleeping Beauty, because she usually wears the black cowl with horns which covers up her hair. The only time outside of Once Upon a Time in which we see her hair is in the movie Maleficent with Angelina Jolie, when she wears her hair down. Oh... and Pongo from 101 Dalmatians is the dalmatian we see being walked by Archie/Jiminy Cricket in Storybrooke. Archie is Pongo's owner. In this show, you will see pretty much every fairytale character from all fairytales from the Disney movies, the Brothers Grimm fairytales, Hans Christian Anderson fairytales, fables, nursery rhymes, and even tall tales that you could possibly think of... all brought together in the same world. This show is so creative and beautiful, and all of the characters are brilliantly casted and amazing! And lastly... I really love the moments between Emma and Mary Margaret. How Mary Margaret helps Emma by bailing her out of jail, tells Emma that she feels like she knows Emma and that she trusts her, and encourages her to stay in town to take care of Henry. There are some really beautiful moments between them in this episode. Thank you so much again. I really enjoyed your reaction for it and I'm so happy you enjoyed this episode too. Hopefully, you will grow to love Once Upon a Time. That end scene between Gold and the Mayor usually gets everyone so intrigued to watch more. I can't wait for your reaction for the next episode!!! Snow Falls is one of my favorite episodes from this season, so I'm so excited! Until then...

But, he designed the curse in such a way so that when he hears Emma's name, he would remember. Having been doing my own rewatch of the series, this fact did stay consistant for the duration of Seasons 1 and 2, but I think it may get kind of retconned later, from what I heard? I don't remember everything, and I abandoned the show during Season 4B, so, yeah. 2) Yes, it's true. In the Pilot, Snow said that the Queen wanted to kill her because she was beautiful, just like in the original tale and movie. But that got changed. Just gotta accept that the creators didn't have everything planned out
