- This show is really becoming my guilty pleasure. Magic! Fairy Tales! Awkward family reunions! Princes with wifi! :D
- I really kind of loved Snow & Charming's Emma glomping. AWWWWW! It's fun to see how much Emma is like Charming. Snow's all "I NEED TO BOND WITH MY DAUGHTER!" and the other two are like "erm... that's like feelings and stuff."
- Rumple/Belle should be interesting since he wants to continue the badness and Belle wants to hold his leash (in a "you must be good" way). I expect an epic battle of wills to come.
- I have to say I like how it wound up with Emma and Snow off in Fairy Tale Land (forced mother-daughter bonding! XD) and Charming's with Henry in Storybrook for some male bonding.
- Neat little twist with Mulan and Aurora - I thought sure we were seeing a flashback, but nope. It was happening at the same time. And by trying to save Regina, they ended up killing Phillip.
- I was a bit put out that both Aurora and Mulan were presumably in love with Philip. (Can't a woman be around a guy without falling for him?) But now that he's dead I can still ship Mulan/Aurora, right? I want that for reasons.
- So. Dude at the beginning of the ep - Henry's father? I'd still like Henry's father to be Bae. Again, for reasons. :D (And I'd like him to be a bit interesting and have chemistry with Emma. But if not, oh well.)

Awkwardest family reunion ever? I think it might be. Emma's like "UM OKAY AND NOW WE'RE HUGGING." Poor Emma. That's a lot to deal with.
I wondered if the Mulan and Aurora thing was present time, but I thought maybe they were in the real world somehow. Did not expect it to actually be slightly ahead of real time (flashforward, sorta?). Neat twist. I agree with you on them both being in love with him -- come on, really? I wish Mulan had said something about him being more like a brother, but no. Sigh.
I definitely suspect that dude of being Henry's father, but that's what I first thought about August, too. Looking forward to finding out!

It is! I think it's almost good she's stuck with Snow in the other world so they can spend some time getting to know each other properly. While being badass, of course.

Yeah. Hmph. Why couldn't they just do that?

Good point. But eventually one of them has to be, right? :D

But what was with the Dementor/Ringwraith? Are they both officially fairy tales now?
When Aurora was interrogating Mulan about loving Philip, I had a whole Loki/Natasha flashback...almost expected Mulan to argue, I owe him a debt...

THANKSGIVINGS WILL BE SO AWKWARD. XD

It sort of sounds like they're drawing from a bigger fiction pool than just fairy tales. There's a rumor that Dr. Whale will be Dr. Frankenstein.

I'm okay with the two girls loving Philip, if only because he's always been my favorite Disney prince (he and Eric are just about the only ones with personalities), so I can see it.
Definitely looking forward to things with Belle and Rumple. They're both just so damaged.
Also, I totally want wallpaper branches that let me threaten people. That could be super handy.

I don't know why, but I'm very Show/Awkward OTP! XD

I can't really remember him, but I haven't seen Sleeping Beauty in AGES.

Totally. I wouldn't mind if we saw Belle being a bit more messed up.

It's just so fun! But whenever I tell someone about it, they hear "fairy tales" and tune out. :|
Um, HELL YES with Belle winning. He eventually has to become a "prince" right? Or at least she'll get him to use his magic for good and breaking his own curse (maybe)??
You'd think it'd be endgame, unless they want Belle to go darkside. And since this is a Disney/ABC thing, I sort of doubt they'd do that.
Yeah I *handwaved* that out of the way and decided on a sibling/brothers in arms bond for Mulan and Philip. Unless the show tells me otherwise that is what I'm going to believe. Mulan is too cool for that.
YES.
I saw your cut spoiler for the rumour of who Doctor Whale is. All I can say is: interesting.
It sort of makes sense.

As for Mulan and Aurora, I like them and I will act as if she wasn't lying when she said that she wasn't in love with Philip (probably wrong but it hurts no one). It's funny that Aurora said the same thing to Milan that Charming said to Snow when they first met. The whole "Girl/Woman" exchange. So, I will ship them together until I feel otherwise (sidenote: somebody said that they couldn't tell Aurora and Belle apart, which I find hard to believe as I don't think they look anything alike).

I LOVE this little family and all their awkard! I can't even be upset that they're separated since now we'll get some Emma-Snow bonding.

:D Someone pointed out that parallel exchang and it was like, oooooooh. :D

Snow's all "I NEED TO BOND WITH MY DAUGHTER!" and the other two are like "erm... that's like feelings and stuff."
Haha, that was the best part, Emma's uncomfortable WTF-I'm being hugged face and Charming cautiously extending a hand to pat her hair before going for the hug XD Also, the casual one-nigh-stand reveal, lol.
And by trying to save Regina, they ended up killing Phillip.
Ugh, yeah, look at what people do for you Regina even after what you have done, but you are still so evil :/
I can still ship Mulan/Aurora, right?
Hell, yes, shipped it since the "You are a girl?" - 'Woman" moment. If we had seen more of Phillip and known him better maybe I would have cared more about him but, alas, the episode was pretty much the beginning of a beautiful Mulan/Aurora friendship ;)

I'm glad that whole Mary Margaret/David thing is over. It was getting annoying.

I loved all of it!

A womance? Dang, there needs to be a female bromance equivalent.
no subject
Ditto. I was over that after like a handful of episodes.
I sometimes see a term "galmance", I'm not sure how established it is but whatever, using it. Fandom is the best place to coin words XD
Also, the little time Philip was on screen he managed to annoy me at least twice. "AURORA YOU LIFTED A FINGER YOU MUST REST NOW", and she's like "GTFO DUDE I JUST WOKE UP FROM A 28-YEAR-LONG SLEEP". He treated Mulan like an equal and Aurora like a ~precious fragile thing~.

I am so loving this show. :-D
"erm... that's like feelings and stuff."
*snerk* She is just so not used to the touchy feely stuff. I guess she's going to get to have plenty of time with Snow to get used to it, eh?
So. Dude at the beginning of the ep - Henry's father? I'd still like Henry's father to be Bae. Again, for reasons. :D (And I'd like him to be a bit interesting and have chemistry with Emma. But if not, oh well.)
Maaaaybe? I'm definitely hoping for Bae. Not so sure about the Henry's father thing. I could be misremembering, I suppose, but I thought Emma had... issues with Henry's father? I vaguely recall some hints of something unsavory, anyway. I wouldn't want Bae to be that.

Yeah, it's pretty much already like this: XD

I think Emma basically said he was a douchenozzle, but I think I'd be okay with that. This show is big on redemption, so he could change.

Maybe, but he seemed like such an awesome kid, and I'd hate for him to change that much. On the other hand, I suppose if my father didn't love me enough to give up his power and let me fall on my own to some strange magicless land... I might be an embittered douchnozzle, too. OK, I can see it.

I'm going to join you in this. For reasons.

Looking forward to Snow/Emma bonding, wherever they are.
And yes to Aurora/Mulan. Make it happen, show.

And I'm looking forward to Snow/Emma bonding too! (And Aurora/Mulan.)
