Some major dislike for this episode I take it?

I can kinda see why though. The way Ariel was reintroduced with her legs and voice may be confusing for some, same with Jafar breaking his genie curse and with some timeline inconsistencies but as others have mentioned these things can be explained away.

For me my loves for the episode came from Ariel, Prince Eric, Jasmine, Aladdin and drunken Snow! All were brilliant. Acting was great, costumes were good, Snow beating Vikings at darts was hilarious. I also loved Aesops Tables and "Aesop", I also liked the names of the drinks! Agrabah looked great, Im liking this new Regina and OUATiW is defo cannon. (as it should be as it was an amazing series).

What I disliked about the episode was Hook, Captain Nemo, Jafar, Henry, Emma and Gideon. Hated the fact they were stuck in the Nautilus and could return home because they lacked Krakken Blood or ink or whatever they needed. Captain nemo says they have run out and when Hook replied lets catch a Krakken he says dont be silly i have spent my life running from these creatures! What? If thats so how did you get the Krakken's blood or whatever in the first place. The realise the nautilus is sinking so when they reach Hangmans Island they decide to seek safety on the ship? What? Are you idiots?

Hook they decides to kill a Krakken but when Aladdin and Jasmine turn up he forgets that idea and decides I know who will help me return to Storybrook a evil sorcerer whom he somehow knows can travel between realms and he believes he can "talk him into helping". What? God you're foolish!

Jafar just seems really easy to defeat. Some "all powerful" genie he turned out to be. His strange motivation for destroying Agrabah seemed really stupid and apparently he only trapped the capital of Agrabah in the ring so how come when the wish was granted they were not taken to the land where Agrabah was and into one of the remaining cities of Agrabah?

Henry was pointless sorry mate but all you ever seem to do is listen to music and just sit there looking depressed ALL THE TIME!

Emma was all like well if Leroy spotted Hook on the docks going onto the nautilus well thats that then hes gone forever. She just completly gives up on the man who had just proposed to you. Yes he killed Davids dad and he was not sure he was going to tell David but everything else that Hook has done for Emma and the Charming family over the past three years means nothing to her. Yet as soon as the message from "convient mermaid magic shell" she burst into tears and forgives him completly and is all like I love you! Seriously? Inconsistant much. Both reactions are at the furthest part of the spectrum which seems really strange.

Oh and Gideon? What was that? Yes the tear thing did not borther me so much, blood magic and all that exists so why not but are you keeping that for blackmail, or to use to create some curse? Seems odd. But the bigger problem was I did not see the point of him. Hes our big bad but has he been? He has not really done anything yet, I am hoping he will do something and for once is it possible to get a major villian who does not get redemption later?

I know it seems like I have a lot of hate for the episode too but I dont. I actually really enjoyed it on the whole, a filler episode but not the worst we have had but not the best, more middle of the road. I give it 7/10. Some really great moments.

I do have a question though, well a few actually. How long before the 1st curse was Prince Eric in Agrabah? I mean was it close to the curse being cast? Is it likely he travelled out of Agrabah before the curse? And where was Aladdin when the curse was cast? Was he still in Agrabah? I assumed the curse did not reach Agrabah at all but I could be wrong.

Cant wait for the next episode :)
