I usually hate David Centrics, but really liked this one.

Likes:

-Induction of Pinnocchio Fairytale

-August

-Jiminy

-Keith

-WR Robin being his own person

-David getting some emotional depth

-King George

-Longstanding Mystery Solved

-We finally know where George is in the present day

-No retcon (I mean yes Pinnocchio is a little old and Hook should have been in Neverland, but at least those can be easily accounted for)

-Hamlet Parrallels

Dislikes:

-No Belle, Rumple, Gideon and hardly Zelena, or Henry (but an episode is only 40 mins)

-Zelena was jealous of Regina (rolls eyes)

-Pleasure Island should NOT be in the Enchanted Forest

-Pinnochio is old

-Predictable that Hook killed Robert

Loose Ends:

-How did James become evil after seeing George murder his father??

-HOW WAS PINNOCCHIO BAD FOR SO MANY YEARS?

Other than that great episode. I love Jane Espenson's writing, and she seemlessly integrates the continuity and timeline into an engaging episode.
