Edzz wrote: Positives:

-Connection to Hat Trick

-Appearances of Guest Stars (And all their quirks, like the Blind Witch's breaths, James sexy grin, Sidney's love for Regina, and just all of Peter Pan)

-Focus on Henry Sr.

-Olympus and Tartarus

-Hades is played by a great actor

-Henry and Henry's scene was so sad :'(

-This episode's Mcguffin was the Dunbroch Ale, which has been used before, so I liked it.

-Touched on the retconniness of Regina's abilities in being able to kill Snow.

Negatives:

-Kinda Retcons "Mother"

-They could have easily put Granny, Red and the Blue Fairy in the dinner scene with Snow.

-Robin doesn't even wonder if his wife is in the Underworld, or share it with anyone!

-NO MARIAN

-Guest Stars only appeared for a short time except Cora and Henry

-Didn't show Blacktooth's death at the hands of Regina, which we were all expecting.

-Too much backstory that was unnessesary.

-Didn't focus enough on the ensemble or some of the guest stars. It doesn't retcon Mother at all. Obviously Mother happens after Hat Trick, before Queen of Hearts. Cora didn't come through the mirror, which Regina has in her room in this episode and in Mother (suggesting they happened near each other), and it's shown in this episode that Regina cursed the mirror so Cora could never come through it again. Thus, having to use the rabbit.
