Ok, I"ll have to catch up on the thread as a whole later.

One thing though. Someone mentioned Emilie's wig. When Emilie was playing Belle before becoming pregnant herself, she actually colored her hair. When she became pregnant, she stopped coloring her hair (something to do with the chemicals used for coloring not being good for a pregnant woman), which resulted in her reverting to her natural blonde. She has since left her hair blonde and resorted to wearing a wig now.

Now onto the actual episode. First of all, When did they change the rules about the Dark Curse. The story has been, at least up until "Dark Waters" that time was frozen in all lands. Now all of the sudden we have Killian able to sail around in the JR? Admittedly, the actual cloud portion of the curse probably disipated after a few days, and the need for Cora's protection spell was removed. But people did not age in the EF (or so we were told). And yet now we have Liam II as a young adult, and at least close to the right age for what he was represented to be.

My thought on Liam is that the Nautilus is a magical submarine, capable of jumping realms, and that it spent some time in a different realm where time flowed differently. That is the only explanation I can find for Liam's apparant age. The Nautilus being a realm jumper also explains how it was able to show up. Hyde brought Nemo in the Dirigible, but Liam ascertained where Hyde went and followed in the Nautilus.

Now, the story with Killian and Henry was decent. They have needed to have something to actually build their relationship, and this was not bad as attempts go. Henry was initially suspicious of Killian, but Killian opening up about what happened with his Father and younger half-brother, and how he felt bad about what he had done, did a lot towards building a real trust between Killian and Henry. Of course, Henry is going to have to take some time and watch Star Wars with Killian so that he'll know what a Wookie is.

I also liked the subtle dig at the Game manufacturers regarding the fact that game controllers are not designed for people with disabilities. That is a real problem that game manufacturers need to address.

The Agrabah storyline is intgriguing, because I think it is going somewhere, just not sure where yet.

Belle and Snow talking Babies. Can I just say YAY! they are finally getting some real interaction between Belle and the other regulars, and Snow and Belle connecting on babies makes sense both on and off screen (I can imagine that Ginny and Emilie have conversations about raising babies while working).

Now, as for the EQ and Rumple making out. I'm still trying to bleach that image out of my brain. that was just wrong on so many levels. I just hope Rumple is able to stay at least strong enough to not fall into her trap. though, I will give kudos to the way the scene was filmed and edited with Belle slipping the sonogram picture under the door, building the intensity with the perceived chance that Belle would witness that vulgar display (which thankfully did not occur. regardless of how you feel about RumpBelle, she does not need to be exposed to that).
