I think this was one of the best episodes this show ever had.

What I liked

Emma and "rumple"-I thought it was nice and both the actors did a good job.

Zelena- for the first time ever I actually felt for her and wanted her to win.

Meridia-I like the character and the fact that the writers actually changed the story. I was scarred she would be a frozen repeat.

Dark swan-  I really like the way they took her. I had mixed feelings about dark swan but I really like the character.

Merlin/Young Emma- I wasn't expecting to see Merlin this early and got a good laugh at him really expecting Emma to remember his prophecy from such a young age. Besides that Merlin is extremely attractive

My dislikes

Hook- I didn't like the fact that the episode focused on how hook felt and what he was willing to do to get Emma back but we barely see anything from her mother, father, and child. I get that their relationship is important to people but Hook shouldn't be the person the show focuses on when it comes to grieving about Emma.

Regina magic power- I love Regina but I can't take her serious as a witch. I thought that this season they would step her up magically. There were rumors that she would be the new "saviour" but they ruined that when Zelena flat out said she wasn't powerful enough to even open a portal to begin saving Emma. I had higher expectations for her.

The memory loss thing- I don't mind the time jumping and the flashbacks but I'm tired of the same devices. The magic barrier and memory loss is getting old.

Things that didn't make sense to me

Zelena wasn't green in the enchanted forest.

I thought the apprentice died on the season finale.

Why was Lily absent? I thought we were going to find her dad.

Where is the good part that allowed Zelena to create the portal? Didn't the wand requires to half of the coin to work?

I felt the same way as everyone else about Hook's potion and Zelena's heart but I going to assume Hook saved some of the potion and Zelena was being sarcastic when she said eons.
