hey, let's make out without even a "Is that really you?", "Where have you been all this time?", "Why didn't you show up that morning?", "Where have you been since the Curse broke?" (since Eric didn't know she was a mermaid and thus in another realm), "I thought you didn't love me back, I'm glad I was wrong", "Bitch, you've made me miserable all this time, but I'm so glad you're here at last I forgive you". I take it it's true love (or infatuation, as Killian says), surely they'll be discussing the matter off screen and the episode was quite packed up with happenings in a very short time, but a bit more depth wouldn't have harmed anyone... :/

Does OUaT really need more pointless relationship drama? We get plenty of it, already.... courtesy of Mary Margaret/David and the Hook/Emma/Neal triangle.

Ariel and Eric were seperated for decades, why would either of them want to ruin the moment? Eric's reaction, to just kiss Ariel, was perfectly in-character. It is similar to his line, in the Disney film ~ ''Grim, I lost her once. I'm not gonna loose her, again.''

PS: Eric probably does know that Ariel is a mermaid. Everyone in Storybrooke is well aware that to the LWM, they are fairytale characters.
