Well I was very excited for this episode and I finished a little disappointed. What I liked
 * The Rumple savior twist. I thought that was one of the best twists in the series. The Dark One born a savior with light magic. I gagged I love this so much. It adds even more depth to an already complex character!
 * Gina/Lena scenes. I loved the sisterly bonding, and thought it was rather refeeshing to see them getting along and looking out for one another. Gave me the warm fuzzies
 * Malcolm scenes. Especially the last one, it took me back to Going Home, when Pan/Malcolm is telling Rumple about him being placed in his arms 'this squirmming little larva' He did an awesome job even spitting out that name with such disgust. It really tied that all together for me.

What i didnt really like Side.......I dont know if Rumple being good is the best idea. I mean a nefarious Rumple makes the show better IMO
 * I too feel the flashbacks were rather rushed. Maybe one or two more backstories could fill in some of the gaps so I wont pass to much judgement.
 * Fiona just became a fairy and no one cared? Blue was livid at Tink for using fairy dust but a human turns into a fairy and everything is all good. I needed to see some consequences here!
 * The Charmings, sigh. So were not even going to check the heart or maybe ask some follow up questions of Rumple. Where is thw wand now? Was there a scuffle? Something. While i realize it was for plot reasons I dont like that the writes made them all sp accepting. Come Emma after we just had to resuce Hook becuase of Rumple's "half truths", really. I digress
 * Rumple and BF last scene. I really do hope this is all a rouse and Rumple is Team Hero cuz im real tired of the emotional rollercoaster I feel im on with him. Once and for all, is he evil or not. When he was with Belle and Gideon the way he was saying to them that all he does is to protect them makes me feel like it is but I guess we'll find out within the next two weeks.

I hope we get more backstory on BF and they dont just leave it as it is because I think I have more questions. Why enact this curse if all she wanted was to be with her son, which she now is? I'm hoping thats answered, I may change my opinion if so.
