Thinking it over this week, I'll say that I liked it for the most part. I don't particularly like Merida, but I guess that's reasonable.My only issue I've decided was pacing. We've seen fast and slow paced drama and thsi would have benefited from slower pace drama.

Merida encountering all sorts of contrivances was pushing the boundaries of my suspension od difbelief, but it would have been better if it wasn't all in a single moment. Pretty much where her brothers were, what was happening, how much time she had to get there and the way to save them, and the witch being gone for so long all at the same time was realy pushing it.

I'd been okay with her seeing the place, saying it was over the hills and then seeing smoke and telling Belle that means that an execution is drawing near.

Now, I liked everything else in the episode. I mean, I didn't like reboot Rumple being so reboot-like, but that's not tbis episodes fault.

A decent filler bridging from climatic to climatic episode.
