Awesome episode! I'm loving the EQ returning and I'm so glad this season is using more Rumple than 5B did. I hate Gold but love Rumple...

Just a few thoughts I had when watching:

-I still don't get what the deal is with splitting your good side and bad side. I didn't really agree with the premise behind it before even though it should be fun and interesting. But if Regina's Good Side is still able to become Dark, then is it even her good side? Does this also mean EQ can still be good? In which case, did the serum only serve to clone Regina rather than truly splitting her light and dark up? Also I'm still waiting to see if the EQ mentions Daniel, and therefore if there is still some good in her. Because without loving Daniel she has no real reason to hate Snow. Also does the EQ love Henry? I'm hoping for a dialogue scene just the two of them to see how Henry interacts with his mother/not-mother.

-As much as I love badass Evil Queen moments complete with theme music, I feel like there were perhaps one too many of these in one episode, one too many poofs of smoke too. Having said that, I LOVED the "tear yourselves apart" bit - that was cool.

-Did the scene with the wine remind anyone else of the Emperor's New Groove?

-Why is the EQ hitting on Gold? Honey you can do SO much better than that oily little man.

-I do like how much the show is expanding its story base. I'd never heard the story of the Count of Monte Cristo - and Untold story indeed at least for me. But I still can't wait for Aladdin and Jafar to emerge, but I like how they put that right at the beginning of last week's just to leave hanging for a bit.

-Once again Snow and David were liabilities. They know someone wants to kill them and don't even arm themselves. And get knocked out without being hit on the head. And stay passed out til half a second after Regina kills the Count. Just let them die.

-Don't worry Regina, killing someone with a sword doesn't make you Dark. David's done it plenty of times and no one cared. Oh no wait, this person was relevant to the story so yeah it's bad.
