I will also be watching again as always but I liked it. First impressions, definitely some pilot vibes but not enough to make it a repeat imo. I enjoyed the acting I thought that Gabrielle and Dania in particular were great for the newbies. I do think Andrew was believable as Adult Henry so the transition wasn't as hard for me as I initially thought. Rumple and Alice cant wait to see what their dynamic is, I have no guesses so far. Roni is Awesome! So BA and I love it, you can tell she is still Regina though which makes her even better. Hook, Tiana and Drizella kinda back ground in this one for me so I'll reserve my judgment for future episodes. A lot of whiners, ahem, people were saying this isnt going to be the same Once but I watched Final Battle before watching this and it sure seemed like the same Once to me! Overall I think A&E decision to start a new "book" turned out looking like a winner, but I guess only time will tell.
