Episode Likes:

-Continuity with the Protection Spell on the Charming + Snow in flashback

-Every (main) Character was featured to the extent where everyone in this episode was there almost equally (sans Regina)

-They actually showed the world crossing (quite rare taking Ruby Slippers and Sisters into account)

-THE CHARMING STORY, ABOUT HIS FATHER!!!!!!!!!! (Most importantly it's independant of Snow)

-Return of the Royal Castle

-Yay for Hook apologising to Belle

Dislikes:

-Although the continuity was okay in this episode, it wasn't amazing. I'm pretty sure The Cricket Game immediately preceded Pilot.

-Too many Protection Spells

-WHY IS THERE A CONVINIENT DOOR TO THE LoUS?? THIS BETTER BE EXPLAINED/EXPANDED UPON

-Although yes Granny, Grumpy and Archie were in the episode, and the mains were all featured, I really think the recurring cast needs more to do.

Notes/ Questions:

-Can the Evil Queen really reveal anything about Charming's past, I mean wouldn't Regina have told him everything she knew if she did know anything?

-Although these first episodes aren't very interesting (rather like S1), if the next ones are done well, all the foreshadowing in these eps will make them great. Although the beginnings of S3A, S3B, S4B, S5A, S5B were very interesting, everything foreshadowed in early eps never came to pass, making the closing episodes of the season frustrating and boring.
