Since my habdashery of defending against minute things is over (XD Don't know why I try)....

I like the episode. The flashbacks were hiarious and a new thing besides the age old Snow fighting the Evil Queen. If I had to choose between that and this, this succeeds as they try to squeeze in so much in the other part of the timeline. The present was more enjoyable but...

1. Anyone, whether they are super-fan or casual cynic, should see that they have really ran out of storylines and they essentially mash things together. What I speak of is, Tiger Lily sounds exactly like Tinkerbell in season 3. Just look again and their story of having the chance to save a troubled soul from going down a dark path and losing their wings and living in Neverland and knocking people out and pixie dust galore and Hook's talk mirroring Regina's with Tink....

2. The macguffins were off the wall. Tree sap that rips shadows. The Short Chekov's gun wand. The new Pixie flowers that are different from the pixie dust tree. Now the pixie flower can easily be digested as if Regina only summons one flower, then it could easily be understood why the flower never came up before. If the pixie flower is in relation to amount of Darkness and dark magic and Regina summons one every now and then....noone else would do much else.

3. Emma's nun shirt was hilariously out of place and I'm sure that's why the lost boys were confused at Emma apearing. It was like she ran a mile and was disoriented, lol.

Otherwise, pretty solid filler. But each episode is sort of ending the stories of characters, so I'm fine with that.
