I liked that they finally tied in an explanation about Emma's name.

I did like the idea that it was a metaphor for the fact that the writers and characters seem to ignore her unless she is needed for plot reasons.

Another thing that confused me was that the wardrobe took Geppeto months to construct and complete and it seemed to take Pinnochio mere hours. Unless there was an unseen time jump, then that is a bit weird. I know right! That was a great way to explain her last name.

It was a perfect metaphor and a big kick at her character. I pray she gets more of a role because of Gideon.

I noticed that too. There has to have been a time jump. One reason why I think so is how WR Robin was so willing to go with Emma and Regina and how enamored he is with Regina. I thought him questioning what happened to Regina's Robin was odd. Why would you want to know about an alternative version of yourself? It seems he got choked up on his fate too which I thought was weird.

Honestly I thought bringing Robin back this way is cheap. Of course they can't keep him dead. Even though Emma has HUGE parts in each season I'm definitely sold that ONCE's main character is Regina. They seem to focus on her a lot more than others. She has had the biggest character development and transformation than anyone.
