"Breadcrumbs" - Negative Thoughts

All the 7B episodes have been ok so far (except perhaps 7x12), but this one.............. I don't know. It just feel off

In the flashbacks, Henry is acting like a lunatic and he is trying to kill a dragon to be worthy of Cinderella? Are you for real? What kind of mindset is that? I would understand it if Henry was a EF character, but he was born in our world. He lived a year in NY. And he thinks he has to slay a dragon to be worthy of a woman? Are you serious? Who came up with this? How come season 1 Henry was more mature than adult Henry? At the end, Henry had epiphany and realized you don't have to slay a dragon or steal a cursed ring to make a woman love you. What a surprise......

I think this flashback was a waste of time because it was pretty obvious where this was going. It just felt nonsensical.

Also, the placement of the episode was terrible because 7x15 and 7x17 storylines are about the coven and the Candy Killer. We are reaching the climax of the Candy Killer arc and 7x16 flashback had nothing to do with it

I thought that at least Gothel would appear in the ship and take the ring, since she seems to be collecting magical items like the amulet and the hook. But nope. Not even that.

The flashback could have been about Jack and Henry in an adventure in the EF2 and maybe even fighting one of the coven witches because Henry wanted to be worthy of Cinderella.

About the present day storyline, there nothing much to say. It was (a lot) more interesting than the flashback and I think it was fine.

Henry and Nick/Jack...not Nick and Jack.

Anyway, I don’t really get the minis here. Henry has had a hero complex forever and a day. Now, if you find that odd and possibly troubling, then I’d agree. But it was there since season 2. After all, Henry listened to an Obviously evil person over his parents.

I’d take Henry development over forced parallelism, so I call it a mixed bag. Either on the nose parallels but more interesting story with Henry and Nick or a less paralleled but meh story with Nook. I think they also did this because He yes losing his only non-relative friend and they have to replace Nick with Hook or Henry is a sad, sad guy.

Agree, the flashbacks were horrible/a complete waste of time but the present-day scenes were somewhat good.

Super confusing - who is who? Henry is a character somewhere or he is an adult writer needing to wake up or he is THE WRITER or whatever??? This show is a mess, has messed itself, and is leaving a mess everywhere.

Henry is Henry from seasons 1-6. The flashback was him in the NEF. The present day story was him cursed. This isn't new.

Yeah, the FB could have been either fighting a coven witch or at least had Jack (Hansel) go with Henry and WHook on the ship, so he was in more of the episode. But overall, the episode was still good.

After 7x20, my opinion about this episode is even worse.

How come Henry was more mature when he was a teenager?

And now as an adult he wants to slays dragons to prove himself. The heck?
