Save Henry

[ein_papier]

Hey! As I'm caught up with OUAT for the first time in ages (and as that will only last a few more hours) – anyone want to talk about it? I made a post about 3x09 on my own journal, but I just mean that as a possible starting point, I'm happy to discuss something else (or to read anyone else's reaction posts).

Personally
I'm very happy they're returning to Storybrooke: I didn't like Neverland very much. I thought Regina was fantastic in it, I loved the story of Henry's arrival (though I'm wondering: is that it? Just fate that he got there, no outside meddling?).

Also: are we sure Rumple wasn't going to murder Henry? It didn't look very good at the end of Nasty Habits, and it's not like he got the chance since.

I am also glad to leave Neverland because it was getting tedious. I wish there could be less focus on Henry as his acting annoys me, and will even more now with the latest plot twist.
Agreed that Regina is fantastic; she's my favorite thing about the show.
I agree also that Rumple's motivations may not be as benign as they seem.
Don't know how I feel about the endless emphasis on the Power of Motherhood. I suppose it's true to fairytale properties, but it's kind of boring as a plot device/motivation over and over.

Yeah; I like Henry, but he isn't really cut out for carrying a storyline of his own, imo; I used to joke that he's a walking plot device, but I was pretty okay with that. I did like his scene as Peter Pan though, so who knows.

I've been so grateful for Regina for this whole season; maybe it's because while everyone is dealing with their abandonment issues, she was just as annoyed with the whole concept of the island as I felt. xD

Right? About Rumple. He and Neal seem beautifully/depressingly at cross-purpose all the time.

Hm you have a point, about motherhood. Though I'm going to be happy about anything that makes Pan less smug, and he's good issues with mothers.
