I would imagine Erin and Ace give big thanks to all that donated. Play views from the deck intro Views from the deck: Neal “Use your magic to separate me from my father.” Emma “Are you kidding? You’ll die” Luke and Vader in Return of the Jedi Lumiere’s fire bindings like they used in Attack of the Clones Discuss Neal’s death Play Social Media Squawks Intro Social Media Squawks: Facebook page Genevieve Did anyone notice that Neal thanked Hook for bringing Emma back? Do you think he sent the potion? Aubrey If Snow’s Baby is the “heart”, it should be protected, like Emma’s Emma has magic because she is the product of true love. Her heart couldn’t be ripped out by Cora in season 2 because of this. I wonder if the baby will also have magic like Emma. If this is the case and if Zelena tries to take the baby’s heart, it wouldn’t work. I don’t think she wants Henry because even though he has the heart of the truest believer, Regina put that spell on him, so that his heart could never be taken. Aubrey Am I the only one who thought of Home Alone when Neal had the insignia burned on to his hand? Daniel ‘Course that scene HAD to happen five minutes before putting my own son to bed!! THANKS OUAT!! Like the king from Tolkien’s “Two Towers” (Riders of Rohan), “No parent should have to bury/outlive their own child.” Seriously though, one of the best scenes in the whole series! Knocked it out of the park! Blog Comments Maii Something incredibly important I forgot to mention was Rumple chose his son over magic. We saw the exact same situation that we saw back in season 1 Desperate Souls..This time around, we see character growth. He makes the right choice. He proves that he learned from his mistake the first time, and he chooses his son. This is huge. The entire reason the curse was ever enacted was because Rumple made the wrong choice the first time around. Rumple’s entire story has been about this moment – about proving to his son that he has learned from his mistakes. He has changed. Rumple knows now that his son trumps power, and this gave him the chance to truly prove that. He may have said it before now, but actions will always speak louder than words. Any doubts that we may have had about Rumple’s character growth were erased by this act. (from here, read it it’s really good and explains why neal’s death work’s so well with the plot) Play Email Intro Email points: Dan Great show, as always!  Here we go: (1) Nice CGI of Lumiere, but AGAIN w/the “allow me to introduce myself”!?!  What is it with OUAT and “The Stones”?? (2)  Zelena, touching the tummy again!?!  Okay, NOW she’s just creepy! (3) Re-introduction of Regina and Robin “sitting in a tree!”, a re-deux of “that pesky year”. (4)  Hook w/jello?   ALWAYS room for jello. . . . but wait, GREEN jello?  Bae’s “kryptonite”??  🙁 (5)  Bae and Belle “forest scene”, reminds me of the scene from Disney’s Lion, WITCH, and Wardrobe, where Lucy meets Mr. Tumnus at the Lamp post. (6) Bae/Neal, getting hand burnt like Joe Pesci on the doorknob in Home Alone!!
