Anyone else giggling over the cursed hand thanks to that Treehouse of Horror episode? Another giggle - Snow Queen leaving a trail of ice like a slug. I loved all the Charming family stuff. Did we miss a scene where Emma explained to Elsa why her parents are her age? So, I've been thinking who would be a good actor for The Sorcerer by thinking through Disney owned stuff. James Earl Jones or Anthony Hopkins would be nice if they want to slum it on TV.

I have hated Laurel from day 1 so a lot of this episode felt like nails on chalkboard. Can there be a quick abbreviation for Laurel hate that each post can begin with to get it out of the way? Because seriously the hate needs no explanation. Ooh, INAL means "I'm not a lawyer" Lawyer=Laurel... The thing that really killed me was Oliver calling Thea needing to talk to her. It felt so real, sad, and needed. They just lost their mom and Oliver was seeing Laurel deal with a dead sister. If a friend's mom died, I would be calling my mom for days.

This season has felt off to me (I blame Katrina). I felt like this episode could have occurred in season 1 so, the show is back on track yay! I think just having Abbie and Ichabod for the majority helped cancel out the rest of the noise this season. As a pathological Ichabbie shipper, I liked the old married vibe between them. Abbie breaking the flute made me think of the kind of relief when a spouse handles a pushy salesperson. Also, my final silliness, Abbie's driving reaction sounds - just close your eyes and tell me what they sound like.

Something that occurred to me - Phil and Jan never had a chance to grow that old. Yup, send your tissues receipt to me.

I really, really liked this! Barry's scene with his father got me in the feels then I realized I just met these characters! I think the clunkiest scene was the confrontation in the lab. It felt like Barry came in at anger level 8 and no one really lobbed that level of intensity back. Also, when Mulaney gets cancelled, could Barry have a long lost older brother?

Loved this episode! From more Charming/Emma interaction to even David's fairy back hair. Sorry, Josh looked HAWT! I like Anna as well but I might be biased because hearing my name said correctly on TV and in the movie has made me so happy, I can't fully assess the character :-) I'm pretty sure Gold knows something considering the look he gave when he heard about Elsa. So is Snow Queen her real mom? Or will they go the Petunia/Lily route? Elsa's mom was the muggle whose sister had powers.

That is very blame the victim thinking. The fact that the teacher is aware and reported the select examples she knew about, tells me that more heinous harassment had probably happened earlier. Teachers are always the last to know. Sydney's victim should not have to leave the school. Sydney should.

I know this is a TV show and I'm not a neurologist but here I go chiming in. In the real world, no brain injury is alike in effects from person to person. I do not have a complete right temporal, parietal, or frontal lobe. Immediately post-injury, I could not list the months in order but could remember obscure medication names. I could not talk like a Normal for two years. The idea was in my head but getting it to my mouth and then choosing the words was SO SLOW. I would get so frustrated, I would dissolve into tears. Brain damage does not mean dumb.

I actually didn't mind Daniel's attempt at Poe. Between the accents and mannerisms it was a definite acting choice so points for trying. I also enjoyed the period costumes. Plot? Dialogue? Just didn't register.

Yeah, weirdly uneven but Chris was obviously up for anything. The He-Man and Lion-o stuff slayed me. That Pete kid is going to blow up big. Does anyone else love watching who hugs who at the end?

Exactamundo! I was paralyzed on my left side until my brain rerouted. I'm wondering if headSimmons is kind of like a personification of recovery? For example, the words need come from someplace else but his brain has them. Another scary/cool brain injury thing is you are unaware of what you can't do. I had trouble pouring a glass of water initially but it looked fine until it spilled everywhere. Fitz could be a lab accident away from creating an 084 or curing himself. I bet he'll be healed by episode 5.

Shallow note - Chloe isn't doing the open fish mouth thing anymore but rocks beaver teeth when she shoots a gun. Pew! Pew! Pew!

As someone who had a TBI at 24, with a nice chunk of my temporal lobe gone Fitz made me tear up with familiarity. I did not hallucinate friends. There came a point after 3 months of rehab, where recovery only occurs in your regular life. I was a shuffling slurring mess who cried all the time but living life really helped me. My memory is better than injury state but not what it was. Just an FYI from a survivor...

I had the same quibble! Then I remembered Zac saying Kini's look was aspirational. So, that made me realize the assignment was not what I thought it was. It was not design an outfit that links creatively to an AG doll. It was make an outfit that can be sold to young girls. So richie rich dolls had a leg up (ironically, Sandaya had one). What girl wants to look like they are from a Russian shetl?

I got teary as well seeing Ingrid and Freya swinging in the tree. This is the first time Frederick has seen them die and I hope it completely traumatized him because he basically helped kill his sisters and father. Dash finding out about the reincarnation was hilarious especially when he said he was glad he didn't sleep with his grandmother. I'm glad Ingrid didn't tell Freya about sleeping with Dash. We didn't need that conflict in this episode. Ew, an idea hit me. - both sisters slept with warlock brothers on the same night so maybe there is some soul connection magic to resurrect them? The Peen Lure?

This was my favorite episode so far as long as don't think too much about the crossing timelines. Am I the only weirdo who has never had that nightmare? For a bit in the beginning it seemed like Moffat was going for a spookier version of His Dark Materials daemons. Besides the sooper specialness of Clara and the constant weight jokes, Moffat's writing was a bit better than usual. I guess the only way for a modern gal to find a husband is to time travel and have a young boy imprint on you like a duckling, huh? Beat that eHarmony!

How many viewings has everyone had? I've seen it twice non 3D. So obviously third viewing must be 3D. I bought the soundtrack like August 2. The major emotional moments have been discussed but I was really touched by the earlier scene where Quill was trying to get his Walkman back from a Kiln guard. Between the "it's mine" and listing Blue Swede stats, I just felt everything this guy has lost. It kinda resonated with me the way splitting up families at Concentration Camps are portrayed in movies. I also have to say that the way we are introduced to Rocket with a snarky VoiceOver, is pure perfection. Oh yeah, the fact that they have a burlap sack to stuff people into completes the wacky doodle vibe. It's too bad Vin is getting all the voice acting attention because Bradley brought it too. I nerded out and watched a bunch of cast interviews. They seem like such a great group of buddies now. When they team up with The Avengers, there is going to be a charisma supernova.

I bet the death next week is Frederick or a Wendy fakeout. Eddie McClintock will come back to save her.

Did anyone else get the vibe that John suddenly got sad in the middle of the space sex gecko song? (BTW that is my favorite typed sentence ever).

I really disliked this episode for many of the reasons previously mentioned; cheesy Sherwood, bad pacing, clunky lines, Clara Sue, and grumpy Doctor. One of my friends pointed out, as an English teacher, Clara picked out of all time and space not Dickinson or Austen just some legend she had a crush on. That's like me choosing Merlin over Marcus Aurelius. The hell?!?

I am in the middle of a rewatch where I basically skip to any scene where Emma has interactions with her parents. For a while, I had been lamenting the lack of Emma/Charming interactions but from this rewatch, I have a new perspective. To be frank, S1 David was a douche who really hurt and disappointed Mary Margaret and Emma saw that first hand. So, having that guy turn out to be your father might be tough. I know, it was the curse but come on Mary Margaret had a scarlet A branding by the town while David had no repercussions. My hope for S4 is some kind of bonding/mention that both Emma and Snow are mothers who have never cared for a baby. I really don't mean hoping for ridiculous Lucy and Ethel hijinks over diapers. Just maybe some melancholy or Emma asking for Henry's baby pictures.

I'm Jewish too and that one connection had me reconsidering the meh-ness of the pilot. It isn't a must-see show for me but I'll casually check in until it gets cancelled. Also, is it just me or these shows where they need to keep up a cover story always have scenes where a woman has to be told, "Oh, it's all in your head." Just once I'd like to see a teamster size man being told, "You imagined it." /rant off

I had a stroke 13 years ago and my sensory center for my left side was obliterated. I can feel impact (which took a lot of PT) but everything else is muted or wrong. I have cut and burned myself without knowing it. On the flip side, I can be holding a towel and feel horrible pain. Daily functioning is a combination of using sight and trusting muscle memory.

Dude, I got teary eyed when the Maine life turned out to be a fantasy. Don't get me started on the "Am I a good person?" scene.

Margot is on The Millers with Wil so that was probably an easy casting.
