Warehouse 13? (Helena Wells...?) That's where I know her from.

couldn't they at least have put something in that goblet? being empty was SO stupid looking!

I may be in the minority, but I LOVED this. The only quibble for me was that Atwell sometimes spoke too fast with the American accent and I couldn't make out all the words clearly. But that was easy to forgive.

I hope things improve. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the pilot!

So how long are we going to have to suffer through them battling the Evil Queen before someone remembers the moral of Jekyll and Hyde... that we are all BOTH good and evil. Duh...

Yes, it has had both of their names on it since Zelena showed Hook he was the Dark One too.

I think she means like when he sped up the Middlemist seeds.

What wrist is Emma's tattoo on? For some reason, I had a wish that the mark on everyone's wrist is the same as Emma's tattoo.

LOL about scaring the kids. THere is a house down the street that only my oldest will approach for teh same reason. The younger boys stand on the street and hold hands hoping she comes back alive. It is hysterical.

Hmmm... very confusing. I love it! Last year it felt like we had already seen the entire show before it even aired because the spoilers were so obvious. I honestly have no idea what the outcome of this arc is going to be. I don't even mind if Emma can't be "cured"- I suspect she won't be the same after(if) they remove the darkness. Kind of like how all of the characters have bipolar personalities- their fairytale selves and their cursed versions, and the are all "both" now.

Plus, the weird change of Hook's clothes... it just doesn't add up.

I think the fight with Gold is actually Emma and not Killian. But that is based on absolutely nothing but wishful thinking.

David IS his name. James was his twin's name.

In that sneak peek, did Regina use the dagger to keep Emma quiet? Why else was her hand on the hilt? You can't use the dagger telepathically, can you? I was confused.

I don't think the room quote is about Regina. I'm not sure why, but my gut says they are talking about someone else. I guess they've been talking about Regina being a hero for so long, this seems different. I'm leaning towards Hook.

I didn't get to read the article, and I want to be spoiled. Fill me in, please. What is the twist? Is it that no one remembers Camelot?

I think that she doesn't know she can use magic outside Storybrooke, but the lightening and exploding lightbulbs would indicate that she can...

I don't get it. How did killing Cruella make Emma evil?

Or a cruel joke on those of us who spoiler stalk...

I think the secret is that Emma has an older sibling, you know, because Zelena wasn't far enough out of left field.

wait- spoilers indicate they are going to hunt down august since he came to town with the typewriter. Isn't he about ten years old now, give or take a year or two? and, oh goodie, a curveball for regina. because she needs more things to whine about...

It's kind of like the weird love triangle thing in the movie Pearl Harbor. Except the exact opposite. Which I would type out here, except I don't know if I should make it a spoiler and I don't know how... The point is, when people come back from the dead, "right" and "wrong" become seriously messy.

Yeah, Robin may have said he was going back to his wife, but (I'm going to have to rewatch those scenes after Easter (given up TV for Lent)) if I recall, he was super unsure about it. The whole time he just didn't know what the right thing to do was. And I don't blame him at all. So technically, he made vows to Marian, so he feels honor bound to abide by them. While at the same time, he has completely moved on and fallen in love with someone else. It's hard to understand in our culture, where divorce would be the obvious answer. But he doesn't feel like that would be right by Marian, whom he does still love, in the way you'd love a memory. His problem is that he legitimately loves two women. He wants to be with Regina, but doesn't know what to do about Marian. He wants to do the right thing, which he believes is staying with Marian. My question is this- is that the right thing? Do his wedding vows still mean anything? (I'm completely ignoring the part about Regina's crimes against Marian and everyone else under the sun in this philosophical discussion- I'm just trying to decide how wrong his tryst with Regina was- which, again, not focusing on where that happened, because, GROSS.) Marian seemed to believe that the right thing was for Robin to choose Regina, based on the how much he appeared to love her. Right? I couldn't quite figure out where she was coming from, and then they swept that under the rug when she got sick again. I guess what I'm saying is if you ignore Regina's crimes and Marian's illness- who would be the "right" choice, from an ethical standpoint. And I would say Regina. Because his vows ceased to hold water when Marian died. But, as you pointed out, he did say he would hold himself to those vows. Did he? Or did he say he would try? I'm not sure... I don't remember. So that is when things get a little muddy. I guess his little speech to Regina in the crypt basically said "I know this is wrong, but I don't care" so in that sense, because he believed himself to be obligated to fulfill his old vows to Marian, it could be called adultery. But I wouldn't personally call it that. I think he's just confused, as would anyone who's dead wife came back from the past. That said, I think having sex with anyone in a crypt of any kind is so many levels of disturbing I just can't... And... I don't forgive Regina for her many past crimes. I seriously get so upset at the showrunners for trying to make us pretend like it didn't happen. So confusing...

Maybe it's just me, but I am hesitant to call Regina and Robin "adultery". I know, in the strictest sense of the word, it is. BUT, she was DEAD! If my husband died, and I mourned his death for years, but I met another guy, and against all odds I found myself falling in love (because even Robin admitted that he thought he'd never love again after Marian) and I decided to move on from my dead husband, would that be wrong? Who watches The Mentalist? It would be like calling Jane and Lisbon adultery. Okay, so we are all agreed that it is okay if she is dead, it isn't adultery. So by a twist of magic that wasn't even supposed to be possible, she is suddenly NOT dead. After everyone has mourned her death and moved on. It'd be like my dead husband or Jane's dead wife suddenly appearing. So what, we turn off our love because something impossible happened? It's not that simple folks... Love isn't adultery if you aren't married. And you aren't married when your spouse DIES. And I'm one of those Bible believing conservatives who believes in "til death do us part" and no divorce and all that. But I'm pretty sure my Bible doesn't explain what to do if someone is brought back from the past... So I am not convinced that Robin and Regina is adultery. Sucks to be Marian, because in HER mind it is, but she just took a 30+ year time jump. She's a little confused. And she's supposed to be dead.

And as for long hair down versus in a ponytail, it's actually easier for a perp to grab a ponytail. Realistically, the cops I know with long hair braid it and tuck the braid into their collar when going into something that could get dicey. As for Stana's hair, wasn't the long hair last year fake? And this year it's her real hair, no more extensions? Or did I make that up?
