Once Upon A Time Episode Discussion: 5x08 "Birth" / 5x09 "The Bear King"



5x08: Birth / 5x09: The Bear King
November 15th, 2015 @ 8:00 p.m. Eastern


Description:
In the first hour – “Birth”– Tensions in Camelot come to a head when Merlin, now under
Arthur's control, delivers an ultimatum to Emma: hand over the Dark One dagger and the
Promethean spark or he will kill her entire family. Refusing to give in, Emma and our
heroes face off against Arthur, Merlin, and Zelena in an epic battle of magic and will. Just
when the end is in sight, Emma is forced to make a gut-wrenching choice that no one saw
coming. Back in Storybrooke, Zelena’s pregnancy mysteriously accelerates and Hook goes
to new and desperate lengths to get answers from the Dark Swan.

In the second hour – “The Bear King”– Zelena and Arthur journey to DunBroch on a mission
to retrieve an enchanted relic that will provide the advantage they need to vanquish Emma
and our heroes. Their path will cross with Merida’s, who is on a journey of her own to pay
a debt that her father, King Fergus, owed to the Witch when he died. Merida enlists the
help of two friends, Mulan and Ruby, but, in order to satisfy the Witch and save DunBroch,
she first must discover the identity of the knight who killed her father. In flashbacks, Merida
learns about bravery and honor as she trains for combat and rides alongside Fergus
into the infamous battle that claims his life.

I always watch the episodes twice, once with my husband without closed captioning, then again later with it so I can catch everything that was said (My hearing leaves a lot to be desired.). I have to admit, when I first watched the Merida episode, I was totally unimpressed. I was very discouraged that it had almost nothing to do with the main story. I didn't even plan on watching it the second time around. However, I decided to anyway, and, going into the episode knowing that it was basically a stand-alone episode, I actually enjoyed it a whole lot more. Honestly, the first time through, throughout the whole episode, I just kept thinking alright, already, when are we gonna get to the main story?? Without that expectation and resultant let-down, I actually found it be a very enjoyable story. Mind you, though, I still would have preferred for the episode to focus on our main cast.

linnki, tbh I always watch the eppy's twice over, but skipped these two..

I really like Merida but yeah with no cast it was let down by that..

and also you would think in the 1st eppy we would have more Rumple, because he was the dark one for 300 years, you would think they would go to him to get some plans/advice etc..

Hope we get some of this in the next eppy

Yeah, they are definitely ignoring what is probably their best asset in dealing with Emma, but they've got to drag the story out somehow, I guess. I think it's pretty much a given from that scene where he pulled Excalibur out of the stone that he's going to be the one to stop her. I loved his great reply when she said there were heroes all over the town and none could stop her and he said that it was because none of them were him.

I don't think i've ever watched them twice over. I usually watch all the series about 4-6 times a year so I don't really need to
