Looking forward to the mid-season finale tonight

Me too, and to seeing Rumple

Thanks for the thread, btw.

and no problem

In the enchanted forest, I felt that Rumple created a family with Alice/Robyn (and maybe Rogers too), especially that last shot when Rumple/Alice/Robyn were huddled together
when the curse was going on.

Right mid season finale, you were good, but the pacing was a bit all over the shop and questions.....right

Rumple:
- Rumple in HH looking out for Lucy, doing what he can to save his great grand-daughter
- Rumple I get the feeling that Anastasia is not the guardian
- Imp Rumple in EF2 , I was not expecting that at all!, how did he get that way considering he was his normal self when he arrived!
- Rumple helped Alice in some way in EF2 and she hasn’t forgotten it , maybe that is the reason why he has changed
- Ahh Hook and Rumple scene in EF2 and Rumple helping him...
- Aww lovely scene with Rumple protecting Alice and Robyn in EF2
- Good scene in HH with Rogers and Tily, I want this team up

Other stuff:
- So Druzilla was in stone for 8 years, explains her non aging, doesn’t explain the rest though.
- Zelena and Robyn are in EF2 as well, how did they get there and how long?
- So Gothel is basically the Dark One of EF2 and she has brought her witches!
- So Regina can Zelana with a potion, but didn’t test it on Rumple and why doesn’t Rumple change Tily’s drugs to wake her up. Inconsistencies there..
- Aww Henry at Lucy bed side saying he wish she was his daughter and then his kiss, but didn’t wake her up...
- Good scenes with Hook and Alice
- Anastasia has some wallop with magic!
- I knew Gothel would do the dirty on Druzella
- Henry dying in EF2 and the only way to keep him alive is the curse and I had a feeling Regina was the one to cast it...
- So now the witches are in HH, team Rumple to the rescue

So did enjoy all the family scenes, but this should have been a 2 parter because the pacing was rushed and a couple of things left me a tad confused.. That being said it sets it up well for the 2nd half of the season which I am looking forward to

Baelfire24 - completely agree

Great episode! My thoughts in no particular order:

So why is Rumple impRumple again?

Love that Robyn (Robin?) is an archer like her dad, good reference there.

Loved the comment about the timeline, I get the impression timelines really make no sense anymore!

Would have liked to have seen more of Robyn and Alice.

So Hook gave up his daughter for Lucy!

Regina cast the curse? I do think this means she has more control over it than Ivy realises.

Nice tie-in with the end of season 6.

Loving the sisters Zelena and Regina! Love that Regina woke her up, although it seemed a little too easy.

So Regina's blood is all that's needed to cast a curse now? Seems a bit of a cop-out.

Love the Rogers/Tilly team-up.

I so knew Ivy would be betrayed and have to realise her errors! Now she'll have to work with her mother to get out of that hole!

Poor Anastastia! Just seems to be everybody's pawn.

TLK didn't work on Lucy!

In conclusion I was surprised that the timeline showed us the curse-casting so soon. I was spoiled on Alice/Robyn but I liked it anyway. At this rate everyone will be awake before the curse is broken... Exciting fun episode, though. I really enjoyed it, and look forward to the return in the spring.

I did like the tie-ins to the S6 finale and was a bit when TLK didn't work for Henry and Lucy, he is he going to wake her up now..

Yes regarding ImpRumple, that's the main question I want answered when the show returns...

Robyn and Alice were lovely and more of them in 7B please...

Damn we have to wait that long though for answers

I like the change. In the past, without Belle, Bae, and Gideon, Rumple isolated himself. Now he is fighting for his family and opening himself up to a new one with Alice, Hook, and Robyn. This Rumple is stronger and has overcome his past and it is nice to see.

Grace and wonderful to see
