Once Upon a Time: Manhattan Review!

     Oh my gosh! What an episode! Big revelations galore! Bae turned out to be who I guessed he was. Who else was thinking the same thing? Oh probably about all of us right? lol! Well, last review I was also thinking he could be Greg Mendell because you know how this show loves to twist us around. Cora with a new (and better) hairdo! She looks good in this world's style! Watch out Regina she's taking your place! NOT! No one can take Queenie's place can they? Our three Wheel of Fortune contestants play for the prize! A brand new (well actually really old) dagger! Who will win? My bets on Regina! :D Pre-Ogre wars Rumpy and why oh WHY did he have to do THAT do himself?!! "The seer made me do it!" Oh Rumpy! Oh, and a nose grabbing Bae-by! Hating the speculation that Bae may not be Rumpy's son (please don't let that be true!). Mendell says, "My cell phone gonna bring all the paps to the yard and magiic? Well, we have to charge!" We're one big dysfunctional family all in one small NYC apartment. Rumpy: "Let's get rid of the runt!" Wow! Let's dig in!

FAIRY TALE LAND PAST

                                               Awwwww. Look a the weedle Bae-by!

     We're back with Pre-Dark One Rumpy and his wife Milah. Wow, this is the nicest they've ever been to each other. Maybe just maybe Milah really did love Rumples once upon a time. Rumpy is going to fight in the ogre wars and he's sooo happy and so is Milah. That war is gonna be all roses and daisies and when he comes back they'll start their family. Don't you just want to smile forever? Well, Rumpy gets a wake up call when he arrives at the camp in his nice soldier uniform. He looks gooood! Okay, enough of that. Sarge wants Rumps to look after a big crate or something.warning to be wary of the beast inside. Oh we get it. You should have never dealt with this beast Rumpy! He finds out this beast is just a little girl with one wacked out stitch over her face. Man, she looks like she just left a Within Temptation video! She has eyes in her hands! That junk is way too much Illuminati for me! She claims she wants some water. Just give her the water and get out of there Rumpy! The little goth tells him Milah is already pregnant. My mom and yes I did too had a feeling that Rumpy wasn't the father right there for some reason. I soo hope that's not true but with this show you never know and with how Milah can be. Ugh.
     Anyway, Rumps knows he's going to be a father but the seer also tells him he will leave Bae fatherless. So Rumpy jumps to the conclusion that means he's going to die in battle. So later he intentionally breaks his own leg with a mallet so he won't have to go to war! Oh my! Why did it have to be like this? Well, if you look at it in a certain way you gotta have some guts to take a mallet to the leg even if it's of your own doing! He sure loves his boy! *twitches* Also  doesn't Rumpy as the Dark One use magic to heal his limp? He doesn't use magic when he's Mr. Gold to get rid of the limp. Maybe that's his way of trying to change. Sort of a reminder of what he's done. He thinks he did it for Bae. Oh well. Milah is shocked that he would go to such a length to get out of the war. Of course our Rumpy says a seer made him do it but Milah is already wanting to get away from him. She gives him the Bae-by and we have one of the most adorable moments in the whole series. Little Bae-by grabbing his father's nose! Who else said awwww? Later a Dark One Rumpy faces the seer girl again who has grown up now. He takes her power because he thinks it will help in his search for Bae and the seer tells him the "young boy will be your undoing." Of course back then Rumpy simply says he'll have to kill him. To quote an old tv show called Magnum P.I. I know what you're thinking. This has GOT to be Henry right? Well, what if Bae does go back to Storybrooke with them? What will happen when he crosses the borderline? We don't know that yet. Will he simply forget who he is or will magic turn him back into little Bae like Rumps wanted to do to him? If the latter happens then there will be two young boys right? I love this show. It gives you answers while posing more questions! :D

STORYBROOKE

    We finally have all three of our villains together on the screen and boy do they look goood! Cora is looking more like her daughter now with the fancy power suit and pretty hair. What's up with his girl?! Me thinks she wants to be her daughter. Maybe this is where all that vanity stuff comes in from the original Snow While tale. Cora wants to be the fairest of them all! Watch out Regina! Speaking of Regina she sure is playing the good or should that be bad little daughter to a "t". Almost too good to be true to me. She only cares about Henry though so wherever the tables turn when it involves Henry is where she'll go eventually in my opinion.

 Then there's Hook with his little I want revenge on Rumpy pouting. I don't blame Cora knocking him out after him stating the oh so obvious point that what Regina and Cora find in Belle's library is a map to the dagger. You need to have another reason to be here Hook! Oh and Greg Mendell please stop trying to make this town into a new article for your Freaky Links website (actor Ethan Embry from the series Freaky Links plays Mendell. Cool show, you should look it up).

MANHATTAN

     Now for the best part of the whole episode! Gold takes his first step onto Manhattan soil to find his Bae! What most fans of this guy have been waiting much too long to see and it is finally here! Let's do a little dance, make a little love, and get down tonight! Later Emma is so lucky to guess the right buzzard button to an apartment is Bae because it only had an address number and not his name! Okay, it really could have been vacant like Rumpy said but not on this show! She's right of course because when she makes a dumb ploy to open the door he must have recognized her voice because he skips out. Emma is on his heels, tackles  him and...well beans and potatoes! It's Neal Casidy!!! Let's jump for joy! Well, a little jump. I still don't like the actor playing Bae. Kind of want Rumpy to change him back to a 14 year old .Sometimes this guy's voice is so gravelly that it's hard to understand what he's saying. Oh well. Gotta except it now. Emma is angry ant thinks he knew she was the chosen one back when they were together. Neal wants to talk somewhere more private. While Emma is singing It's a Small World After All with Neal, Rumps and Henry are doing the hot dog thing. Don't they make the cutest little grandfather and grandson ever?! Henry encourages Rumpy to be more optimistic about meeting Bae. Back in a bar with Emma and Neal/Bae their conversation isn't going as well. Neal tells her that August Booth told him to stay away from her. We get a flashback to please all the fans who were wondering what was in the box Booth showed Bae. It was the typewriter with the words "I know you're Baelfire" Everyone who guessed that pat yourselves on the back! Good job! Emma is still hurt, angry and a little selfish when she claims nothing good came out of their relationship! Of course it did! HENRY!

     Emma tells Rumps that she didn't catch up with his son. Even a talk with Snow couldn't change her mind.. Big mistake! Doesn't really matter because when the trio search Neal/Bae's apartment Emma lets the cat out of the bag by holding a dream catcher too long. Henry is told to go to the bathroom because there's gonna be a match in this room tonight! In this corner a former bails bondswoman and the chosen one Emma and in this corner a really peed off, non-magical, old, lame guy! Yeah, Emma's sooo afraid! No need to fear because this is interupted when Bae busts through the door to a shocked and hurt Rumpy's surprise! Bae couldn't let Rumpy hurt Emma because he knows what his father does to people who don't live up to their deals. Suddenly Henry's out of the bathroom asking mom what is going on and now we have a fairy tale Jerry Springer! Let's watch this train wreak! Ooo boy! Forget about everybody else. Now it's all about Henry finding out Daddy wasn't a hunky fireman but really a guy who sounds like he's smoked a whole barrel of cigarettes in one second. Oh hello Henry! Daddy didn't put out fires. He probably started some by carelessly tossing his millionth cig. Your father is the son of The Dark One and your mother reminds you of your stepmother! Oh Henry how could you say that! I think he was trying to dish out a little pain there as well! Rumpy has his three minute talk with Bae which basically ends with Bae going talk to hand because the ears ain't listening. Bae has a little tale with his new found son Henry out on the fire escape because those other two in the apartment suck now and we're the cool ones right Bae and Harry? Rumps looks at the two of them with the strangest expression on his face. Don't be thinking about doing away with your grandson Rumpy! If you want to go back to your magical mafia ways go home and stuff Mendell in a trunk!

U.S promo:

    Why do we have to wait AGAIN for two more weeks before the next Once? What is it this time? Oh, it's the Oscars. Ugh. If someone from Once was there it would make up for the wait a little I guess. I'd rather watch Once though. Those people always pick the dullest movies to award! I want to see some real quality action from a real movie star on a tv show (Robert Carlyle)! Hook better not kill him! Actually I think Henry will be doing the honors by the end of it all. Tootles!
