Once Upon a Time: And Straight On 'Till Morning Review Part 1

ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN FACEBOOK:


Once Upon a Time: And Straight On 'Till Morning Review Part 1 (Part 2 later):

Well, we are here at the finale! Regina shines...sorta literally, Emma shows she really IS The Princess of Power, more pain and confusion for Rumps, Belle is back but not with Rumps for long, Henry is important again, and why did Rumbelle become slightly annoying there for a moment? Oh, and everyone's favorite kid FINALLY gets his dream come true and goes down the hole! So, let's kick this pirate ship into overdrive, hug an emo Hook, and wave goodbye to Belle (and the show until next season)! In the seeming words of Rumples,"So long sweet cakes! NOW, Henry is mine! Muwahahaha!"

The episode begins with Emo Hook looking at a pic of his lost love Milah. Smee has some pretty cheesy lines about how Hook WILL have his revenge. Sometimes I just want to grab that red toboggan off of his head and throw it into the sea! The conversation quickly goes to the wet, little boy they just rescued. Doesn't take Smee long to get to the boy being The Dark One's kid. Well, I guess Smee's smarter than we take him for. Hmmm. When Hook finally gets the name out of the boy he gives Smee a look. Oh, now this is interesting! Will he use the boy to get to The Dark One or will he end up loving the boy because he's his lost love's son? Oh what a complicating life we weave, writers! FINALLY, Hook may have more substance than just "I want to kill The Dark One!" Oh, and have I mentioned how much I love little Bae in this one yet?
 
 Yo ho, Yo ho! A pirate's life for Bae! Show comes on and seems like nothing much in the background. Could that be Neverland? Hmmm.

Oh, little Henry is rope swinging near some jagged rocks (who built this playground) while Granny sits nearby and another emo watches! Rumps tries to kill Henry by making the rope slowly break so he'll land on some rocks! Oh, come on old man! Forget this "he will be your undoing" crap and go play with your grandson! Well, I guess this is as close as The Dark One ever gets to playing with his family. Dysfunctional indeed! Ugh! Yay! Charming to the rescue once again! Least Henry has one decent grandfather! Bad news for Henry and Rumps! Emma talks to Henry and Charming and Snow to Rumpy. Poor Rumps, just gained his son only to lose him again through another portal. I was expecting to see Rumpy go all medieval on Tomorrow. Wouldn't it be awesome to see Rumpy change into The Dark One and kick some...well you know! Hey, speaking of old Dark One when and if Rumpy ever goes through a portal will he turn back into The Dark One? Especially if he ever returns to Fairytale Land? That would be quite awesome! Anyway, Rumpy instead blames himself and its a heartbreaking moment handled quite nicely by Robert Carlyle. Of course he gives up though and doesn't care about the trigger diamond that Tomorrow and Greg have might kill everyone. Bae's dead and who cares anymore! Should we have expected more from him? Ugh.

In the diamond mines, the Bores and Hooky Babe are looking for a pick axe to activate the diamond. Hook finally sees that these two are blindly following some kook and want to kill everybody. Yeah, Hook these people are more Loony Tunes than you are. Time to switch those beautiful loyalties of yours again and motives this time! Hmmm.

Looks like Regina has recovered quite quickly from that shock therapy of last episode. Guess this is thanks to Blue Fairy. Now back to her stylish, evil self right? Maybe not...a least for now. In comes Henry and he hugs his mom (Regina). Finally, some love for Regina even though it still irks me she hasn't told Henry she erased some of his memories a few episodes back. Ugh! Some shaky camera moves and falling things signal Regina that the trigger has been activated and they're all going to kick the bucket. All except Henry because he was born in this world. Emma and Regina argue about it but Henry stops them in time for Hook to make his appearance. Good right hook, Charming! I'm really liking him today. Don't think I've ever said that before!
