Once Upon a Science?

Previously: Charming was hot, Regina was conflicted, and I decided I refuse to believe Lancelot is actually dead.  Cora's totally lying and she's got him hidden somewhere.


~ What is up with this rivalry or whatever between Aurora and Snow?  I hope we see an explanation for that eventually.

~ Cora ripped out/powderized all those hearts?  I think that means we just chug the whole drink now and get a new one.

~ Ummmmm . . . hello Hook.

~ That was an awesome punch.

~ I'm not sure it was technically deserved though.  But there are not many things Charming can't get away with in my book.

~ So Regina's going through withdrawal?  I like . . .

~ If FTL isn't Whale's land, then what is Whale doing in Storybrook?

~ She brought who she wanted?  Intriguing . . .

~ What is a unicorn doing that close Rumplilocks?  No way is he a young maiden.

~ Attempt at powderizing a heart = take a sip?

~ Dead but frozen?  Like Uncle Walt beneath the castle?  Lol.

~ CALL HIM GRANDPA HENRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~ Again, what are they mining?

~ It appears we have a missing body . . . I'm thinking maybe Daniel is Whale's brother?

~ Wait, what?  Jefferson?  Why are you here?

~ I would take a much bigger pile of gold, personally.  Seeing as Rumplilocks can just spin more anytime.

~ I'm not surprised Regina forgot she was the queen.  I kind of had myself.

~Wreck-It Ralph seriously looks really cute.

~ Dude, what is Hook's deal?  Quite the fake fall from grace he's playing at.

~ I see Emma's learned about FTL appropriate weapons.

~ "Off we shall go to see the wizard"?  I thought Jefferson was from Wonderland, not Oz.

~ Frankenstein.  Called it!  Of course, it was pretty obvious after last week's promo.

~ Wonderland - I like.  Neverland - I like.  Oz - I'm okay with.  Frankenstein . . . I really don't know that I like it.  I mean, Frankenstein is based in our world where all the others are . . . you know, in their own land.

~ Is this before or after she killed the king?  Because I fail to see a point in bringing Danial back if she's still married to the king.  Unless, I suppose, they allow divorce in FTL.

~ Who's heart got used?  And what do you want to bet Regina has to kill Monster-Daniel? (Maniel?  Donster?)

~ CHARLIE BROWN IS ON WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~ Why is Jefferson tagging along to get the heart?

~ Holy motherlode of hearts Batman.

~ I think we need to take a drink for sheer powderizing potential.

~ "You have hearts here?!"  Charming line of the week.  Not as good as the others, but he just as THE best reactions to everything.

~ Did Regina just call him David?  She called him Charming last time.

~ Should have seen that coming.  Henry's going to get to try out those sword skills sooner than he thought.

~ These Chanel No. Pitt commercials are just getting weirder.

~ Another Hook-ish shout-out to Captain Sparrow.  I love it.

~ An enchanted compass?  That's taking a little too much from Pirates, no?

~ Loved the argument between Charming and Regina.  Talk about brilliant casting.

~ What land is Frankenstein supposed to be from anyway?

~ Soooooooooo . . . Regina's been collecting hearts all this time in hopes that one of them will be strong enough to bring Daniel back?

~ The one that got used appears to have been a little too strong.

~ Yeah, saw that whole "let me go" thing coming, didn't we?

~ What did he say?  Love again?

~ So this whole show happened because she couldn't let go of Daniel in the first place and now she just vanishes him like that?  Not sure how I feel about that . . .

~ Grilled onions?  McDonald's, you have found my weakness!

~ Wait.  Beanstalk?  What?

~ Does Regina have any non-mayoral clothes?  I'd love to see her in something more casual.

~ Rule 4 - DRINK!

~ I love how Jiminy Cricket is totally embracing his Storybrook identity.

~ Waaaaaaaaaait . . . holy double cross Batman!

~ Did NOT see that coming.

~ Who's heart did Rumplilocks just give him?!?!

~ Rule 3 - DRINK! (close enough)

~ Okay, that "charge an arm and a leg" line was seriously genius.

~ I love how they haven't called Frankenstein by his actual name this whole time and now Rumplilocks calls him Victor . . . since it's not necessarily common knowledge that that really is his first name.  Nicely done.

~ And of course we had to use the "it's alive" line.

~ That's it?

~ The fact that Hurley is the giant makes me happier than it probably should.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . anyone else a little underwhelmed this week?  I feel like they tried to hard to make an awesome Halloween episode and in the process lost sight of what made for an awesome Once Upon a Time episode in general.  And I can't help but wonder if the writers knew from the beginning that Whale was Frankenstein or if they decided to go with that in order to do a Halloween episode.  And I'm not really sure which version I like less.  Hopefully things get back on track next week with the Emma back story.
