Neverland?! I hope we never leave!


ONCE UPON A TIME! 3.0

Season 3 has begun and like most episodes of OUAT the writers like to remind us why we're watching. So we're transported into the past where Henry is born and Emma is determined not to be a mother. FLASH-FORWARD to a boat where Emma is determined to get her son back. 

Now the real story begins. Our crew of Snow, Charming, Hook, Rumple, the Evil queen herself Regina and Emma race through the portal to Neverland on a ship! It's brilliant that they're all mortal enemies yet also all family (Excluding hook who is the ships captain) and the dynamics of them having to work as a team will be great to see through the first half of the season. 
Off the bat Rumple has already told Emma some hard truths about her not believing in magic WHICH is brilliant to start off with so early on the season.

Que personal FLASHBACK:

- Do you remember when Cora (Regina's mother) the self proclaimed Queen of hearts tried to take Emma's heart but couldn't and they brushed it off with that Emma is a product of true love? -

Well that annoyed me due to the fact that the only woman who had a vault full on hearts and couldn't take Emma's was brushed off so easily by everyone. Emma has never been a believer and she's always looking for facts which is completely correct and now she's going to a place where belief is key to winning Henry back.


Next stop MERMAIDS love to rock the boat (See what I did there) which is clearly shown in this episode! But no Ariel! Possibly her sisters, never the less I'm sure she's close by as Regina decided to turn her sister into wood! Which was a BRILLIANT scene temperatures are rising and everyone is fighting, brilliant in giving the audience what they wanted right at the start!

On top of that Neverland holds a lot of secrets, which is SO FRUSTRATING due to the fact that only Emma, Henry, Tamara and Greg no nothing about this Island apart from it's name and the entire cast know EVERYTHING but no one has mentioned anything at all. Talk about keeping an audience waiting!

But to wrap it up with the WORST ending that the show could give us. We discover who peter pan is and him and the shadow could be one (I thought they could be two separate beings) so with that information given to us and now he has Henry cornered... What does the evil pan want?! So evil that he's had THE DARK ONE in tears on the floor.... So evil that he snatches children from the UK.... So evil that he's gathered soon to be robin hoods band of not so merry men.... Oh he wants Henry's heart. -The heart of the truest believer - ..... That it?! All this effort for his heart.

OUAT I would like a complicated plot, i want death, I want explanation and I want Henry to get hurt because he is SO ANNOYING. I'll give him some leverage because his opening scene, landing on Neverland with his captors was full of fight and spunk. So I applaud to you Henry but apart from that don't speak. 

Overall GREAT episode, all will be revealed slowly and in time which I'm sure will be great, but i want it now! 
Bring on Episode 2 called THE LOST GIRL. 

Keep believing kids!
