Once Upon a Time REACTION - S03E08 - Think Lovely Thoughts

This has to the creepiest title of the series, or at least season. There's something about the term "Lovely" in there that just makes my skin crawl.

Once Upon a Time REACTION - S03E08 - Think Lovely Thoughts

Comments

I'm not sure of the answer to that. However, my theory is perhaps the Shadow saw the love and devotion Malcolm had for Neverland and knew that he was the perfect host to latch onto, much like the darkness latches onto its host when new Dark Ones are formed. Each person who becomes a Dark One has the potential for darkness and evil, just as Malcolm/Pan does as well. So... the Shadow used its power to transform Malcolm back into a boy, as a child is the only one who can rule over Neverland. Does this make sense? I hope so.

My biggest question about this episode is why the Shadow agreed to let Malcolm stay and become young by banishing Rumple rather than just banishing Malcolm since he was old already.

Thank you for another fun reaction! This huge twist with Pan turning out to be Rumple's father all along was priceless. And I really enjoyed this episode a lot. It isn't one of my favorites from this season, but it does have one of the show's biggest twists in it when Pan was revealed to be Rumplestiltskin's father. I loved that I didn't see that coming... at all. :) I enjoy the overall storylines for both the present day and in the backstory, when we finally get to know Rumple as a young boy and how he wound up living with the spinsters after his father abandoned him. However, I was disappointed in the very end because Henry fell for Pan's lies and trusted him over both of his mothers and his father, especially after they pleaded with him to believe in them like they believed in him. That they loved him. This really bothered me so much. It makes me dislike Henry just a little. I still love him through the rest of the seasons, but you're right that season two and the first half of season three really takes away from what I love about him, and it makes me wish that so much of the focus from this Neverland arc wasn't so centered around him and Pan. I love the Neverland arc overall, and it's among my favorites, but it's not my absolute favorite arc for this reason. Henry kind of goes back and forth between liking magic and hating it a little too much for me, and the fact that he was willing to sacrifice his life with his family all there for him, even upon believing Pan when he told Henry all he would have to sacrifice was going back home, when last season Henry was prepared to destroy magic with a stick of dynamite, kind of made me mad. But then Pan is very convincing and Henry is still just an eleven year old boy. I do somewhat understand it. Just not enough to not let this make me feel upset with him. I really like how Emma encouraged Mary Margaret to have hope that a way for David to leave Neverland can be found, when Mary Margaret is usually the one giving the hope speeches. And more so, I loved the moment between Emma and Hook when Emma asks him if there's anything more he can do to help her find a way to help David. I especially love Hook's remark after Emma first approaches him and states they need to talk, as Hook answers, "I've found that when a woman says that, I'm rarely in for pleasant conversation." And I also love the moment Rumple steals Hook's sword and begins to tease Hook about how his looks could fail him, then David continues to mock Hook as he tosses Hook the dagger. Brilliant! I am sad that Hook wasn't in this episode more than he was, but I also understand why this episode focused so much more on Rumple, Pan, Emma, Regina, and Neal, with them being the parents. As for Rumple's role throughout this episode... I like the brief moment where he begrudgingly agrees to help David with the cure for the cure after Neal sternly tells him to help without a price attached. But more so, I really enjoy the scene he has with Pan inside Skull Rock, when Pan uses his old card trick to steal the real Pandora's Box from Rumple in another twist I didn't expect and that was very cleverly done. Sadly, Pan traps Rumple inside the box instead of Rumple doing so to Pan. I also really like how Emma was clever to come up with the idea to create an eclipse over the moon so they can break through Pan's barrier spell, and that Emma and Regina combine their powers together to do so. Brilliant once again! That twist though with Pan being Rumple's father... definitely one of the biggest twists in the show. Not my favorite twist, but it's huge. And I also like that we learn Rumple called the doll Rumple has had in his possession all this time Peter Pan, which is Pan's reason for calling himself Peter Pan. Very nice. Overall... brilliant and so good. :) Thank you again!! I look forward to the next episode. Until next time...
