Once Upon A Time - 3x02 "Lost Girl" FULL REACTION

The Lies! The Deceit! The End! - LOL Thanks for another great reaction. Personally, I much prefer the part set now in Neverland to the flashback scenes in this episode. And although there are links/parallels between the two, I don't think they are anywhere near as strong as in many eps. The scenes with Rumple and that straw doll from his past are very intriguing - they do a good job of making you want more. Emma being a 'lost girl' because she still feels like an orphan is very sad, but understandable. Her childhood was tough, and I'm never comfortable with Snow & Charming's decision to put their baby in a tree to arrive in another unknown world all alone ( as far as they knew). Oh the angst! :) I really like the interactions between Emma & Hook. Charming annoys me in this ep - why hide the injury , grr!

Yes... I absolutely love the dialogue between Hook and Emma as he asks her who she is, to which she responds... "Wouldn't you like to know." And I absolutely love how Hook answers to her, "Perhaps I would." Beautiful. I agree... I love this moment between them. It's definitely among my favorite moments between Killian and Emma in this episode. :)

Thanks so much for another great reaction to an awesome episode. Season 3 is one of my favorites & you will see why. I enjoyed the backstory & how it paralleled with the neverland scenes. But, my favorite scenes are in neverland. I love the banter between Hook & David. You will really enjoy their bromance. I love when Hook tells David “See I told you we were getting along”. I also love the dynamic that’s starting to form within the group. I love the scene with Emma & Mary Margaret when Emma tells her what is was like for her growing up. It was such a heartbreaking scene. Jennifer Morrison was phenomenal during that scene. You could feel & hear the pain & emotion in her voice. I absolutely love the scene with Emma & killian when he asked her what she did to get the map to appear on the paper & she says “I did what pan said & admitted what I really am”. Then he asks her “and what is that”? & she says “wouldn’t you like to know” which then he replied “perhaps I would”. That’s such a beautiful & at the same time heartbreaking scene between them. You can tell Killian is really trying to connect with her & build up trust but Emma just makes it so difficult for him because she still is afraid to trust him & open up to him. I enjoyed the scenes with Rumple & “Belle” & the scenes involving the doll Pan gave him. As you could see the doll really upset him as it brought up painful memories from his past. Its a very intriguing mystery surrounding the doll & why it upset him so much. I can’t wait till you find out more about it & why it affected him so much. Overall, I love this episode. Its one of my favorites. I’m so excited for you to watch the rest of the season & see the adventure that awaits them in neverland. It’ll be very exciting!!!

Thank you so much for another fantastic reaction! I really enjoy this episode a lot, and I love the parallels between the main storyline for Emma as she struggles with figuring out who she feels she is and who she truly is, and the backstory for Snow, as she also struggles to find her strength in who she is as well. First... in answer to your question about who we've had back in season two from the Arthurian legends... you were right when you believed it was Lancelot. He made an appearance back in season two's episode, Lady of the Lake. He marries Snow and Charming for David's mother before she dies, then later in the present storyline, it's revealed Cora had disguised herself as Lancelot all along to trick Snow and Emma. Lancelot was a close friend of theirs, who had become a disgraced knight of the Roundtable and banished from Camelot. Back to Lost Girl... my favorite moments in this episode, like in most episodes too, are those between Hook and Emma, as well as Hook and David. I love Hook's banter with them, like when Hook asks Emma how it was the stories portrayed his character and assumed the world saw him as ruggedly handsome, until Emma smugly states, "if you think wax mustaches and perms are your thing." And I love how Hook also mocks David about them getting along, more than once throughout this episode. And then... Hook is also very gentle with Emma and encourages her not to give up hope. I love this about him and I love how it's clear that Hook is drawn to Emma. That he's growing to truly care about her. He may be smug and still a pirate and villain, but he's not the same villain he first was when he was introduced into the show back in season two's episode, The Crocodile. And his character has most certainly grown a lot since then. As for the rest of the storylines... First, I really enjoy the backstory with Snow and Charming, as Snow struggles with trying to defeat Regina upon losing faith in her strength to lead and protect her people. And I really like how David helps her to find herself again by using the story of Excalibur being trapped within the stone and that only a true leader can lead this kingdom's people, in order to show her she's stronger than she believes herself to be. Yes... David may have lied to her about Rumplestiltskin helping him again and about finding Excalibur, but I appreciate that he did so to help Snow and I appreciate that Snow saw it this way as well, instead of remaining angry with him for lying to her. Next... I really enjoy the moment Pan first introduces himself to Emma and how he offers her a chance to save Henry with a map that would only appear to her, so long as she followed his rules to get the map's magic to work for her. Unfortunately, Emma struggles with discovering the secret that would unlock the map, as she tries admitting everything she's ever denied about herself, including that she's the Savior, which she has denied more than anything else. And to make things worse, Regina grows impatient with Emma and snatches the map so she can enchant it to lead them to Pan himself despite Pan's rules. This leads to the team into a trap, as Pan and the Lost Boys attack them as punishment for breaking his rules. A big battle breaks out and David is wounded upon being grazed by one of the Lost Boys' arrows we learn the arrows are tipped with dreamshade, which we learn from Hook earlier on that it's the very poison from Neverland he used in a concentrated dose to poison Gold back in season two's episode, The Queen Is Dead. That in its true form, the dreamshade kills a person slowly and painfully. The battle ends abruptly when Pan sees the way Emma is looking down at the boy pinned beneath her, and she immediately let's him go as the boys all begin to retreat. Pan then warns Emma to got back to following his rules by admitting who she truly is. Later... Mary Margaret comes over to speak with Emma upon seeing her frustration and despair deepen. I really love this conversation between mother and daughter. It's so sad, but it's also beautiful. Beautifully acted by Jennifer Morrison, as she comes to finally realize who she really believes herself to be upon feeling very alone and lost... a Lost Girl just as Pan later calls her to taunt her. I really felt the pain and emotion Emma let off as she continued speaking with Mary Margaret, and I also felt really bad for Mary Margaret too. And I love her line as Mary Margaret says to Emma... "It's okay. It's my job to change that.", assuring Emma she hopes they can mend their relationship so that one day Emma will come to truly see them as her mother and father, and that she will come to see herself for who she truly is. Not just the Savior, but as their daughter and that she is no longer alone. Beautiful! :) I really do love Pan as a villain and I love the direction this Neverland arc takes us. And I love his scene with Emma in the end with Pan, as he not only taunts her about being a Lost Girl and not having forgiven her parents for abandoning her, but I love his threat about how Henry won't want to ever leave Neverland the longer it takes for them to find and save him, as well as his threat towards David and Mary Margaret, which leads to the moment David studies the wound from the arrow and realizes he's in trouble. And lastly... I liked all of the moments between Rumple and Belle, who reveals herself to be a ghost brought on by his mind. And I love seeing Rumple cut out his own shadow so that it can take his dagger someplace safe, where no one can ever find it including himself. Overall... this was a really good episode. Emma most definitely shined throughout this episode as she was meant to. And I just love her continued struggle with finding out who she is, as well as how encouraging Hook is for her. And while she denies a lot of who she is, she appears to be more grateful for his encouragement, than she is for the encouragement given to her from her own parents. It's sad, but I do love it. Thank you so much again! Like always, I truly enjoyed your reaction for this episode as well, and I can't wait for more to come!!! :) Until next time...
