Date: 2012-03-26 01:42 am (UTC)It was a good episode. I thought the stark contrast in the way Emma and Mary Margaret reacted to being held prisoner and the differences in their body language when trying to creep out was spectacular. Emma so much bolder/stronger than Mary Margaret. Then Mary Margaret turned around and did some awesomeness that's so foreign to the person supposedly is. Was nice.

And Regina continues to show us why she is the EVIL QUEEN. She may have felt a bit bad about leaving Jefferson behind but I doubt she lost a moment's sleep over it or the thought she had torn yet another family apart.

Date: 2012-03-26 04:57 pm (UTC)I knew the moment that his name was the same in FTL and Storybrooke that he would remember it all.
However, I see no other wonderland characters in Storybrooke, so if he was stuck in Wonderland how did he make it to Storybrooke?
I wanted to believe that Emma was talking for real when she said she wanted to believe that MM was her mother!
Now, do all the evil queens (Queen of Hearts and EQ herself) have vaults they store things in?
I think this was a really good episode. It's definitely dawning on Emma that things aren't what they seem.

Date: 2012-03-27 09:27 am (UTC)I wondered about this as well. Maybe it was because he was originally from Fairytaleland that he ended up in Storybrooke.
But that still leaves us with the question, WHY did he remember? What makes him different from the others in Storybrooke?

Anyone else notice that Regina kept her name! We always knew her as EQ. Now we know her name is Regina! Was this already known? I feel like it's new.

Also, isn't it funny that the only line Robert Daltrey says is "Who R U" and he's from the band The Who. :) Lots of play on words here.

Date: 2012-03-28 08:47 am (UTC)I have a question... exactly what was the layout of that house?
When we see Emma help Jefferson into the building, it is pretty much intimated (albiet not confirmed, but still) that they enter some sort of living room/lounge/entertaining area. Which would be... on the ground floor. It seems immediately close to the front door.
Yet, as soon as Emma sneaks out, she finds Mary Margaret tied up a few doors down the corridor... the room Jefferson then takes her to is again also shown explicitly to be a few doors away from Mary Margaret's room... and yet when they fight and Jefferson falls out the window suddenly they are two or three stories up?
Who has their entry way/lounge/living room several flights of stairs? And, if so, why would Emma think it normal to help him up those stairs with a twisted ankle?
And how did they get the piano up there?
I'm confused.
