Episode Discussion 2x04: The Crocodile

Belle's disgust over Mr. Gold's continuing thirst for power comes to a head, and she threatens to leave him if he can't change his evil ways; the dwarves pick up their axes and try to find fairy dust in the Storybrooke mine; and a reunion with an old acquaintance could prove to be Belle's undoing. Meanwhile, back in the fairytale land that was, Rumplestiltskin attempts to save his wife, Milah, from being kidnapped by a band of cutthroat pirates.

P.S. Phew! Barely made it. Sorry for the delay. Wal-Mart had no less than 15 people in all 5/600 of its lines.

P.P.S. You all know it's really paining me to not use the picture I want up here. *meeps!!!*

Well, so far at least Cora is just unapologetic evil, and I'm loving it. While I do love the complicated, "grey" villains, as you put it, I actually would like to see a Regina embrace her bad side and put a bit more cackle in her evil. Her "greyness" annoys me in a way no one else's on the show does. (I honestly think she would have been better cast as Snow White. I think she's a ringer for the Disney cartoon version.)

PS: I loved the ending of Lost! Michael Emerson started me off on a cascade of tears for the whole last 20 minutes of that episode ... and beyond. Ironically, I absolutely hated Ben Linus with a passion until that jaw-dropping moment in Season 4 when I wanted to jump inside my TV set and hug him. Going back and rewatching all the episodes before shed a whole new light on him, and I fell madly in love with his ambiguous snarkiness. It's a thin line, and I loved it because I was so ready to stop watching after they got rid of Charlie! Yet another 20 minutes of uncontrollable sobbing. (And the irony is who ordered him to be killed--and who was supposed to carry it out!)
