Once Upon a Time - "The Crocodile" - Review
I very much liked this episode. Getting more back story on Rumple was brilliant. I think even more brilliant than the last bit of back story for him we got. I think combining it with Captian Hook/Jones' back story was great as well. However, my little niggle is the thing with the bean. It was sooooo obvious he'd moved the bean somewhere other than where he'd been holding it originally! That said, I did like the passage to Neverland. I really hope we get to see Neverland. That would be so awesome!
I'm glad we got to find out where Rumple's wife had run off to. I know people (not me, but I listen to podcasts so...) had been wondering. Milla was one of those characters who was very relocatable. She just wanted a better life... and that led to pirating. The only thing I fault her for is leaving her son. I don't like people who leave their children when there's really no need to.
I really enjoyed Belle's storyline in this episode, thought I found her utter lack of food knowledge a little much. I have a hard time believing she'd never had pancakes... I like that Belle is going to run the library and that she's striking out on her own. She really seems like a character who would get on fine once she's got a place to settle. I'm also glad she and Rumple have more or less worked things out. They're so wonderful together! That she got Rumple to explain himself to her is testament to that, I think.
I did not like Belle's father at all. He was ridiculously vengeful against Rumple. Like, what the hell, man? Yes, he's a horrible person. Yes, he essentially took your daughter from you. But dude, you made that deal with him and it's not entirely his fault. And the only attempt made to rescue her was made by Gaston. His solution was just... mean-spirited. Parents need to realize that their children have their own lives to live and it's their choice whether or not to love someone. Belle's dad just makes me so angry!
Okay, done with that now. On to my favorite part of the episode: Ruby. She was awesome in this episode. She was so nice to Belle and looked much better out of those skanky clothes she was in during first season. Her entire character during this episode made me extra proud to be a Ruby fan.
So... that's pretty much it from me about Once Upon a Time. Can't wait for next week and the creepy Regina story. I do miss her being her bitchy self.

The only thing I've got for this section is to let you know that, barring any unforeseen happenings (increasingly likely lately), I will be having my initial reactions for tonight's Alphas episode up later tonight. If not... possibly tomorrow. Oh! And I fixed the links in the navigation bar. They should now take you to my DeviantArt, Facebook Page, and Fanfiction.net Profile.
Love ya, Jessie.
