My DVR is even more full than usual since I’ve been gone a few days and I am barely catching up. I haven’t watched the last two Masterpiece Theaters yet so I can’t comment on those. The previews didn’t absolutely grab me so they have been queued to the end of the line. Last night I did, however, watch the new Once Upon A Time: “The Return.” (Brian and I flipped a coin. Tonight he gets his choice – Grimm.)
Booth & Gold – I’m glad we are finally getting some background info on the mysterious August W. Booth. I’ve heard that some people think his fairy land character is Pinocchio. I thought maybe they were right and that was why he was hurting when he got out of bed in the beginning. Perhaps his legs are turning back to wood. (Plus we see a couple donkey references.)
A few weeks back I started thinking that perhaps Booth was Gold’s son. I told Brian that and he said he couldn’t be since Mr. Gold did not recognize him and he wasn’t living in the town like the rest of the characters. Then as the story went on and Mr. Gold and Booth had their father/son reunion I looked to Brian and smiled. See, he is his son! But as they were hugging and crying I thought, “No, this is going too smoothly. Something is going to happen… Gold is going to stab Booth while they are hugging. No, Booth will stab Gold…..Wait, what?? Booth is not actually his son. (I looked at Brian and this time he smiles at me.) So who is he?? Who was he calling? Well, we may not know yet but at least after seeing Rumpelstiltskin act so evilly, we were able to see a glimpse of Mr. Gold genuinely remorseful and loving towards his pseudo son. That has to count for something!
David & Kathryn – Well, anyone who has read my previous comments about OUAT know that I do not like David. I do not like him here or there. I do not like him anywhere. I am completely open to being proven wrong and shown that he is not that bad, but so far the only way I would root for David would be if he was up against Regina’s nauseating lapdog Sidney. What is it with these wimpy men with no backbone or foresight? I do feel bad for Kathryn and all she had to go through. She started out as an unlikable character but as we got to know her backstory I can’t help but hope for a better life for her.
Mary Margaret & the Party – I love when MM asks why the people are throwing her a party and Emma says they are her friends. MM asks, “Where were they yesterday?” Touché! Although, the card from her school class was classic.
Regina & Emma – Let the games begin!
There are only three episodes left until the season finale so things should continue to heat up!
