S1E10: "7:15 am"

[Jade]

I return tonight! I won't be able to do real-time comments, because I have family around. And they're being incredibly noisy. And a little obnoxious. It's really remarkable how you can love someone and kiiiiinda want to punch them...like, really hard. Anyway, a car is stuck in the yard from the ice storm we got yesterday and this has been a point of drama for ENTIRELY too much time today for me to be able to enjoy tonight's episode without killing someone.

But...I'm looking forward to more Snow/Charming action! What about you guys? What did you think of the episode?

[Jade]

So, the insanity calmed down and I got to watch tonight's episode.

Yet again, the episodes about Snow/Charming (or, to a lesser extent, MM/David) are the most interesting to me. I wanted to smack Snow at the end, there. And Sana is right. People need to stop making deals with Rumple.

The actress who plays Red really is lovely, isn't she? The definitely overdo the makeup for me in Storybrooke, but in the EF scenes tonight, she was really quite lovely.

So...the Stranger looked familiar to Regina, so he's clearly someone. But whom? And why wasn't he in Storybrooke to begin with?

Okay...Regina needs a hobby. I'm going to give her a pass on stalking MM tonight, because - again - if she's going to make anyone miserable, and concentrate her attention on doing so, it's going to be Snow. That said, after watching the Hansel and Gretel episode, I thought it was pretty absurd that she has apparently NOTHING better to do with her time but to muck in the affairs of Hansel and Gretel. Okay, yeah, the two of them had refused her so she wasn't happy with them. But if she's going to focus her attention on every person who so much as overcooked her morning baguette in the Enchanted Forest, then she's going to pretty much never get anything else done. And, at a certain point, it's just a little ridiculous.

"She's not pregnant" has to be the most unromantic prelude to an OTP kiss ever.

When are we going to learn more about Red?

Grumpy's backstory was interesting. I actually loved that he whistled "Whistle while you work" in the jail cell.

I actually kinda liked that they put a twist on Snow getting to know and stay with the dwarves. It gives a bit more depth to the story than having her just run into them and...clean their house or whatever it was.

What did you guys think?
