DANIEL'S REVIEW:
NOTE: This review has spoilers from the previous episode, if you haven't seen the previous episode or this episode please don't read this review until after you've watched both episodes.
This week’s episode of ‘Once Upon A Time’ was close to perfect. The episode threw so many twists and turns, I didn’t know what was happening. Trying not to spoil anything, Peter Pan has unleashed a curse and only Regina can save it… but with a price as Rumpelstiltskin always says “Magic comes with a price”. The last 20 minutes was emotional and heartbreaking, but I do question its longevity now and what the rest of the season has installed. The episode was powerful with strong performances by Regina, Emma, Snow and Rumpelstiltskin. This episode proved that the show can still throw curveballs just when you think it’s getting a little too safe. The one thing I didn’t particularly enjoy was the many different flashbacks which all of them containing the word “Hope”. I see the purpose, but could have been removed from the episode and nothing would have been lost, with the exception of Emma’s flashback. The episode was nearly perfect but still a great and emotional episode.
Daniel's Score: 9.2/10
