DANIEL'S REVIEW:
NOTE: This review has spoilers, if you haven't seen the episode please don't read this review until after you've watched the episode. It also spoils the second season as well.
‘Once Upon A Time’ continues to be an inventive adventure series, and entering the third season, the show has delved into emotional journeys with these fairy-tale characters, and this episode continues its epic journey into Neverland. I have a few problems with this episode, the love part to it. I just didn’t really like Regina finding new love with the mysterious man with the lion tattoo, I don’t know, maybe it becomes a major part in the rest of the season. We’ll see. But loved the actress playing Tinkerbell, bringing a fresh new adaption to the popular ‘Peter Pan’ character. I also loved Tinkerbell and Regina’s past, that causes problems, 28 years later, now occurring in Neverland. Henry and Peter Pan had some great scenes, especially Henry’s secret being revealed of being the saviour, and not Emma, being the only person to restore the magic across the worlds. That surprised me. Also Mulan’s love interest was revealed, and without spoiling anything, it’s not what you think it is, which the highlight of the episode was, revealing Mulan’s true romantic feelings for someone else. This episode had surprises galore, and only a few mishaps. It was truly the best episode since the premiere of season 3.
Daniel's Score: 9/10
