it's my turn to help someone else

Cora is an awesome Big Bad. I wonder if they're ever going to do a Sympathetic Backstory(TM) for her the way they have for Regina and Rumplestiltskin?

I mean. ZOMBIES. SHE INVENTS A ZOMBIE ARMY. That is an excellent Big Bad.

Aurora continues to grow a backbone and Mulan continues to be blatantly in love with her. I approve of both developments. /you can't take my ship from me they are OTP

/i may have been hoping that when aurora was all "they barely know me they won't give up the compass for me" cora would go "well MULAN will" but she didn't but then mulan wanted to do exactly that so it works out the same

/OTP for lyfe

...

Plus, a SUPER AWKWARD Gold/Belle date, which filled me with glee. I imagine all their dates are SUPER AWKWARD, and every time Gold does exactly the wrong thing and makes it more awkward while Belle just smiles and nods and thinks "You are so lucky I already love you."

(Seriously, when Regina shows up, Belle's reaction is "This is awkward, I'm'a bail," and Gold's reaction is, "No, no, stay! Stay and watch me make it even more awkward for you." Fail. But adorable fail.)

I am envious of both Aurora and Henry's ability to essentially fall asleep on command. If someone was communicating with me through dreams I would not be able to set up meetings with them, I would be stuck with, "Um, hope we fall asleep at similar times, then." ... Also, somebody needs to find Aurora some sensible traveling clothes.

Also, Charming!David's complete faith that he knows what Snow!MM will do -- say it with me, class: AWWWW ♥

I feel a bit like the show wants me to ship Aurora/Hook, at least a little, but it's not happening. Aurora/Mulan all the way. With minor stops for Aurora/Snow and Mulan/Emma. Wouldn't object to Emma/Hook, though, even if he is playing both sides against each other.

Very much enjoyed Snow!MM calling Emma out on the guilt Olympics not being productive, and Regina and Charming!David teaming up to keep Henry out of the dream/Netherworld.

Does this mean Charming!David is going to be out of play until Emma and Snow!MM return to Storybrooke? ... I'm enjoying him more this season and yet I'm okay with that.

I am completely willing to forgive Mulan for stealing the compass and running off, because she was doing it for love of Aurora. AND THEN AURORA RIDES RUNS TO HER RESCUE. OTP.

THAT WASN'T A GOOD ENDING D:


What do you mean winter finale D: D: D: I'm not ready
