  1. I loved everything about it! But nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Graham! Knew it was coming, but still. LOL at making out with Emma gave him his memory back.

    And Regina definitely knows the truth. Tonight proved it.

  2. It was awesome, I'm sad for Graham, but maybe there's a way to bring him back, just like Snow White after eating the apple.

  3. they have to bring him back he was my fav. :(

    ReplyDelete
  4. As much as I knew that Graham was going to die the scene was still heartbreaking. Regina is so cruel and cold. It definitely was one amazing episode. On a side note the second half of the season looks great. 

    p.s I do have o mention that I loved the bitch slap between Emma and Regina.

  5. So  sad  Graham died. Hope we will see him again in the flashback

    ReplyDelete
  6. That was depressing, totally saw it coming but still sad.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Great Episode! Very reminiscent of LOST... "I remember everything!"

    ReplyDelete
  8. Poor Graham! I saw it coming but it still killed me to watch him go.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I knew it was going to happen but i still cried.Oh Graham,how sad to see you go.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I bet he didn't die. He just gonna feel anything anymore. rs

    ReplyDelete
  11. I AM SO SAD THAT HE DIED! he was my favorite character!!!!!!!! they betterr bring him back somehoww!!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Great catfight between Emma and Regina.We now know 100 percent that she remembers her past as the evil queen.

    I thought Mr Gold killed and buried the wolf when he was In the woods.This Is first episode where we saw Mr Gold without seeing Rumpy In flashback.

    We know The Queen hates SNow White because Snow told a secret the queen told her.Of course we still don't know what the secret was.

    wow i cant believe they kill him off right at the good part. I was actually hoping for more from him and to have him more involved with emma. But hey they proved to us they arent afraid to kill off main characters ( this is the 3rd new show i watch that plans or planned to kill off a main character before like 15 episodes have even aired). Not much of gold who i usually like the best but it wasnt so bad following graham around. I actually liked mary in this episode for once lol and regina was bad @ss! Killing him by the heart and such was lex luthor (from smallville) type of revenge and evil. Love this show!

  15. Grahan gets your memorys back after this he die's. Sad and the best episode so far.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Graham is dead, after the spell break and this is the best episode yet.

    Best episode ever and yet the saddest, it will be hard to get over this one ! I loved the Sheriff and in one episode they were able to build up so much and make us love so many aspects of this character that by the end you are heartbroken...amazing episode now I am sure is one of the best things on TV! two things: I would love to have Graham back he was not only hot but showed potential for a great arc and I KNEW REGINA KNOWS EVERYTHING THIS PROVES IT!!! Lana Parrilla is amazing in this hands down she is evil and before this episode she was just a mad mayor with menacing tactics tonight she showed the cold hearted Biotch she is....I hate her but I love her as well! This shows confuses you a lot on the feeling department....

    ReplyDelete
  18. Like how on Lost Hurley kissed Libby and remembered.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I cannot believe it! =C Poor Graham!

    ReplyDelete
  20. OMG. Totally mt sentiments as well. Loved this episode a whole lot but am super bummed about Graham. Damn, this show is getting so dense and layered and awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Agreed. Best one yet. And also tonight was the night I truly recognized the greatness of Parilla's performance. As the evil queen she is so menacing and animated. This role could easily have been cast with someone else and it could have come off really hammy and laughable. She really brings a nice tone and balance to the show, I think.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I knew they were going to do it! I knew! But that didn't make the Emma- Graham, graham dies thing any easier.

    ReplyDelete
  23. i cannot believe they killed him off. i am so sad. what a bad way to start finals week.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Great episode, and saddest one too. I wonder if a lot of folks will be getting their memories back from kissing Emma... it is the holidays and there is prob alot of mistletoe around... lol

    ReplyDelete
  25. Uhh.. I don't know, how about..? FANTASTI-PERFECT!

    ReplyDelete
  26. wow.. FANTASTIC episode!!  there were so many great things about it, but ultimately what I noticed, was that for the first time in a while, I found the Storybrooke segments to be just as compelling as the fairy tale ones.  the writers deserve praise for a job well done on this one!

    I loved the Regina/Emma smackdown, which was long overdue, and I had to pause the episode when Graham gave Regina the "it's not me, it's you" line.. I was laughing SO hard.. 

    as usual, I appreciated the subtle nuances that the show provides - right from the start, Graham is throwing darts at a photo of a deer, immediately cluing us in to the fact that he's the Huntsman.. the attention to detail on this show always amazes me!

    that being said, I'm really upset that Graham had to die - I legitimately liked the guy, and while I knew it was coming (the poor guy never stood a chance) I was crossing my fingers that he'd get a pass.. and poor Emma - this isn't going to contribute well to the breaking down of her "wall"!

    ReplyDelete
  27. that smackdown was loooong overdue.. loved it!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Saw that coming. Still sad though. OUAT is definitely my favorite new show. I can't wait for the next episode. and by the looks of it, it looks like a Rumplestilskien/Mr. Gold-centric once. I love him! He is so fun to watch

    ReplyDelete
  29. Well, that answers *that* question once and for all.

    (Awesome seeing Giancarlo Espisito can't wait for his ep)I knew it was going to happen.  They told us in the promo it was going to happen.  And I....well...I'm annoyed.  Backing up...I really liked the Huntsman's story.  Though why in the heck would the Queen look at a guy who cries over his kills and think.."Yes!  That's the perfect guy to hire as my personal assassin." A guy who cries when he kills for food is NOT going to be okay killing a human for money.   Which brings me to...this is the first ep where I though Regina stupid.  This character has always been cunning and able to size people up so she can manipulate them.  So she decides to tell Emma to back off her man?  Really?  Regina has been lobbing threats at Emma since she got to town and all she got for her money was the woman moving into town and building a relationship with her son.  Telling Emma to stay away from Graham was just stupid.  It felt out of character and bounced me out of the story.
    As for killing him off....mixed feelings isn't quite the right way to describe how I feel about that.  I'm of two minds.  On the one hand...once Graham climbed out of Regina's bed (i.e. dumped her) he had to die.  That woman keeps your heart in a box she's gonna squeeze it when you piss her off.  On the other hand...it felt like a cheat designed to keep them from having to deal with the weakening of the spell on a big scale.  Maybe it's just that they told this story too soon.  I don't know.  What I do know is that I HATE reset stories.  Have since I was a kid.  It's what I adore about the trend of having series with arc stories.  If they're going to be forced to play these kind of reset or no-go stories (by no-go I'm thinking stories that look like they're to somehow move the arc story forward but in fact changes nothing)  they're going to loose me as a viewer.  It becomes boring and causes me to lose faith in the story teller.  (That's part of what happened to Lost in the middle of its run.  They started doing no-go stories and the audience began to lose faith.)

    So all that said...how do I grade this ep...hmmm....I think I'll still give it an awesome.  I'll let them off the hook just this once for the reset element of the story.

  30. That wasn't really the truth, they didn't find out the whole truth until they got to the church

    ReplyDelete
  31. This was an okay episode for me, it confirmed that EQ/Regina does know but I guess she doesn't know that Rumpy knows (or at least she is hoping he doesn't), what bugged me the most was Henry, he was so calm and casual about the situation, it was me and someone just verified what I had been fixated on, I would have been a lot more excited

    ReplyDelete
  32. That was one of many things that bothered me. Just terribly inconsistent writing on the show.... no continuity of character or grounding. Everyone seems to do whatever fits the story and no more without thought of their lives outside of the episode's story.

    ReplyDelete
  33. This show gets better and better! Now Henry has confirmation! So does Emma!

    ReplyDelete
  34. That queen is so evil. Does this mean that Emma is sheriff now??

    ReplyDelete
  35. But, little by little it's getting better and at least we get a few major answers and more to ponder. The fairy tale world felt more real this week, I am not sure that I liked that. But I it's still 'the one to watch' for me. I am so use to being disappointed that I go into every new show without a lot enthusiasm (thanks in part to Lost and network executives who don't know when to let a show breathe and grow and when to cancel something that is stale and trite (yes, I am looking at you CSI and L&O:SVU)).
    BTW, did you post for Dexter or Homeland yet?

    ReplyDelete
  36. I have not watched either yet.. I may watch Homeland tonight i na bit. I've been doing some work on PC and surfing, chatting etc. Homeland is a show I like to enjoy without distraction so I'm waiting.  Dexter I watched with friends later in the week usually... unless I get bored or really want to see a given episode. 

    ReplyDelete
  37. X-Files...on a net that's been notorious for killing good shows and/or shows with the potential to be great.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Does Emma have confirmation?  She seemed to believe he was hallucinating because of his fever straight through the end.

    ReplyDelete
  39. So sad in the end! But I loved every single scene! The Bitchfight was awesome.
    I really liked the scene were Graham visits Mary M. in her classroom, because they try to remember when they got to know everyone and I hope now she tries to piece that together!

    ReplyDelete
  40. "A guy who cries when he kills for food is NOT going to be okay killing a human for money. Which brings me to...this is the first ep where I though Regina stupid."On the contrary. He cried because he had to kill an animal in order to survive. When he killed the guy (or nearly killed it), he didn't cry a single bit, since he believes that only animals have a pure heart. That's why the Queen decided to hire him: he is merciless towars humans.

    And that's the same reason why he didn't manage to kill Snow White: while reading her letter, he realized that she has a pure heart, thus he couldn't do it.

    Really amazing episode. Can't wait to see the next episode to see how the town deals with the death or the sherriff.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Jeez, this show is my new LOST. They developed Graham in this episode... And killed him off in the end! I was furious! Love the show. Catfight was awesome and less Henry --> GREAT

    ReplyDelete
  42. Great episode...excited for the next one!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. In the fairy tale the Queen wants Snow White dead so she can be the fairest of them all......in this version it seems that Snow White had loose lips regarding a secret that her step mother confided to her???? What was that secret? Was it told and I missed it .......................any ideas out there in fan land?
    The show is very well done. I knew that the Queen/ Regina knew who she was......Rumple too. What a power play taking place in that little town. Okay now Emma you seen the white wolf.........now I guess you need to start believing............

    ReplyDelete
  44. Emma did see the wolf with Graham so she knows he wasn't hallucinating.Maybe that wasn't enough to make her believe,but it sure did make her question everything that has been going on.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Just because he's dead in 'this' world doesn't necessarily mean he's dead in the Forest, right? Right?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Mr. Gold - "Did I forget to shave this morning?" Irony+  best line of the ep!! 

    ReplyDelete
  47. No, TPTB definitely did not tell us what the secret was. Whatever it was clearly it was something bad, and although Regina really did love Snow's dad, the secret being loose was the switch for Regina to then kill him????

    ReplyDelete
  48. I think he is dead, dead. The enchanted world is their past, not a paralel world.

    ReplyDelete
  49. RIGHT.

    THAT IS MY STORY AND I'M STICKING TO IT.

    ReplyDelete
  50. True, not the whole truth, but Hurley did remember that he once lived an alternate life, and Libby was in it.

    ReplyDelete
  51. That was an amazing episode! but nooooooooooo!!! noooooo! nooooooo!!!
    I'm still crying and my heart is still beating sadly! :(

    ReplyDelete
  52. And just like in LOST, favourite Boone was the first to go!! and now in OuaT ... it was Graham! :( :( :(

    ReplyDelete
  53. What's funny is that in the pilot she says she saw a wolf and that's what made her crash and then someone, I think it was Graham, said Storybrooke didn't have wolves and they chalked it up to the mayor's too strong apple (rolls eyes still) martini,

    ReplyDelete
  54. I was thinking the same thing, maybe Graham will get his own show too and be all dark and broody and maybe even a werewolf, lol

    ReplyDelete
  55. And, maybe, just like in LOST, we will discover that people who die in the main part of the show end up actually just going back to a different existence. Maybe it wasn't the heart-crushing that ended Graham.. maybe it was the fact that he now remembers!

    ReplyDelete
  56. This was really a great episode! I can't believe they really killed the Graham off.. Keep hoping he will return. It IS a magical world, after all..

    ReplyDelete
  57. It was definitely one of the best episodes so far. however, I'm so heartbroken about graham. I really loved that character and killing him off so soon ... *sigh*

    ReplyDelete
  58. I hope they  kill off Henry next. he's kind of annoying

    ReplyDelete
  59. Now THIS is the new LOST. Not that trashy show known as the Event

    ReplyDelete
  60. I kind of feel like the death was not earned by the show, its only been like 7 episodes and all these relationships that have formed its happened to quickly, it's like they are trying to pull a Lost but we had 6 seasons of those characters knowing each other.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Yes Emma is acting Sheriff. Until Regina takes it away from her.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Possibly Regina did not want to be outed as a witch?

    ReplyDelete
  63. You can tell they wrote for Lost. Get me to actually like a character I was resistant too... then kill them.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Very well done episode.

     - Just the right amount of Henry used to full effect.  That kid was quite happy that someone was remembering.
     - I continue to like the Mary Margaret / Emma scenes at the apartment.  Their relationship is probably the most consistently well written part of the show.
     - Great revelations about Regina, what she remembers (everything), and her relationship to Mary Margaret.
     - Why the hell was Mr. Gold in the middle of the woods, wearing a suit and an apron, and carrying a shovel!?  That was a truly bizarre sight.  I hope they eventually explain that.
     - I was a bit peeved at how Emma rudely brushed off Ruby in the diner.
     - I really dug the wolf.  I hope he sticks around to help Emma now that the Sheriff is dead.

    ReplyDelete
  65. That was a great line.  I'm starting to think that Mr. Gold has an agenda that's completely separate from Regina's, one that may conflict with hers.

    ReplyDelete
  66. That's now how I saw Henry.  To me, he seemed happy, relieved, and almost giddy that someone was remembering.  At the very least, he was eager.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Even if Emma had confirmation, I'm sure she'd stifle it under a huge pile of self-denial.

    ReplyDelete
  68. It was okay for me. Luckily the amount of Henry was kept to a minimum which is a big bonus.

    Mr. Gold in the wood with a shovel wearing a suit was very weird. Who would do that?

    Ginnifer Goodwin consistently fails to impress me. I never watched Big Love, but I heard good things and just asumed she's a decent actress. So far she was rather disappointing.

    Why did the mirror's voice sound a bit like a computer?

    All in all, just okay. I made my peace with the fact that people do things nobody would normally do and that the show makes me laugh at scenes that aren't supposed to be funny, but it's entertaining TV. I might not watch every episode immediately, but when I have nothing better to do it's fun catching up.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Best episode ever!! I felt so sad for Graham...

    ReplyDelete
  70. I'd forgotten about the wolf in the  pilot!

    ReplyDelete
  71. On the Queen's part that is dubious logic.  (And I'm not saying the writers did anything wrong here.  I think its one of the elements that was really right)  If the Queen were capable of understanding people...really understanding them and not just overlaying her world view, she would have seen the potential of what happened. Heck, the guy in the bar saw it.  That's why he started the fight, because he recognized the crying for what it was...a sign of weakness. (at least in his world view where compassion is weakness.  The Queen didn't see it.  For me it's one of the signs of uneven writing.   They do such a great job with moments like that...and then miss in having Reginia be so off the mark with how she handled Emma in ordering her to stay away from Graham.  

    From the promo, I predict Regina's hard ball move to get rid of Emma is going to backfire.  I think it might be fun to see Regina realize her absolute control isn't so absolute anymore.  Especially now that we know she remembers beign the Queen.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I don't remember Graham saying anything about the wolves in the pilot. I think i will have to revisit it,it seems it seems i missed a few things that happened.Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  73. A-we-so-me! I loved everything... except Graham's death at the end! :-(
    We saw it coming from the beginning, so I was quite disappointed when it finally happened without any trick.
    And, really, it's such a shame ruining a great chemistry between two characters like Emma and Graham.

    ReplyDelete
  74. It was just a plot device to give Emma one more thing to fight for, I thought she made a great point about the two guys in Regina's life

    ReplyDelete
  75. don't know if anyone said this yet, but it'll probably end with the characters in fairy tale land with all the memories of the curse

    ReplyDelete
  76. The Werewolf Diaries? :D

    ReplyDelete
  77. I felt really sad about the ending, I wish Graham will come back somehow

    ReplyDelete
  78. It was the BEST episode so far, and I knew this would happen, but still I was heartbroken. One of my favorite characters. :'(

    Although Jamie Dornan (Graham) said in an interview that he might appear again later as the huntsman... I really hope so :)

    ReplyDelete
  79. I'm hoping its something less straight forward - like she's some how the reason Rumple is in the Realm, or she gave up her first-born to him (without telling Snow's dad).

    ReplyDelete
  80. I keep wondering is Emma going to have to make out with the whole town now. I don't understand why JMo is so inexpressive in this. It's like she's confused in every single scene.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I loved it!!!!! but i didnt want Graham to die! come on!!!!! Loved the fight between Regina and Emma

    ReplyDelete
  82. Course saw it coming...just when I began to like the Graham character.
    Again a fantastic episode, with Henry incorporated as less as possible. :)
    Wonder how the town will react to his death (was there every any death in Storybrooke before?) since they don't seem to have been "born" there and "met" each other at some point.

    ReplyDelete
  83. The best episode of the show so far.. Jamie Dornan was great, the story was great and the music was beautiful. Amazing. 

    ReplyDelete
  84. Can't believe Graham died! :(
