Once Upon A Time – “Broken” – Blog Review

Once Upon a Time season two finally premiered last night and I’m so glad it’s finally back on. The premiere was full of long lost family member hugs, happy tears, dementia’s, and a very hot Josh Dallas being called Grandpa. I’m still in the aftershock of it all!! It starts off with a man in NYC making his way to apartment and all the street signs and objects in his room are clues. Why I love writers Adam and Eddie so much, they put little clues in everywhere. When the mystery man tries to close his window from the rain, a honing pigeon drops a post card in his hands and then we see it says: “Greetings from Storybrooke!” Maybe this man couldn’t get into Storybrooke before, because of the curse. Now that Emma has broken it, I’m certain we’ll see him very soon.

Off in FTL two men on horseback go to a land that we haven’t seen before and try and save a princess. The man goes over to the princess and kisses her, making her wake up! We realize that this is Prince Phillip ( Played by the totally hot British Julian Morris) and he has awaken Princess Aurora (Played by Sarah Bolger)

Back in Storybrooke, Snow and Charming are still together (THANK GOD.) and run off to find out what happened. Snow and Charming find Ruby, Granny, and the dwarfs and they have a hug fest that makes me want to run around and hug everyone. Snow tells them all that it’s time for her to find her daughter. Emma comes up behind them and tells them: “So it is true…” Snow looks at her newly discovered daughter and simply says: “You found us…”

Charming, walks over to Emma and goes to hug her and as soon as he holds he, he realizes that it’s his daughter.

PASS THE TISSUES, PLEASE.

Snow and charming try and talk to Emma, about everything, but Emma isn’t ready to talk about much yet. The Blue Fairy appears and tells everyone that magic has returned. But the question still remains, why are they still in Storybrooke? Suddenly a mob starts running down the street and Archie tells them that they’re going to kill Regina. Emma tells them that Regina’s not responsible for the curse, Gold is. If Regina has her powers, many people could die. They all run off to try and stop Regina.

When they all go to Regina’s they realize that she doesn’t have powers, and instead of killing her, they’ll lock her up to protect everyone and herself.

In FTL Phillip’s guard sees something and BAM up pops out of the ground a dementor!! Okay, it’s not a dementor, but it’s a cousin of one!! Phillip tries to kill the thing and only slices off its necklace. Phillips guard tells them that they should leave the land and luckily they didn’t get marked by the creature named Wraith. Aurora asks who the guard is and then we discover that he is a she, named Mulan. Aurora is put off by her being a girl but doesn’t make a big deal about it. When Aurora and Phillip go to leave, Phillip sees that the medallon marked his hand with the symbol and means that they wraith will come to kill him but hides it from Aurora. Later, Phillip makes a camp and tells Aurora that he’s going to get wood for a fire but when he walks off he sheds a single manly tear and I’m pretty sure he’s not coming back.

In Storybrooke, Gold unlocks something from one of his chests and he pulls out the same medal the creature had on! He goes into the woods and uses his rumplestiltskin dagger and summons the wraith to Storybrooke. Gold goes to see Regina and brands her hand with the mark from the medallion. The mark means that she will suffer a fate worse than death. The wraith will come and find her and suck out her soul. Lovely.

I am actually feeling really bad for Regina, and I have no clue why. See as 30 mins ago I was cool with her leaving or dying. I blame Henry and him being all “She’s still my mom” telling them not to kill Regina.

Emma, David, and Mary Margaret get ready to go to Golds but Mary Margret asks Emma if she’s even happy that she found them and that MM wants to talk to Emma, because they’ve talked before but not knowing who they really were.

MM: we talked, but we didn’t know we were talking. And it was mostly about stuff we should’t have been talking about.. like one night stands…

David: One night stands?!
MM: …Whale.

David: WHALE?!

MM: We were cursed!

Emma tells them that of course she’s glad she found them, but for 28 years she was alone. Mary Margaret tells her that she did it to give her, her best chance or she would have been cursed. Emma tells them that even though she would have been cursed, they would have been together. If Emma isn’t ready to be their child, I volunteer. Look how happy they are. Josh Dallas can hug me any time.

When they get to Golds, Emma demands to know why Gold tricked her. Gold being a smart evil genius says that she got what she wanted and that he brought magic back. Suddenly Storybrooke starts shaking and exploding and a dementor  Wraith starts flying around. Emma, MM, and Charming all leave to try to get somewhere safe.

Belle comes in and tells Gold that he lied to her. He twists words and hurts everyone. Not impressed by him, she decides to leave. Dude, what you expected. I’d totally dump you.

In FTL Aurora notices that Phillip isn’t back and Mulan tells him that he was marked by the wraith and that he’s going to die. Mulan tells Aurora that she’s going to go find him and runs off. Aurora finds Mulan and tells her that she’s going to help get Phillip back whether Mulan likes it or not. Phillips calls to the wraith and Mulan offers to sacrifice her life for his but he declines her offer. Aurora tells him that she can’t live without him and he says he can’t either. He turns his head a little and says he loves you to Aurora and Mulan. The Wraith comes and kills Phillip.

No. Why do you have to go and Kill Phillip? That’s not right, writers. I’m mad at you today. Phillip was hot. And British. AND HOT. RIP Prince Phillip here’s to singing “Once Upon a Dream” in Prince heaven.

In Storybrooke, Regina’s in her cells and the lights start flickering and the wraith goes in and attacks Regina. Mary Margaret’s Snow White side kicks in and the girl uses hairspray and a light to create a mini blow torch. The wraith leaves but it isn’t dead. Regina and the family join forces to get the wraith and trap it in another world, so they use Jefferson’s hat.

Regina tries to get the hat to work while David tries and distracts the wraith. Regina can’t get the hat to work, Emma puts her hand on Regina’s arm and suddenly the hat comes alive and the portal opens. Just as the wraith comes for Regina, Emma pushes her out of the way and the wraith goes in the portal. The wraith grabs on to Emma’s leg and pulls her in too. Mary Margaret screams and tells David she’s not leaving her again, and jumps in with her. David jumps to go into the portal but it closes just as he tries to jump in.

EXCUSE ME, WRITERS. YOU JUST SEPARATED THE BEST FAMILY EVER. 28 YEARS IS ENOUGH. Now his wife and daughter are gone AGAIN. Now Josh Dallas cues up the angry tears that I’m quite positive are worse than his sad tears. Leave the man alone.

David tells at Regina, asking if they’re alive and the man gets angry. We’ve never seen him angry and It’s hard to watch because the man is crying and did I mention it’s not fair. Give him his family back. Charming tells Regina he should have killed her when he had the chance, Regina suddenly has magic and pins Charming against the wall. EXCUSE ME, WHEN DID YOU GET MAGIC. Dont hurt him. His face is the moneyyyyy!

Regina tells him that she should have killed him when she had the chance. Regina just as she is about to kill Charming by pulling his already crushed and family abandoned heart, Henry asks her what she’s doing.

Henry: Mom! What are you doing!?!?
Regina: Not killing your newly found grandpa, if that’s what you’re implying.

David: *Wheezing*

Henry tells his mom that if she truly does love him that he needs to leave the whole town and himself alone, Regina asks who henry is going to live with and David says he’ll live with him.

ALL THE HENRY-GRANDPA FEELINGS!

Belle goes back to see Gold. He tells her that he shouldn’t be with her. He’s still a monster. She tells him that’s exactly the reason she’s staying, to help him.

David and Henry get back to Mary Margaret’s place and Henry, sad, stares at the picture of Emma and MM. David tells Henry that he’ll get them back. “I will find them. I will always find them.”

*Crying*

In FTL Mulan tells Aurora that there are more evil things in the land and that they have to find their way to the safe haven. Before they leave, they hear something rustling under the rubble. When they go over to the debris, Aurora asks Mulan what was hiding. Mulan tells her that it’s the reason Phillip is dead. The wraith brought it with it. IT’S NONE OTHER THAN MARY MARGARET AND EMMA.

I hope everyone enjoyed Last night’s episode. It was amazing and I’m so glad my favorite show is back on!! Who do we think the mystery guy at the beginning is? Will Emma and Mary Margaret make it back to Storybrooke?
