Once Upon a Time REACTION - S02E08 - Into the Deep

Thank you again, for another wonderful reaction from you!! I really love this episode a lot! I especially love the beautiful moment between David and Mary Margaret within the Netherworld. I love David's absolute faith in Snow and how they call each other Snow and Charming again. Sadly, Mary Margaret is terrified because David's plan for her to wake him through True Love's Kiss while still together in the Netherworld failed because their bodies weren't physically there and because Mary Margaret was waking up. And now... David is trapped within a sleeping curse until she and Emma can get back home. Also... I absolutely love all of the scenes with Hook. And even though Hook has stolen Aurora's heart in order to give it to Cora so he could get back into the sorceress' good graces, I fully believe Hook was genuine in his feelings towards Emma, despite his anger with her for leaving him chained up in the giants' castle. However, he's been seeking revenge against Rumplestiltskin for over two hundred years now and so suddenly letting go of his quest of revenge is not so easy to do when he can't trust Emma or anyone to be fully on his side. And he doesn't trust anyone easily either. Which is what partly makes for Hook and Emma to be such a good team, because in so many ways, they are both so much alike. As for Cora... this episode so far is definitely her best and she is a great villainess, even though I still hate her. And I really do. She's just a little too twisted in all of her actions she does claiming to be doing it for her daughter, when she's really acting for herself. People who act claiming their actions to be for others they love when all they are are twisted... it's frightening. Now... I love the moments between Henry and David too. David is so good with Henry. They have many, many sweet and tender moments together. I also like the scenes of Gold with David, Henry, and Regina, as they work together to try to help Emma and Mary Margaret find their way home. Lastly... I like Aurora more in this episode I think, than I've ever really liked her in Once Upon a Time... I suppose maybe because she just doesn't feel like Aurora from Sleeping Beauty like I would have imagined her. And that's harsh and unfair... I know, but nevertheless... Aurora does get better throughout each episode, for which I am grateful. Mulan on the other hand… while I normally like her a lot, I think her scenes in this episode bothered me more so than in others because she kept going against Emma and Mary Margaret, then ran away with the compass. Thank goodness they catch up to her. And then, Aurora is freed by Hook and unbeknownst to us at the moment until she returns to her friends, that Hook has somehow ripped out her heart to give it to Cora, which we won't find out how until the next episode. And now Cora is in complete control over her. I can't wait for the next episode!!!! It's another of my overall favorites from season two. Thank you again! Until next time...
