Once Upon a Time REACTION - S02E02 - We Are Both

Thank you so much! I loved this episode a lot. David was amazing throughout, and I even loved how he was unsure of himself in the beginning, saying how Snow was the one who gave the speeches, while he did more of the fighting. Both Henry and Ruby really helped him come into his true self again, which I loved. But honestly, David did really well with his "We are both" speech. It was beautiful and I absolutely believed him like each of the characters did. And his relationship with Henry is absolutely adorable, as it continues to be. By the way... everyone who've I've watched reacting to Once Upon a Time always seems confused by what to call Charming. Charming... both his true self and his cursed self are David. The only time he had a different name aside from being called Charming by Snow, was when David pretended to be his twin brother James in King George's and Rumplestiltskin's ruse for the sake of George's Kingdom when he tried to trick King Midas for his gold and wealth. For a long time, everyone knew him as James, until eventually Charming told Snow the truth about who he really was when they got together again and married. I hope this makes sense. I thought I would bring this up, even though you probably get it better than I did the first time I watched this series through. Now... as for Regina's story in both the past and present storylines, I loved them. There were so many great parallels between them with how Regina treated Henry as Cora treated her. And I loved the origin story for Regina becoming Rumplestiltskin's student in magic too. Cora was a real witch and a horrible mother, but I'm so happy that Regina had come around to see the person she really was. I love that Regina finally punished her too. Also, I love that Regina corrected her mistake and allowed Henry to go home with David. What a powerful character building moment for her. As for Regina's scenes with Gold, as well as David's scene with him too... very cool. I always love the two villains talking, and any confrontation with Gold. Robert Carlyle is a brilliant actor, just like so many in this show. And finally... I was really happy we got a little of Emma and Mary Margaret in the end, and now they're about to come face to face with Cora. I hate that they're being treated like prisoners by Mulan and Aurora, but I kind of understand a little too. Oh... and I also felt so badly for Marco/Geppetto and August. So sad. I would have loved to have seen them reunite, but perhaps they will later on. Thank you so much again! I look forward to your coming reactions. It's getting so exciting. Until next time...
