3.09 Save HenryEh? Seriously? I… don’t get it… If Pan can do that - switch bodie
3.09 Save HenryEh? Seriously? I… don’t get it… If Pan can do that - switch bodies with Henry - then why did he go through all that trouble of getting him to Neverland and wasting all of our time with the mind games? He had Henry all to himself but he insisted on doing the switcheroo at the last minute? O____oThis show, I am THIS close to dropping it. If anything, it’s Hook that’s keeping me around. I like his guyliner. XDAlso, apparently the bodies come with the accent. :)) Think they considered keeping Pan’s accent when he talked to his right-hand boy (I’m sorry, whatshisname) but then discovered Jared S. Gilmore can’t do it so they just chalked it up to more ‘magic?’ lolIn all fairness, a lot happened this episode. A lot of mind-numbingly stupid moments but still, pretty eventful. I fully expected them to drag the Save Henry thing til the mid-season finale but apparently, they have other plans for then. This week also featured a LOT of the supporting cast. The guest cast’s names kept flashing for about three minutes before they moved on to the crew. XD They each only had a handful of lines and Giancarlo Esposito did not even show up on screen but he’s doing Revolution so there.Regina carried this episode IMO. I’ve always been on her side when it came to being Henry’s Mother because yes, she raised him, she changed his diapers, and for ten years, she alone took care of him. Emma and the Charmings only have biology on their side and like I’ve said before, none of them know how to be responsible parents. I mean look, Emma and Charming were fully intending to stay in Neverland and abandon Emma again and Emma was somehow kind of okay with it.Here we saw how Regina longed for something - or someone - to fill that void in her life that her father had left. And Rumple, being the sneaky bastard that he is, managed to get the son of the Savior to be Regina’s kid, which kickstarted the whole breaking-of-the-curse thing. And despite learning Henry’s genealogy, Regina still opted to keep him (after a momentary backing-out) because she had already fallen in love with the child. So yes, fully on Regina’s side with this. She was absolutely right when she explained to Emma that she had her parents and Neal (aka, 'this person’ lol) while she only had Henry. So stop trying to take him away from her, she’s just as much a mother (if not more) as Emma.What I did not fully understand (among other things) was the potion. What exactly did it do to her? She remembers the curse and her real identity. Did she only forget the 'problems,’ the sad moments in her life? And when did it wear off, if it ever did? :| And okay, I accept that Regina can cross the town line because she cast the curse but didn’t she cloak Storybrooke when Owen left? Aren’t adoption agencies supposed to vet aspiring parents? They didn’t discover that the town she was mayor-ing is… well, non-existent, I think?The answer to all these questions is MAGIC. Let’s just leave it at that. XDSo anyway, Regina saved the day by simply ripping Henry’s heart out of Pan’s chest and giving it back to Henry. Neal opened Pandora’s Box to free Rumple and they hug and forgive and shit. Just as they were about to leave Neverland, Pan once again showed up to take Henry’s heart back but Regina already magicked Henry so Pan… took Henry’s shadow instead? Whatever. The point is Rumple sucked Pan into Pandora’s Box but Pan switched bodies so now it’s Henry who’s stuck in the Box and isn’t all this hilarious? XDXDAdd to that the fact that Regina can apparently trap Pan’s Shadow and turn him into a mast, which sort of invalidates Emma, Neal, and Hook’s efforts to trap it in a coconut because MAGIC. So now they’re all (Wendy + Pan + The Lost Boys) flying back to Storybrooke where Pan will surely wreak some havoc. At least we get to see daylight again. The perpetual nighttime in Neverland was getting tiresome. As is most things with this show. :)) -- source link
