You just have to love Rupert Grint.
Quick thoughts on Once Upon A Time 1x12
Skin Deep
“Game of Thorns” on the flower van - funny!
Chip was in this episode and quite an important part he had as well. I liked that detail even if it wasn’t actually Chip.
Regina fans: Can you please tell me how to not think of Regina/The Evil Queen as pure evil? I didn’t get it after the first episode and I certainly can’t now. I’m starting to lose all respect for those claiming there are excuses and that she is a good person as well. Murderer, rapist, and she just can’t deal with anyone at all being happy, everyone has to be miserable. She is evil, accept and move on.
I’m happy that Mary Margaret broke it off with David (she did, didn’t she? or?). They are my OTP and I want them to be together. But not like this, the way they do it is wrong. David needs to make up his mind and then stand for his decision.
The Evil Queen mentioned a mermaid. Is this becoming reality? Well, not the scuba part, that’s for next episode. But the second part.
And that ending, with Regina forcing Rumplestiltskin to admit that he remembers everything… I can’t wait to see what that leads to! The fairytale world is slowly slipping into the “real” world, piece by piece.
But what about Belle being locked up? Is it only to keep the truth about her being alive from Rumplestiltskin, or can there be people in town who remembers their past and which Regina locks up in asylums (cause it sure looked like an asylum to me). That would explain why she kept such a close eye on David and didn’t notify Katherine about him until she knew that he didn’t remember anything. Or am I taking this to far now?
My only problem with this episode is the fact that I can’t accept Emilie de Ravin as Belle. I have to think of her as a completely separate character, sharing nothing but the name. It’s probably because of Roswell, where Emilie de Ravin plays an alien bitch who messed around with my first ever OTP (only I didn’t call it that back then, I had never even heard of OTP’s). But I was so obsessed with that tv show, and since then I haven’t been able to like any character played by Emilie de Ravin. She simply did her job too well. I see her in a movie or tv show and my mind automatically thinks “fake alien bitch”. I am of course aware that this is absurd and that she is a very sweet person who can also play nice roles, it’s just a bug in my brain I can’t seem to shake.
Also, they completely left out the part about her love for books, the thing that makes Belle my favourite Disney princess. I know this isn’t those stories, but still. I was looking forward to seeing Belle on OUaT and it didn’t really turn out so great for me. (Cause it’s all about me.)
That’s about what I can register and remember at this time of night. What were your thoughts on tonight’s episode?
R.I.P. Whitney Houston
It is sad when celebrities dies, because it is sad when anyone dies. But I don’t cry when I hear about it because I didn’t really know them, even if I admired them. This is the first time I’ve actually cried. Whitney Houston has just been that one amazing singer who I’ve always admired and who I always wished I could be. Other songs and other artists are more or less temporary on my playlists, but I have never heard a Whitney Houston song which I’ve grown bored of, no matter how many times I’ve heard it (or sung it). Every time I listen to one of her songs, it is amazing.
Everyone has that one dream that you can never let go of, the one that stays with you from childhood and just never leaves the back of your mind, even if you tell yourself you’ve given up on it. She was the inspiration to my one dream.
And Bodyguard was the first movie I was allowed to stay up late to watch, I had to pretend to sleep until my younger sister had fallen asleep. It sounds like such a small thing, but to me it was huge. Whitney has just been “with me” for as long as I can remember, and despite the sad ending to her story, it was a shock - I was somehow always waiting for her huge comeback.
No matter what happened, she was great. And wherever she is, I hope she has peace.
l’ll let you in on a little secret. There’s a whole world out there waiting for you, great cities and art and music…genuine beauty. And you can have all of it.
No no no, Klaus is all mean and stuff and Caroline is all good and stuff, and why do you make it so easy to ship Klaroline? And I like Forwood, but now suddenly I want Tyler to stay away, and I shouldn’t and …. aaaah *sigh*
