I thought it was a very, very solid premiere and sets up the rest of the season very nicely. Loved the humor, loved Snow and Charming back together. Loved Charming's "don't push it, Snow"--those two know each other so well (and Charming's FACE when Snow said she slept with Whale! bwah!). Loved Emma's quiet freakout, loved Red and Snow reuniting, loved the Whale/Charming staredown. Pretty much I loved it all.
The Snow and Emma in Enchanted Forest storyline is more promising than I thought it would be, because it takes place in real time. It's FASCINATING that the Enchanted Forest splinter, while remaining extant, has also been stuck for 28 years. That was a curveball I didn't expect, but it's fascinating and a great idea. Bravo, writers.
Oh, look. Regina was about to cold-bloodedly murder Henry's grandfather. Glad she loves Henry just so much...not.
I really like Rumbelle, but their stuff in this episode felt weird, it didn't flow. It felt like the writers had nothing for Rumpel to do and also wanted to manufacture some drama. If they were going to have Belle come back at the end, there needed to be a more substantial conversation there.
