I guess I'm going to bring the clueless in these threads once more. Who is the sheriff and what the story with the wolf?

Enjoyed tonight's episode.

Too bad the catfight was cut short.

Did a much better job explaining who The Hunstman was this week then Jiminy Cricket a few weeks back.

Maybe my favorite on of the season thus far.

Probably my favorite episode so far. I thought Graham was the weakest character before tonight, but I really enjoyed his story.

Loved the catfight; it's been some time in coming. I like that they didn't slap and pull hair, but just slugged each other.

So, now we have confirmation that Regina knows she's the evil queen.

Was Mr. Gold the wolf? He showed up in the forest right before the wolf was there.

It was a nice tease and a heartbreaking (literally!) moment when the huntsman remembered who he really was. Finally! Someone in Storybrooke has finally remembered their true identity! And then he immediately dies.

Sheriff is the Huntsman, He was raised by wolves.

Does anyone know people who garden in a suit, with an apron and a shovel ... in the middle of the forest?

If you were the sheriff, wouldn't you be remotely curious what he was planting/burying?

Is this holding up well in the ratings? If it's hanging around its earlier numbers around now, we might see this have a long run.

Of course, I thought Heroes would have a great, long run after its first season.

They have dropped a little because of the Holidays. I think things will pick up in the New Year.

That was the first thing that struck me about that scene. It was so wildly out of place and the sheriff acted like nothing was unusual.

This episode was the lowest rated of the series at a 2.9 rating share, but that number is still fantastic for ABC and its there second highest rated drama at this moment. :-)

I disagree on that one. The Cricket origin was extremely detailed in how and why he became a cricketing why he was friends with Gapetto.

This may have been in earlier episodes and mentioned before, but I just noticed it for the first time in this episode (and don't often read these threads)... the evil queens house # was 108. LOST homage, I assume?

There was a Lost reference a couple of weeks ago, which apparently noone in this forum noticed.
