Holy crap! We've only been through half of the season? I feel like the season finale should already be around the corner.

Yeah, it does seem like there's been a lot of story for only eleven episodes.

Very interesting episode. Did not expect the backstory of Sidney to be a Genie. I did enjoy how it was a tale of betrayal and murder instigated by the Evil Queen.
at the Genie's wish to be with her forever and he ended up being the talking mirror. Was anyone a little annoyed by the scene with Emma and Sidney tailing Regina into the forest? Lone road, 2 cars and one being a Sheriff's car. Talk about blatantly obvious tail. I know Sidney was playing Emma all along, but if that was a real tail, there is no way Regina would not have noticed it.

I feel this type of story really should be designed for one full season, not every story needs to go on for season after season. If eleven episodes in feels like it is coming close to an end then it may mean it needs to do that. I am enjoying it. Just not sure what they would do with a season two, three etc...
Thought the same thing, way too obvious.

Yeah, Emma is a pisspoor sheriff. I get she was a bounty hunter by trade but how did she ever catch anyone if she's that blatantly obvious when tailing someone?
Did Henry always keep the book under lock and key? That bit with the writer seemed awkward to me (although the reveal wasn't remotely surprising).

I like the commercial for next episode.
Rumplestilskin is The Beast?
That's definitely a new twist on the story.

My PVR cut off the last minute or so (just as they meet at the diner). Can someone tell me what they said? And WhyTF do ABC's shows always overrun their effing time slots?

The thing that bothered me was Emma has stated that she can tell if somebody's lying, why couldn't she tell the he was lying the whole time? It's not like he changed his mind and went back to Regina's side. He was playing her the whole time.
Dont get it.

She doesn't even know how to properly tail someone. I think she has no idea how to tell someone is lying either.

I didn't really like Richard Schiff as the King, but otherwise another solid ep. I liked the backstory of the man in the mirror. Lana Parrilla looks amazing on this show.
This episode scored a 3.4 in the ratings.

Anyway, Sidney basically just tells Emma he has her back and they toast their partnership. The next scene is Sidney sitting with Regina discussing his acting job, his idea to cut the brakes, he'll always be hers, little leg squeeze to keep him thinking she is "interested" in him, and him looking completely under her control. I think that was about it.
