Episode 6 of 23

That was a great, intense confrontation between Rumple and the Snow Queen. Elizabeth Mitchell has been a huge addition to this show, I would hope they keep her around in some form on a permanent basis.

Love the One-Queen-liners - "Captain Guyliner" lol

Is this the first time Mario Van Peebles has directed an episode of this show?

EDIT: I see he also directed Season 3 episode 16: "It's Not Easy Being Green".

I did catch his name when it flashed on screen.
