Honestly I'm really happy with this season. I love Regina and Zelena's relationship and how they are growing together as sisters. Gideon and Rumple's storylines are great. Not to mention I'm curious about Hook and Emma's wedding. I have a feeling the Black Fairy will ruin it but I just want Hook and Emma to have a good wedding and just be happy...even if it's for one episode.

Pancakes are soo the new Tacos lol but yes I loved that scene for so many reasons. the cute domesticity of it all, and how happy they were despite everything thats going on in the outside of their house in Storybrooke. and yes the scene was super hot but hey we've needed this scene for awhile now lol and I agree with what Jen and Colin have said where they're the representation of a real relationship, not everything is easy for them, they've had to work to make their relationship work and despite the ups and the downs they keep coming out stronger for it. and thats why this scene was so beautiful.

loved Snow's interruption that was hilarious cause she clearly realized what she walked in in and was all "maybe i should come back after you've pancakes" lol and of course Killian's immediate "Yes" when she asked if she interrupted something lol poor Killian he just wanted alone time with his fiance and mommy in law totally ruined his moment lol

and yes loved Snow's enthusiasm the whole 'i might have started after the first curse' bit lol so clearly shes been planning this for a long time. haha David and Snow were pure gold lol love them bickering and the whole "Whale-gate" as Im calling it happened lol and everyone's reactions to it lol I was so for a Jolly Roger wedding too lol but Henry did have a point, although logically the next place that's close to the 'sea' and 'ocean' would be the beach so they should have considered that lol

one of the best lines was Snow's "if this is about Hook, that ship has sailed and there's a pirate on it, deal with it' lol that line was seriously my favorite it made me crack up. but yea I got where both of them were coming from Snow wanting to give everyone hope while saying "you dont know what tomorrow brings so why hold off on something that will make you happy" to David wanting Emma's day to be special and not interrupted like theirs was. but ultimately it was Emma and Killian's decision. but obviously due to spoilers we know somethings gonna change in the next episode cause the episode after that is the musical wedding episode.

I loved this Zelena centric episode. loved the flash backs, and yea I do see where her and Emma have somewhat similar backgrounds and ways of coping with their situations growing up. the part that kind of annoyed me about Regina in this episode is her treatment of Zelena. Zelena hit the nail on the head when she said that Regina was so caught up in her grief of losing Robin, that she forgot what Zelena sacrificed, that she killed her true love to safe her, then decided to blame Zelena cause it was the easiest solution for her. and Im sorry but Zelena went after the Black Fairy because her child was threatened, Regina should have sympathized since she would have done the same thing if it was Henry being threatened. and her being dismissive of Zelena didnt help either

THe thing that made me love Zelena so much as that while she didnt give up her magic to save Stanum, she gave it up to fix the mistake she made for people who only tolerate her because she's Regina's sister. She gave it up to save everyone essentially and thats what me me so proud of her. altho it shouldnt have had to take that sacrifice for Regina to forgive her and mend things. but I liked that in that moment, she gained so much respect from Emma, who said she'd protect baby Robin with her life for her. Zelena finally earned her spot at the heroes table even tho it cost her what she felt made her special.
