Murder Most Foul- Thank you so very much for another fabulous reaction for Once Upon a Time, Dodo!! I absolutely love, love, love this episode so, so much! It's not just one of my favorite episodes within season six, but throughout all of this show! First... I absolutely love how beautifully this episode parallels, or perhaps contrasts so perfectly with season three's episode... Good Form, as we see David and Killian team up to work together, while Killian fights for David to save his life. Just under very different circumstances. In Good Form, Killian works hard to literally save David when he is dying from dreamshade. While in this episode, Killian does so more figuratively as he fights more to save David's soul, by keeping him from making a terrible mistake that Killian knows would haunt David the rest of his life if he had actually killed King George. So, so beautiful! :) And there are also a few callbacks to some more episodes from the previous seasons as well. Murder Most Foul reminds us of the events shown throughout the backstory in season one's sixth episode, titled... The Shepherd. And it's also a callback to season four's second episode, titled... White Out, when David shares the story of how his father died to Anna as far as he believed it to be back then. I absolutely love how this episode brings back a storyline that is revealed to be so much more than we ever imagined. And a quite a powerful, yet heartbreaking story that I love. I absolutely love the scene between Killian and Archie towards the beginning of this episode, as Killian comes to Archie seeking much needed advice. We know from Killian's talk with Emma outside of their shed as he's covering for David and distracting Emma, that Killian is truly afraid of losing Emma, and that nearly having to watch her die when Gideon attacks her in the previous episode... Tougher Than the Rest, really broke him. And so, I feel that Killian wants all the more to marry Emma. Perhaps more so now, than he wanted to beforehand. I believe that Killian would have eventually proposed to Emma, of course. However, her nearly dying certainly deepened his desire and need to marry the love of his life that much sooner. And sadly... David's cruelty towards him throughout this episode has only made him fear that David wants more for Emma. And that David still only sees him as nothing but a pirate. So, I love that Killian comes to see Archie, and I love Archie's advice to his friend. And Killian coming to see Archie alone shows just how much Killian truly has changed. Given that Killian and Archie don't have a great repour with one another, since Hook had kept Archie hostage for a few days back when Hook first arrived in Storybrooke with Cora. And I love that this moment between Killian and Archie now, allows for us to see that they've grown to be friends. Absolutely fabulous!! :) And now... I absolutely love, love, love everything about David's and Killian's story arc throughout this episode, which is very easily my absolute favorite storyline within this episode. And every scene and moment between two of my very favorite characters throughout this show, are my favorite scenes and moments throughout this episode! I love how this episode brings back David's fight to discover the truth about who really killed his father ever since the Evil Queen had first given him back his father's coin several episodes back in the second episode of this season... A Bitter Draught. And I love getting to know all that's happened ever since David's father had made the deal with Rumplestiltskin to save both of their sons. And I truly love, love, love Kilian's fight to try to prove to David he is worthy of Emma's love and her hand in marriage, and the pain he shows in his eyes and on his face all throughout this episode. Especially when he is asked by David to distract Emma such as he does, to help David steal the potion ingredients from her. So heartbreaking, and yet I love everything about Killian throughout this powerful and beautiful episode. I love this storyline between Killian and David, and seeing David treat Killian such as he does throughout this episode. Because for me, it makes for such a powerful storyline, and it makes the ending between them inside the mental hospital that much more impactful and emotional. Even though I also hate how David makes Killian feel so low and like he's so unworthy of Emma's love practically at every turn throughout this episode. Because Killian most certainly doesn't deserve David's coldness and cruelty towards him at all. I do definitely understand why David acts as he does, seeing as he is under a great amount of stress and he's suffering from the fear of failing to get justice for his father by discovering the truth for him just like his father pleads with him to find. David just snaps at Killian, simply because Killian is trying to stop him from going down the road he starts down, not really thinking well enough for him to be able to see how much Killian is trying to help him. And unfortunately... David snaps at him by calling him the one name he knows will hurt Killian the most... Pirate. And by constantly reminding him of the past that Killian has been fighting so hard to leave behind. Sadly, Killian just wants David to love him like a father loves a son. Or at the very least... for David to accept him and to not see him as the ruthless pirate he used to be. So heartbreaking. Most of all... I love, love, love Killian's words to David in the end, when he saves David from killing King George, and seeing him comfort David when he completely breaks down. I love hearing Killian ask David if he would truly be able to look at his father if he were to actually kill the man he believed to be responsible for his father's death. This moment between Killian and David is absolutely so beautiful and heartbreaking. I love seeing Killian offer David comfort, in a way that we've never seen between these two men before. And I love seeing such emotion from David, whom we've seen has been breaking little by little for several episodes now. It was only a matter of time before he would crash. And I absolutely love, love, love that's it's Killian who is there for him to pull him up again!! :) Also... I love the moment David thanks Killian for saving him from his terrible mistake, and then apologizes for putting his love with Emma at risk by forcing him to go against her for him. I especially love the moment Killian risks asking David for Emma's hand in marriage, only for David to tease him and then happily assure him that he has his blessing. And then... We have one final revelation in the very ending, as we tragically learn that it had really been Hook who had killed David's father way back when, when he was still the villainous Captain Hook. It's so tragic, and you can absolutely see the deep torment Killian immediately feels within his eyes and on his face when he looks down upon the book pages August gives to him seconds before, and suddenly recognizes the face of the unknown stranger to him then, whom he now remembers he had killed way back then. So tragic, but such a fabulous twist that I love very much. And because of all that's happened throughout this episode, I very much love all that is to come for Killian in these upcoming episodes!! The whole backstory with David's father and mother giving up one of their sons in order to save both of their lives upon David and James falling ill, is heartbreaking. But I do believe they made the right choice. The only possible choice they could have made. Because had they refused Rumplestiltskin's deal, then both of their children would have died. And I believe that both Ruth and the father would have felt guilt far worse than they already do from giving up one of their sons to Rumple, and turning him over to King George. As for whether or not anyone would make the same choice that David's father and mother had made when faced with losing both sons to illness, or just one to King James in their deal with Rumple... As difficult and tragic as their decision to give James up is, I honestly feel that anyone would make the very same decision. It would break me, but I think I would make the same decision too. To lose one son in such a way would be heartbreaking, yes. However, to lose both sons to illness if you were to refuse such a deal, when given the chance to save their lives... unbearable and devastating. And of course, David's parents do both deeply regret making this deal with Rumple. Finally, in regards to Regina's and Wish Robin's storyline... I really enjoy everything between them too. From Regina and Robin sharing a kiss, only for Regina to feel nothing... as sad as this moment is, to Robin seeking to kill the Sheriff of Nottingham until Regina's stops him, and to finally seeing that Robin is now up to something more nefarious than we ever thought was possible from him upon him stealing a box of magic from Regina's vault for unknown reasons. Not good, but a fantastic storyline overall. And I love the two scenes between Regina and Snow within this episode as well, as these two women share their concerns with this new version of Robin Hood coming here to Storybrooke. Scenes between Regina and Snow are always beautiful. And I love how Regina describes her kiss with Wish Robin to be like she were kissing a photograph, which is quite a brilliant way of explaining it. Because Wish Robin is only an image of the man she truly loved. Next... I also really love seeing August again, and seeing him involved with helping David learn more about what happened to his father. I also love seeing Pleasure Island that we all know from Pinocchio's fairytale, and seeing Pinocchio as a puppet, who helps David's father find James. It is fabulous seeing a new world that is Pleasure Island. A very terrifying place. And lastly, in regards to Zelena, and her moment with Regina as she becomes angry with her... I agree with you about how Robin really doesn't have any claim to the original Robin's daughter. I do understand Zelena's fear that he might try to claim her for himself and take her away, because she hasn't even met Wish Robin yet, and she doesn't really know how much of Robin is really in him. I just wish that she wouldn't have immediately come to yell at Regina again. Because it certainly doesn't help their troubles between them right now. Right now, and ever since the Underworld arc in season five... Zelena for me, is more annoying than anything else. I absolutely love Zelena overall, especially as a villainess. Because I absolutely love her in season three's Wicked Witch arc. And I love seeing Regina and Zelena as sisters when they're actually civil with one another, and they're on good terms. And there's good for her to come too... I promise. But right now... I am really not a fan of hers either. Just hang in there. Thank you again very much for another amazing reaction, Dodo!!! I am so happy that you really enjoyed this episode a lot, and that you're excited for all that's to come for both Killian and David. Two characters that are a couple of my favorite characters!!! For me... this episode shows the phenomenal story writing this show can bring us. I can't wait for you to continue on with more Once Upon a Time! :) Sincerely, Heidi

Wht***Fresh Hells, making Killian the Grand Daddy Charming's Killer?!! Plott device to make everyone remember, "HE'S A PIRATE, PEOPLE!? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT, LISTEN TO David throat proudly knock into Killian, "But A [[Pirate]] "Is just what I need..." Sure, Dad to Emma, Husband lowly Sheppard, /Princely substitute for his poor Brother... Sick child, who's Daddy, & Ruth, His Mother [Sweet as Pie, altho the Evile Queen prefers her apple's to Orange is the new black, & black is Regina's fav color, yet she looks good in Lavender, & rose Red... As Rumple would sae, WELL WHT THE FU** IT'S ROBIN HOOD, NO Gold in this episode. But his amazing replicant Rumple. You think Rumple I mean Gold could tell Hook's hidden treasure of all ruining Rebel fools parting such sweet sorrow, for poor Charming'$ Daddies demise, was at non other then the Trixter of all Trixters who OUAT himself was a dirty Pirate Captain who killed an innocent man, that wasn't his Ass** of a Father... & Become the man, he Ner ever wanted to be, or Naught to be, & fore tho Be... Wht** th F***!!¿ Sure clean up Hook in such a dastardly way, make us (the fans love his Character hate his Character, love Colin Hate Killian Love him!!!! 💖💖💖💖🛡️⚔️🛡️👩🏼‍❤️‍👨🏻As Emma does, & as everyone but unclear as to why Robin hoods demise had anything to do with poor dear Killian, yet Regina, & no surprise her Sister hate for him, but wadait, why does Zelina hate the Captain¿ She stirs the pot, but Zelina liked Robin hood, she wouldn't care to admit it, but this is my day, comes to mind, & Zelina doesn't forget, any more then any other Characters, in Issac's crule re write of them all... That world wasn't they're original realities. But he did Manifest & Manipulate them all. & Issac as much as we hate that pin head creature. We can all admit our folly in trying to make our lives better had we the opportunity to change it for the better. Perhaps avoid the usual temptations put before us, but to erase & rewrite our lives to come into a more favored one for all... The Quill wouldn't be a tempting treasure to rewrite a wrongs happening in our very world, right now. I know if I was able to, I wouldn't waste a second trying to end Climate degradations, world hunger, perhaps subvert even the evile Corporate advantage, over Mom & Pop. Save the Rain Forests anything but hurt Character development, & subjugation over the loving OUAT💔❤️‍🩹 community, & make one of the most endearing of them all, the Character who covets expectation, seen as a heroe, "You may not see it, but I do, Killian's secret shame, is nothing even we can believe is the Hook we thought we all knew, & came to forgive, & love again, & again. But just to know what he did, I've done some horrible things, he shares with Dark one Emma, as Dark Hook¿ True he is Cryptic at the moment, but years of Pirate Captain Hook, Well Father, this is what I became!!" Truth Charming David naught his Brother James, hardly knew his Father, & if Hook had shown the poor man chained up to the King's cart, topped in (gold) no naught our Rumple ref. Gold being a temptation for any thieven Pirate. Hook's Character defamation started long before we see him, in the OUAT UNIVERSE. The sad tear in a amazing Character. The Writers cruel jest upon us all. Who has bones left to rattle¿ Who was to be pitied, for his past indignations & now put fore front the secret he hoped to take to his grave in mysterious fathomless below... Hook, made heroe to only now be exposed for his true treachery, [[Villainy]] Reminding us that sweet Emma loving, care to Right thy wrongs Rumple & the Queen has done. He was a Vile Villian. Killian has only tried to make up for past wrongs & each time, he suffered thru the agony of his own losses. But he can't no matter what ever see himself as a true Heroe. "You have a mark, in the Heroes column Aye father, it's not too late to change, but he didn't think that of his own father, nore forgive him, for the things he did, to his sweet sons. "You have a mark in hero column." When Emma tries to reassure Hook/ Killian he did a good deed, Killian knows it will never for him make up for the darker deeds he did as a Pirate Captain, way before he can remember. A heroe, in the hall of infamy doesn't make up for years Centuries of blood shed, & blood lust, Job done Emma, I never Ouat💔❤️‍🩹 Didn't believe in you, but you clearly don't believe in Me, ~ " So, Don't! Just don't..." Like when Killian saw the younger version of his uglier self, with sweet Emma, & has no hard pressed feelings in giving his Asshole self a good pummeling. Because truth is he Hates Himself, he tries hard to right wrongs, & he tries successfully to change all that was, for love of Emma, he sees so much light & good within this beautiful woman, that he fights with his PTSD intent, to make it official. The ring is a big step for him. [[Long over do.]] He feels torn, now forgotten bones are rattling, even now, & he feels the man he tried so hard to forget, within himself, has re amerged, with David's ghostly Daddy to let his son know finally, that the reason he didn't return home again, Emma's Grand father, & Henry's Great Grandfather, couldn't explain, & his Spirit now was attached to Davids coin [[Charming's good luck charm]] Was his lack of vision, fore bare, the man asking for permission, for the Blessing to wed Emma, properly, Gentlemanly, this re newed forgiven by Zeus, & Charming for Wht** exactly¿ Charming only knows Killian has changed, yeah what page did you realize that David we are both, speech. So is Hook/Killian All the Characters are A cricket is an advisor to the Towne. A Dwarf named Grumpy is also Leroy, the Towne drunk, [[But who isn't ?]] Mary Margaret is Snow [[ isn't so white]] Regina the Madame Mayor, Eville Queen. Rumplestilkin' is~ ok he doesn't track my we are both theory because at times he's just mean ol Rump's & a Stikin, as we know doesn't change his Stripes or spots, shake our heads for poor sweet not so innocent Belle.

Our Darlin Captain never had it easy, & when you're own True Love~ [[ Thy Darkest One, Swan]] Brings OUAT the worst in Hook yet... All because she loved him dearly, even would go to the furthest reaches of the worlds ends for her... [[Pirate movies Dodo 🦤¿??]] Anyway... All 3 They're really fun & good, you may hate Pirates, but, yet a really good ride, might make ye like thy recompense. recommendation, for your own envoy, to watch sometime... Anyway young Killian & his older brother Liam, suffered Daddy's mis steps, & later he paid for that mistake. But he wasn't innocent, & to sell his own sons away, into the human Merchant trade, in which to save his own miserable hide. Is by far no excuse, Jaccob Jones never tried to find them before, the moment EQ.Regina lays before a Vengeful petty, dirty Pirate Hook. All too Willing to End poor Belle, but spare the Man who let him down, in the first place left to become exactly just like Daddy had, the man his Dad showed he could only aspire to. & Big Brother Liam to over shadow his little bro, as he drowned in rum soaked dreams... In Emma's & his dream home, finally able to have the family Killian only wished he could have the Charmings, being a part of that perfect dream, he can finally fit into the story, where OUAT A Vile Villain, only out for what he could right, with his blood lust, a woo hoo, from Zelina who admires carnage of others. Need her green minty popcorn, & green apple Tiny, [[Wow, Next level Darkness, Kudus, well done... Dark one, Not the Dark one anymore, is it, more¿ More like the Dark one's!!]] OUAT STANDING SUSTAINABLE BETRAYAL, ON THE DARK SWAN'S SKELETON IN HER TEARFUL KNOWLEDGE in the shed, in a dream catcher NO ONE COULD HAVE KNOW'N, BUT HER... Talk about suffering in silence... & THE MAN SHE LOVED DIED, IN CAMELOT... EVERYTHING AFTER THAT WAS A RUSE THAT EMMA TRIED TO PIAN TO SAVE THE MAN SHE LOST, THERE, BY HER OWN Mis deeds, Killian knew, he begged her not to make him go there, to set him free, maybe he would return to her¿ Maybe not¿ But at least, if he had to die, make it a noble one, let him go OUAT the a heroe, someone looked up to, someone nobler then the true fiend with a death wish, let him in memory be a good man who loves her... Nope Selfish Dark Swan couldn't allow him to leave her, he was her salvage, he was her strength, proof that a Selfish spiteful Vile Villain could be so much more, then the past that he has buried himself with doubt, & self loathing. Only to become that guy, that caustic toxic lover who only wants what he wants. A tyrant, & ner a ruler, but a man who steals from everyone & hey remind you of a certain Character we can't fathom the things he does. Yeah, Dark One extraordinare. Rumple couldn't just help the Sheppard, he is too proud for that, but the mis deeds he did, lost him his sweet son Bae, & even Belle. & so much more, because he was thee Dark One, his curse, others burden. All of the Characters have tragic circumstances befall them, makes for a better tale... But Killian is a Tragic hero, turned roughish dastardly Pirate Captain, who needs to learn to forgive himself. Other wise, go down with the doomed Crew of Hades

Melissa Amato

It is now a F**cliff, & precipice Killian is clinging too... The edge of the cutlass swords blade that stained his soul. Waiting now for the Pirate boot to fall. What can Killian do that now his darkest of buried cursed treasure is there to taunt, & haunt him¿ Just as Charming had been, by the very same spirit, a guilt that now looms, awakening, that self doubt from the depths. Danke Dodo, yeah, that actually happened. & OUAT NATION was sad.❤️‍🩹 🙍🏻‍♂️👤🛡️☠️⚔️☠️🙋🏼‍♀️🌹🌊👤☠️ That all along, Hook was the killer Pirate who ruthlessly ended Charmings poor father For no other reason then Hooks paranoia, & greed of (gold,) as seen in the Giant's humble castle, up the bean stalk, Emma & Killian's first adventure together, in the Enchanted Forest Realm Season 2 of OUAT. 🌀👩🏼‍❤️‍👨🏻🌀🩹👤¿ 💖🪩💖👩🏻‍🚀🐶🤘🏼🙍🏻‍♂️💍🌀?¿

I would have to agree, Josh Dallas’s acting in that scene outside the jail cell was phenomenal and I shed some tears 😭 I’m looking forward for more episodes!
