Hi guys! For the past week I have been uploading my reactions to Patreon directly since I have a certain amount of hours per month and I can upload the videos in better quality than in Dropbox because I have limited space there (and I'm actually running out :') that's why I started using Patreon) I have been told the Patreon video player lags so if it lags for you let me know and I'll upload and edit the Dropbox link here! I (in lower quality, like I've always done there)

In Dropbox, you will be able to stream only an hour of video, if the reaction is over an hour and you'd like to see the rest of it you're gonna have to download the reaction. Sorry about that.

Ruby Slippers- Thank you for another fun reaction, Sora! While I do enjoy parts of this episode, once again I have to admit that this episode is again one of my least favorite episodes within season five. I love Ruby very much, and I am so, so happy to see her return once again! More so... I am happy that she has at long last found her happy ending! Because she has suffered so much in her life and has seen so much pain and unhappiness. Especially upon the loss of the man she loved. I am happy for her. However, I must admit that I am not a fan of this love story between Red and Dorothy. For many reasons. Mostly, because I don't really care much for the actress who plays Dorothy, or how Teri Reeves plays her at all. I think she's boring, and a bit snobbish to be honest. And I absolutely love Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz!! So, to see her played such as she is here in Once Upon a Time... It really saddens me. In my opinion... Red deserves better. Plus... I am not really a fan of love stories that are developed within a single episode. Especially when the couple are established to be True Loves. If Red's and Dorothy's relationship had been developed over multiple episodes and not just within this one episode, then I think I would understand them being one another's True Loves a bit more. But for all I see... Dorothy is boring, too cold, and just too standoffish. I have other reasons for not liking them together, but I won't get into them. I know that I am very much in the minority in my opinions regarding my other feelings as to why they shouldn't be together. All I can say... Their love story just feels far too thrown together and last minute. And there is absolutely no chemistry between Red and Dorothy, or between their actresses... Meghan Ory and Teri Reeves. Next... While it is tragic that Auntie Em dies at Hades' hands in the way such as she does, and it is a great idea to have Hades kill someone off using water from the River of Lost Souls in order to make everyone too afraid to come to the heroes for help or to help them, I hate that Hades kills Auntie Em. But more so, I hate that her character and story are reduced to a storyline so small and weak. Her actress is also very weak and terrible too, in my opinion. And I really hate that it's spoken that the rest of Dorothy's family aside from Auntie Em, had tried to have Dorothy committed into an asylum because she refused to believe that her time in Oz when she was a little girl had been nothing but a dream. Why do I hate this? One... Because once again, I love each of Dorothy's family members in The Wizard of Oz. Her Uncle Henry, as well as Hunk, Zeke, and Hickory. And to hear that they've been written as cold and cruel, is very wrong. As for the secondary storyline between Belle, Rumple, and Zelena throughout this episode... You know how I feel about Belle and Rumple this season, and since season four. I am not a big fan of their overall love story, especially this season. And once again to be honest... I absolutely hate that Belle willingly puts herself under a sleeping curse in order to try to protect herself and her baby from Hades, as well as to spite Rumple. Because not only does she risk her own life, but she also risks the life of her unborn child, not truly knowing whether or not a kiss from her father would wake her. And while her father may love his daughter in his own twisted kind of way, I don't believe his love for her is true either. And I think her act of putting herself under a sleeping curse is quite foolish and wrong. I know that Snow had once risked her life and her baby's life in a similar way shown back in season three's episode, titled... A Curious Thing, when she asked Regina to rip out her heart to bring Charming back from the dead, and that it was risky for her to do because she too was risking the life of her unborn child when she had Regina rip out her heart and split it in two so she could save Charming, and yet I loved this part of their love story. Because I had absolute faith that both Snow and Charming would live, and not because we see them both alive and well in the present storyline. I believe in Snow and Charming wholeheartedly. Because they are True Loves. Whereas Belle and Rumple aren't any longer, nor are Belle and her father. And I hate this story idea for Belle to risk her life and her child's life such as she does. If Belle's and Rumple's love were true... If I could have faith in their love... If I could have faith that her plan to have her father, or Rumple wake her would work... Then I might understand and possibly like this scene a little more. But I don't feel this way about Belle and Rumple. It's also annoying. Emilie de Ravin was actually pregnant at the time of filming this Underworld arc in season five. So, the creators and writers needed to come up with a way to write Belle out of the overall story for awhile, while Emilie de Ravin was on maternity leave and having her baby. I just really wish that they had simply had Belle go home with Red and Snow too. Because this storyline for Belle is so stupid and just bad writing. Again... In my opinion. And while I do appreciate the moment shared between Belle and Zelena, because I really like the bond they develop as mothers... I hate that Zelena's solution she encourages Belle to take is that of a sleeping curse, using the very tool she had used to put Dorothy to sleep. I just don't like the overall idea. I feel like they could have come up with a different solution that would have been better for both Belle and her child. And given that Zelena herself is a mother too, I am actually quite surprised that she would even suggest a sleeping curse that will not only affect Belle, but also Belle's baby too. It just doesn't seem right. And now... While it's wonderful that Red has found happiness at last, and the moment towards the end of this episode where she shares True Love's Kiss in front of all of Oz is touching, overall... This storyline as a whole for me is just so so. Because of my opinions of the love story throughout this episode, and because the whole debacle of a storyline that's going on between Belle and Rumple, I don't really care all that much for a majority of this episode's major storylines. However, one moment within Ruby's storyline that I really do love, is the moment shared between Red and Snow, when Snow encourages Red to find her love and to fight for it. I just love their friendship so much! I love seeing Snow support Red, even though I might not like what it leads to. It's really quite sweet. And it's wonderful to see them in a scene together again. Next... While I am not really a big fan of Zelena's and Hades' love story either, I do appreciate that we can see real changes in Zelena. Even though she is confused by her love for Hades, and she is still unsure if she can trust him at all, I completely understand her indecision to accept him and I appreciate being able to see her indecision. And as much as I love Zelena as a villainess, especially back in season three's Wicked Witch arc, I really do love seeing this softer side of her as well. And I love that she willingly gives up the silver slippers to Regina so that Red can return to Oz to try to save Dorothy. Unfortunately, Zelena comes to Hades in the end and finally decides to take a chance with him because he is doing so much for her, even if what he is doing is evil, or wicked. I don't like that he is still trying to encourage her wicked side, but he is evil himself. So, it makes sense. I just love seeing this soft side of Zelena too. And while I also enjoy seeing Mulan again too, I feel like her part in this episode doesn't give us any kind of closure or happy ending for her. Her role throughout the backstory is small and unfair to her character. I understand why Mulan is brought back for this episode, given that it takes place shortly after she and Red leave from DunBroch together shown back in this season's episode, titled... The Bear King. I just wish more was done with her. That's all. As for my favorite scenes and moments within this episode... First... I absolutely love the moment between Killian and David, when Killian helps David find the strength and courage to return home to Storybrooke without Snow!! And I especially love the moment when Killian is shaken and slightly hurt upon hearing David rant about how none of them should have come there to the Underworld to risk their lives, after which David immediately attempts to apologize to him upon seeing Killian feel hurt by his words, until Killian then tells his friend that he never wished for any of them to risk their lives for him. And I love the banter between them when Killian then teases David. It's cute. I always love moments and scenes like this between Killian and David. Because as much as I love the friendship between Snow and Red, I absolutely love the friendship between Killian and David even more!! And second... I absolutely love the scene between our heroes in the cemetery, when Snow and Charming are saying goodbye to one another, as Snow believes that David is the one that is returning home to Storybrooke so he can be with their son, only to learn that David has taken her place now that his name has been etched into the tombstone where Snow's name was until Killian crossed it off. I love that we learn that Killian is able to cross off Snow's name to replace it with David's because we are reminded that while Killian had been Hades' prisoner, the God had enchanted his hand to be able to carve his friends' names into the tombstones as punishment for defying him, which has allowed for Killian to be able to help Snow and David now. And it's beautiful! As is the moment this True Love couple say their goodbyes and share a kiss that is just so absolutely beautiful!! We also hear Snow's and Charming's love theme being played in the background too, which is so perfect and beautiful!! I love it!! The love Snow and Charming share is truly exquisite! And it's beautiful to be reminded that their actors are actually together in real life upon seeing how real their love for one another truly is. Incredible!! Plus... I also love seeing Emma pull Killian close in appreciation as well upon recognizing the gift he has given to her parents. Snow is certainly the right choice to return home to be with their son, because she does regret the lost time with her daughter. Regarding why Henry stays in the Underworld... Personally, I don't really understand why he ever came with everyone in the first place, aside from him wanting to help his mom save Killian. And because he cares about Killian very much too. But I think that the reason why no one even suggested that Henry return home with Red and Snow, is because he is still with those in the Underworld to offer those still trapped hope, upon him writing all that happens at home. Henry is able to write that Snow made it home safely and is now with baby Neal again, and he was able to write about Red saving Dorothy too. And this gives David, Emma, Killian, and everyone hope that they can defeat Hades. He's there to help those still trapped, as much as everyone may wish for him to go home too. Even if their wishes are not written in the story to be voiced. And regarding why Killian doesn't carve Rumple's name or Zelena's names in place of Emma's, Snow's, or Regina's... A part of it I'm sure is certainly because doing so would be wrong and he's a good man. Most certainly. But I also think that it's because Rumple and Zelena weren't originally among the choices Killian was given to make when Hades enchanted his hand to carve the names of the heroes on the tombstones in the first place. Maybe also because both Rumple and Zelena are not heroes trying to offer hope to the inhabitants of the Underworld, and therefore he can't carve their names like he can everyone else. And lastly... I love the Blind Witch!! I've mentioned this before, but I love that we are getting to know her more and more throughout this arc. She's just such a fantastic character!! As is Cruella De Vil too, of course!! :) Overall... This episode is good and enjoyable. The moments and scenes that I love make me still enjoy the episode for the most part. I also appreciate that we're given an ending to Red's story arc within Once Upon a Time. It is sad that her story arc that was originally written for her had to be scrapped and then later rewritten due to Meghan Ory's departure from this show within the second half of season two. And while I am not so much a fan of how her story has ended, I still appreciate that the creators and writers for Once Upon a Time were able to write some closure for Red. Thank you once again for your reaction, Sora! :) Sincerely, Heidi
