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.

Strange Case- Thank you once again for another fantastic reaction for a fantastic episode, Sora!! I really enjoy this episode, even more than I expected I would. Not that I expected to not like it, because I really do love the original story of Jekyll and Hyde. But until this episode, Jekyll and Hyde have only been just okay characters within this show. I suspected ahead of time that in order to defeat Hyde, Jekyll would have to die too. However, I feel that the twist between these two characters is really great! I didn't really realize that Dr. Jekyll would turn out to be the greater villain, given that Hyde has been one of the main villains of this season so far. In spite of Jekyll being a dark character within the classic novel and in other shows and movies created from the novel too. And their deaths within this episode are really fantastic!!! To answer a few questions you may have... First... Dr. Jekyll's first name in the original story... The Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde, is indeed Henry. So, it's good that this show's creators kept his name here in Once Upon a Time the same, as it should be. It may be strange that there are now three Henrys in this show, but it makes sense. Because the creators didn't want to change his first name. It wasn't a necessary detail they felt needed changing. Second... Robert Carlyle needed to cut his hair for another role he took on at the same time he was filming this season of Once Upon a Time. So, he and the writers chose to write a reason for Rumple to want to cut his long hair off, and I love that it's because Rumple is struggling so much with his guilt and the mistakes he's made over the years with Belle and his sons, that he can no longer look at himself in the mirror with the same long hair that he has worn for so long now. Ever since we were first introduced to him back in season one's Pilot episode. Brilliant! Third... Dr. Jekyll's and Mr. Hyde's world they live in is not actually the London here in our world... in the Land Without Magic. It is not the same place or time period where Wendy, John, and Michael within the Peter Pan story are from. If you remember back to season one's episode, titled... Hat Trick, Jefferson scolds Emma for her audacity to believe that our world is the only world in existence, and that there are many realms out there. Some that have magic, some that don't have magic, and some that need magic. And in season four's episode, titled... Sympathy For the De Vil, Isaac... the former Author before Henry, talks to Cruella about how she is from just one of the many realms of story. That her world exits in a completely separate realm split off from the Enchanted Forest. A realm known as 1920s England. According to Once Upon a Time wiki... Jekyll and Hyde are from another separate realm simply known as Victorian England. Both realms being without magic. Fourth... The reason for the small side story with Snow teaching her students such as she does, isn't necessary, but it's meant to show us that Snow has learned from Jasmine, that she needs to teach her students differently from how she always taught them back when she was cursed in season one. Because their world has changed so much since their time trapped under the curse, and because everyone learns lessons differently. And her lesson with shooting an arrow, wasn't a way for her to teach her kids how to solve the math problem seen earlier in the episode, but simply a new kind of way to teach them a different lesson. This side storyline is simply to show us Snow getting back into teaching, and finding happiness in doing so. Not a necessity to the overall story arc within this episode, but it's a cute and happy storyline to help pull us away from the heaviness of the true story arc. And fifth... I do not believe that the creators and writers planned to have Hyde and Jekyll killed off so soon. I believe they wanted and expected them to last longer. However, I believe that they changed their plans to keep them on longer, because the fans of this show weren't really a big fan of either character. And since they had failed to write major villains, that we as the fans cared much for in season five... Arthur and Hades, they most likely felt that they would listen more to us and end Hyde's and Jekyll's story arc sooner than they wanted to. Personally... I actually liked Hyde a lot, as well as Jekyll too. I especially love the actor who plays Hyde... Sam Witwer, and how both actors played these roles. So, I am sad that once again... two villains I actually do like, despite most other fans of this show hating them, were killed off too early. I hope these answers for you, answers your questions you may have, Sora. :) And now... I absolutely love, love, love that it is Killian who defeats Jekyll, and therefore Hyde too, in order to protect Belle! And both Jekyll and Hyde get their just desserts! :) And now Rumple should most certainly be indebted to Killian for saving his wife and unborn son. However, we both know that he won't ever do anything for Killian out of gratitude. Also... It's too bad that the seashell Killian gives to Belle breaks. Hopefully, Emma or Regina can repair it so that Belle can keep connected to Killian for when he isn't around. Side note... I am a little disappointed that there isn't a scene or even a brief moment between either Killian and Emma, or Killian and Belle, showing these women check to make sure he is alright. He has after all just killed two men, and while you don't really see his face afterwards, in the background of the next scene just after Hyde dies while Gold and Regina are talking, you very loosely see Killian appear upset by this turn of events. I'm sure he has no qualms about killing Jekyll and Hyde after all they've done. Yet as the good man Killian is, he would feel badly for having to take a life and being unable to save Jekyll, who even though he had given into his own darkness, I do believe Jekyll himself was trying to become a better man. At least until he killed Mary out of anger within his past, and now again until he began to threaten Belle. Plus... Killian knows that Emma, Regina, and the Charmings needed Jekyll's help. Emma has sought out Hyde's help with what Killian knows is troubling her, even though he doesn't know what is troubling her because she refuses to confide in him. And Regina has needed Jekyll's help with the serum that she hoped to use on the Evil Queen so she could defeat her. Now more so than ever, given that she now knows the only other way without the serum is to kill herself. Next... I actually foresaw Mary's death coming long before she was killed, the first time I watched this episode when it first aired. And yet I really like the revelation that it's actually Jekyll who kills her by pushing her out the window upon learning that she and Hyde have fallen n love. I actually really feel a bit badly for Hyde in this moment and throughout the backstory within this episode just as you feel bad for him too. Hyde had been the one who really loved Mary. Not Jekyll. It is like Rumple and Mary said... Jekyll was all brain, with no heart. And he didn't make enough of an effort to show his love or passion, whereas Hyde did. So, in spite of their romance being so briefly seen and established, I understand Mary and Hyde falling in love with one another. And I really love this twist in the story. Now, as for Regina's storyline and how the show has revealed that in order for the Evil Queen to be killed, Regina has to die as well... I absolutely love this twist and revelation! I sort of saw this reveal coming as well, and yet it still came unexpected for me. And I love seeing Killian appear to save Belle, and that in doing so, he is forced to kill Jekyll, and therefore winds up killing Hyde as well. I really love that upon him doing so... we find out that the only way for the heroes to kill the Evil Queen, is for Regina to die also. So not good, but I love this twist! As for Gold's storyline this episode... He is such a jerk throughout this episode! Towards Belle, Regina, and Jekyll before he learns he has gone after Belle to get revenge on him for Mary's death and bringing out Hyde. It is really rotten of him to trap Belle on the Jolly Roger, even if it was to try to keep her safe. But it only puts her in worse danger than before. Thank goodness for Killian! Also... I actually really do like his new short hairstyle, even though I still like his original style better. I didn't really like this new haircut on him the first time I watched this episode. And yet it's grown on me the more I've watched this season over the years. The short cut really does look good on him. And I agree with you, that in a weird way, it does make Gold appear more evil. I'm glad we'll continue to have Rumpelstiltskin with his longer hair in the backstory scenes at least. Anyways... Gold really should have known that Hyde was smart, and wouldn't have left the extra serum in Jekyll's hands. Talk about gullible. Killian really didn't just save Belle, but Gold too. So, technically Rumple owes Killian double. And then... I really enjoy the school scenes with Snow, Henry, and Jasmine. I especially like the first scene when Violet appears and kisses Henry. They're cute together. Even if Henry and Violet aren't in this episode for more than a few minutes. And now... We've been introduced to Princess Jasmine too! Yay!! I really love Jasmine, who is actually my favorite Disney Princess within the classic animated Disney movies. And I absolutely love the actress chosen to play her... Karen David. She's fantastic!! Both as Jasmine, and in many other roles in shows and movies too. I really love the mysterious final scene between Jasmine and the Oracle as well, and I love that they're now working together to try to find Aladdin, who is possibly in Storybrooke somewhere. Marvelous!! Oh... And I personally feel that the actress playing the Oracle is a bit strange. She doesn't quite sit well with me either. But I don't think she's terrible. Just strange. I don't by any means, hate her in the same way that I've always hated the actor who plays the Sheriff of Nottingham. Boy, do I hate him! And I love the animated Disney movie, Aladdin, so I am absolutely happy that Aladdin and Jasmine, as well as Jafar, have been brought into Once Upon a Time at last! Like I've mentioned above... I really wish that there would have been at least one scene between Killian and Emma within this episode. It is wonderful to have the fatherly concern from Charming in the beginning over Hook moving in with his daughter, although I thought he was past all that. His distrust in Killian and hatred of pirates, I mean. Not to mention that David also calls him, "that pirate", which is a bit hurtful I thought. Nonetheless... I love this breakfast scene between Emma, David, Snow, and Henry. I love seeing them act as a family, and seeing Snow and Charming act as parents to Emma, even though they are the same age. So sweet! :) And lastly... The first scene between Killian and Belle shows us that Killian is ready with his only trunk to move in with Emma, which I love. And I love the tiny detail that Killian doesn't have much to move at all. I knew that he wouldn't have much to move. Killian may have pillaged and plundered in his days as a pirate, but the Jolly Roger has always been his only real treasured possession. So, I really appreciate this little detail shown to us regarding the things he values. Thank you very much once again for a fantastic reaction, Sora! I am excited for many more of your reactions for Once Upon a Time from you!! Until next time, my dear friend... Sincerely, Heidi
