Once Upon A Time Rants & Raves: The Savior 6x01

Nothing feels better than sitting down for the first show of a new season. Once Upon A Time is back and I actually have a really good feeling about this season! We're back in Storybrooke and there are a lot of new players in town so lets jump right in! SPOILERS BELOW. 

Rave: Mr. Hyde

I love everything about him. He honestly just doesn't care and we haven't seen that in a while.  I may be a little biased since I was a fan of Sam Witwer's run on Smallville but the way he plays Hyde is going to bring a completely new dynamic to Once. 

Rave: Snow and Regina

Quickly becoming my favorite duo

The conversation that they had a the end of the episode had me hanging on every word.  It's honestly a conversation I've been waiting for them to have since Neverland.  We actually get verbal acknowledgement of their mother/daughter relationship in a positive way.  Snow credits her hope and faith to Regina and in turn the former queen of evil recognizes her new found faith.  Bonus Rave: Is it just me or does anyone else notice that Lana Parrilla is playing Regina a little differently? I'm all for it! Without the evil part of her its almost as if this Regina is a completely new character. 

Rant: Our Trusting Heroes

Why, after everything that they have been through, are our heroes so trusting?!  Snow and Charming in the woods speaking to the people from the Land of Untold Stories.  How do you know they're actually good people?  Emma speaking to Mr. Hyde.  We know he's evil! Why are you taking him at his word? STOP DOING THIS. 

Rant/Rave: Zelena in Regina's house. 

I'll hold my grudge until the very end

This honestly could've brought us so many quotable moments.  They would've been great. However, as a proud Evil Regal I absolutely refuse to forgive and forget. Rave: Parrilla and Rebecca Mader play against each other so well. I love watching scenes with them. Rant: Zelena impersonated Robin's dead wife and got pregnant just to rub it in Regina's face.  I'm still bitter about it. 

Rave: Saviors! 

Love seeing season once characters! They still exist! 

Not only is there more than one savior but apparently they're all doomed.  Why is this a rave? Cause I love when Once gives us a problem to solve. Going to the underworld to save Hook is a mission. Operation Cobra? That's problem solving! And it looks like our main problem is not only how do we save Emma but how do we prevent Emma from losing her mind. Cue Archie!!! 

Rave of the Night: BELLE IS DONE WITH RUMPLE!!!! Hopefully it sticks this time....

Rant of the Night: Literally 2.5 seconds worth of Evil Queen. 

 

First thought: Apple Martini.....its probably poison.

Geek Moment of the Week: 

Anytime Belle wears the yellow dress its a moment.  Anytime Belle is in the yellow dress and they're playing that beautiful instrumental version of Beauty and the Beast its a moment.
