Going back in time is nothing that is new to ONCE UPON A TIME. But this flashback was different. Because it showed us how it all began – in Storybrooke.

This is gonna be a very short review. There’s to really much to write about it – it was simple yet entertaining, but mythology-wise didn’t happen anything.

For me this episode didn’t get a good start at all. And I’m not talking about the ep’s beginning itself; I’m talking about what happened before it. As mentioned countless times, I like spoilers. I read, watch, whatever them. And even though I try to not get every spoiler of ONCE, there’s still a lot I know beforehand. Now, spoilers are fine because usually they are made clever enough to only tease, often make waiting worse, and especially still keep the tension.
ABC, however, doesn’t seem to be able to do that. Before 2×16, they spoilt and teased A LOT. Including giving away the big “secret” of who’s gonna die. And yes, I think that was a secret because it could have worked; it could have left people on edge. But even for those who don’t read spoilers or don’t look at the countless set pictures from upcoming episodes’ shootings there wasn’t much of a secret left when ABC posted a picture with Rumple and Cora that said “One will die”. This was beyond stupid. Everyone knows that Rumple isn’t going to die; not permanently though, because let’s face it, he’s the most important character of this show, besides Emma maybe. Without Rumple OUAT wouldn’t work, period.

I was a bit sad, if not to say disappointed with that episode – I actually expected something a bit more… spooky. Something that would have made use of that beautiful mansion. Well. Can’t have it all, and at least there were a few great moments on the J/L side 🙂

In the wake of the Paleyfest and some great revelations, “The Queen Is Dead” was almost unspectacular in comparison. For about the first 32 minutes.
