damkiannaUgh ugh ugh. Not gone, just preoccupied. :P But not preoccupied enough to have not watched OUaT!
YEEEEEEEES this was everything I had hoped based on the previews! I mean, uh, it was sort of horrible, too; at the same moment that I wonder whether there is a Storybrooke!Peter who is still alive, I am glad that the Storybrooke half of Ruby's ep was about her relationship with her grandmother and her feelings about her life, and not about a dude. But there were only a couple lines of dialogue that made me shrivel a little inside! And I totally called the grandmother, and I love that Red is a werewolf, even though, um, tragedy. And somewhere between this episode and Snow's wedding, Snow and Red live together in the forest being awesome! How much do I love my ladies going out to hunt giant wolves together and being werewolves and shacking up? SO MUCH.
Quibbles remaining: is it just me or did werewolf = menstruation? It started when she was thirteen! Grandma was a werewolf but isn't anymore (because old)! The color red has strong associations somehow! Also, given that Red had been wearing her cloak as requested up until that point, and had been kept indoors with Grandma and locked doors and stuff, she wasn't the wolf who left tracks up to her windowsill - and neither was Peter, obvs. Do we know who it was? (Her mother was a werewolf, too, right - could it have been her, or did they say she was dead?) Also, I think the dialogue near the end could have used a little more ... clarity, or something. I am totally behind the idea that Ruby's longing for adventure was mostly a cover for her insecurities, and that staying with her grandmother was a totally valid choice; but I think you need to handle that carefully if you don't want it to come off as "ladies are better off staying home and not solving crime", and I'm not sure they pulled that off completely.
This week's was not quite as much of a party in my heart as last week's! But I still enjoyed it way way more than the two eps that came before last week's. I am bummed that Katherine appears dead, but I'm hoping that's magic or a ruse or something, because it seemed like maybe she was going to have her own thing going on, given her quest to rescue Frederick in Fairytaleworld! So I'm hoping that's a sign that she's not gone for good. The dialogue didn't hurt me too much, which is amazing considering how much talking about true love had to happen, and once again I prefer James to David even though they are supposedly the same person. :/ And Mary Margaret! Trust in Emma! D: Also: reeeeeeally hoping that Rumpelstiltskin's parting line was not a cryptic ep-closer but an actual clue that we are inching closer to a little more world-saving. I do not begrudge this show an Alice in Wonderland episode, but it seems like a bit of a departure from the main plot, and I would love a little more Emma time.
I also have Fairly Legal to catch up on, and I watched part of In Plain Sight but I am soooooo behind on that show that I cannot talk about anything in context. So all I have to say about that is MARY, YOU ARE SO GRUMPY AND AMAZING.
And, oh, yeah, KORRA IS COMING IN APRIL YESSSSSSSS. I almost am not sure I'll be able to watch it while it's airing; I only got to A:tLA after it was all over and I had been thoroughly spoiled, no hiatuses or anything. This is going to be SO STRESSFUL. (But I think we actually get Nickelodeon now, which we definitely did not before this year.)
The weather here is disgusting. It is fifty-seven degrees, in March, and that is a DROP from the revolting heights of yesterday. Ugh. March, look, it's okay to be yourself. You don't have to pretend to be June.
