geebsTV commentary:
Walking Dead- Hmm, I wonder where they're going with that. So Rick kicked Carol out? Since her character is nothing like her comic book self, its all new ground to me. I dunno, I'm still skeptical that she killed Karen and the other guy, but the show surely wants us to believe it was her. Like I said, something doesn't smell right, that the events they've been through and the aspects of her personality we've seen prior to this just don't seem like the kinda thing to make her do such a thing. But maybe its just bad characterization and she did just flip out all of a sudden.
Like with her talking to Lizzie in the beginning, and Rick looking all pensive and re-looking at the site of the murder, and examining the missing knife in the knife bag, I was thinking there'd be hints in the conversation that Carol and Lizzie had that it was the latter, and that the purpose of this road trip was so Rick could break her confession and get the truth. I mean, the conversation did seem to indicate the girl isn't right in the head. But Rick seems to really think it was Carol, so I suppose it is. But who knows, maybe they're playing the long game, and Carol is really committing, and that's why she wanted to Rick to give the girls to her, because she knows one is a killer. And Carol doesn't want to tell the truth, even if it results in her getting kicked out, because she's scared what they'll do to Lizzie.
But owel, poor hippies. I was kinda surprised the one girl just got eaten without nary a peep. No screams of death or ineffectual gunshots? And ooh, now Daryl, Michonne and Tyrese know the truth about Bob. He reveals the truth to Daryl about putting down the bottle, leading to the Walkers falling through the roof and Zach dying. Daryl is all, "Naw, it was just bad luck, its not your fault!" But then, as they're leaving the hospital, Bob trips and almost drops a bag, and you think he's worried about the medicine, but nope, he's clutching it big time because he found a bottle of liquor and hid in there. So when Daryl sees this, he's pissed. Particularly when Bob was ready to draw on him for the bottle.
Which geez, between Daryl, Michonne, and Tyrese, if he was crazy enough to fire, he'd be as good as dead. Oh, and I was wondering where I'd heard that song they played at the end, but it sounded familiar because they used it in the trailer from this year's Comic Con.
OUAT- Hey, its Ariel! So back in FTL, apparently Ariel saved Snow's life once, and Snow helped her try and get Prince Eric. But, she was scared that Eric wouldn't accept her if she were a mermaid, so she falls for a trick by Regina, who pretends to be Ursula, goddess of the sea. Regina gives her a bracelet which will give someone else her fins in exchange for their legs (not exactly their legs, like it were some freakish switcheroo, she gets legs, the other person gets fins), so she uses it on Snow thinking, she gets legs, and Snow can swim far away and be safe from Regina.
To her credit, even though Snow did not want that at all, when Regina shows up to capture the now fish out of water Snow, Snow tells Ariel to escape and live a happy life with Eric. She doesn't, obviously, choosing to save Snow instead. As punishment, Regina takes her voice so she can't call out to Eric before he leaves on his exploration trip! It was kinda lame that Regina was Ursula, like not every bad guy has to be her or Rumpel- at least she was just impersonating Ursula, and there's a real one out there.
Which is interesting- Ursula shows up and threatens Regina to not dare impersonate her again. And the cgi creature is voice by Yvette Nicole Brown. Who as we saw in the special fake talk show thing at Comic Con (or on the 2nd season DVDs?), she's Goldilocks. And what color is Ursula in this ep? Gold! So is that just a weird coincidence, or intentional? Like the Goldilocks thing is a big fake out, and she's really Ursula in disguise? I say interesting because Regina leaves the gang when they decide to "waste time" finding Neal (more on that later), finds Rumpel, saves him from Belle (which was apparently Pan's shadow in disguise this whole time) and uses the Conch to summon Ariel since mermaids can apparently just easily traverse dimensions. She gives Ariel her voice back so she can go to Storybrooke to retrieve something for them, giving her a bracelet that will give her legs without having to trade her fins to someone else and telling her Prince Eric is in Storybrooke, so she can go off and live happily ever after with him as a reward.
So, if next week is in Storybrooke, and they have Yvette Nicole Brown guesting as Goldilocks, then I would assume she really would have to be Ursula in disguise, because that would be random- "hmm, let's introduce Ursula voice by this actress, and then have said actress show up as a totally different character in Storybrooke in the same ep Ariel shows up there!"
It is curious who the other person Pan has then- with it being a Little Mermaid ep, I figured at first it might be her or Eric. But apparently its neither of them, so its definitely curious who it would be.
Anyways, as for the rest of the crew, Hook reveals to the Charmings that Neal is still alive. He and David think they should keep it quiet to not freak Emma out, and Snow goes along for all of two seconds before blurting it out. (She really does suck at keeping secrets!) So, they decide to rescue him, prompting Regina to go to team Rumpel. I'm amused whenever Regina refers to Henry as "our son" to Emma, because someone flicking through the channels at that point might think they're a lesbian couple.
But yeah, Neal's being kept in the cave of Echoes, which to rescue him, they have to speak truths. Which seems to be why Pan is letting Neal get rescued, because its more fun that they have all these secrets revealed. Which are:
1) Hook is in love with Emma- apparently she makes him think he can love again, which he hasn't been able to do since he lost Milah.
2) Snow is totally not cool with what happened with Emma and missing out on her life. So when they get back, she wants to have another kid.
3) Which of course makes David's secret deliciously cruel- he reveals the truth about the arrow and the cure and how he's stuck in Neverland. So now Snow is pissed off.
4) Emma loves Neal, but when she heard about Neal being alive and that rescuing him was possible, she was actually hoping it was all a lie, some trick, because if he was alive, then she'd have to deal with her feelings.
But they rescue Neal. Which is hilarious, because not only does she have this love triangle to deal with, the only other people around are her parents! Awkward!
