geebsTV commentary:
OUAT- Weird, its over, but not! So, we find out Zelena and Glinda's deal. Apparently, back in Oz, Glinda invited her to join some witch group, to give her a family and sense of belonging. She accepts, and she was happy, even losing her green complexion. But then Dorothy shows up, and Zelena learns the truth- Glinda had invited her to the group because of some prophecy, but didn't tell her the whole prophecy, that Zelena might actually be some great evil. Glinda tries to reassure her, that she shouldn't hold stock in prophecies, particularly since its easy to misinterpret them.
But she won't be swayed, she tricks everyone into thinking Dorothy killed her, and then pretends to be the Wizard and sends her home with the slippers. Then she reveals herself to Glinda, and sends her to FTL, and presumably takes over Oz.
In the present, she drowns Hook to force Emma to touch his lips with hers in order to give him CPR. As such, the barrier she and Regina erected around the hospital goes down, and Zelena and Gold make short of everyone- Robin Hood and the Merry Men, Regina, Belle, Whale, the Charmings. They grab the Charmings' new baby boy.
The gang thinks all hope is lost, but Henry convinces Regina has good magic in her, since she broke the new curse. So they attack Zelena as she's trying to do the spell and Regina beats her with her new good magic. And with Zelena defeated, the monkeys turn back to who they were. Which, what the shit, this ep they were all, "Be careful, these monkeys could be people we know!" when last time they were killing monkeys willy nilly!
So the Charmings get their kid back, and Rumpel and Belle are reunited, and Regina spares her sister all, "I'm giving you a second chance, to change like I did!" And then she mysteriously tucks away Zelena's amulet in her vault. But Rumpel's not so forgiving. Regina gives his knife to Belle, who offers it back to Rumpel. But he's all you keep it! But then he steals it back from her anyways, and then goes to kill Zelena.
He stabs her with it, and she turns into a porcelain statue, which shatters. But then some mysterious green smoke comes from the box Regina put Zelena's amulet in and it floats off, but we'll have to wait until next week to see what happens.
24- Interesting, since this takes place in England, there's more than a few famous Brit actors in this, like Stephen Fry and Catelyn Stark. Heh, and Colin Salmon, but he's playing an American. It also has Yvonne Strahovski as a CIA agent again, though her character is a little more subdued here than Sarah Walker. But that might be because her character was married to a guy who was selling secrets to the Chinese, and she's all upset she didn't see it. Of course, this being 24, even if she seems like a good person, albeit chasing Jack because as far as she knows he's a fugitive, by the final hours it'll prolly be revealed she was also a Chinese spy, and the whole clueless spouse/disgraced spy thing was just an act.
I also totally don't trust Tate Donovan's character, he's totally suspicious. Of course, again, it being 24, he's prolly fine, and its his number 2 who's a secret bad guy. But I totally knew the hacker guy's girlfriend wasn't just some horny trick, and that she was a secret operative.
But yeah, Jack is still kinda a dick! He gets himself purposely captured so he can free Chloe, but only so he can track her to this new group of English hackers she's been hanging with. His ex-Serbian mob associate is all, "Isn't she your friend, she might just help you!" and he's all, "I have no friends!" Of course, when he tracks her down, she lets him have it all, "I would've helped you if you asked!" He doesn't even apologize about what happened to her at the end of the original series! Though I suppose he might not know she got arrested and taken away from her family. Although he should, given she is hanging out with some random hacker group now without her husband and child (or is it children?) He's all curt with her yet needing her help.
Its kinda funny, because people bring up her social problems and being difficult to work with, while she's one of the few people who gets he's kinda an a-hole and puts up with him.
Warehouse 13- Wow, I realize that Spanish is not Artie/Myka/Pete's native language, but wow, their Spanish is terrible. And did they really have to do the music whenever they switched between their real selves and the characters? Also, when Steve was split between his the "fun" and "stodgy" selves, why was his fun side extremely queeny?
