Once Upon a Time 5.02 The Price
Okay, why is Emma Swan keeping the entire time frame in Camelot a secret? I understand maybe hiding it from everybody else, but Killian should be open to it. He's always seen her side, even been a villain himself.

I wonder if she'll ever connect Excalibur properly. If she can do it, maybe that's what the warning from her flashback piece in last week's episode was about. I think she will be "lost" to the darkness if she connects the dagger to the sword. She still has feelings and a conscience; it was evident when she watched everyone in Granny's diner. In the beginning with Henry, their conversation still had meaning despite being empty. Excalibur becoming whole may mean so will her power.

Hope next week I get something more active.

Blood & Oil 1.02 The Ripple Effect
I see a little bit more character development in this episode. There's a lot of petty arguing between Billy and Cody, and they're only getting worst. If this is how the entire show will carry out, I don't think I'll want to see an angry couple go at each other's throats.

Why in the world would Billy go to the garage crime scene as well? I know he was involved with the fight, but it was Hap Briggs' oil that was stolen. His son Wick is a total snake and a coward. He's basically the opposite of his half sister. I'm actually liking Lacey's part in this show. It looks like she's successful in California, but she needs a 24 hour watchdog/man-servant while in town. She doesn't take to Darla kindly either, but I guess it's traditional family dynamics. She's somewhat more civil around her stepmother than Wick is. Wick and Darla have a total disregard for each other and it all comes down to money problems.

Emma Swan isn't good at playing an evil person. She's better as the saviour, not because that's how we're used to it but she REALLY doesn't play a bad person well. I hope by mid-season, we've resolved having her go dark side. Since the end of Excalibur is the dagger, the connection should be simple to make her a hero once more.

It looks like Zelena hasn't changed her ways either, so this should keep everything interesting.

I can't wait to see what happens in Camelot when we meet Merlin. I like when the writers have a specific setting for a good few episodes. It keeps the consistency and we get to meet a lot of fun characters. I think I'm also excited because Meghan Ory returns as Ruby this season.

I was pretty disappointed with this premiere and hoped for something more. The only thing that caught my attention were the last five minutes. Everything else was back and forth with the main couple needing a loan, jobs to make money and saving up for the baby they're expecting. Basically all they did was borrow from everyone and make a bunch of deals through word of mouth.
