Once Upon a Time 5.03 Siege Perilous

Once Upon a Time 5.03 Siege Perilous
Finding out Camelot has a secret motive gives me so much hope that Emma's decision to go dark was provoked. I'm hoping she reveals a bit of her downward spiral. We see her determination to take Excalibur, but she's letting her relationships with Henry and Killian suffer.

David and Snow are blinded by their love and are taking too much of a backseat. David is working too closely with Arthur (as we now know is a lost cause) but they should really be concerned with Emma's dark powers growing within her.

Regina looks like she's controlling all aspects of the situation. I think she's taking things too far in concerns of Zelena and her unborn baby. I'd like to think she would have a better moral compass after becoming a hero in all of this. Separating a parent unwillingly from their child is one of the worst things a human can do. I disapprove this and I'd like for her to remember her emotions when she thought Emma was taking Henry from her.

Once Upon a Time 5.02, Blood & Oil 1.02

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.

Once Upon a Time 5.01, Blood & Oil 1.01

<i>Once Upon a Time 5.01 The Dark Swan</i>

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>Blood & Oil 1.01 Pilot</i>

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.

Once Upon a Time 4.22, 4.23

Once Upon a Time 4.22 Operation Mongoose: Part 1 // 4.23 Operation Mongoose: Part 2
This was actually an interesting twist on things! I kind of like the role reversal for villains and heroes to switch places in this format. When we knew the intent was villains to get s a happy ending, I didn't think it would mean they would get the storyline to their opposites. It strays from the happy endings in Storybrooke, but I think this will mean they will have alternative stories.

Making Henry the next author was what I assumed from the beginning! Of course I thought it was an adult Henry from the future, but having multiple authors after their time is done means there can always be more than one. That was very noble of him to snap the quill at the end of the finale. Symbolizes he is worthy and doesn't want anymore harm to come to his family.

Emma is beating me up inside with cocooning all of her emotions for Hook. I feel she is hurting the audience more than she is herself haha! She finally told Killian she loves him in the end after her sacrifice happened *confetti throw* but now there's a new problem at hand. Rumplestilskin's heart is pure and clear, but the darkness swallowed Emma instead.

As the saviour, Emma can see the light if everybody else in town can help her. I wonder what the next season will have in store, but this was actually an amazing twist to it all. Even after all they've been through, I think the writers did a great job with foreshadowing the possibility of Emma's ability to go dark after the mid-season premier. I'm hoping this means the characters can stray away from Storybrooke for real answers, but my assumption is that the apprentice is the best person with answers for the time being.

There's nothing else I can cover about this show that hasn't already been said. I'm hoping for another original storyline to come. With Lily as a new character addition, maybe she can be the best person to seek answers to win her back.

Once Upon a Time 4.21 Mother

Once Upon a Time 4.21 Mother
As expected, all Lily wants is revenge. I'm not sure if she's going to give Storybrooke a chance, but more than ever she has to give Maleficent a shot at being a mother.

I knew the author couldn't be trusted! As soon as he wasn't writing something to tear apart someone else's life, he vanished to Rumplestilskin in an instant. I think after he's done writing for him, he may go do something else for himself. They're both the same guy in a sense they always need control over everything. No element of surprise for them; they'll always be the predator.

I'm glad Regina is at peace with her life at long last. She's done manipulating and pushing the envelope for what she wants. She was always been a great character, mainly because we've seen all sides to her from first season. Robin coming back to town is a good twist on everything.

Thank goodness Emma has let go of her scowl and grudge against her parents. It's one thing to be upset for one choice that altered her reality, but it's another to blame every little thing following on that one mistake. I hope she gives Captain Hook a real chance with her. I don't want the author damaging the one relationship everyone's been routing for!

I'm looking forward to the two hour finale next week! It's been a good season with the queens of darkness in Storybrooke. My only question is if Zelena is going to turn a new leaf like the rest of them.

Once Upon a Time 4.20 Lily

Once Upon a Time 4.20 Lily
I didn't think Regina and Emma were able to get from Storybrooke to Massachusetts and then New York in one day. It seems that magic is always on their side haha.

I knew Lily had to be alive, but it looks like the wizard is routing for Lily in this. He saw the author abused his power and changed stories by ruining other people's lives. He may have wanted Lily to be the saviour all along? He knew she was an innocent once he banished her, but despite her bad luck in the "real world," she's found a way to be protected in all this. Makes sense she wants vengeance but I think she's the key to changing everything. She'll either return to Storybrooke wanting to tear apart Rumplestilskin, or peace with her mother.

Zelena is pregnant and this throws out a huge curveball. Maybe they'll bring Zelena back to Storybrooke with them? Or maybe Regina takes Roland with her instead? Separating Robin from Roland will ruin everything, so I hope this doesn't happen.

Once Upon a Time 4.19 Sympathy for the De Vil

Once Upon a Time 4.19 Sympathy for the De Vil
This is actually a great twist on Cruella's life growing up. She became a villain partially because of the author. He enhanced her role as a villain and even if she did get a "happy ending," it would be dark.

Ursuala's happy ending was to get her voice back and return to the sea with her father. Maleficent's happy ending lies with getting her daughter back. Regina's happy ending is finding love again with Robin Hood. Rumplestilskin's happiness is getting Belle back BUT he also wants to hold on to his dark magic.

Cruella's happy ending is still an angry one. The author is involved with her, but she wants nothing to do with him. I think Cruella, Peter Pan and Rumplestilskin are the only villains who can't rewrite their paths. All three are over consumed with power, which is why the author left well enough alone.

I wonder if what he meant by everything ending with the saviour really meant no more Emma. At one point, being the saviour may not be good enough. She has a lot burdening her, I hope this means Lily will come back and be a companion to her.

Once Upon a Time 4.18 Heart of Gold

Once Upon a Time 4.18 Heart of Gold
A Robin Hood episode! I was curious to know if they'd actually bring back and mention what happened to him since leaving Storybrooke. The same goes for Zelena, they finally said what happened to her after her remains disappeared in the jail cell.

Zelena's been disguising herself as Marian this whole time, and now it's all coming together. This means Robin can find happiness back in Storybrooke with his son and Regina again. If Robin finds out, I wonder how well he'll survive in New York. Rumplestilskin seems to know what's going on, but as usual he will only help if he gets something in return.

I imagine this isn't easy for Regina, but she's definitely going to find a way to get her happiness. Emma is going all stone cold, proving she can go darkside after everything she's gone through. She appears more haggard and depressed and harps on "being lied to" every five minutes. She grew up with a tough upbringing, but I think she needs to look at the bigger picture before she's no longer "the saviour" of the town.

Somehow, I'm hoping Robin can come back to Storybrooke undetected, but they'll probably need help from the author in this. I was totally wrong by the way, the author isn't adult Henry after all. He's just a random one with a magic quill. He just goes rogue as much as possible haha

Once Upon a Time 4.17 Best Laid Plans

Once Upon a Time 4.17 Best Laid Plans
I knew Lily would hold a significance in this story. An episode wouldn't have been dedicated to Emma's teenage life if it didn't have anything to do with future plot. I'd like for her to return to make Emma "see the light" or even become another Saviour to help out. I really have a good feeling about her.

Maleficent's happy ending was to be a mother to her baby, not a monster for the rest of her life. If she gets Lily back, I think she will let go of everything she's held against the heroes in the Enchanted Forest as well as Storybrooke. I want her happy ending, but I don't think the author is the answer.

The author is a bit of a weird character. He doesn't seem to be the typical guy to get all his great ideas down together. He also manipulates characters to come up with a better story to tell (especially when he sent Snow and Charming into the other direction in the forest). Now that the wizard locked him away in the page, I think that was the safest way to pull him as an interference.

I'm surprised with the turn the author has taken. We don't know how he got his magic or why he can write about people and still be in the same story with them. Does he write himself in or does somebody else hold power over him?

Once Upon a Time 4.16 Poor Unfortunate Soul

Once Upon a Time 4.16 Poor Unfortunate Soul
I like the story of young Ursula, she used to be on The Following. Her rare gift (soothing song voice) as a weapon is kind of like Ariel. It makes sense that it's similar with all mermaids, how they act as a siren. Killian genuinely wanted to help her though the whole time. He was actually going to get Ursula where she wanted to be without question, even before Poseidon tried to bribe him with another deal.

I also thought King Poseidon was Ariel's father as well, so I'm really confused. If Ariel came to and from the realms, she's a fast swimmer! Thank goodness she made an appearance to help save Killian in Storybrooke.

Really love that August is back, but I wonder if he'll remain this way. I like him better as an adult but I hope Rumplestilskin doesn't ruin everything as always. He was very helpful in the end with assisting with the page. I thought the door would've been physically in the library or Regina's house, but if the author is stuck inside, it very well could be an adult/future Henry (I'm still sticking with this theory).

Killian finally confessed he's found his happy ending, but it may not be good enough to bring Emma out of darkness with Rumple gets his hands on her =/

Once Upon a Time 4.15, The Walking Dead 5.14

Once Upon a Time 4.15 Enter the Dragon
I'm glad with this change in Maleficent's backstory! Having her pregnant right before Regina casted the curse on the Enchanted Forest is an excellent opener to her reasons of anger. Snow looks vengeful but protective of her family for the time being. Glad the writers were creative with this storyline! I thought that at first Snow/Mary-Margaret and David committed bad magic to save the kingdom, but baby-for-baby makes more sense. It will be interesting to see what Maleficent wants to do in Storybrooke, especially since she's wedged between the heroes and villains.

Colin O'Donoghue is a great actor! He played Rumplestilskin's character very well in his own skin. It's interesting Rumplestilskin decided on THAT character to impersonate just to get close to Belle and the dagger. I wonder if he will do it again, but that will mean Killian will take a step back in being present around Storybrooke.

The Walking Dead 5.14 Spend
I can't get over what Glenn and Rick are going through, so that's what my entire review will center upon.

Glenn witnessed the true colours of the cowards that fight for Alexandria. All selfish and leave their own behind. This is what separates themselves from Rick's group. There's an actual bond, real relationships formed, between the group. They always stand up for each other by any means necessary. They're also logical, not like the folks in Alexandria. As much as congresswoman wants a community built on trust, it's not happening with all these holes found within the characters.

Now to Rick's surprise visit from creepy husband Paul. You don't bring up somebody's dead wife with alcohol in hand, just a big NO! After Rick let him out and started fiddling with his wedding ring =( Of course he's hurt by Lori's death, but he ain't broken! Rick had to fight to get to where he is. If not for himself, for Carl, Judith and the sake of the group's survival. Without a doubt, he's devoted. Carol finding out Paul is abusing his wife and son is huge game changer. This will be the start of something big if Rick decides to take control of Alexandria.

Two episodes left and I can only imagine more action to come! Sad Noah got killed off this soon, but I saw his leg as a setback from moving quickly with the rest of the group. I wonder if Glenn will bring up the fighter's cowardice to Rick (I'm sure he will).

Once Upon a Time 4.14 Unforgiven

Once Upon a Time 4.14 Unforgiven
The Charmings got me cheering for their team right now. I hope they get it right with tracking down Cruella and Ursula. My guess is they made a bet to save the kingdom of the Enchanted Forrest, but the deal went sour. They could also use dark magic by accident.

I don't want Emma and Killian's relationship to end! I can't stop cheering for them as much as Snow and David. When the queens of darkness interefere with Storybrooke, I think they will take it out on Emma. Maleficent's revenge is with Snow, but she wants to take an eye for an eye out on Emma. Without a doubt, I think they'll try to turn Emma to go dark side. Once again, I think Killian or Henry are the only ones strong enough to lift her out of the spell.

I knew August would somehow be the key to finding the author! I wonder if Henry will make the discovery or if Belle will help him in the library. I quite like Will Scarlett and Belle together. The hint was in the beginning when Will got two coffee cups from Granny's and walked straight out. I want Rumple to steer clear, he's getting on my nerves now. I find him to be the weakest of Cruella, Ursula and Maleficent. He's spent most of his time in Storybrooke, and he's attached to Belle that he can't let her go.

We will have to see what happens next Sunday!

Once Upon a Time 4.13 Darkness on the Edge of Town

Once Upon a Time 4.13 Darkness on the Edge of Town
The costume and set department do an amazing job with bringing characters to life! I'm liking this side of the Queens of Darkness throwing down a good scene.

Killian is too hard on himself in all of this. Emma really believes in him, so I hope he can get his self-esteem and confidence back in. Belle seems to be in the same boat but she made a choice to banish Rumple away from the town.

Pretty stoked the fairies were freed in all of this. They have better knowledge around light magic so they'll be productive and useful in Storybrooke.

Did nobody notice the big black winged smoke flapping in the distance?! Maybe if they paid attention and didn't hug everything out, they'd be prepared for the large gargoyle hanging around the town.

I'm trying to think who the "author" was of the storybook. At first I thought it was August in the beginning because of what he sewn into it in first season. Then I got thinking maybe it is adult Henry. He's the only one born in the real world and not from the Enchanted Forest. Adult Henry sounds like a good candidate to be this author.

Snow and Charming are the greatest couple. They seem to be making wiser decisions this time around with judgement and working together as a family. I liked the threat Snow made two Ursula and Cruella. This means there are more secrets!

Once Upon a Time 3.21, 3.22

Once Upon a Time 3.21 Snow Drifts // 3.22 There's No Place Like Home
AT LONG LAST! A proper two hour season finale that does a show rightful justice. From start to finish, this was a flawless finale. It covered all basics and even went back to the reasons why we first started watching the series to begin with. Re-telling Snow and Charming's love story was one of the many firsts connecting all characters of the Enchanted Forest.

Emma has finally reconnected herself into who she's meant to be. Killian was the one who lead the way for her to see truth! He chased after her when she contemplated her move back to New York. He also went after her when she got too close to the barn. He's not going to abandon her anyway. He even ensured her survival while he did a sword fight against the castle guards. His love for her is almost as intense as, dare I say X-Men's Wolverine for Jean Grey.


I didn't expect Marian to be the secret character! Makes sense for it to be her, but I was open to a new enemy. She believed in Snow's innocence so having it be a fellow lady in the woods like Red is also a plus. I don't think she will be a threat in the upcoming season since her main concern would be for the son. Robin will probably love Regina still and work things out with his family. I also believe Regina can work light magic again. She knows how to love again and making her the villain is old.

Rumpelstilskin will be the neutral villain in the background, but his marriage to Belle should overpower his need to control with the dagger. When he has urges, I am sure Belle will bring him back to his human self. Aside from that, I think Zelena used up enough of her screen time. She had to go and I am glad Rumpel was the one who did it.

I'm excited for Elsa to come to the show. Since the vault contained unstable and misunderstood magic, it will probably involve Anna being able to calm her. I wonder who will be cast as the character since Idina Menzel's famous characters are getting some spotlight time!

I'm so impressed with that wonderful ending where Killian could finally prove he was a hero! There was so much consistency with his character and his love for Emma all along. The whole time from the start of the season (even prior to this season), his goal was to bring Emma back and help her believe everyone in Storybrooke needed her. He did all that. Not Henry or anybody else; Killian did it all! Now we know he sold the Jolly Roger all for her. REAL FAIRY TALE LOVE!

I'm glad this series has made it through to fourth season. I can't wait to see what the producers have next =D

Once Upon a Time 3.17 The Jolly Roger

Once Upon a Time 3.17 The Jolly Roger
Yes a Captain Hook episode!

Killian is living a double life, and he really turned into a hero this time around. I remember he was changing from the traditional villain last season when they were in Neverland. When it comes down to it, he does everything and all he can because of his love for Emma. He's also the character everybody has come to love. Not a fan of the curse he was slapped with. Now we watch his heart break some more. I have a feeling there will be a different curse that will test him. Kind of like Zelena placing a sleeping curse on Emma like sleeping beauty. The only person that can awaken her is true love's kiss, which would be Henry or Killian. If Killian does it, it takes away her magic. On the up side, at lease Killian is witty enough to outsmart Zelena and not believe her off the bat.

Haha the grandparents found out Henry thinks they're boring and take him joy riding. But really when it comes down to it, Josh Dallas and Ginnifer Goodwin are way too cute. They got married this weekend (random news, I know) and they're making this show even better with their character chemistry.

Zelena is so evil but adds a lot to the story. I wonder if anybody else will learn she is Regina's half sister in the episodes to come. I hope so, just so it doesn't linger anymore.

Once Upon a Time 3.11 Going Home

Once Upon a Time 3.11 Going Home
Finally I have a chance to post about the mid season winter finale! It's been a busy weekend, and the start to the week has been a swirl. One of my good friends is moving away so there's been a big bon voyage for her.

Rumplestilskin finally did something selfless and sacrificed himself for the good of everybody else. I think even though he died in Storybrooke, he may be alive in the Enchanted Forest.

Regina lost the most by finally letting go of all of the anger. She took her revenge out on the people of the enchanted forest and cursed the kingdom to fall under her command. Freeing Henry from her care, the town and all memories just changed the original goal at "happiness". Everybody else can define their own happy ending differently, but Emma's was consistently to have a family. I am sure at the end of the day, Emma will have to remember something. She's the saviour for a reason and will always find a way.

Baelfire confuses me. He was born in the magical world as much as Emma, but he also grew up in New York City. I feel he could have gone with her too, only that defeats the role Captain Hook has in her life.

Now on to Captain Hook! I know he isn't from the Enchanted Forest, he was actually in the English military before arriving to Neverland. It kind of explains how he can get to New York no problem, but he was able to retain his memories!

The preview for March 9 looks fantastic! We get to see the Wicked Witch of the East in the Enchanted Forest! It looks like she took over while the Evil Queen left for Storybrooke. I am excited the first part of this season opened and closed with Peter Pan appropriately. It was timed perfectly with no loose ends left behind. My guess is the second half of the season will be partially divided in New York City (which is really downtown Vancouver) and the Wicked Witch of the East's back story.

A great season added to this show. Probably the one of two consistent shows this fall (the other being Hostages) =D

Once Upon a Time 3.10 The New Neverland

Once Upon a Time 3.10 The New Neverland
I think Robbie Kay was perfect as the Peter Pan on the show. He's so dynamic and broad with his acting for a young actor, casting did a great job bringing him on board!

I'm excited with what's happening in Storybrooke now. Henry is helpless in the wrong body and everybody is running around trying to make everything work in their personal life.

I want Hook to get his happy ending already. He would be awesome with Emma but I know Neal is the wedge between them. I also hope Tinkerbell gets more screen time. She hasn't been able to do much with all the new characters overpowering the plot.

If Peter Pan succeeds with recasting Regina's old curse, I think the only people able to keep their memories are Emma, Henry and the Darling children. Neal may not remember because he is actually Baelfire, but he has grown up in New York. The Darlings are from England, so they can grow up and reside in reality.

Happy this show mixes things up to make it all interesting.

Once Upon a Time 3.09 Save Henry

Once Upon a Time 3.09 Save Henry
It's great the first half of this season has finished with Neverland. The writers and producers were fantastic covering every character in Peter Pan's storyline and bringing it all in. It didn't take long for us to start missing the characters in Storybrooke, so I'm happy the task of getting Henry back didn't drag on through Neverland.

It was also nice to see Regina's first go at motherhood when she adopted baby Henry. But for the entire 11 years, John and Michael Darling were already searching for him in Boston! Why did it take them so long to reach Storybrooke? If Peter Pan knew the prophecy involving Henry, this means he relied heavily on the Darling boys since he took Wendy. For 11 years, they could've crossed over to Storybrooke. No idea why they took so long, especially since other people could stumble in without noticing on their road maps.

The last thing I'm curious about is the shadow situation. Since Peter Pan stays young forever, will that mean the newly possessed Henry won't age either? When they meant everybody is coming home to Storybrooke, they really meant everybody. I wonder if his shadow could be trapped just like with what Regina did to the shadow on the Jolly Roger. I doubt Rumplestilskin will get rid of Pandora's box, so Henry is technically still inside there. Also, nobody ages in Storybrooke either. Does this mean it will be just like Neverland as well? August, Baelfire and Emma grew up because they were in the real world outside of the Enchanted Forest. Henry should be able to grow up but if he is possessed with Peter Pan's soul, there may be a grey line there.

I look into this show a lot because it's so intricate and all of the characters overlap one another in a wonderful format. The ending was jaw dropping and actually changes everything. Excited for the rest of the season!

Once Upon a Time 3.08 Think Lovely Thoughts

Once Upon a Time 3.08 Think Lovely Thoughts
Poor young Rumple. Never thought I would say that, but now we know the significance of the doll Rumplestilskin crumpled over at the start of the season.

Captain Hook got a haircut! I notice weird things, but I do see it. Now everyone is equipped with a sword or some dark magic. It looks like jolly fun, especially since they're finishing each other's sentences.

Peter Pan just causes havoc and trouble. He's a miserable young boy who will never grow up. This makes sense considering the jaw dropping SPOILER NEWS that Peter Pan was once an adult. Not just any adult but Rumple's father!!

That ending too with Henry's decision, I'm sure he can be revived. He's died twice in this show already, Emma totally has the power to bring him back. This island actually change everything!

This is a good episode to break before their mid-season winter finale and March 9th return. I am so happy the writers and producers have thought this series through =D

Once Upon a Time 3.07, The Walking Dead 4.05

Once Upon a Time 3.07 Dark Hollow
We finally have a crossover to Storybrooke!

I knew those two characters had to be Jonathan and Michael Darling! It makes a perfect sense with the a) English accents, b) the teddy bear hanging from the rear view mirror and c) manipulation under Peter Pan, who they said upfront they very well knew who they worked for. But now that we know who Peter stole Wendy and holds her captive, what was his motivation? He was always after Henry and formed the lost boys out of those who wanted to come along. Was Wendy supposed to play the mother role but changed her mind to go back home? I'm so confused why the shadow chooses who to take. This is exciting, I have many questions for this plot.

Captain Hook is really a hero in the group. I've said it before and I'll say it again, he's grown so much since we've first met him. Even before knowing his back story with his brother, his purpose and reason to do good has been for Emma and Henry. He's become so selfless and I want him to get back to Storybrooke with everybody else.

I really wonder where Prince Eric is in Storybrooke. Ariel deserves her happy ending already!

The Walking Dead 4.05 Internment
There's a lot going on in the prison, and I don't think anyone addressed the massive hole in the side of the building. We assumed it got sealed up once more people arrived, but I think that's one way intruders and walkers can still enter the place.

I feel the plot really needs to develop. With cutting Carol loose last week, I have complete faith she will return. I am not sure why Rick is so scared of Tyreese's reaction to finding out who killed the other two. I was surprised how Maggie was so on board with Rick's decision but I do understand with regards to a trust pact. You need to trust your people and not have them going off to make decisions without communicating them.

Daryl's reaction can be either one of two extremes: upset the kind of way he was with his Merle OR calm and passive about the entire idea. I could see him in a face off with Tyreese in the near future.

The ending seconds of the episode had me groaning. Do not want to see this character back in the picture!
