   HOTTYPANTS for the win. I have been waiting for this recap all week, I knew there would be pictures but the one in the shower( mere words cannot describe the joy in my heart and elsewhere!) I used to think Hook was sexy but he gets beat up by everyone he is such a wuss! The creators need to figure outa way to reanimate the sheriff!!!

   “As they struggle the heart with Graham’s box in it…” Ha ha, I love this typo for some reason.

   I must say I’m disappointed in you, Pottymouth. Not one Graham underwear shot. I would say the shower shot made up for it, but he was all hunched over. As your punishment you owe us a month of Graham pics.

   This episode was weird.

   And Henry’s turning into a bratty pre-teen.

   I did like how Nealfire was so excited about his “good” parenting job. Good thing they didn’t have a girl. She would have him wrapped around her finger.

   So did Greg spends just spend years driving back to town, hoping it would show up again? And base on the previews of this week’s episode, is anybody else under the impression that Tamara (Neal’s fiance) is “Her.”

   I have to stop reading the recaps. Sorry. I have become as invested in the recaps as I am in the show and one is leaking over into the other. When Graham came on I screamed at the TV – OMG IT’S SHERIFF McHOTTY PANTS. Now my husband thinks I’m nuts. So that I don’t run the risk of being committed, I’m swearing off on the recaps. (At least until the next one is up)

   How about the only name in my head for him is Sheriff McHottyPants ….even when talking to my fellow Oncers. I knew Owen was Greg by the second scene he appeared in. I.DO.NOT.LIKE.DEPRESSED.SNOW.WHITE, she was annoying at best. Why hasn’t anyone disciplined Henry????? I wish a child would make the attempt to speak like that to me.

   It was an OK episode I guess. I got all worked up about Snow being a little evil just to have her become a heaping pile of disgusting, blubbering yuck!!! But wait!!! That did seem to be a spot of dark on her heart. So I guess if I just be a little patient I just might get an evil Snow out of the deal yet!!!

   I did find it rather strange that when Regina went into the Charmings to find Rumpty Dumpty having the Snow watch. So he takes orders from Charming now or what??? If I was Rumpty and Charming talked to me like that I swear to GOD that I would have to turn his ass into a Frog in a hot minute!!! But that’s a different story I guess.

   Just what did Henry think he was going to do with that dynamite??? The only good I could have seen coming out of that mess would be that we sure wouldn’t have to be putting up with his bratty ass any more. Boy takes after his Grampa from the side of his Momma. I can tell. It’s definitely not the first time he has done something brilliant like this.

   Speaking of the Grampa from the side of his Mother. Charming is still just about a useless as it gets!!! Let’s see here. What good did he do this episode??? Hmmm. Umm. Well. He did show up!!! I guess that’s something anyway. OK, he did holler at Rumpty Dumpty for a minute or two. For whatever that was worth.

   Regina was just as beautiful as she always is. She also done something real nice to. She spared Snow her life!!! Hey that’s something!!! Plus she did learn how to make Lasagne. Owen said it was crap. If I remember right though didn’t a certain Charming stop by once to have dinner with the lovely Regina??? That’s before he got his memory back. I believe that they had Lasagne and she said it was her specialty. If my remembers not broke again that is. I’m still waiting for her to come and get me to take over the duties of the former Sheriff. And I ain’t talking about doin no Sheriffin!!! That’s them Charming’s job and that’s not any where close to what I’m talking about here. I’m after the inside job!!!

   The little kid Owen being Greg was not any big reveal for sure. I mean if I was able to figure it out very quickly then everybody else had to of twice as fast!!! I did like how they went about incorporating him into the story. It does make you wonder how often he had tried to get back to Storybrooke before he finally was able to??? I would think that after a few years of trying that he would eventually have give up. It also makes me wonder if Regina put his Daddy down in the same place as Belle was. That sure would be a hell of a long time to have to spend down there if that’s what she did do with him. What she should have done was let him go into Belle’s room and then maybe they would have fell in love with each other. Then old Rumpty Dumpty wouldn’t of had no Belle. Because she would be in love with somebody else. So in turn that would have ripped his heart out without having to even get her hands dirty….. HAHAHAHahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

    The word up there should expect* not except because it’s the wrong accept!

    Beautiful, Potty, just absolutely flawless! Also that last picture…As a horseback rider I really appreciate everything about it…Save a horse, ride a sheriff!

    Regarding the shirts in this show, I agree! I don’t really understand the costume designers, there should be no shirts on all the hot men ever, it’s simply a waste of a budget! I’ve brought up this issue on Twitter with Josh Dallas after we saw him mining and those arms of his…His response: “Ha!” Soooo….I’m not sure if he liked the idea, he thinks i’m joking or he was flirting with me…The mixed signals are a bit frustrating…Even Jack got more undressed than James! What’s not okay is when he hangs out with Thor he doesn’t wear a shirt!

    Also, if I had my own town, I would allow shirts, but all male clothing would be tear-away…I would call it MagicMikeTopia…Yeah…

    I honestly don’t have much to say about this episode. I wasn’t invested in the actual plot and actually had to explain to my friend how much I don’t care because all that mattered was Graham. (Seriously they should just make a spinoff of Storybrooke from 1983 until right before Emma arrives but have it Graham…All the time…In the shower!)…I mean Jaime wants to come back(he owes us more shirtless scenes, like 45…And a three hour movie…Naked! No wait that last part would be porn…), he thinks Emma shouldn’t fall in love with anyone else, she should just sit and look at pictures of him…OMG…We’re what Jaime wants…We are all Emma…Or does he just want Emma to be another fan girl?!

    Regina was getting it daily, nightly and ever so rightly…She really should have let a good thing be!

    However, when Regina was holding Graham’s heart it made me so mad…Knowing what she did the next time we saw it…Why did she need anyway? Everyone did what she wanted! Also, doesn’t she know what anatomy belongs in a box?! Nope wait, 1983 didn’t have that song yet.

    I honestly did not pick up on the Greg/Owen plot line until the end of the episode…I am so not interested in Greg’s plot line because he’s so annoying and I really don’t understand why Regina had to keep Kurt there…I wonder if he sits in his padded cell and sings Bruce…Why would Regina want anyone from Jersey to stay in Storybrooke anyway?!

    So they giveith us Graham but then next week we’re back to normal and they takeith Graham away! But, August is back! So Yayyy! The prodigal (wooden) son returns! We may finally get to see one of those reunions we have been waiting for!

    How sad it is that Cora was probably going to use that curse on Regina if she couldn’t manipulate her?! Like, Regina might have appreciated finding it it but I felt like it was a reminder to us that Cora was a bad apple…Though I almost would have rather seen her come out a trance when Cora died…Then she might have learned what her mother was really about, but that would not be fun or interesting and I like evil Regina!

    Snow was as sniveling, boring and guilt ridden as I expected her to be…They should have called Dr. Hopper and gotten her some uppers…I get it…It was supposed to mirror the Storybrooke of old and how Snow wouldn’t fight but ugh…It was brutal! I don’t care what Henry thinks of Snow, she should have owned, Cora murdered her mother! That was enough of a reason to do it, end of story…Don’t get me wrong, I’m one of the few, it seems, that likes Henry! But I just don’t think even he is a virtuous as he seems.

    I’m not sure Greg/Owen is the child in the prophecy, he didn’t lead Rumple to Bae, though he is more than he seems…But he’s gunning for Regina and he’s not a boy anymore…

    Tamara should provide an interesting element…I’d like to see Neal explain Henry and Emma to her but then see Emma give her a dirty look like, “Bitch I went to jail for him and gave birth to his son! Why exactly should he marry you, again?!” But mostly I just Her(see what did there?! lol!) and Greg to go away.

    And finally, how come Regina didn’t ask who Neal is?! Does she not know that Bae is also Henry’s dad?! I feel like this should be a bigger deal to people who don’t know!

    I concur Sagi—-a pic a post works for me. And hey—–does anyone truly leave Storey Brooke???????? Lets get Doc Whale on the case here why dont we? I mean surely he has worked out the kinks in his re-animation surgery.

    @ 5 Mimo—not crazy– I waved at the tv and said Hi……..I missed him so much–

    @ 8 Mike— I think Dad is in the lower hospital—the One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest place.

    Tossing flowers to I Want—just bravo
    And I didnt pick up on the Greg/Owen connection until the end either. I love how Red just plain out doesnt like him–heehee. Is he “the boy” prophesied??? I think so.

    Awesome recap Pottykins— and happy b-day to wee potty.

    Will be bouncing back and speculizing more—heeheehee—–well and to gaze upon our darling Sheriff. Maybe b/c its 1983 he could do a Miami Vice thing???????

    Was “Welcome to Storey Brooke” the name of the pilot episode (heehee–pilot episode)

    If Tamara is “Her” we are in for some reeeaaaaallllllllllll shiz to go down!!!
    Are Tamara and Bae “Lady and the Tramp”???
    And excuse me writers—NYC does have magic!!! stamping me feet—”Itdoesitdoesitdoesitdoes!!!!! It. Does.” Poison apple–apple turnovers—NYC is The Big Apple. Ok writers?? How you like them apples!!!!!!!!

    The recap was, as always, stellar! I liked how this episode has set up the remainder of the season and am looking forward to Pinocchio’s return. There had better be some tears and a loving reunion with Geppetto or I will not be a happy camper.

    My captcha code is ‘love me’ – rather appropriate for Regina, I must say…

    I just can’t see Owen/Greg as the kid that the gal with the eye hands was talking about. It looks as if the Owen story is kind of not really over but just kind of at a stand still for the next quite a while. Until he is able to crash his car into Hook anyways. I would venture to speculate that he has for many years tried to cross that line before but to no avail. Now that he has though I just wonder how long it will take him to find his father??? This story can actually be a pretty good story providing they do it right. The curse hadn’t been active for very long before they came into the picture. As a matter of fact they got to see it coming. So that means that Owen’s Daddy has been put somewhere for more then 28 years. I just can’t see him being none to happy about that any way you look at it. I suppose he could be dead but I really don’t see that as being the case. So when Greg does happen to find him he isn’t going to want to just leave town and forget the whole thing ever happened. He is going to want somebody to pay. there ain’t no doubt in what little mind I do have left about this!!!!!

    @ 15 hot cawfee- I don’t think yelling or screaming or anything like that at your TV set is very crazy. I’m just not quite sure about the waving thing though. It’s, umm, yea, kinda crazy!!! Now if you think that *they* actually see *you* waving at them then. Not saying that *you* think that they see you waving at them. But if you do happen to think that they do see you waving at them then I think you might need to seek a little professional help on this matter. Now if you do think that you might possibly need a little help I would like to offer my services. I am a professional in such matters and deal with these kind of situations regularly. It’s completely up to you. I just want you to know that I am here for you if need be!!!!!

    I haven’t read the review yet, off to do that in a second but I need to vent for a moment. OUAT is really frustrating me with how they are leaving too many strings untied and I have a feeling we are going to end up like Lost and have more questions than answers. For example, Rumple has been looking for Bae for like, forever and now that he has found him and Bae forgives him they should be joined at the hip for a few episodes, right? Also, I believe that the reason that “True loves kiss” didn’t work on Belle when he tried it before he left town was because he didn’t understand what true love really was but he discovered it when he was dying and made that phone call to Belle at the hospital so first thing after getting healed, he and Bae should have high tailed it to the hospital to try again, I am betting it will work now. And why is Belle even still in the hospital? She not hurt, just has amnesia so why is she still lying there?? Also, could we please see where August is and why isn’t Geppetto out looking for him? Henry told him he is there somewhere. I mean they don’t have to wrap up every little nugget in a bright red bow but finishing SOME of the story lines before making more would be really appreciated! Ok, off to read!!!!!

    @ Michelle – I don’t know if I can help out much but I can a little. I think that Belle is still in the Hospital because they want to keep an eye on her to make sure the wound heals properly and don’t get infected. I’m not exactly sure where the bullet actually went in. If it was anywhere near a vital organ then she would definitely have an extended stay. Now if she was hit in like the arm or leg and it was a clean in and out then I couldn’t see why she would be in there more then just overnight. Now as for Greg and him being able to be frolicking around in the woods looking for his old camp (my guess anyway) that should have been grown over long ago. I can’t see any reason for him to be hanging around there…..

    Since my sinus headache has turned into a perpetual migraine and won’t go away… I might have missed this… but are we sure the postcard was sent to Neil? Could the postcard have been sent to Greg? It would kind of explain how he knew he could drive back in this time around. Just a thought…

    @ 19 Mike— thank you !!! I may take you up on the offering of help. I know admitting my problem is half the battle!!!

    @ 22 Insane—–passing an ice-pack and Advil—sinus migraines suck. Pinocchio sent Neal the post-card. Interesting twist tho if it had gone to Owen.

    @20 Michelle– I think the writers are setting up for the spinoff/offs. I never watched Lost so I am not very familiar with their writing style and how they lay plot/s. The loose ends are frustrating tho— I miss Jefferson.

    And question———Rumpy went with them all to the Storey Brooke from Fairy Tale Land. Why did he go????

    @ 23 hot – I just can’t imagine you seeking help from me. That is very funny to me anyways. Those were just idol words coming from a man trying to entertain himself late at night because he has absolutely no life what so ever. If there is anybody here needing to seek help for lacking in the sanity department. That would be *me* not you!!! In other words, it was just my lame ass trying to be funny and coming up a bit short. If anything I should be seeking help from you!!!

    As for your question. Do you think that he had a choice???

    @ insane – Sinus headaches are the worst!!! Almost as bad as a toothache. I suggest you take two asprin and call me in the morning.

    Posted March 24, 2013 at 11:40 pm

    Is there anybody on this show that isn’t a throw away character??? I mean besides the Major 6. So long August W. Booth, you were actually somebody I kinda liked. Maybe they needed someone for Henry Boy to hang out with that wasn’t an adult. I thought that wooden Booth was kinda cool. I didn’t quite get how the hand held tazer was able to kill wooden Booth??? Wood is not a conductor of electricity so there really should have been no effect what so ever on him.

    I know that I am drawn more to the evil/bad people of the show but this Tomorrow chick I like even less then that Malox chick who is still whoring around with that Princess Damora. Not really sure just what it is about her but it’s like she really doesn’t bring anything to the table with her. Then the big reveal of her being the *her* we have been waiting for to me just seemed a little lame. If they are needing to get rid of characters so bad. My vote goes for killing off her and gregoween in the very near future. Sure wouldn’t hurt my feelings at all. That’s for sure.

    So I wonder where baby Owen daddy went to??? Does anybody believe that Regina has no idea as to his whereabouts??? Since they been doing a lot of hanging out in the woods I guess it’s only fitting that Robert Hood show up and foil somebody with his gay blade!!!!!

    Ok, now that August is a little boy again, I hope we don’t see very much of him. I can tolerate one annoying little boy on this show, but 2 is definitely pushing it. That being said, I’m glad Geppetto got his little boy back. How obvious was it that Tamara was “Her”? She’s so beautiful, but really? A taser to kill everyone? I expect better of you. The only reason I can see for the taser working on August was something like what happens when lightening strikes trees. Although I guess in that case, August would be split in half or something.

    I’m thinking the ‘taser’ is a special ‘magic stopping/ending/neutralizing’ taser. I hoping that is the case since wood doesn’t conduct electricity. I don’t think the writers are that bad.

    So with Long Nose being a boy I wonder if he remembers growing up as Booth. It seems that Emma thinks he wood!!! (see what I did there) Now I just can’t make up my mind if I believe Little Big Nose or not about him remembering what was going on while he was would right before he was killed by Tomorrow. With her standing right there maybe he was to scared to say anything right in front of her. So maybe he does remember and as soon as she is out of the picture he will tell all!!! So we can get past this story line real fast and get back to what really matters. You may ask just exactlywhat is it that really matters??? I would say, *Anything Else!!!*

    Well now when it comes to Snow I see Charming is an enabler!!! He was going to let her lay around there and piss and moan untill the cows come home I guess. Let’s see here. What did Charming do this episode that was of any significant importance??? Hmmm, yea, when you figure it out let me know!!!!!

    Oh PottyMouth – your recaps are the bestest. I have a few questions. What the hell happened to Owen’s dad? If that is left hanging I will NOT be happy. And I don’t get how Regina has the nerve to be all indignant about Snow’s deception that led to Cora’s death. Um, didn’t Cora kill Snow’s mother? I saw it – you saw it. I would have thrown that back in Regina’s face.
