“Don’t be afraid. Be flattered” 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ WILD. That delivery

[@d2s_duckling]

Imagine we had to wait MONTHS between the two episodes when the show originally aired. It was crazy (but it was worth it, New York City Serenade is a great Captain Swan episode after the "There's not a day that will go by I won't think of you. - Good."). Rumple's sacrifice was the culmination point of his redemption, and Pan was a great villain (Kudos to Robbie Kay). Season 3 really is the best season of the show from start to finish.

[@Nicamon]

Season 3A is great.Season 3B is where the serious problems start.

[@nilesstark]

"Villains don't have happy endings" Is basically one of many setups to the Design to the world of Once Upon a Time.

[@hallyhop]

That Rumple sacrifice scene WRECKED ME when I first saw it. So powerful. The ultimate reversal of his reputation as a coward

[@soixsantes]

for me rumple had become a great hero

[@soixsantes]

and like regina, he was starting to become one of my favorite characters

[@angelavm84]

Season 3 was so amazing. Full of rollercoaster emotions. This episode was just... wow.❤‍🔥

[@aliiciia555]

This season introduced the new format of season a and b, centered around a new realm, villain or hero. The next episode is one of my favourites, especially the twist in it. Can't wait to see your reaction. ❤

[@hallyhop]

My gosh and that ending with Regina and Henry and Emma and the Charmings, so so painful and so good

[@dragonforce627]

I definitely cried at the end of episode 11! I can't wait see you continue through season 3. The second half is one of the best of the whole series!!

[@valbonney2575]

Rumple and Regina - the two worst villains from the first season - both making their biggest sacrifices to save others. And yet it was all so believable! That's great plot and character development, in my opinion!

[@soixsantes]

true, and they have wanted to abandon the evil for their children.

[@soixsantes]

and regina has been a much better mother than her mother cora

[@TahaHejrani]

I'm from iran and i can't buy the patreoan, ouat is my entire life and it showed me how to be hopeful and how to love life and humans, i just wanted to say i love ur reactions, this ep i cried too, after rewatching it for more than hundred times, i cried with ur reaction I just loce u ❤️

[@karimyasser8953]

the neverland arc was great and everything , but the oz/wicked arc is so much better cant wait for it

[@CharmedPhoenix3]

Baelfire/Neal cant leave Storybrooke because the destruction of the Scroll, destroys the curse and the entire town of Storybrooke, like it never existed - with all characters returning to their original world - The Enchanted Forest, because they were all born there. Henry cant return because he wasnt born in that world, he was born in the land without magic and while Emma was born there, her ability as the Savior allows her to escape the curse.

[@loribeynon]

I’m guessing Henry put the pieces together as there would’ve been mentions of the dark curse in the storybook 🥰

[@loribeynon]

that’s how he found out about emma too

[@alexayaoihd7984]

That was a great episode for be the last, with Emma&Henry going out of Story Brook, but this season has 22 episodes and a better episode than before episodes.

[@cinegamerstv4619]

NON-SPOILER FACT If you've already noticed, the actress who plays Little Red Riding Hood (or Ruby) has already disappeared from the series and is only seen for about 5 minutes per season and this is because the actress accepted another role in another series where she was one of the protagonists and only returned for one or another special appearance in the series.

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

Wish there were reactors who did Intelligence

[@Mrs_killian_jones_is_myhusband]

2:15 FR rumple would never kill a kid 😢

[@SentientPotatoXIII]

Imagine if they had already buried Blue after they took care of the shadow 💀

[@divinelangene6813]

😂😂😂😂

[@TheGreatestActor]

Season 3 is supposed to feel like two different seasons. The first half was neverland and the second half was Oz

[@Huesobigotudo]

Yeeees the hype is real! 😍

[@frankducky6130]

A complete stunner!😍

[@AlexCaceres-ho1kc]

If i not correct the kiss from Hook don't work cause is not true love, reason Emma don't know Hook. (Memory loos) And also they not there "In love" yet

[@VelkanAngels]

Yeah, they keep doing this in the show, lol. Charming kissing Snow after she drank the potion to forget him. Rumple kissing Belle after Regina erased her memory again and now Hook kissing Emma after Regina replaced her memories xP. True love's kiss can't work, if the person doesn't even remember you, let alone remember loving you, lol.

[@alyce831]

Emma and hook are true love. At that point they were not a couple yet and it doesn’t work if someone doesn’t remember either.

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

Even if she remembered Hook it isn't true love. The reason Henry is so special is he is the product of Emma's True Love - with Neal/Baelfyre.

[@alyce831]

@@ChibiHoshiDragon actually sorry you are wrong. Neal and Emma were never true love. If so Neal had a crappy way of showing it. Never believed in her, didn’t want her using her magic. Was such a weak want to say something else KZbin won’t let me that he let his dad dictate not going after curse broke. Henry was a product technically of statuatory rape. Emma was 17 when Henry was conceived. Lines and actions on show disprove what you said as well. By the way Neal sent hook to Emma in s3. Also Neal was not the person she wanted to use her magic for, go read the fanfics for your toxic ship. I got the canon true love. Get over it.

[@julietisaP4L]

Your reactions are always the best! Thank you 💜

[@Marlenne-bo1xw]

In my opinion season 3 was meant to be the last one, they had two ideas for a closure (one used in ep. 11, the other at the end of this season) and that was meant to be it. They only continued because it was making money. I like to pretend OUAT actually ended at the end of this season, as it only goes downhill from there (I watched until the middle of season 5 and decided I don't want to ruin it for myself anymore). So I advise you to finish watching after season 3, ignore any open plotlines (they seem forced anyway) and just enjoy the good memories with OUAT. I cried a river at ep. 11 too. You are right, the story archs for Rumple and Regina are amazing. I love how deep those characters are and where they ended. Your reaction was super fun to watch as always.

[@thetwizzler8096]

Rent mustve been DUE. Lights cut off. Landlord knocking on the door. Furniture in boxes. Cuz Robbie Kay (pan) and Jared Gilmore (henry) acted their ASSES off. The way they copied each other’s voice cadences, their facial/body mannerisms, everything.

[@silston]

My favorite season and one of my favorite characters im so excited for this ride wicked witch is definitely in my top 3 favorite characters overall 😍😍😍

[@divinelangene6813]

Zelena❤❤

[@Brilleetoile]

I forgot so many scenes omggg. Pan was literally one of my fav villain on this show. Robbie Kay is a great actor.

true, and for me peter pan is the best villain of the season 3

[@MuhammadUmarYT]

10:24 if that flashback was before They found Emma why does he sound and look much older than whan he did cause when he did he was like 5 I think the show Should've filmed that scene earlier so flash back looks accurate

[@divinelangene6813]

They were making the story as they go, theres nothing they can do about it

[@MuhammadUmarYT]

Fair point I'm not saying there's anything wrong it just looks flaky but still only one lil thing

[@TheGreatestActor]

The actual series finale is way better than what you saw in season 3 episode 11. So just you wait

[@Nicamon]

Meh.😕Considering how you _arrive_ to that finale...

[@marinakjones]

I absolutely LOVE this season of the show!!! ❤️ And a small comment about Neal, the memories weren’t THAT far behind from what happened. He didn’t need to leave her like that, he heard a random guy he never saw and believed him, didn’t even fight and I have a feeling it was because he was too scared of his father. I mean, the first thing that he didn’t after seeing Emma again after years was scream and blame her to take his father close to him again. He didn’t even asked if she knew, he just blamed her. Again, never asking and just doing his own thing. He is a nice guy, don’t get me wrong, but he’s not this hero, you know?! At least in my humble opinion lol

[@divinelangene6813]

Nope, not your opinion, you are 100% correct

[@marinakjones]

@@divinelangene6813 there's a lot of people who think differently lol but for me there's also the fact that he KNEW he was 28839484 years and still dated a minor. She was 16! That's gross.

[@Nicamon]

@@marinakjones And it's not equally gross for Hook(who is _also_ I don't know how many centuries old)to date the mother of the son of the kid he tried to adopt?!?😵

[@marinakjones]

@@Nicamon who’s talking about Hook?! I’m talking about Neal only. And no. Emma is not a minor anymore, now she can date anyone she wants: Hook, Neal, Regina, August, Ruby, idk. I’m not taking about the age difference like considering our perception in the normal world, I’m just talking about an OLDER MAN (knowing his own age) dating a minor, a girl! That’s my only point here.

[@Nicamon]

@@marinakjones Fine. Just know that age of consent is not the same in the whole world and Neal was,overall,a good man,he wasn't a creep who was"dating"a minor after the other just to satisfy a sick power dynamic. He was sincerely in love. So I personally don't find the age gap _that_ big of an issue _if_ the only problem you have with that is Emma being 17 and not 18(1 year doesn't objectively do that much of a difference,let's be honest). And,if I remember correctly,Neal was like 21,not _that_ older,if we don't consider the Neverland plus years. They just chose a _very wrong actor_ to play him!X-PPP

[@kreatywnanazwa1557]

What a great redemtion Rumple has i sure hope the writers don't ruin it just because they don't have any other interesting villains

[@divinelangene6813]

Rumples later motivations dont even make sense, ay, disaster

[@acratistrevour3901]

"Why can't Neil just leave?" This is the oversight the writers made.

[@Nicamon]

Otherwise called"plot hole". One of many,from now on.X-(((

[@acratistrevour3901]

@@Nicamon True!

[@meentje568]

@@Nicamon it is not a plot hole. Them going back to the EF isn't about the first curse, but about where they were born, and Neil was born in the EF. So was Emma, but she can stay because she is the savior.

[@Nicamon]

​@@meentje568 But being"the Savior"IS linked to the 1st Curse!Actually,Emma still being called"the Savior"for the entirety of the show is a big stretch because her only job as a Savior was to break *_Regina's_* Curse so that Rumplestiltskin could leave the town and go looking for Baelfire!The fact itself that _Regina_ is breaking Pan's Curse makes *Regina* the new Savior,if you think about it! *SPOILER* And if you remember the whole show you'll realize that,overall,Regina has been the Savior *_more often_* than Emma!SHE broke Pan's Curse,SHE helped Snow&David splitting Snow's heart in 2,SHE defeated Zelena _using Light Magic_ and _she_ saved everyone in S7 since Emma *wasn't even there!!* The Main Savior of the show *IS REGINA.* 💙

[@StellaLoreley]

Don’t worry, you’ll get a deeper answer to why Pan hates Rumple so much (you’ll have to wait a while). And I’m afraid it is a valid reason, not morally, they don’t make him have a redemption or anything like that, but considering who he is, his reason to start hating his child makes sense and makes him even more horrible. That being said, as a little clue to anyone who doesn’t know, this reason isn’t even unheard of in our world, it happens a lot from what I’ve heard, but my sources are mostly medical dramas Ok, I’m done with the riddle, now let’s wait until she gets there

[@divinelangene6813]

Fiona?

@@divinelangene6813 yup, because she “”“dies”””

[@divinelangene6813]

@@StellaLoreley I think I need to rewatch ouat

[@Nicamon]

​@@StellaLoreley It's been a while since I watched OUaT and I can remeber the earlier seasons much better than the latter(since the show kept getting progressively worse and I lost the will to rewatch the episodes more than once!X-P)so I can't remember this reason you're talking about or how much valid it was...🤔I mean..to me the reason:"I was never meant to be a father."would be enough.🤷‍♂ SPOILER I remember Rumple's _mother_ was involved somehow...but I can't remember specifically what she did...🤔I mean...I guess she went away,at some point,leaving the baby with Malcom but,again,if he thought he wasn't the right person to raise him,why didn't he just _drop him_ somewhere like Co(b)ra did with Zelena?!?!😵

[@StellaLoreley]

@@Nicamon yeah, it’s because he thought Fiona died (the fairies told him that because they didn’t want to tell him that she had become evil and now was trapped), so he did the most logical thing, names his child an awful name (according to him) and hated his child. Why didn’t he give him away? Great question, but also, he eventually did in a worse way that Cora did, so
