From strands of your parents’ hair, I made the most powerful potion in all the realm. So powerful, that when I created the dark curse, I placed a single drop on the parchment. Just a little safety valve. Once Upon a Time (2011–2018) 1.22 A Land Without Magic

Series rewatch thoughts - 1.22 “A Land Without Magic”

This finale is really one of the best from the show’s run. It’s not the most flashy in terms of the quest/adventure finales we had in later seasons, but it’s the one that really changed the game in terms of the direction of the show. Everything changed for all the characters in this finale, which is what makes it so interesting.

First off, it was great to see Graham again, and him helping David was the proof that someone can act for themselves even when someone else has their heart. Although, when Regina was threatening him later, it looked like she was about to reach into his chest, so is it possible she would be able to crush his heart by reaching into his chest? It’s not likely she gave his heart back, since we know she has it later in Storybrooke.

Finally Emma believes in magic! I do think it’s good how she came to the realisation gradually, and, like I said, that’s something that is born out in the last season as well, apart from Rumple, who doesn’t have that kind of patience :)

Regina says she wanted to poison Emma so she could keep Henry to herself, but I think she also wanted to keep her curse in tact. I do think maybe the curse remaining is secondary by this point, but I do think it was still part of her motivation.

It’s interesting how they both just drop the animosity when they both realise Henry could die, and of course Emma guesses that Rumple is the one who knows about magic.

And now I wonder if Rumple did believe that Regina had won, because he’s prepared for them when they come into the shop, and he knows Emma believes. He has her father’s sword waiting for her. He clearly has had foreshadowings of how this was going to go. It’s interesting to see how sullen Regina gets when she realises he knew what was going to happen all along, and, of course, he’s as smug as smug could be. And I have to say fair play to Emma. Her life is being turned upside down, but she’s taking it rather well.

I really do think it’s shitty of Rumple to trick them into thinking the magic in the egg will save Henry. I mean, yes, it is True Love that saves him, as he seems to have known it would, so he doesn’t lie about that, but he does make them believe the magic in the egg is what will do it, and sends Emma off to risk her life to retrieve it, only to take it from her. He really is out for his own gain a lot of the time.

So, now I do think that Regina was twisting things when she told Belle True Love’s Kiss could break Rumple’s curse, because Rumple says here that it’s True Love itself that can break any curse, and, I mean, that’s what happens to him in the end. It’s not the kiss: it’s the love itself. So, I don’t think we RumBellers should have been placing the importance on the kiss. It’s actually not the kiss that saves the Beast in the movies anyway: it’s Belle’s love, and that’s what happens in RumBelle’s story too.

I love the duel between Rumple and Prince Charming. That’s such a cool action sequence, and I love Robert Carlyle getting to practice a skill he already has. I don’t think that’s Charming’s cloak that Rumple is wearing, though, because Charming’s cloak was a purple-y colour, while this one is green. I think this is Rumple kind of just copying Charming.

I love the way he talks about Belle as a brief flicker of light, especially because she becomes much more than a flicker of light by the end. Belle becomes the light that helps him find his way out of that ocean of darkness. Also, Rumple, by the end of your canon story, you’ll know as much as, if not more than Prince Charming about love. Have to kind of huff at David being sceptical that Rumple could love someone, but he seems to accept it pretty easily, and then he does help him in season two.

Yay, Belle’s library!

I’d forgotten that Emma was going to kill Regina if Henry died. She was always kind of murderous, wasn’t she? Like, later on, she talks about wanting Rumple to tell her how to kill Hades, and being pleased that the sword can kill the Evil Queen, so she was never the ‘no killing’ kind of hero, like Belle is.

It’s MalEficent, not MalIficent! Honestly, no one on this show can pronounce that name properly. It’s an e, not an i. Yes, that still bugs me! Cool to see the dragon lady again, though.

I’d forgotten that David was going to leave town. I think the reunion might have been better if he’d really left and then we saw him come back in the next episode, after the hiatus. Yeah, why didn’t they do that? That would have been more exciting, I think. But also, how come Kathryn wasn’t going to use her apartment? Did she change her mind about law school?

I noticed a box very like Jefferson’s hat box in the back of the shop when Rumple was messing around with the egg, so did the props people mess up, or are there two hats???

I do love that Jefferson frees Belle, but I also kinda have to side eye him, in that he only did it because he knew Rumple would go after Regina for him, so it wasn’t for Belle’s benefit. He obviously knew she was there all that time, and only decided to release her when it suited him, so, even when they’re helping her, everyone uses Belle, which I really hate.

But I do love that reunion, though. Don’t get me wrong, the Snowing one is great after all their tribulations this season, but the RumBelle one is better for me, because he thought she was dead, so when he sees her and thinks she’s not real, so has to touch her to be sure, and then just has to hug her and starts to cry…that’s so lovely. And then the curse breaks and he can’t face her, but then she immediately says she loves him… I mean, she could say she hates him after how he threw her out and how they left things, but all she wants is to be with him.

And I think this is also where the RumBelle relationship starts to take over from Snowing in terms of narrative interest and narrative space. Because there kind of aren’t outstanding issues for Snowing to work out, or what ones there are, like the Whale issue, are played for laughs and then never spoken of again. For RumBelle, though, there’s that obvious tension between his love for her and his need for power, and there’s enough in that to keep them going for several seasons. He’s not going to change just like that, just because he has her back, but having her back changes his story fundamentally. It changes him, or causes him to think about his priorities. Not yet, though: right now, at the end of this episode, he doesn’t realise that Belle is unsure about his need for power. All he can see is that he’s getting his magic back and what he’ll be able to do with it. He doesn’t realise, yet, that he needs to take a different approach, that, in order to have her in his life, he needs to place her before his magic. All of that is to come for him, and he’ll take a couple of steps forward or back many times, and, for a long time, he’ll believe it’s possible to have both love and power, before he finally fully chooses love, and finds corresponding happiness. All of his tribulations in the coming seasons, or most of them, are to do with not fully choosing love, and I think he comes to understand that himself too.

So we end season one with that tension between RumBelle, which gets explored and causes trouble between them for many seasons yet. It’s still the best romantic journey on the show for me.

I love how, in that moment where Henry woke up, Regina didn’t care about the curse being broken: all she cared about was Henry being alive. She does seem to get annoyed when she hears True Love’s Kiss saved him, but I think maybe that’s more her being possessive of Henry than being upset about the curse after all. She is sincere when she tells Henry she does love him, and, most importantly, he believes her.

So we set up for an interesting shift in season two. Everyone is awake, magic has been returned, and a certain chess master has to rethink his priorities now that he has someone he cares for unexpectedly back in his life. Plus, Regina has to deal with her curse being broken and Rumple’s anger about Belle. I do wonder what might have happened had they decided not to break the curse at the end of the first season. What would have happened if Emma had started to believe, and they’d found some magic to save Henry, but the curse was still in tact? I think David would have left, or tried to leave. I think Rumple would have tried to protect Belle, who would have gotten to know him as Mr Gold, and maybe begun to care for him even without her memories. I also think perhaps Emma and Regina would still have sparred, but maybe come together for Henry. As it is, though, that’s not what we got: what we got was the rollercoaster of magical adventures and quests and heroism and villainy that we got, which, despite the problematic elements, was pretty damn cool all the same :)

Mayor Regina Mills Blue Suit Custom Funko (from 1.22/2.01)

This is a super simple one. Her head is Elizabeth Keen from Blacklist which is one of my standard Regina heads with her hair painted black. Her body is Angela from Mr. Robot with her suit painted navy blue with the trim detailing.

I will take commissions to replicate this funko, please contact privately to discuss price as the market for the figures in which I make these out of can change wildly. Ask me about my etsy shop.

Please note that Kristin is promoting this auction wrong. It’s not her debut script (which would have been 1.02 The Thing You Love the Most). What she has pictured here is the season 1 finale 1.22 A Land without Magic.
