Once Upon A Time Rewatch: 6x18 Where Bluebirds Fly
Tumblr media
Whoop! Whoop! Zel Zel centric!
The yellow brick road! I wish the characters had an adventure in Oz so weā€™d get to explore it a bit more like we did Wonderland and Neverland.
Back off! Leave young Zel alone! Is magic not a common thing in Oz?
Aww this friendship is adorable. I kinda wish his name was Boq though to tie in with Wickedā€™s tin man, but they already included Boq.
It always makes me so sad seeing young Zelena. She was so sweet and her father is just the worst! She deserved so much better. She must have gotten her kindness from the little time she spent with her adoptive mothers, cause goodness knows her other three parents are evil. If she was raised by Cora to be Queen, Iā€™m not sure sheā€™d have had the heart to rule through fear like Cora no doubt would have wanted.
Get off baby Robin, you bitch!ā€Æ
No you canā€™t hold her a little longer.
The Black Fairy: ā€œI never grow tired of that new baby smell.ā€ She is so freaking creepy.
Sheā€™s manipulating you, Zelly!
To be fair Zelena was almost that level of creepy when it came to Snowingā€™s baby back in s3.ā€Æ
Lol. Poor Snow.
Okay. It is pretty adorable that Snow has been planning Emmaā€™s wedding since after the first curse haha.
Help! Snowā€™s being super adorabubble!!
The fact that Zelena is probably Belleā€™s closest friend at this point lol. Poor Belle. I wish the others cared about her more but I do enjoy her dynamic with Zelena.
Zelena, donā€™t do it, girl!
Another entrance to the mines?
Other than Stanum (probably breifly) and briefly Glinda (the two-faced biatch) I donā€™t think Zelena has ever had any friends. She just had her horrible father growing up and that was it, no wonder she craved love so much. Sheā€™s always been alone and has known only hatred for something she canā€™t control (her magic).
Oh, so the Witch of the North is wicked too? Interesting. I wonder if she fell out with Glinda or Glinda turned on her too. I wanna know more about the Wicked Witch of the North! And heck, I wanna know what happened to the Witch of the East too!
Reginaā€™s come to save sis!
God, these two fighting like children again lol.
Even though theyā€™re fighting, Reginaā€™s instinct is still to protect big sis from falling rock.
Getting married at Grannyā€™s lol. But donā€™t they end up getting married on top of Grannyā€™s or something?
David still not over Whale. Dude, you almost got Kathryn pregnant! You know what, itā€™s really messed up that they slept with others while cursed, even though they wouldnā€™t have if they werenā€™t under its influence.ā€Æ
I think that deep down, Zelena just wanted a mother again. We still donā€™t know when her adoptive mother died but I think Zelena was really young. She was the only person to show her love and since Zelena going back in time may not prevent her death, she is desperate to find that love again from her other mother. She will do anything to have that again and thatā€™s why sheā€™s often so desperate to prove herself, she thinks power is the only way to win Coraā€™s affections. Itā€™s the only thing that will make her mother, the only person she believes can love her, show her the love she so desperately craves.
Itā€™s the king of the forest!ā€Æ
Why is a Lion in a forest? Or tigers? Iā€™m not even gonna ask.
Is Gideon more powerful than Regina? He knocked her down pretty easily.ā€Æ
The Black fairy playing hide and seek with the Wicked Witch of the West.
Go Zel Zel!
This scene is so cool!
The Black Fairy can deflect magic? Weird that Blue hasnā€™t been shown to do that. I guess they have different power sets.
There Regina goes again. She is getting flipped around so easily today lol.
Yes! Thank you! Zelena is stronger than Regina confirmed. I was afraid they were going back on what theyā€™d established in s3. Sheā€™s supposed to be more powerful than Cora, according to Rumple, who I think is easily more powerful than Regina. Iā€™m gonna do a magic ranking one day.ā€Æ
Magic is really affected by emotions. So because Zelenaā€™s emotions are unstable, that makes her magic unstable? Interesting. I love it being connected to their emotions.ā€Æ
Whatā€™s she using Zelenaā€™s magic to do?
That lion is huge!
Oh, she made it into a scaredy cat. I wonder if it can talk.
Donā€™t say that Regina. Zelena needs you. You need each other deep down. Just wait till s7, youā€™ll be besties then!
Even though Reginaā€™s hypocrisy this season gets to me a lot, Iā€™m glad that Regina and Zelenaā€™s sisterhood was tested and they didnā€™t instantly become besties. It makes their friendship all the more real and worth the ride in s7.
Snow: ā€œAnd if she wanted to get married in a bathroom it would be perfect and exactly what itā€™s supposed to be.ā€ Oh my God lmao! That would have been the best!ā€Æ
Umm, how did the crystal summon a tornado portal?
I misremembered. I thought Stanum knew it would drain her magic but he seems like heā€™s telling the truth that he didnā€™t.
Heā€™ll be alright. Dorothy will help him.
But what will she do with the crystals?ā€Æ
Zelena: ā€œYouā€™re all Iā€™ve got, Regina.ā€
I actually want to cry. This was so brave of Zelena. You can tell how much the idea of destroying her magic breaks her. It is a part of her. Sheā€™s had it since the day she was born. Can you imagine ripping away something that is that ingrained in who you are and have always been? It makes me so upset but it was important for her development.ā€Æ
I wanna hug Zelena!ā€Æ
It looks painful. I imagine it would be ripping away a part of yourself like that.ā€Æ
Aww Regina is so proud of her sis and hugs her. I canā€™t!!
God I was so distraught when they took Zelenaā€™s magic. You donā€™t understand. I think I still would be extremely distraught if she hadnā€™t gotten magic back in s7. The important thing was, much like Harry Potter meant to die when Voldemort struck him in the Deathly Hallows, Zelena meant for her magic to be gone forever and that is a bigger sacrifice for her than anyone will ever understand, akin to sacrificing her life. I wasnā€™t sure she ever would get it back but I wish Robin hadnā€™t given up her magic. It was very nice of her to do that for her mother, whoā€™s magic was such an important part of her life but can you imagine mother and daughter and Alice and Robin kicking ass with their magic. In my head, Robin gets magic back a short time after the s7 finale.ā€Æ
Why oh why didnā€™t we get more of a Black Fairy and Blue Fairy interaction in Storybrooke? At least we get some in the flashbacks next week.
She really hates her.
I canā€™t remember why Rumple canā€™t know why his mother gave him up. Guess Iā€™ll find out soon!
This was such a great and important episode for my girl, Zelena. So proud of her. What an emotional rollercoaster!ā€Æ

Weā€™re off to see the Wizard! ā€“ The Yellow Brick Road Home [TWD TD Theory] - LONG POST!
"But as the hours passed and nothing terrible happened, she stopped worrying and resolved to wait calmly and see what the future would bring.... At last, she crawled over the swaying floor to her bed and laid down upon it. And Toto lay down beside her.... In spite of the swaying of the house and the wailing of the wind, Dorothy soon closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.ā€
In Episode 9X03, Rick and Michonne had a fun day with Judith. Before they were completely interrupted by everyone being assholes, Rick was reading to Judith. The book he was reading? ā€œThe Wonderful Wizard of Ozā€ by L Frank Baum. A very popular childrenā€™s novel that has seen several reprints since it was published in Chicago in the early 1900. The title would be commonly known as/shortened to ā€œThe Wizard of Ozā€ and would have several reprints over the years.
If you donā€™t know the story of the ā€œThe Wonderful Wizard of Ozā€, you live under a rock (although to be fair, some people did not grow up with WoO so I guess I shouldnā€™t be mean like that). The story follows Dorothy, a farm girl from Kansas, and her dog Toto and chronicles their adventure in the Magical Land of Oz after they are swept up by a cyclone while sheā€™s in her home. The house is dropped into Munchkin Country and right on-top of the evil Munchkin Country ruler, The Wicked Witch of the East. The Good Witch of the North shows up and Dorothy is given the Witch of the Eastā€™s magical Silver Slippers as a gratitude gift from three of the Munchkins.
The Good Witch tells Dorothy that the only way she is gonna be able to get home is to go to the Emerald City and ask the great and powerful Wizard of Oz to help her. So Dorothy receives a kiss from the Good Witch on her forehead, giving her magical protection from harm, and Dorothy sets out on her way with Toto.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz takes place over a set of days, unlike depicted in the film. Along the way, Dorothy meets a colorful array of creatures ā€“ Boq the Munchkin, a Scarecrow stuck on a pole which she frees him from, a Tin Woodman she applies oil to a rusted-up and allows him to move again, and meets the Cowardly Lion. Each of these last three ā€“ The Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion ā€“ are in search of something to make them feel better. The Scarecrow wants a brain because he doesnā€™t have one since heā€™s only made of straw, the Tin Woodman wants a heart to feel love and have a beat, and the Cowardly Lion wants courage so heā€™s not afraid all the time. They each end up accompanying Dorothy on her way to the Emerald City, hoping the Wizard will be of help for what they need.
Now I donā€™t wanna tell the whole story since itā€™s a bit ridiculous to, but let me just point out that this story follows a young girl ā€“ lost in another world she was forcefully sucked into ā€“ and along the way she meets a set of characters each looking for something as well. When she gets where she needs to be, it turns out she canā€™t get back home until she deals with this strange world longer. She is given a task to defeat The Wicked Witch of the West.
When Dorothy heads on her way to go up against this Wicked Witch, a number of things happen. The witch spies Dorothy and the gang coming for her with her powerful telescopic eye. She sends a pack of 40 great wolves ā€“ yes, WOLVES ā€“ after Dorothy and her friends, but theyā€™re all killed by the Tin Man and his axe (An AXE! Guys, an axe!). So the witch sends a murder of 40 wild crows after them, but the Scarecrows kills them all by breaking their necks. So the Wicked Witch summons a swarm of black bees to sting them, but they are killed when they try to sting the Tin Woodman while the Scarecrow's straw hides the others. She sends her Winkie slaves but the Cowardly Lion repels them. Finally, she uses the power of a Gold Cap to send her winged monkeys to capture Dorothy, Toto, and the Cowardly Lion. The monkeys unstuff the Scarecrow and dents the Tin Woodman before Dorothy is whisked to the witch and is forced to become the witchā€™s slave all while the witch is trying to find a way to get Dorothy's Silver Shoes. She also tries to force the Cowardly Lion into submission by starving him but Dorothy sneaks him food (I forgot how dark this damn book was lol).
Long story short, Dorothy ends up defeating the Wicked Witch of the West when she ā€“ in anger at being tricked out of a slipper after the witch makes her trip over an invisible bar ā€“ throws water on the witch and causes her to melt (this was believed to be made the witches of the books weakness because of the old held belief that water is effective in purifying the soul and combating evil). Thereā€™s a whole other mess that happens but eventually Dorothy is able to return home. Iā€™ll talk more about that in a bit. Again, not trying to tell the whole damn story (even though I kind of already didā€¦ Yeah that didnā€™t work out how I tried lol).
How did Dorothy get home? The Silver Slippers. The Good Witch of the North ā€“ Glinda ā€“ reveals to Dorothy that the Silver Slippers have the power to take her anywhere she wishes to go, giving the lesson that you always have the tools to get where you want with you, always. Meaning if you think work for it, you can always find your way home or back to the ones you love and who love you or accomplish anything. This is enforced by how the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion show attributes that they wanted ā€“ The scarecrow with the brains to use himself as a shield to get Dorothy and the others hidden from the bees, the Tin Woodman having the ā€œheartā€ to stick by Dorothy throughout everything, and the Cowardly Lion by thwarting Winkie slaves by being brave.
The childrenā€™s novel obviously has differences from the movie ā€“ a lot of differences really ā€“ and so people donā€™t always know about all the characters and all the adventures and all the dark shit that happens in this book.
But isnā€™t it interesting that Dorothy is facing of against things that can be associated with TWD in terms of when Dorothy is facing the Witch and facing the lie that Oz has given the people of Emerald City. First off Emereld City is presented in a way that itā€™s a perfectly safe place and a perfectly peaceful place. But it turns out it has a problem ā€“ the Wicked Witch of the West has the neighboring County (The Winkieā€™s) under her thumb.
Hereā€™s the thing about the Land of Oz; Its heavily color coordinated. The Winkie Country is yellow and the inhabitants wear a lot of yellow and have yellow tinted skin. Gillikin Country is purple with many of the land surroundings being purple and the inhabitants wearing purple. Quadling Country is depicted in red and like the others, the land is distinguished by its red surroundings and the locals wearing red. Then of course thereā€™s Munchkin Country ā€“ where Dorothy lands ā€“ and itā€™s Blue and much of the residentsā€™ wear blue and much of the surroundings are Blue. Finally, thereā€™s the capital - Emerald City ā€“ which is the one place that isnā€™t really the color they say it is because on the outside, the walls are green but the city itself is not and the wizard decreeā€™s the everyone must wear green-tinted eyeglasses.
If you think about it, this could apply to a specific place on TWDā€¦ Terminus. In the show, Terminus is supposed to be a safe haven, a sanctuary for the future. It presents itself as one way to lure people in and then traps them. Of course this isnā€™t what Emerald City does, but it does present itself one way on the outside but on the inside itā€™s not what it seems for many reasons ā€“ itā€™s not actually green and the Wizard is a fake with no magic to his name.
Now, I want you all to take a look at somethingā€¦ Familiar.
Tumblr media
The good old Terminus mapā€¦ Anyone see something interesting about this map? Wellā€¦ Let me show you something fun to go with it and take a minuteā€¦
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You see what we have? Terminus is symbolized by a starā€¦ On the flag representing The Land of Oz, Emerald City is a star. Red, Green, and Blue are main colors on mapā€¦ So we have Munchkin County and Quadling County and Emerald City represented on the mapā€¦ Meaning the railroad tracks are the Yellow Brick Road. And the Yellow Brick Road in every country leads everyone to the Emerald Cityā€¦ Terminus is an Emerald City but with a dark twist.
It occurred to me that Rick in 9x05 [What Comes After] that Rick was Dorothy. In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy is in a world thatā€™s different in that things are familiar to Dorothy but theyā€™re not the exact same. She knows what a lion is, what Scarecrow are, and what a Woodman is. But Lionā€™s and Scarecrows donā€™t talk and Woodman arenā€™t made of Metal. Thereā€™s not wicked witch or magic and wizards. Thereā€™s things she knows donā€™t really exist but theyā€™re things she also knows aboutā€¦ Which makes me wonder if Rickā€™s fever dream was his stumble into a world he knows but doesnā€™tā€¦ But the Helicopter became his tornado that lifts him into a new worldā€¦ If everything sort of played backwards for Rick.
Rickā€™s fever dream is a topsy turvey thing. The definition of Topsy Turvey is ā€œin utter confusion or disorderā€ and ā€œwith the top or head downwardā€ ā€“ basically, everything is backwards. Think of the song from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. One of the lyrics is "Once a year we throw a party here in town / Once a year we turn all Paris upside down / Ev'ry man's a king and ev'ry king's a clown / Once again it's Topsy Turvy Day" and "Dross is gold and weeds are a bouquet / That's the way on Topsy Turvy Day". The song literally explains that everything is the opposite of what is known. ā€œDross is Goldā€ ā€“ Dross is scummy junk that is useful in the trash. ā€œWeeds are a bouquetā€ ā€“ A weed is plant that is considered undesirable in a particular situation like when they grow in farm fields and gardens or on your lawn so itā€™s not something youā€™d want in a bouquet. So itā€™s things that are not what they usually areā€¦
A fever dream is basically described as an intense or confusing dream brought on by a fever. Being severely damaged or suffering a sudden infection ā€“ which, I mean, Rick landed on a fucking rusted rod so yeah Iā€™d say he freaking is suffering from a sudden infection to his body from the metal rod and also suffering intense pain as his body fights the injury and thus being severly damaged ā€“ will trigger someone to have a fever dream. Rickā€™s temperature probably rose along with his blood pressure because of a sudden puncture and with the way your brain works, a fever can produce waking hallucinations and vivid imagery and intense nightmares. Again, Rickā€™s situation.
But the more I thought about it and really turned this over in my head I began to realize that Rick didnā€™t fall into a Land of Ozā€¦ He fell into Wonderland. Okay so stick with me for a bit cause I promise Iā€™ll make sense ā€“ hopefully ā€“ to what I mean by this.
The Helicopter lifting Rick up was the twister lifting Dorothy into a new land. But before thatā€¦ Rick had to go through a Wonderlandā€¦ Fun time, everyone. Thereā€™s been multiple studies of how The Wizard of Oz and Alice and Wonderlandā€¦ Are very similar books.
Letā€™s step back from Rick a bit to talk about ā€œThe Wonderful Wizard of Ozā€ and ā€œAliceā€™s Adventure in Wonderlandā€ (Iā€™ll mostly be talking about the books but Iā€™ll be mentioning the movies to ā€“ mostly the Disney version of Alice and the 1939 Judy Garland version of Dorothy as theyā€™re just as well known as the originals).
What are some simple things that the books have in common? Well both characters are female, both have an animal companion of sort (though Toto stays with Dorothy through Oz while Dinah does not come to Wonderland), both are depicted in white and blue coloring ā€“ though inverted (ā€œThe color of trust. Blue, the shade of the sea and the sky, is thought to induce calm and convey tranquility, serenity and peace. The popular color instills confidence and inspires feelings of trust, loyalty, integrity and responsibility. Ā Cool blue is conservative and can also be perceived as aloof. Blue tends to suppress the appetite ā€“ there are not many foods associated with blue in natureā€ (x) and ā€œ"White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection. White means safety, purity, and cleanliness. As opposed to black, white usually has a positive connotation. White can represent a successful beginning. In heraldry, white depicts faith and purity... white is associated with coolness and cleanliness because it's the color of snow... White is an appropriate color for charitable organizations; angels are usually imagined wearing white clothes. White is associated with hospitals, doctors, and sterility..." (x) ), both are tossed into a world they donā€™t know, both must endure their travels through the world they arenā€™t familiar with, both are exposed to strange creatures that do not normally speak, both are a bit disappointed by what they find at the end of their trek (the wizard is a fake and canā€™t get Dorothy home, the Queen and everyone at the castle are completely full of nonsense and no help at all), thereā€™s drug like references in both (Alice with the cake that makes her change and the caterpillar smoking, Dorothy with the poppy field that puts her to sleep and the snow that wakes her up), and both are returned to normal by a simple solution (The Magic Shoes that help her wake up, Alice literally waking up).
Itā€™s really no wonder they have similarities. Alice Adventure in Wonderland was written in 1865 and The Wizard of Oz was written in the 1900s. Itā€™s highly probable that Lewis Carroll helped inspire L Frank Baum, as many writers inspire one another. Makes sense to use the same element that worked for someone else and make it your own with a few twists and turns (isnā€™t that still kind of plagerismā€¦ Hmmm lol)
Anyway, keeping all that in mind and going back to Rick in his fever dream, we have established that Rick is Dorothy that fell into Wonderland before being whisked up by the ā€œtwisterā€ (Helicopter). And WHO is in Wonderland ā€“ in Rickā€™s fever dream ā€“ that is a character that is played by someone who just RECENTLY debut in a music rap video as Alice herself?
Emily Kinney. Beth Greene.
Now now, I know. Itā€™s very obvious that itā€™s a double playing Beth in the body pileā€¦ But we still have Beth Greene and Emily Kinney is Beth Greeneā€™s celebrity named actorā€¦ Emily was featured in THIS VIDEO playing Alice from ALICE IN WONDERLAND with Whitney Avalon playing Dorothy from THE WIZARD OF OZā€¦ Rick read the book to Judith in episode 9X03 WARNING SIGNS and that aired on OCT 21ST. Rickā€™s final episode was 9x05 WHAT COMES AFTER and that aired on NOV 4TH. The video was posted NOV 9TH and thatā€™s two days before we end up in the time jump with 9X06 WHO ARE YOU NOW?
The whole thingā€¦ It struck me asā€¦ Way to well timed. Was way to coincidental. Having Rick read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and then five days later, Emily is acting/rapping/singing in a video where she plays another famous character against a Dorothyā€¦ Thatā€™s way toā€¦ Thatā€™s to coincidental. Ā To me, that screams advertisement connection. A sort of ā€œHey, donā€™t forget about me!ā€ wave of the handā€¦
A lot of people in TD have talked about Alice in Wonderland having connections to Beth and the TD crew before. Back during Season 5, we had promo cast pictures that had charactersā€¦ Looking through broken glass. Notable ā€“ you guessed it ā€“ Rick Grimes himself andā€¦ Carol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This got me thinking of something way back when TD was growing and thrivingā€¦ Who is the other person that had the last close connection to Beth? Carolā€¦. See thereā€™s something that Iā€™ve been debating and thinking on and off about for the last three almost four years since Codaā€¦ We never saw Carol wake up and we never saw any interaction between her and Beth. The last thing we saw with any talking was Beth telling Carol ā€œI just wanted you to know that I was hereā€ while saving the womanā€™s life and while she was passed out. Thatā€™s it. We didnā€™t seen anything between them after that and suddenly Carol is awake and alive.
There was a post that went up about people believing Beth was drunk during the exchange in the Hallway (Found here) and I commented that I do not think Beth was drunk but that someone else was drunk or we were experiencing someone elseā€™s tension / view. Tyreese, Carol, and Sasha were my main three with Rick pulling in close. Especially since the angle changes on us right after everyone comes into the hallway and again after Shepard says ā€œstand down, it was just about herā€. Someone was uneasy during this exchange and then everything started leveling out as Daryl lowered his gun after Carol places a hand on his arm.
I didnā€™t really go into detail about why Tyreese, Carol, and Sasha are the ones I focus on. Real quick, itā€™s because of Tyreese and how thereā€™s so much focus on him for his death episode and how we have this whole hallucination scene happeningā€¦ Thereā€™s guilt coming from Tyreese and it was HIS idea to go the peaceful route for the exchange instead of going in guns blazing. For Carol, she was injected with medication and then is suddenly awake and in a wheelchair and then suddenly on her feet like there was a skip in what was happening ā€“ a lag in perception of what someone is doing. Sasha I was seeing because she was the one who let Lamson get away and suffered a rather hard hit that knocked her out and might have caused a milled concussion from how she hit the wall and was knocked out and thus could have an effect on her view of things.
Now ā€“ jumping to season nine and looking at things and having this whole The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Alice Adventure in Wonderland train of thought ā€“ looking back at the imagesā€¦ Iā€™m stuck on the line Gimple said about ā€œnot everything is what it seemsā€ in terms of Bethā€™s story. Thatā€™s a whole thing about AAiW and TWWoO is that ā€œnothing is what it seemsā€ for these worlds.
A lot of this is me stretching things, putting my own thoughts and feelings into itā€¦ But I like to think I can try to be real with some of my theories. Donā€™t get me wrong, I fall through the realm of ā€œthatā€™s ridiculousā€ sometimes with them, but I do try my best to really see the connections and imagery in thingsā€¦
In Season 5 they had Rick and Carol looking through broken glass and no one else in their promo pics. Not even Darylā€™s promo picture is anything around broken glass, but instead in a warehouse with Rickā€¦ Everyone else but Rick and Carol are heavily shown in this warehouse. But Rick is outside and being seen through broken glass with Carol inside looking out the broken glassā€¦ In season 5 where we had Coda and lost Beth.
Iā€™m wondering if maybe Gimple took these elements of ā€œnothing is what it seemsā€ and decided to apply it to a mystery around Bethā€¦ And Carol and Beth are top checker pieces around it. Since I believe more than ever now, that Rick or Carol were the ones we were seeing the exchange through. I think that from the moment the prison fell, Rick has been Dorothy making his way to the Emerald City, being disappointed (obviously) by it and had to have a wicked witch defeated before he could find his way ā€œhomeā€ ā€“ AKA to Alexandria, Rickā€™s ā€œSilver Slippersā€.
Now we have Carol left ā€“ the other one by the broken glass ā€“ and I believe she is the one reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Alice Adventure in Wonderland. Carol is the one who we saw Bethā€™s ā€œDeathā€ through.
And dude I donā€™t even know if Iā€™m making any sense. Just know that I believe that this is one big mesh of elements of THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ and ALICE ADVENTURE IN WONDERLAND and Carol is the reader, Rick was Dorothy, and Beth is Alice and we have yet to see Aliceā€™s story completely yet.
ā€¦ Yeah I canā€™t brain this theory anymore so if you all think you can add something to this thatā€™s more sensible and put together, pleasssee feel free to say something.

Once Upon A Time Rewatch: 3x20 Kansas
Tumblr media
Aw! Last episode of season 3 with Zel Zel! Iā€™m gonna miss her so much!! Ā 
I really love this episode! Ā 
Poor Snow!
Glindaā€™s such a biatch. I hate the way she just turns on Zelena when Dorothy comes along.
Iā€™m so mad about Charmingā€™s sword being broken. Thatā€™s my favourite sword!
Wait, Zelena broke through Emmaā€™s protection spell I think. Regina said that sheā€™d only be able to do that if her brand of magic was stronger than Emmaā€™s.
Wouldnā€™t it be better if Emma and Regina went to face Zelena together?
Archie and Henry scene! Itā€™s been so long! There was a time when Archie was Henryā€™s only friend. Adorable buddies!
Yeah Emma, no way is Henry going with you to New York. He wants to stay in Storybrooke. Iā€™d have like to see Emma have that conversation with Regina and Henry.
Itā€™s so sad that Emma wants to leave Storybrooke when she was perfectly content being there in season 2. I guess Neverland changed her perspective but then and again she was also so sad to be separated from her family in ā€˜Going Home.ā€™
Zelena to Emma and Hook: ā€œAww. You two are so adorable.ā€ Sheā€™s such a hardcore cs shipper, bless her!
Hey! The Witch of the North is Art from Tower Prep! I love Art! Sheā€™s amazing!
How did they know Zelena was brought to Oz by a cyclone? Ā 
I find it so shady that Glinda gave Zelena that necklace. Her and the Blue Fairy would get along.
I wonder if the flashing lights when Snowā€™s giving birth are because of Zelena or because baby Neal has magic.
I love the way Zelena just walks into the hospital, knocking everyone out with the flick of her wrist.
Look at the lil bubba!
Lol! Poor Whale!
Omg poor Snow and Charming! Being separated from their baby moments after birth again!
Poor Zelena. They were just using her! Is Dorothy even a witch? I donā€™t think she is!
Dorothy canā€™t be the sorceress in the prophecy. I could have sworn she didnā€™t have magic when she met Ruby.
I call bullcrap in Regina being able to do light magic all of a sudden!
What did that water do to Zelena? It must be magic water because otherwise how does she bathe? Or was it all an act for some reason?
Glinda just switches like a shady biatch. One minute sheā€™s seemingly trying to help Zelena, the next sheā€™s praising Dorothy for destroying her!
Follow the yellow brick road!
Zelena just said that Neal was the product of the truest love. Does that mean Snow and Charming have the truest love? Iā€™m down for that!
I wonder, if Zelena has gone back to the time she wanted to, would she have killed her biological father to keep him quiet about Coraā€™s pregnancy.
You go Zel Zel! Go be a baby again! Be freeee!
My bby broke the laws of magic!!
Weee! Rumple and Zelena be playing bowling with the Charmings!
Regina having light magic just when they needed it is such bullcrap! They chose the easy way out! I do not accept this as canon. It makes me so mad!
Emmaā€™s a big sister! And Charming got a son like Ruth said he always wanted. Not that he doesnā€™t love Emma equally!
Lol. Rumple dragging Zelena across the floor telekinetically is hilarious!
And Dorothy couldnā€™t have been the sorceress to unseat the greatest evil because she went home and didnā€™t take the seat. So, I wonder what the prophecy was really about.
Did Zelena just banish Glinda to another realm without a portal or slippers or anything but her own magic??! Thatā€™s powerful stuff! I wonder if she could have banished Rumple to the LWOM like that.
Wait, Rumple just admitted that not everything he did whilst Zelenaā€™s prisoner was always her! But why would he do those things?
Why would Rumple pretend to give Belle the dagger? Just for it to seem romantic or like he trusts her implicitly?
They got their baby back!
I forget how Emma gets her magic back.
Zelenaā€™s fear when she realises Rumple has the dagger! I freaking jumped! My poor baby! Please donā€™t hurt her Rumple!!
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
You donā€™t know how much I cried when I thought weā€™d never see her again!
Why turn her to porcelain?!
I should have known sheā€™d be back when she disappeared in a puff of smoke and triggered the time travel spell. I think I always held out hope!
