Dark Emma continues her reign in Once Upon a Time’s latest episode.
ThisOnce Upon a Timereview contains spoilers.
Jennifer Morrisons acting choices while playing Emma as dark this season are strong, strong, strong.
They are also a bit at odds with the hair and makeup choices made by the design team.
This might seem like a strange thought to start a review with, but I stand by it.
She anchors the episode.
We are all watching her just as closely as the rest of the town of Storybrooke is watching her.
We know they can do better!
Observe Reginas entire mayoral suite, right?
As far as curses go, this was subpar.
I was sitting there chanting, Explode, explode, explode, oh like, like, like explode.
Sadly, no one exploded.
But a badly animated flying titty-fury monster came and tried to drag off Robin, so that was fun!
Regina and Emmas relationship is the one to watch this season.
These two balance each other, they are great dramatic foils.
No doubts (other than Regina herself) that she can save the town.
But the town seems universally convinced of Emmas frailty.
Its an interesting turn.
Best Death and/or Maiming:
Gotta be David straight-up murdering Percival.
Though, the titty-fury maiming Robin in the present was pretty good too.
