Speaking of creepy, the scene where Rumple is about to kiss Belle who's actually Pan's shadow? Ew. (Mind, I adored that scene, where Regina has to snap him out of it.)

That was so creepy!!! I loved Regina having to snap him out of it as well. I really liked Rumple's and Regina's interactions when they met up again in Neverland. I love how she had lost patience with everyone else and went off to find him so they could actually get stuff done and he she finds him like that.

I'm a bit disappointed with Wendy's character, I feel like she was someone with more agency in the novel (and the Disney movie, for that matter), and more - power, really. I wonder if we'll see more of her, I'd like to.

I don't really remember the Disney movie much because I haven't seen it since I was a kid and to be honest it wasn't one of my favorite stories. And I haven't read the novel so I'm not particularly attached to Wendy as a character, though I know a lot of people are and a lot were disappointed in how she was presented in this show.

To me I felt the whole thing was really creepy with the way she was kept in a cage on the island all that time and I don't feel they really did much with her character. I feel that they had her return to this season because it was expected since they were doing Neverland but they didn't really have that much for her and didn't do much with her that really mattered sadly. She was used to give Henry a reason to "save magic and Neverland" but not much beyond that.

...er, I'm new to this, it's okay to jump into a conversation like this, right?

Totally, that's the idea!
When the new season starts up I'll start a new comment thread for each new episode that way anyone can jump in and participate in a particular epiodes' discusion anytime they want. Even if you don't watch an episode right away (since a lot of people don't these days) you can check for the comment thread later whenever you get around to watching a particular episode and jump in anytime.

Oh God, the Rumple+Regina scenes in that episode were the best. And this → I love how she had lost patience with everyone else and went off to find him so they could actually get stuff done and he she finds him like that - yes! Poor Regina with her "not you as well!", so alone. I liked her shock later, when she finds out that perhaps Rumple isn't on her side (what with the prophesy) – admittedly, there was no good reason to assume he didn't want to save Henry, and it all turned out all right, but she's always so surprised.

Ah, I loved the Disney movie, though I haven't seen it in years. I think I'm fine with the creepiness of her being kept in a cage: there's a fitting sense of child-cruelty and literalness to it, if that makes sense (putting people in cages is something I associate with children's stories villains).
The thing is, Wendy in that movie and the book is very important to Pan, and holds a certain amount of power, so it's a but sad to see her reduced to such a passive role where it it isn't even important that she's the one being held here (Henry would have choosen to save magic for someone else too). Though I guess I'm glad there was no sense of romance between them her and Pan, considering. What you say about them simply not having planned for anything for her to do makes a lot of sense, that seems likely (to be honest, I'd have liked it better if she'd just lived her life her 'our' world and had died of natural causes, and I hope perhaps there's a compelling plot reason why they couldn't do that).

When the new season starts up I'll start a new comment thread for each new episode that way anyone can jump in and participate in a particular epiodes' discusion anytime they want. Even if you don't watch an episode right away (since a lot of people don't these days) you can check for the comment thread later whenever you get around to watching a particular episode and jump in anytime.
That sounds great! I hope I'll be able to participate!
