It was evident that Regina loves and cares for her son from the first episode, I have always seen Emma as the one in the wrong. She walks around acting like Henry is her son and Regina has no say in anything regarding him when it is the other way around.

Thank you for another great reaction!!! I'm always so excited to see you've posted a new reaction for Once Upon a Time. :) And I really love this episode a lot. It's another one of my absolute favorite episodes from season one. For one, I really love that we get a backstory for Jiminy Cricket, which we've never gotten before in any fairytale version of Pinocchio. Also, I really love Archie's character a lot. He's definitely and easily one of my favorite of the non main characters. And Raphael Sbarge, who plays Archie/Jiminy is a very talented actor, who I really like. As for why Jiminy didn't feel like he could leave despite being within his late twenties, early thirties within the past storyline... his parents were extremely manipulative and verbally abusive... so much so that Jiminy came to hate the man he was and more so, the life he was trapped in. He saw himself to be as they were, when in truth Jiminy was a good man who simply wanted to be free. I really love this about him and the parallel into the Storybrooke world as it reveals that Jiminy was a man who took a long time to finally realize who he wanted to be like Henry tells Archie. As for why Jiminy went to Rumplestiltskin to deliver to him some of the trinkets he and his parents stole... it isn't really explained, but Rumple is a character who has his hands in everything and dealings with everyone in some form or another. Chances are, Jiminy's parents have some sort of deal with him where they have to give him a certain kind of percentage of all they steal. He is Jiminy's parents' fence essentially. Plus... in Storybrooke, Gold has all kinds of trinkets inside his pawnshop that all came over in the curse from the Enchanted Forest, though because they are the Land Without Magic, none of these items have maintained their magical properties. Also... I really love how Jiminy wished to become a cricket so he could escape from his parents. They would keep searching for him as a man, never thinking to look for him in the disguise of a cricket. I love that we get to see more of the Blue Fairy again, as she comes down from the sky to grant Jiminy's wish too. Not only does him being a cricket allow for him to escape from his life, but it allows for him to continue to help the young boy, who we learned is Geppetto, whose parents suffered from Jiminy's parents' cruelty and the potion given to him from Rumplestiltskin. Sadly, this potion back fired and turned Geppetto's parents into wooden puppets. Scary wooden puppets too, that we see in the very end within Gold's shop. The reason why Rumple wanted to take them is never explained, but he has his reasons for everything. And yes... seeing his parents as puppets most likely did instill the fascination and need in Geppetto to learn how to carve figures and puppets from wood, as he grows into the man we know him to be from Pinocchio. It's brilliant. I also love that Jiminy wants to help the boy, like Jiminy Cricket is known for being Pinocchio's conscience in the Disney movie and fairytale of Pinocchio. And I love that Jiminy and Archie has come to be Geppetto's and Marco's closest friend. As for Henry... a lot of people feel that his character is weak in the beginning of this show, but the actor who plays him... Jared Gilmore does continue to grow into the character and he improves as the show continues on. I however have loved him from the very beginning. He's adorable. Now... I love the entire storyline for Archie in this episode. I really felt badly for him when Regina threatens him if he doesn't crush Henry's "delusion". But I love, love, love how he stands up to her in the end and tells her that he's going to continue to help Henry the way his conscience sees fit. Definitely one of my favorite moments in this episode. It's most definitely an Emma moment for Archie. :) I also love the storyline between Archie and Henry, as Henry helps him to remember who Archie feels he wants to be while they're trapped inside the collapsed mine, after Archie shatters his spirit in a low blow after Regina's threat, and it breaks Archie to do so. You can see the pain and regret on his face right away. However, his weakness makes him human and I love seeing all sides of this incredible character. It also gives Henry more of a resolve to find proof in what he's been trying to tell everyone. I think it's wonderful that Henry has right away allowed Archie to be in one Operation Cobra too, because it shows just how much he cares about Archie, and how much Archie means to him. This is also why Archie's words to him really crushed him. Yes... I'm sure that he sensed somewhat that what Archie told him about being crazy were words coming from his adopted mother because she might have threatened him, but because Archie means so much to him, the pain from the words Archie spoke to him hurt him even more. And then... the mine is continuing to collapse and Archie and Henry enter inside of an old elevator shaft to try to get out, but in another collapse, the elevator falls and the ground beneath them gives way a little more, trapping them within the shaft, as the elevator's about to collapse. As for Pongo... Pongo is from Disney's 101 Dalmatians just as you've known from the beginning and I love this too. And he is important in Archie's life. For the creators and writers, Archie seemed like the right choice to be his owner and he really is. Pongo is so cute!!! I really like how Pongo helps everyone working to save Henry and Archie from the mine by locating where they are. And I love how everyone comes together from the town to save them. At last... Emma volunteers to be lowered into the shaft to help them out and the elevator is about to fall. I love that Archie uses his umbrella... said back in the episode, The Thing You Love Most, to be Archie's lucky charm. This is proven to be true when his umbrella is what saves his life, as it allows him to grab onto one of the rings hanging on Emma's belt. And then... the crickets begin chirping in Storybrooke because Archie finds the will to stand up to Regina. I like how him finding it in him again to be who he really wants to be, and Emma choosing to stay on as Deputy and making roots for herself makes more changes, and continues to weaken the curse. And lastly... as for what's shown down at the bottom of the mine after Regina and Henry both find the shards of glass, which Regina then drops down into the mine in the end... we see Snow White's shattered glass coffin down there. It's not ever explained why it's down there, but this isn't the last time it's seen either. Overall... I love this episode very much for the uniqueness of Jiminy Cricket's origin story. I can't wait for more. Thank you so much again!!! Until next time...

Thank you for another great reaction. I absolutely love this episode. It’s one of my favorites. Though I did enjoy the backstory & I loved we were able to see that Jiminy Cricket wasn’t always a cricket & how he became a cricket, my favorite parts of the episode was the storyline in present day Storybrooke. I enjoyed the scenes with Mary Margaret & David & Emma, Henry, Archie, & Regina. I felt so bad for Henry when Archie crushed his delusions as Regina put it. And you could see how much it hurt Archie to do so. I loved the Henry & Archie scenes in the mine. I loved that Henry told Archie that he believes that he can be a good person & like Jiminy he’s just taking a long time to figure out what’s the right thing to do & who he wants to be. One of my favorite Archie scenes is with Regina after the rescue when he stands up to her. I loved it when he said do your worst cause I will always do my best. And that he will treat Henry as he sees fit & the way his conscience tell him. I thought that was so awesome.!! I agree with Heidi that some people don’t like Henry, whether it’s the character or actor or both. But, I love Henry & I have from the beginning. He’s just so cute & I love his sweet little voice. And I think Jared Gilmore does a great job of playing him & both the actor & the character get stronger throughout the series. Overall, its a great episode & I’m so glad you’re really enjoying the series. I look forward to more of your reactions.

I absolutely agree. I love everything about this episode. I especially just really love Archie, and that we get to see an original backstory for Jiminy Cricket. :)

I really enjoyed reading your comments. They always give me something to think about that I didn’t think of before & I understand the characters & storylines better.

Let’s not forget that David/Charming and Mary/Snow are technically married. David/Charming is, yes, married, but to Mary/Snow. So that makes His ‘marriage’ to Kathryn, null and void, at least, in my mind. To me, they are essentially not themselves, no one truly consented to marriage, not whoever Kathryn really is, and not Prince Charming. But yes, I understand I’m in the minority, when it comes to the Mary/David/Kathryn situation,🤷🏼‍♀️😅

I actually agree with you. I never looked at David & Katherine as a married couple. They are only “married” due to the cursed memories Regina/Evil Queen gave them. It didn’t really bother me watching Mary Margaret & David scenes in season one because I saw them as Charming & Snow
