Once Upon a Time REACTION - S02E13 - Tiny

Thank you so much for another great reaction! I really liked this episode a lot I like Tiny as a character a lot because he's so sweet and the poor giant was so wanting to believe that not all humans were evil like his brothers claimed them to be. Also... I love how in the end, Grumpy and the rest of the dwarfs happily welcomed him in and made Tiny one of their brothers. Now... Tiny has a family again and I love that. As for Anton's (Tiny) backstory... I really liked seeing how it came about that he was all alone as we saw from this season's episode, Tallahassee when Emma and Hook entered the giants' castle. We already knew what came of Jack upon seeing her bones lying beside her poisoned sword that killed the rest of the giants, and we knew that they were all dead aside from Anton. However, I loved that we were able to see it come about and see how Jack died. I also liked that Jack was a woman, and not a boy named Jack. Nice twist. Also... like you, I love that James was a part of this story. It's great to see more with David's twin brother again. I also like that James and Jack are together, and that they sadly play on Anton's love for humans and their artifacts in order to attack and kill all the giants, but one, and for their treasure. Anton stopped him from getting their magic beans, but he still escaped with lots of gold, and left Jack behind to die. What a jerk! But I loved his storyline, and seeing King George too once again. I also loved how David was willing to turn himself over to Anton in order to protect the lives of everyone else in Storybrooke, then saved Anton's life with Mary Margaret's and Grumpy's help. This helped Anton to see that David was not James, and that once again, not all humans are evil. I also absolutely love the brief moment where David and Grumpy were arguing about David's name being David, James, and Charming at different points in his life while they were running from Anton. So funny. And yes... David's true name and cursed name were both always David. Charming was the nickname Snow gave him, and David pretended to be James back when he and Snow first met because he was forced to be so once the real James died, so long as King George was under and alliance with King Midas from their neighboring kingdom. I love the scenes with Hook and the heroes aboard the Jolly Roger, as well as his scene with Regina. Hook is definitely always great no matter which other characters he deals with at any point in the show. I love him! And lastly... I do like the storyline between Gold, Emma, and Henry a lot too. I liked how Gold was deeply vulnerable outside of Storybrooke, now that he has no magic and is completely out of his comfort zone. It is definitely a different side of him and Robert Carlyle plays this role so well. I also like how Emma was there to help Gold too. I believe that because she's the Savior and that she was born of True Love, it allowed for her to emulate her power and strength into him to help him through the security checkpoint. And Henry was so sweet to want to help him. Oh... and I also loved how Emma demanded that Henry come along with them in the beginning too. Gold may be more powerful than her, but she's not too afraid to stand up to him. And I also loved David's plea for him to protect his daughter and grandson as well. Overall... I enjoyed this episode very much. And I love Tiny. I'm excited for the next episode. Thank you so much again! Until next time...
