Catch-up post no. 1 (OUAT)

I haven't posted for the past few days for various busy-making reasons, so there's a lot I want to write about.
OUAT 1.11 The Outsider
I enjoyed it, well, I would because it was a Belle-heavy episode, but I thought it was a bit rushed – Belle didn’t even introduce Mulan and Phillip and then boom she was captured. But then, as always, there was a lot to get it. I loved the references to Eowyn – no man can slay this monster! – and was all ‘go get it, girl!’ But then Mulan – who is a spiritual kinswoman to Eowyn – turns up and really, Belle became Nancy Drew (and showed some tactical awareness that made up for the times that I was yelling at her for the lack of a plan.)
On the other hand, her response to discovering that Rumpelstiltskin had killed his estranged wife.
(Where was Cora in all this? Spying on Regina?)
Everyone’s questions about returning home are reasonable enough – it is home to them all except Emma and Henry and they’ve put family first, so they could go to. Snow/Mary Margaret’s attempts to explain why this was a bad idea what with the ogres and the destruction (and I think she forgot to mention that Cora had turned nearly everyone left into zombies) were a bit forlorn.
And so, a really bad driver crashes into town...
