And Straight on Till Morning was the best episode this year .. everything was amazing it was so fast and enjoyable !! .. i cant believe that henry is the boy that they are searching for in neverland !! Where they went with it was not. They left the season at an interesting point. Peter Pan wants Henry and has for a while, and Tamara and Greg were quite pleased to have found him. Is their home office in the fairy tale world? They're in Neverland now, and I'm already looking forward to the Storybrooke gang arriving and taking on mermaids and the Shadow. Plus, we get more of Captain Hook. He is everything you could want in a rogue. Colin O'Donoghue teaching young Baelfire how to become a pirate was freaking adorable. He switches between evil, cunning, and charming without a hitch. The pity in Hook's eyes when Bae told the story of his father abandoning him made me feel all warm and fuzzy - and then he betrayed him to the Lost Boys. Nicely played. hook and neal are the best new actors this season !! 10/10

i really enjoyed this episode .. it was the best episode of the season 2 .. i watched it with my brother and i really enjoyed it so far .. i loved the scene when rumpel told belle that henry will be his undoing, he is his grandson. He couldn't save Bae, but he will save his son. i loved also bae he is a great young actor and will have a great future hook was the best character in this episode he is really charming and awesome but i wanted to see more about bae and his journey in neverland with the lost ones and how he survived from the shadow !! and how also he came back to our real world !! the ending scene was awesome !! emma , regina , David , rumpel , snow and hook are all going to neverland to save henry from peterpan !! great season !! 10/10 for this awesome season

'And Straight on 'til Morning' is a great conclusion for Season Two of Once Upon a Time. Season two is great as it has more magic, more stories and more new characters. The villains were great in this season too, especially Cora. I liked the introduction of magic in Storybrooke, and how more characters were connected. Emma's character grew a lot too, still figuring out her powers as well as her discovering her family. Regina going evil wasn't anything surprising, but liked her more sympathetic side in the finale. Lana has always been good portraying Regina's layered character. The last episodes were nicely done connect to Season Three with Neverland and Peter Pan. A brilliant cliffhanger to season three!
Well worth going straight on for

When 'Once Upon a Time' first started it was highly addictive and made the most of a truly great and creative premise. Really loved the idea of turning familiar fairy tales on their heads and putting own interpretations on them and the show early on clearly had clearly had a ball. Watched it without fail every time it came on and it was often a highlight of the week. Which was why it was sad when it ran out of ideas and lost its magic in the later seasons.
"And Straight on Til Morning" follows on from the huge potential and events seen in the previous episode "Second Star to the Right". That episode was great but this was even better and one of Season 2's best episodes. Characters feel like they are progressing in development, especially Hook and Baelfire, and elements of the storytelling are very promisingly set up, making one truly excited for Season 3, and ones seen in previous episodes are built upon.
Some may feel that "And Straight On Til Morning" focuses more on smaller individual goals rather than one big one, personally actually really liked that with things starting to make sense whereas bigger goals had only just been introduced and need more time to develop.
Really liked how it put its own fresh twist on one of literature's most justifiably famous stories rather than making it a conventional telling, one that is twisty and at times dark.
The existing characters have enough to do too and there is a lot going on but handled very neatly and not in a way that feels convoluted or like "too many cooks spoil the broth". Both of which being fears of mine, seeing as 'Once Upon a Time' introducing and including new fairy tale and literary characters to expand the universe and have more than one story to focus on has had variable success in the past and since. The connections between fairy tale and reality and past and present continue to be neatly done and cohesive.
All the acting is uniformly fine, no problems there. Really do love how this element, along with the writing on the most part, has come on such a long way since 'Once Upon a Time' first started. Colin O'Donoghue stands out here, Hook is one of the most interesting characters introduced in Season 2 but this is his meatiest material at this point in the show and O'Donoghue performs like he knows that.
Furthermore, "And Straight On Til Morning" is a very handsomely mounted episode visually, the settings and costumes are both colourful and atmospheric, not too dark or garish and never cookie-cutter. It is photographed beautifully too. The music is haunting, ethereal and cleverly used with a memorable main theme. Writing has the right balance of humour, pathos, mystery and intrigue.
Overall, brilliant and makes one hope that Season 3 is as good. 10/10 Bethany Cox
