I call this the '3 John's Song'. Feel good song for a day like today. Always belt out to this one when I'm driving when it comes on the radio, usually on the highway - windows down. Best feeling. Definitely on my list to karaoke.
"Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself"
-George Bernard Shaw, Irish Playwright
I love this quote. For my High School graduation, my mom made a board compiled of a bunch of quotes, most about advancing from one part of your life into the next. This has been my favorite. I took that quote off of the board and made a viewing case with that quoted pinned to it, along with any tickets I had saved to that point in my life. This includes Red Sox and Bruins games, trips to Italy and Florida, concert tickets, some even museum tickets I had saved from a trip to Italy, and even my wristband from when I was in the hospital from when I broke my leg. It's important to me because these experiences all played a role in shaping the person I am today.
We can call this the song of the weekend. If I saw you this weekend I probably showed it to you. Definitely my new favorite song. Glad Meghan Trainor isn't the only one bringing this 50's style music back, he made a great choice having her as the featured artist in this song.
This episode wasn't one of my favorite when it aired, but the flashback story is kind of cool. This episode goes into how Snow White and Prince Charming first met, and creates a history between them.
Quote of the episode:Emma Swan: "Not having a happy ending is painful enough, but giving someone unrealistic hope is far worse."
In Storybrooke, Henry convinces Mary Margaret to read "their story" to a coma patient whom Henry believes is Prince Charming. Mary Margaret reads his story and he wakes up. And escapes to the woods, which has Emma, Mary Margaret, and Graham the town sheriff off tracking him. They find him and get him back to the hospital at which point Regina is there waiting. She informs him that his name is David Nola, and that she found his wife. Keep in mind this is a curse Regina cast to ruin everyone's happiness. That's three blows to Snow/Mary Margaret, first she doesn't even know who he is, next he is in a coma, lastly he is married to a woman named Kathryn. Emma picks up that something wasn't right and confronts Regina.
In the flashback, you see that Charming and Snow meet by her hijacking and stealing from his carriage while he is on a journey with his fiance Abigial (Kathryn in Storybrooke). Bascially the whole episode is them finding and saving eachother. Which in turn codes their motto "I will always find you" which is said between the two of them numerous times throughout the series.
So overall, pretty slow episode.Was interesting how the writers came up with this story on how these iconic characters met; during Snow White's time as a bandit.
This has been my favorite scene of the Lion King since I first saw it when I was 5 years old. My uncle remembers me loving this scene as a kid and to this day always brings it up to remind me how funny I thought it was as he feels the same way about it. I still crack up when I see this scene.
