You're listening to Once, episode 274, changeling's initial reactions.

Music Welcome back to another episode of Once, the unofficial podcast for ABC's TV show Once Upon a Time.

I'm Daniel J. Lewis.

I'm Aaron.

And we have just watched this episode, Changelings.

Now, I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving if you celebrated that in the United States

and that if you did anything with Black Friday, Cyber Monday, any of that stuff, I hope

with all of our hearts and sincerity that you did not tear yourselves apart.

Every time you say that, I just laugh.

I had to get it in early this time because I'm not sure if I could fit it in anywhere else.

But we have just seen this episode.

So we will be a bit all over the place with our initial reactions and thoughts on this episode.

And, Erin, how did you feel about this episode overall?

It kind of got better toward the end.

There were definitely some heartbreaking moments that were very well executed.

But yeah, the consensus in the chat even was, you know, I heard, I saw words like unsupervised,

a little lost post-holiday feeling. And I thought maybe it was just me because it was a

rumbell episode and I'm definitely not the biggest fan of them or of any of their episodes. So,

but it seems like maybe it was an overall feeling with, with the fandom in general.

This was very much the Squiddink episode, literally.

It was like the star of the episode.

It definitely was.
