You're listening to Once, episode 25, Hat Trick, Initial Reactions. Welcome back to another episode of Once podcast, the podcast about ABC's TV show Once Upon a

time, and we just finished watching Hat Trick.

I'm Daniel J. Lewis.

I'm Jeremy Loughlin.

I'm Dan Flynn.

And I'm Jenny.

And we have had a cool time.

This was a good episode, I thought.

Not like totally amazing, but yet I think it was really good.

Still, like the story that they covered, the way they portrayed it, there was a lot of emotions. But yet, I think it was really good still.

Like the story that they covered, the way they portrayed it, there was a lot of emotion in this.

And also some moments that I found myself, like suddenly my brain was running 100 miles a minute trying to think that, are they going to do this?

Is this what they're hinting at?

And then something else came up and it's, oh, no, is this what they're hinting at? I would agree with that. What else did you think about it? I thought they weren't going to show the Queen of Hearts after all that. And then they did, and then they didn't. And well, they didn't. We still don't know who she is. I was wondering if she was going to be the woman that was downstairs in the little madhouse.

It shouldn't be funny to be in the madhouse when she had the mad hatter.

I liked the episode considering usually I don't care for episodes introduce new characters, typically.

Just because it's hard, you have to get a story

in you can't really i don't know this was actually quite good for introducing a new character

someone that felt pretty strong despite we've only seen them this once yeah yeah thanks dan

jenny what did you think about it?

I don't have any thoughts.

I'm sure you have some thoughts. This was the episode you were looking forward to so much.
