Subtext Recap: Once Upon a Time 3.11 – Going Home
ByRileyThere is a rare, bittersweet joy in watching the unfolding of a love story that will never be allowed to fully blossom. It’s what makes movies like Malena and Never Let Me Go so poignant, what makes songs like Almost Lover feel so lonely. That stated, the subtext in Going Home was so-not-even-subtext that I will…

Subtext Recap: Once Upon a Time 3.4 – Nasty Habits

I really liked book 6 (although Book 7 is probably my favorite… well, tied with 3) and I thought the movie was pretty good. Not perfect… I am not sure about the lack of discussion of the horcruxes… how will Harry find them or know where to start if he and Dumbledore did not discuss the fact that Voldemort has a strong attraction to the founders of Hogwarts?
