I'll say my opinion is a little improved on Maleficent's actress. I believe I was extending most of my hatred for the costume to the actress, tbh.

I loved that she was out of it most of this episode. Ursula and Maleficent thankfully look great in Storybrooke.
I don't read fanfiction much these days, but I could totally seeing this half season spawning a load of Maleficent/Regina fics.

They had a lot of chemistry in their solo scenes. (I almost wonder if this episode was supposed to rile up the fanbase of Swan Queen shippers.

) The episode was very heavy on Emma and Regina scenes, plus Rumbelle. I guess
Robin Hood, August, and...someone else is back next episode. I have some theories I'll keep to myself.
