It's Not Easy Being Green (Once Upon a Time)
Hillary Busis of "Entertainment Weekly" gave it a good review: "'Once's' version of the Man Behind the Curtain emerged for the first time tonight. When he did, we learned that the guy in question is none other than... Benjamin Linus. Just kidding! It's Walsh, a.k.a. Christopher Gorham, a.k.a. the dude who would become Emma's flying monkey beau. This week's episode gave his truncated origin story -- but more than that, it delved into Zelena's past to shed a glowing green light on how she became such a cold-hearted witch in the first place. (Given how literal "Once" can be, I wouldn't be surprised to learn Zelena's ticker is literally encased in a layer of ice.)
A Tale of Two Sisters (Once Upon a Time)
Brian Lowry of "Variety" gave the episode a generally positive review, saying "“Frozen” might not be able to glide through all the mazes that have taken “Once Upon A Time” from boundless promise to convolution, but incorporating characters from Disney’s animated smash has made the ABC series feel a whole lot cooler. The season premiere is heavily driven by the arrival of Elsa, the movie’s ice queen, in a continuing plot that will have her searching for her sister Anna. Frankly, it’s still surprising the studio would risk such a formidable asset in this manner, but the stunt should help rekindle interest in a program whose happiest days appeared well behind it."

However, in the modern day, learning Marian is actually Zelena almost made up for it. They shouldn't get in the habit of bringing back blasts from the past, but Zelena has the potential to shake things up so much that her return is worth it. Since she's also searching for the Author though, it would have been better to tie him more into the story considering what happened in the previous episode." Ratcliffe gave the episode a 7.2 rating out of 10.

Gilmore commented, "I relate to Henry because I'm 11 and also have a very good imagination. I enjoy making up and playing games in worlds with alternate realities myself."
