Here's something I noticed: when Beatrice is explaining to Wirt how she threw a rock at a bluebird and it cursed her family, a bird melody starts playing. It's shit like this, man. Music is so important to the feel of a show.
This was one of the better put together episodes in the series. It was gorgeously colored, had fantastic music and moved the plot forward well--sometimes the stories in each episode can be so very thin because they are working with such little time, but this episode just seems so well balanced. I love it.
