1) Favorite episode of 4A?
Easily “Shattered Sight” (410)
2) Least favorite episode of 4A?
The Snow Queen (407)…though I really disliked some of the other episodes like Fall and The Apprentice
3) Overall thoughts on the Frozen storyline?
FROZEN ALL THE THINGS. Too much Frozen, not enough of our cast that I actually care about. Every possible reference from the movie Frozen they could make, they made. It was too much for 11 episodes. All the flashbacks somehow involved Frozen. The characters really began to grate on my last neve (especially Anna) and everything was wrapped up with too many plot devices. Ingrid was the best part, her emotional storyline was good, even if her plot storyline was simply bizarre and heavy.
4) Favorite moment or arc within 4A?
The town line scene with Rumple and Belle. Broke my heart and made me feel something besides thinly veiled anger at ONCE. Also, the laughing scene with Regina, Snow and Charming in Shattered Sight.
5) Best Frozen Adapted Character?
Sven.
6) Final Grade for 4A?
C- (and honestly, I’m being generous)
Generally, I liked Ingrid but Frozen was so heavy handed and literal and carbon copy that it’s hard not to see it as a mad grab for ratings and cash. The stories each week were inconsistent, there was a lot of really bad morality, and some alarming turns for characters. I’m also convinced that Adam and Eddy write each arc completely forgetting the previous ones.
I really really really wish A and E would stop bringing new “new villain!”and refocus on the characters we already have.
