SEASON 5B FINAL REVIEW:
1) What was your favorite episode of S5B?
5×19 Sisters had to take the cake for me, Barbra Hershey, Rebecca Mader, & Lana Parrilla just really stole the show and everything was beautiful! From Cora’s reunions with her daughters to Regina and Zelena seeing their mother off to Heaven!
2) What was your least favorite episode of S5B?
5×21 The Last Rites….obvious reasons. I still do not understand why Robin Hood had to die to further the Season Finale’s plots, so my faith in the writers limited intelligence is momentarily at it’s lowest point.
3) What did you think of Hades and the Underworld?
The minute I start trusting Hades, and start shipping Zades…he goes and kills Robin Hood. Why does this always happen? The Underworld was neat, nothing spectacular, but enough to do what this half season needed it to do.
4) What was your favorite and least favorite moment?
Favorite Moment: It’s a tie for me, Regina and Henry seeing Henry Sr. off to Heaven & Zelena and Regina seeing Cora off to Heaven was the best scenes this entire season to me. Acted brilliantly, and down right perfect!
Least Favorite Moment: Robin Hood dying…I just…Adam and Eddy killed a legend for no apparent reason. (Eye Roll)
5) We had a lot of old favorite (and least favorite) return this arc; which character did you most like seeing? Who did you wish we saw?
Enjoyed Most: I loved Cruella, Pan, Milah, and especially Henry Sr’s return, but nothing could compare to Cora! Cora just brought back a light to this show that’s been missing for a long time!
Wish: I wish we could have seen Graham…I really would have loved an episode where he goes on a mission with Regina and Emma and finishes his unfinished business, and this way he can have closure with Emma, and make amends/peace with Regina.
6) Thing you’re most looking forward to in S6?
Really, I’m hoping our theory of a Civil War between Anti Heroes and Villains Counterparts come true! Mr. Gold, Regina, Zelena, & Killian vs Dark One Rumplestilskin, The Evil Queen, The Wicked Witch of the West, & Captain Hook would be very entertaining and bring new meaning to facing one’s inner demons.
7) Overall grade and final thoughts on S5B?
Season 5B was definetly better than 5A. A little mishaps here and there, and one major issue that I’m sure everyone knows I’m talking about, but “our questions are pointless”. Minus certain unnecessary situations, 5B was a win for me!
Final Rating: B-
