1) Favorite Episode? Snow Drifts/There’s No Place Like Home. Every time I go back and write a meta about the finale, there’s something new to love about it. It makes sense now why these two episodes were shown on the same night, it would have been really disjointing to watch There’s No Place Like Home a week later. Everything flows together perfectly.
2) Least Favorite Episode? The Tower. There’s been a lot of Snowing backstory episodes but Charming’s had very few episodes devoted to his character. It was nice seeing him face his fears about having another baby, and if he would be a good father. I also have a sneaking feeling it was cathartic for Josh since he’s going to be a father soon himself. I liked seeing a different Rapunzel. I didn’t mind that at all but the story was kinda weak.
3) What did you think of Zelena as a character/villain? Zelena was an interesting villain. With all the villains we’ve had so far on OUAT, there’s always been something a little sympathetic about them. They’re never black and white – evil just for the sake of being evil villains. I liked that Adam and Eddie’s interpretation of the Wicked Witch stayed true to that. I liked how they held onto her name for the longest time and once that came out, knowing that it means “light” — which is actually similar to what my real name means, it was a curious choice. But it makes sense now. I would have liked to see Zelena actually have a real second chance, trying to learn to be good again and have a real sisterly friendship with Regina.
4) Favorite moment? I have to pick only one? Really? Okay, okay, the Captain Swan kiss in front of Granny’s diner. I cannot get enough of that kiss, I try to reblog a gif set whenever I come across one I like on tumblr, and analyzing what’s beautiful about it and how it stacks up to previous CS kisses. Moment #2 would go to Past Hook vs. Present Hook. I laughed out loud so hard after I first watched the finale and still laugh when I re-watch.
5) Overall rating for the season? A
