1) Favorite episode of 4A?
I think 4×11. It had some nice moments… and by ‘favorite’ and ‘nice’ I mean things that actually resonated emotionally.
2) Least favorite episode of 4A?
4×02. The words “Bo Peep” are now simultaneously profanity and a hilarious joke in my household.
3) Overall thoughts on the Frozen storyline?
Umm… I liked the Frozen characters. I LOVED the Emma-Elsa friendship. The Frozen bits were okay. The SQ bits, meh.
4) Favorite moment or arc within 4A?
I think I was, and remain, most intruiged by the book author plot. Favorite moments, I think I enjoyed the bits of the shattered sight spell where the show KNEW it was camp and played it as camp. Campy fun is fun when it’s intended to be campy…
5) Best Frozen Adapted Character?
Sven!
6) Final Grade for 4A?
Ooh. C-? D+? It was better than 3B, IMO, but that’s not to say it was good. I did feel like 408-411 were stronger than the first part of the season, but honestly, it was pretty terrible. Characters did random stuff without spelled out motivation (Rumplestiltskin, I’m looking at you,) other characters were assassinated (Robin Hood,) they embarked Emma on a new relationship and spent no time examining the relationship itself. Most of the characters had OOC moments if not entire OOC arcs. Snow and David did absolutely nothing, Belle was MIA most of the time, they introduced the Henry-as-apprentice plotline but we never saw any follow up. MOST often, the best scenes of the episode were the deleted scenes. It was all pretty shoddy.
Cause this story needs some mending & a better happy ending...
