Reply To: Season 4A in Review

1) Favorite episode of 4A?

The Snow Queen. This one had the least number of plot holes, to my memory. 401 wasn’t too bad, either.

 

2) Least favorite episode of 4A?

All the rest, due to plot holes, (ep 3 or 2 being the worst…and Bo Peep was just embarrassing) or just feeling unsatisfied due to not feeling a real sense of danger. No one died during the shattered sight spell; it was comical rather than dark, scary or apocalyptic.

3) Overall thoughts on the Frozen storyline?

Horrible money grab. Unnecessary to the Snow Queen plot.

4) Favorite moment or arc within 4A?

-Emma agreeing to help Regina on her quest to find the Author.

-Belle getting wise to Rumple’s antics and pushing him over the time line.

-Finding out that Enchanted Forest is not the name of the whole world, but the name of a land mass or continent in their world (due to the existence of Arendelle and not needing to  use a portal to get there from Mist Haven/Enchanted Forest and back).

-The hat, sorcerer and author of the book.

-Lily. Really hope to see her again. That star on her wrist had to mean something.

-Emma and Regina drinking shots at the bar.

 

5) Best Frozen Adapted Character?

Sven, the Reindeer.

 

6) Final Grade for 4A?

6/10 or a C-, due to plot holes or other silly plot points that made little sense. The fairies stepping in at the *last minute* to help prevent the Shattered Sight Spell. Also the issue of Regina almost executing Marian was never discussed, and Robin’s line to Regina when he accosted her in the vault sounded like he was giving up his values to be with her for one night. Meanwhile, we saw very little of Henry as the Apprentice. True Love vs Soul Mate was never touched upon either. They just stopped using ‘Soul Mate’ and used ‘True Love’ only, instead. Oh, and they still haven’t addressed the disconnect between Robin’s perception of what happened to Marian and  her arrest!

Some of the above might be dealt with in 4B, but with these writers I am not going to hold my breath. Besides, if they had not had Frozen and just the Snow Queen, they may have had time to deal with all of the above and more in a timely manner.
