– That its the final season.
Yes and no. On the one hand, it would be merciful to stop OUAT continuing to trip over itself and alienate its fanbase. Like others have said, having a destination might improve the quality of the storytelling.
On the other hand, unless S6 reaches the heights of S1 & 2, and I suspect it won’t, OUAT will end without having realised its potential. That disappoints and frustrates me. Because this is a show that had vast potential. True, it stopped realising most of it after S3. But when it was good, it was amazing, and part of me continued to hope against experience that it would recapture the brilliance of its early days. That’s what keeps me watching. So when those final credits roll, I’ll be deeply saddened to know that OUAT will never again have the chance to be all that it could have been.
