I am just going to review as a whole. I like it and wished it was the series ending 8.5/10
Liked:
Henry’s true love’s kiss on Emma even though I don’t know how that worked it was a great parallel to the end of season 1
Evil Queen sacrificing herself to save everyone
Outlaw Queen getting a happy ending and stealing from the rich to give to the poor at least most of the time
Rumple telling his mom that all magic comes with a price and then killing her although how sad for Rumple to have to kill both his mom and dad. This was a nice parallel to when he killed his father in season 3
Belle loosing her bravery and courage in the curse and Rumple using the book to find her.
Rumple being awake for the curse because he did not trust his mom and knew she would use Belle as leverage (how he did this I don’t know but he is Rumple so I can buy that he figured it out)
Rumple doing the right thing even when the dark one inside of him was encouraging him to make the wrong decision.
I liked the ending of the chapter when good and evil both do the right thing the finale battle will be won. I also liked Snow’s message of New Beginnings (this is how I like Snow filled with Hope)
Henry being super useful in this episode. I wish they had done this more often. I loved when he hit Gideon with the fire extinguisher
LOVED the ending montage felt like the series ending and I really do wish they had ended it there.
Mixed:
We had to assume a lot of things in this episode because there was not enough time. Can you imagine what we could have gotten if they had not wasted episodes on Aladdin and Jasmine, Hook killing David’s father, and sorry guys the musicale. I wish they had concentrated more on our main characters and what they were doing than wasting time.
Poor Belle still did not get much screen time and never got her heroic mother moment. I would have loved to see her defeating the black fairy.
Disliked:
They played with how the hat worked and I don’t get how Emma was connected to all the other realms
Jasmine and Aladdin still don’t care about them, don’t want to see them, they are wasting time that needs to be spent on characters we care about.
