What was your favorite episode of S6B?
Favorite episode was Black Fairy followed by Page 23
What was your least favorite episode of S6B?
Least favorite was Awake followed closely by a Wondrous Place just because it was a complete waste of time
There were many plot threads throughout all of S6B but which was your favorite?
I loved Rumple and Gideon moments this season. Rumple is best as a dad trying to do good by his kids. Robert Carlyle hit it out of the field with his acting, so many feels. I also really enjoyed the Regina this half, she had some great character development with a character that was already pretty well developed.
What were your favorite and least favorite moments?
Favorite moment would be the Rumbelle hug in 6×13, We Rumbelle fans have been put through the ringer the last couple of season and I think we all needed that hug as much as Rumple did. My other favorite moment would be the Regina and EQ self actualization hug.
Least favorite moment would be Snow and Emma threatening to kill Gideon in Gold’s shop. It was a new time low for both characters and really badly done. Bye the way what ever happened to all the kids in the black realm, oh that’s right we ran out of time on stupid plots like Aladdin and Jasmine, and Hook doing nothing to redeem himself for killing Charming’s father.
Should this have been the end of the series?
Yes, I loved the ending montage and the ending message. It could have and probably should have ended there.
What would you like to see in S7?
New characters, new stories, new people to care about, and NOT ruining the ending of season 6
Final grade and thoughts on S6B?
I thought they ended it well, but I was left unsatisfied by the rushing of the stories. They should have spent more time finishing up stories instead of wasting time on crap episodes that no one really cared about (Aladdin and Jasmine). As a Rumbelle fan I felt that OUAT took a lot of time completely destroying Rumbelle in season 6A and should have taken just as much time fixing them in 6B. If not they should have had a HUGE character moment where Rumple CHOOSES love over power and Belle finally gets it through Rumple’s head that he is lovable and that she does and will always love him. Instead we get a mere smearing of Belle (when she actually has a scene) working with Rumple and trying to understand his reasoning, Rumple working really hard to do what is right for his son, Rumple putting Belle and Gideon first (which is completely in character for him and is who he is at his core). I would have even taken a scene where Rumple explains to Belle that he does not want to be everyone’s savior or everyone’s hero that he just wants to be her and Gideon’s savior and hero, and Belle accepting this and understanding that this is who Rumple is. Instead we get Rumple making the right choice and presto everything is fixed (I guess this is what fanfic is for someone please write Rumple and Belle actually fixing their relationship)
All in all I would give 6B an A- because at least we ended with Hope and Happily Ever Afters even if I felt they could have executed it better.
