I still think a rewatch is well worth your time for a Once fan. There are so many great episodes and great storylines to go back to that can be even more fun the fifth time through than the first and even many of the bad episodes have at least a few good points. Granted there are some frustrations that every fan probably shares during certain storylines… I’m sure I’m not alone in my frequent wondering for what might have been, what could’ve been different and especially what should’ve been different… What would’ve happened if Baelfire had lived? Why was Zelena so powerful at birth when neither of her parents were even practicing magic at the time (cough should’ve been Rumple’s daughter cough). Did Regina join the heroes to soon for the overall longevity of the show? Should Belle have stayed locked up in the basement for a few more seasons if the writers didn’t know how to write for her? Why did we need to have Lily again? Did Arthur have to be a bad guy? Can’t we ever have two people in conflict and have both of them be good people who want different things? Must every villain be redeemed and/or have a tragic backstory?
sorry I’m rambling on and on here. It’s just that when I look at each individual character now that the show has in a way wrapped up, I can’t help thinking how each ones story could have been so much better and I know the writers had no way of knowing how long the show would run, but still…. Just still.
Anyway back to the point… rewatching can be great fun and I do recommend it to anyone who hasn’t done it in a while. If I hadn’t rewatched the whole series recently then I might not have voted for anything past season three at all.
