I keep saying this, I know, but I honestly can’t believe this is the last one of these I am going to do… GENERAL: I don’t have a lot to say, honestly. My thoughts are all below. Right now I’m nostalgic and I’m sad and I’m happy and a lot more. I can’t believe it’s over… Rating: 9.5/10 LIKED –8:15 on the clock. One more time. –According to Alice: Seattle has great coffee and too much rain. –“Intruders!!” LOL; glad Granny had her crossbow ready –Jared Gilmore has come so far. He did such a great job as a bitter and menacing teenager heartbroken over the death of his grandparents and his mother abandoning him. –“Is this a dream?” “Well, if it is, it’s an excellent one.” I never really shipped Outlaw Queen but that was a gorgeous segment. –First big cry of the night: Snow and Charming taking off their masks. I have missed them so much. –Snow gets one final giant almost cringe worthy hope speech! –Second big cry of the night: “If this is how I have to go out, showing you there are people in the world who love you, no matter what you do…then that’s a worthy end for me.” –“I am the strongest version of us….you don’t do the right thing for a reward. You do it because it’s the right thing to do.” It’s been a long road but I’ll always Rumple’s girl. Goodbye, my Imp. MIXED –The snowglobe is bigger on the inside! –The idea that there’s a book for every hero in every realm ever is very interesting. It’s the kind of idea that deserves more than a fly by plot in the series finale. It has legs, it should have been given room to grow. –“Because you were the closet thing I ever had to a friend.” I wish we had more of Nook, Rumple and Alice. Again, too much narrative bloat in this season and the writers missed what would have been far more interesting. –I’ll never not love a good dreamcatcher on this show, but I really wish Rumple would remember that he has a dead son he wants to see again; dreamcatchers will always be tied to Neal (and Emma) so that was a perfect time to throw in a Neal reference. –Using the Dark Curse and pieces of everyone’s heart to bring all the realms to Storybrooke is…extremely meta and weird and I both hate it and love it? DISLIKED –The pen stripped Rumple of his immortality? How is that even possible? Magical MacGuffin for the win, one more time! –So Wish Realm Rumple’s plan to send all the heroes into their own realm, by themselves? Gosh that’s a lot of portals and realms. –Is anyone else bothered that this castle has a giant ball room that one has one thing to sit on. Like, what is the purpose of this room? –Who are these other two random black knights rolling the books around? How are they on the family’s side? Are the magicked? –The afterlife sure is foggy! –“Some time later…” One more time! –Lily’s father was Zorro! The writers are evil people who threw that in there just to make us all shut up. Well played, Adam and Eddy. Well played.
Well written RumplesGirl.
