Ahhhhh….seven years…so much to choose from! LOL!

1) What was your favorite all time episode of OUAT? (feel free to pick more than one if you really can’t decide between a few)

Omg…this will probably the toughest, but if I can choose the top three….hmmm…..

  • Stable Girl, Skin Deep, Sisters, & Is This Henry Mills….all four of those are tied for me, but at the same time…Stable Girl & Skin Deep will always hold a beautiful & tragic place in my heart because for me that’s technically where this whole tale started…from the Dark One and then to the Evil Queen.

2) What was your least favorite all time episode of OUAT? (feel free to pick more than one if you really can’t decide between a few)

This one’s easy because my least favorite episode hasn’t changed in the course of 7 years, lol!

  • Selfless, Brave, & True….hands down, the boringest OUAT Episode to ever air! LOL!

3) What was your favorite and least favorite season of OUAT?

Favorite) Season 1: Anyone whose been here from October of 2011 up until now will tell you that Season 1 is hands down the greatest OUAT Season….EVER!!! No ship wars, no plot holes, no terrible timeline, no lame excuses….just pure original entertainment! Season 1 is and always will be the best season for me!

Least Favorite) Season 4: Omg….this is hardddd….but ummm…if overall half I would say Season 5A…but if I just had to pick a season, it would have to be Season 4! Ingrid & Cruella were the best parts about Season 4…that’s it….everything else was just meh.

4) Who was your favorite and least favorite MAJOR (meaning, regular cast member) character?<u></u>

Favorite Major) Regina Mills, the Evil Queen has been my favorite since October 2011 when she interrupted the wedding with the infamous line: “Sorry I’m Late”. It’s been seven years and I’ve never shifted in my feelings, I just feel personally she was the best overall written character on OUAT. Her redemption was not easy, but that made it real…she backslid but she caught herself, but Regina is such an inspiration for hope and redemption, and her message is as Lana Parrilla once said, “Good can come from broken”. I’m going to miss this character so much, but I know she will always live on in the hearts of all the Evil Regals that her story touched and changed for the better! #LongLiveTheQueen

Least Favorite Major) I wanna say badly Hook, but I think it would be entirely unfair because Season 7 showed that Hook had SOOOOOOOOOO much more potential than the Swan Obsessed guy we got for the last other 5 seasons! So he’s not my least favorite, he’s just not my preferred because of how Adam and Eddy just totally wasted his potential in order to make him obsessed with Emma. But I loved Wish Realm Hook…absolutely loved him and his story with his daughter Alice…yeah….that was really great!!!

5) Who was your favorite and least favorite MINOR (meaning only made brief appearances, either a single episode or more but never a regular cast member)

Favorite Minor) I understand this said minor, but since she was not apart of the other seasons, I’m going with Alice because I could watch a spin off show starring her and Robyn and be just as content, LOL!!! Alice was hilarious, sweet, charming, and just tugged at my heart strings in a way OUAT hasn’t done in a while….so I definitely loved Alice!!!

Least Favorite Minor) Dr. Jekyll….I just….I didn’t like him! I would have preferred Hyde for all of Season 6….but Jekyll….yeah…glad he was gone, just hated Hyde had to go with him.

6) What do you think OUAT’s biggest success story was? And what was their biggest mistake?<u></u>

Biggest Success) The story between the Evil Queen & Snow White will always be one of their greatest successes. We were taken from when they first met, to the betrayal, and slowly down the path of evil and eventually into an all out war between these two women that technically lasted over 30 years if we count the curse, and eventually we saw these same women become not only friends, but family again….they put their lives on the line for one another and taught one another the most important lessons. Regina taught Snow White about True Love & Keeping Faith, and Snow White taught Regina the meaning of Hope and how to accept both the good and evil in her. At the start of the series, they were mortal enemies and toward the end, it was if they were back in a mother and daughter relationship, and that plus the RegalBeliever storyline will always be one of the greatest storyline successes of Once Upon A Time.

Biggest Failure) Too many to legit count LOL!!! But if I just had to pick one….I would say Season 7’s overall storyline. The ending was beautiful but Season 7’s storyline could have been vastly improved!

7) Would you recommend OUAT to someone?

Would I recommend…I’ve been doing it for years. Do I ever try to explain the story, family tree, and overall plot… (Beep) No!!! LOL!!!!

8) What is the legacy of OUAT?<u></u>

 In the words of Cinderella: “No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing…the dream that you wish will come true.” Overall legacy is….happy endings can be real, but they must be fought for and always believed in.

9) Grade the entire series!

S1 is always an A+….S2-4 gotta be a B-….S5-S7 is a C+.

Overall series grade…I’ll say an 88% B+.
