After liking the last three episodes a lot, I was really hoping for something spectacular this time. But the season 6 finale was so much better.
Liked:
Alice and Robin’s opening scene with Grumpy and Granny. Alice is hilarious.
Robin asking Nook for Alice’s hand in marriage. I really wish we’d ended on that wedding instead of Regina’s coronation.
Getting to see Snow, Charming, Emma, and real Hook again. And another Snow hope speech.
Rumple’s sacrifice and his being reunited with Belle. I’ve never been a Rumbelle shipper, but that was sweet and made me tear up.
Robin returning to Regina in a dream. I’m glad we didn’t see Wish Robin with reformed Evil Queen. I think that would’ve broken Regina’s heart.
Regina’s almost sacrifice with Henry. This season has been very Regina heavy and that was a great parallel to Emma’s sacrifice last season.
Baby Hope! I always wondered why Snow and Charming didn’t name Emma, Hope, so I’m glad Emma and Killian decided to do it.
We got to see kid Neal and Robin! They finally aren’t babies anymore!
Very little Jacinda and Lucy.
Mixed:
Nook is the closest thing to Rumple’s best friend? What is Regina, chopped liver? She’s been through a heck of a lot more with Rumple, good and bad, than Nook has.
So, the Zelena from the point on is 2018 Zelena? We don’t get to see cursed Zelena’s wedding? Is she still in CA or does she get to come over into the new Storybrooke?
I get that Regina was the focus to get Henry to believe again, but would’ve seeing Emma, Snow, and Charming have worked as well?
Disliked:
The marrying of the realms was just too much for me. I found it absolutely ridiculous. And the ‘curse’ to get them there, puh-lease. And did anyone care to ask the people in the other realms if this was something they wanted? I don’t know if I can roll my eyes any harder?
Why does Wish Rumple die of our Rumple dies? I don’t understand the mechanics of this. They should be completely separate entities. I was all for the Wish Realm being basically a Sliders type alternate reality that existed and was only discovered through the Wish, but now they’re apparently connected and nothing about it made sense.
So Wish Rumple’s whole plan was basically to isolate everyone in their own storybook? Would that be each version of the character, or just the ones he had personal contact with. Because when I saw the book with Cinderella’s name, I automatically thought of Ashley/Cinderella and not Jacinda/Ella.
I honestly don’t buy the whole Regina was elected to become Queen of all the Realms. How is this a thing?
Too little of Emma and Hook. I liked the parallel of Emma interrupting the coronation like Regina did to the Charming’s wedding, but it was very cheesy. And Emma’s dress fit her so poorly that I was distracted by it the whole time.
I am sad this is the last episode, but I’m also glad it finally ended because this season wasn’t handled very well. I’m glad everyone got a happy ending of some sort.

I’m laughing at bit at the idea of Regina getting everyone to form a line so that she could rip out everybody’s hearts in turn, nip off a little (presumably nonessential) piece and shove it back in before yelling NEXT! …about 10,000 times. Maybe she Zelena and Emma (while Hook watches the baby) each took a realm and split up the work. Was there anyone else in town who had this whole heart yanking thing down?
nah, I believe she said she would use the hearts of those she loved the most and those who loved her do excluding the loved ones in Storybrooke, she’s got the two Henry’s, Lucy, and a few others to contribute to the “curse”.
Its pretty clever. Although, being who I am, I really feel like these guys just really don’t take other peoples opinions into the matter. Like….just imagine one day your chilling in your castles, doing your fairytale thing, talking to animated birds and stuff and then suddenly you end up next door to granny’s diner and someone is like “lol hey you live here now”
I’d be upset.
but hey it was a nice gesture. I loved it

Honestly I was underwhelmed by that finale. It focused way to much on Regina for starters and it all just felt flat to me.
LIKED
The opening where Alice and Robin were chased out by some of our beloved background characters (background after season one/two anyway).
The Lily’s father question is finally answered in the most random way possible!
Hook’s pink hook-stopper (or whatever you’d call it) was cute.
I enjoyed watching shady Blue Fairy (Wish Blue?) get sucked into a black hole.
Cinderella and Lucy had practically no lines!
MURKY
It was actually kind of sweet when Rumple called Nook his best friend (after Nook asked why he’d never killed him… um cause you ain’t his real nemesis Mr. Nooky not Hooky). Yet more sadness for Rumple that his ‘best friend’ is a guy created by a wish who mainly spent time with him while he was cursed.
The uniting of all the lands. Ok fine whatever.
DISLIKED
Not enough Emma. Too much Regina.
As usual far too much hand waving over important plot points like how Rumple is suddenly mortal.
Beating Wumple was too shabbily explained. Plus we didn’t get nearly enough of him for my taste or enough of our Rumple either.
No Bae in the ‘afterlife’! All we got was a quick flash of him dead to rub it in once last time.
No Henry and Rumple family scene. There were two Rumples and at least two Henrys running around and not once did we hear him call Rumple Grandpa that I heard. I think he looked sort of sad when he died. I guess that’s something.
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.

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"In reply to: What were your LIKES for the entire series ….
This is our last hurrah!
May have more than two though…
Season 1:
The Backstory & Classic Tale of Snow White & the Evil Queen
Season 2:
Regina learning from her mother’s mistake and willingly letting Henry go.
Cora & Regina…
Season 3:
Regina’s backstory with Baby Henry and then saving Henry!
Regina ultimately blessing Henry and Emma with new memories of a better life while she’s gives him up to undo the very curse that she cast. This I believe was the first real milestone in her redemption arc….
The Outlaw Queen & Wicked Sisters Reveal/Storyline
Regina breaking the curse by kissing Henry….yeah, the tears were strong!
Season 4:
Henry willingly comes home to his mother will always be one of the most touching scenes for me!
Definitely the Shattered Sight Episode…Ingrid’s death still remains one of the saddest to me!
Cruella De Vil!!! We all had so much doubt about her, I think Matthew was the only one who said she may shock us and end up being our favorite, and he was spot on right!
Season 5:
Neal & Emma’s reunion…
Regina getting closure with both of her parents and seeing them through to “Heaven”…and Cora reuniting her daughters….that episode and Henry Sr. Episode moved me so much!!!
Season 6:
Hands down…Regina learning to accept and love herself for who she is, the good, the bad, and the magical….
“And now I love myself…” best moment of the entire season 6 for me!
Season 7:
Henry & Regina’s flashback scenes and his letter, and their reunion/breaking curse….yeah…hardest I ever cried watching this series so far!

In reply to: 722 – Press Release (Series Finale)
There are just so many times where there are plot lines where the characters involved don’t really make sense and it is like oh, this would make so much more sense if it was Neal, Henry’s father, Rumpel’s son, Emma’s true love. Oh yeah, that is why this is awkward.
In reply to: What were your LIKES for the entire series ….
For me, Emma is the best thing about this show. Real Emma from the first few seasons. The Emma that was an abused child that was really angry at her parents who abandoned her. The Emma that was learning what it meant to be a mom and a friend and to be part of a community. The Emma that was an abused child who was neglected and used as a child. The Emma who was left by Henry’s father and didn’t know how to trust a partner because of that. The Emma who wanted home and found and lost that with Neal, then found it again with Henry and Snow. The early Emma that was complicated and flawed and real and had a painful backstory was the best thing about this show.
That was all very quickly lost and was all but gone by the end of Season 2 and certainly by the end of 3. They completely rewrote that character in a lot of ways. She was no longer trying to make things right with her parents that was all “resolved” even though it was barely discussd. She was no longer trying to be Henry’s mother. She was no longer standing up for what was right, but instead was just doing what was good for herself. There would be brief nice scenes now and then with Emma and her parents or with Henry or with Neal, but it never held true to what they showed us in the first season and a half or so.
Still, the early concept of Emma was what was good about this show and the person that everything about the show swung around. Her scenes with all the mains were great. With Snow, with Charming, with Henry, with Regina, with Rumpel, and with Neal were the soul of the show and when they started pulling those things out of the show, the show died.
In reply to: Baelfire! Death was a con!
Neal in the Black Fairy’s mine?! We see this (Neal?!) face right after Gideon says to Roderick…I thought you were dead!
The Black Fairy was Baelfire’s grandmother.
We saw Rumple and Neal clasp hands before Neal died. Rumple is at Neal’s tombstone talking to his son and a fly is perched on Rumple’s finger..it even crawls around. Dark Fairy dust turns someone into an insect! I think the fly is Neal! In Mother’s Little Helper (where we see Neal in the mine?!), this is the episode where Emma is attacked by the big monstrous spider and Emma is wrapped up like a fly! In Bleeding Through, Regina has a picture of a horse wearing a fly mask. She and Zelena are talking about Super Powers.
Remember when Snow White was going to be burned at the stake and we thought she was dead but she escaped as a bug!
Neal drove a VW Bug! When we see him in New York he walks past a buggy! His funeral is in the episode, It’s Not Easy Being Green! When he and Emma meet and go to the motel he looks at the dreamcatcher and says, “Flypaper for nightmares”.
When Baelfire arrived at the Darling’s he was dressed very similar to the kids in the Black Fairy’s mine…down to the hat.
