I absolutely loved this episode. It is BY FAR my favorite episode of the last 2 seasons. I love musicals and they did a wonderful job with giving the show that treatment.
Liked:
– The songs! They were catchy tunes with clever lyrics and the actresses could actually sing!
– The connection between the flashback singing and the song in Emma’s heart in the present. I felt it was well executed for the most part.
– The wedding was done beautifully and topped off with the awesome ensemble number.
Mixed:
– Zelena’s number. It was beautifully sung with clever lyrics. I just wanted more of an epic, show-stopper sounding villain song from Zelena. The feel of the song didn’t give off a very villainy vibe.
– The Blue Fairy being behind the wish and thus the ultimate reason for the song in Emma’s heart to defeat the Black Fairy in this episode. I like that it makes Blue more important, but it doesn’t fit with Shady Blue which I still can’t seem to let go of! lol
– So is this new curse by the Black Fairy NOT the Dark Curse since no heart was sacrificed? If so that needed to be made more clear, especially with the references to the Dark curse in the flashbacks. I’m fine with it being a different curse, but it was confusing.
– The use of the song in Emma’s heart to help her realize she wasn’t alone was beautifully done, but didn’t she conquer the whole “lone wolf” mentality in S4A? And why is Henry encouraging her toward this temporary relapse in character development?
Disliked:
– Why couldn’t Emma’s all-powerful song magic turn Snow’s dress back to being white? Also, I felt like it would have been in character for Snow to cry when the Black Fairy ruined it.
– No Belle or Gideon
– Where exactly did the storybook page showing Blue Fairy with the Charmings appear from? The same place as Page 23 in Season 4? Without Henry seeing it and showing it to Emma, I don’t think she would’ve found the song in her heart, so I feel like where it came from is kind of important. Or did I genuinely just miss something?
[adrotate group="5"]I will respond properly later, but I wanted to point out that I really liked that the “Emma’s Theme” song lyrics, actually made me realise in some respects how similar she is to the Black Fairy. They were both sent to lands where they were trapped and alone. I hadn’t really thought of it like this until I really listened to what Emma was singing.
Oh man this is an episode I will have to rewatch many times. Some plot holes here and there but boy did I love this episode. Without delving into every little thing let me just say a couple things. The writers and the actors pulled it off. I actually enjoyed every song and thought the lyrics and acting were amazing. And although cheesy, the fact that Emma is protected bc of all the songs in everyone’s heart from the people who love her makes total sense from a Disney standpoint where all these characters used to sing on screen. Why Cora wasn’t able to pull out Emma’s heart at all and Black Fairy was but just wasn’t able to crush it is a little confusing, but whatever.
How about Blue actually being important after all! She is the reason (and Snow’s wish I suppose) that Emma is protected.
Loved Hook asking Henry to be his best man.
I liked that the actors commented on what was going on with the singing. It would have been bad if all of a sudden they were singing and they just went with it.
And again, I will rewatch it, but while I did love Lana Parilla in her songs, and loved Emma with hers at the end, Rebecca Mader’s stood out to me the most. I thought the lyrics were so good.
Overall: 9.5/10
So were people not able to sing for all these years?

The least fave is that Belle wasn’t there, as usual, for something she should have been present for.

I haven’t watched the episode yet but I saw clips of Zelena’s song and Emma’s song on youtube. They were both really good and I think Zelena’s song is my favourite. Why couldn’t all the songs be of that quality?

Keeper of FelixSomething that just occurred to me:
think about this episode From black Fairy’s viewpoint. She has NO IDEA WHATS GOING ON!! ???
Like imagine her explaining this to Rumpel later. “So I went to go kill her, I snatched her heart and everything…and then…she just starts singing. Yes. Singing. I don’t even know where the music was coming from, it was just there!”
She must have been so confused!! I’m dying with laughter.

That’s hilarious. Maybe she can try defeating Emma through song in the finale, and everyone will just look at her like she’s nuts. Haha.
Finally watched the episode. Zelena’s song is still my favourite.
Loved that the Black Fairy stepped in when Hook knocked Rumple out.
Lol at the look on Black Fairy’s face when Emma starts singing. She’s like “WTF is happening???”
I’ve really liked the Black Fairy so it’ll be a shame to see her go. I kind of want her to win the Final Battle.
