What about most shocking moment? It could be a good shock, a bad shock, so long as it’s something that made you gasp…. I think mine is Regina killing Graham. I did not expect Regina to have her all those hearts in a vault nor did I expect that she could crush hearts and kill people. The fact that Graham dies seconds after he remembers who he is and in Emma’s arms….so tragically sad. I remember gasping.
Most shocking moment for me was Rumplestilskin killing Cinderella’s fairy god mother….like that was bibbidi bobbidi boo lady, I’m still surprised Disney even let them do that. Coming second was probably finding out there was once an eighth dwarf, Stealthy.
If we never had flashbacks, I almost wonder if I would have believed any of it. That might be an interesting experiment: if you had the same show, but no flashbacks, just present day. Would you believe?
It would have been a completely different show, and I think we needed the flashbacks in order to give us all of these backstories. I’ll admit the concept of playing around with “Is the curse real or not?” is intriguing, nonetheless. I think I would have believed, though, because I couldn’t help but think that was the show’s intention. Besides, Storybrooke is still a strange town.
Well we’ll always have the theory that this is all a dream in Henry’s head and that he’ll wake up at the end of the series finale.

Personally I find the “it was all a dream” conclusions to be cop-outs. Feels like it negates the entire plot and character developments that occurred, for better or worse. I think it would also be the cheap way out. So yeah, I hope the show doesn’t go that route.
the audience was led to believe it all along, but when you really think about it, the only possible evidence prior to that episode was Henry’s book and the flashbacks

What would have been interesting is if the show didn’t have flashbacks, but present day was still the same, so we would have the heart vault scene as an even bigger twist.
