The thing is it doesn’t feel like a cliff hanger usually feels to me.
I can see where you’re coming from, but “magic is back” worked for me. This opens up a whole bunch of possibilities, and yes, it had me on the edge of my seat. I’m sorry it didn’t work for you 🙁

Most of the original things about this show were basically resolved they just Created a bunch of new ones all over again!
The whole time I was watching the finale, I thought: They’re really trying to make this the direct opposite of Lost. While with Lost, they kept adding new questions to a point where it wasn’t possible to give satisfying answers to everything, the people behind OUAT actually closed a whole chapter and opened a new one.

What’s Henry’s role now? Or Emma’s for that matter? What’s the point of the book now?
Henry will probably in the middle of a war between Emma and Regina – just as Emma announced a few episodes ago. And Henry’s grandparents might want to join Emma, which should be fun.
The book never really had much of a point. Henry believed that the stories in it were true, (almost) everyone else didn’t. But now that it is no longer a fairy tale, but chronicles the previous lifes of everyone in SB, it might prove to be an invaluable source of information for Team Emma.

I don’t think the book will serve any more purpose than it has unless a character starts referencing it more directly and says I see a connection here, here, and here in these stories. Otherwise, the book just a way for the show writers to tell the FTL stories.
I thought the finale was a great episode. We have no idea what that purple cloud is going to cause! There is going to be a whole new set up for the next season.
I enjoyed the show. Where will they go from here? I have no ideal but I am glad to see that they are going further. I like the ideal that magic has returned but I also realize that Magic may only exist in SB. I love this show. 😀

It’s not that it didn’t work for me it’s just that I’ve never seen that kind of approach I guess so I’m not quite sure how to take it. After being withheld stuff all season to just give up everything you were asking the whole time it’s like really? How cool of you lol. It’s like a whole new story now

The season could have used another episode to help explain things. A lot of the things seen in the finale seemed rushed.
How/Why did Jefferson know about Belle in the psych ward?
Other than seeing his name on a door in the psych room, couldn’t we have seen a little more of Sydney Glass to have a little update?
How is it Belle is so accepting of everything that’s going on?
Did all that character building for Regina go out the window the moment she saw magic coming?
Is August dead or what? Is it really necessary to wait til the next season to answer that?
Maleficent stuck in dragon form sll this time? Really? Could there have been no clues to make the viewer feel they were even in the same ballpark with this one?
And Granny and Red? Dr. Whale and Mother Superior? I really wish more had been done.
If, for some ungodly reason, the network decides not to go through with a second season, I will be quite disappointed with what we were left with. Just saying, another episode could have been used to smooth things out a bit.Love all the questions, Jefferson has left me the most questions. How did he know about Belle? How did he know the passcode? That nurse didn’t seem surprised to see him at all or the janitor. He’s a little scary to me, a wild card if you will, and he has definitely set up Regina and Gold for a battle. What did Rumpel say to SW and PC in his cell in the Pilot… “the curse will be broken and the final battle will begin“…?
If Emma is mad at him for taking the potion, it won’t be because Henry isn’t awake. He knew the outcome of that before she went downstairs. And on her way out he told her he would be okay. He just needed her for the potion. Now Emma will realize what an “imp” Mr. Gold is and like everyone else will have to watch her guard. I am wondering though, now, if Rumpel touching SW’s belly when she visited the cell in the mines might have passed some type of magic on to Emma the way he did the true love ring for PC to find Snow in this episode? Maybe he also made her the key to finding Bae. Maybe that is his favor or Emma — leave SB and find Bae.
I agree about Malificent. There was no clue to that one. The dragon stuff turned a bit cheesy somewhere in those scenes for me, but I still loved it. What can I say, I like the show. I just kept telling myself it is like a fairytale, a bit cheesy at times but still fun.

It was a season finale, not a series finale. They set up the second season with all those loose ends you mentioned.
So what now? Rumpel is a force to be reckoned with. I believe the way he betrayed Emma was just a glimpse of things to come. Regina might not be the villain of the second season at all.
Totally agree. I didn’t want all the answers last night. I felt very satisfied with the end knowing there is a second season. I am looking forward to rewatching all 22 episodes with some foreknowledge. Although I still believe Regina is the ultimate villian. Rumpel still has some redemptive possibilities surrounding him, but the writers have alluded that once he found out about Belle there would be some payback . It will be interesting to see if his emotions compromise him. Isn’t that what he told Emma?

Just like a Storybook 😀

I keep wondering if when the smoke clears there will be a castle in the middle of Storybrook with a clock on its tower stuck on 8:15…. I love the possibilities… Mr. Gold did say to Belle there would be time for that, time for everything…

I like that they tied so much up and yet left some new things dangling. I hate shows that are totally cliffhangers like if they had left Henry dead. I think shows that do that can be really silly because you never believe it and if they are going to kill a character i think it is bad to wait and see if they are dead until the next season. If they are dead then be dead and that be the end of it.
I agree with you. On the whole, I think many viewers are happy, as the last few episodes did anwer many questions we all had, although a couple remain, but that is what season two is for. Plus the ending gives the show a whole new direction to go in – having magic in SB.
I get why people are worried. But I also think people are forgetting the other part of the prophecy: that Emma will fight the queen.
So while the curse has been broken (sort of) she still needs to fight the Queen and save them, as she will continue to wreak havoc on them. Some other thoughts on this:
I. Is the curse really broken? Yeah there are elements that are (such as them being able to remember). But they might not be able to leave storybrooke. And they aren’t back in their land yet. So maybe we are just assuming the curse was broken (based on what Henry said). It could just be another major crack in it, but not completely broken.
II. Rumple was the one that made the prophecy. How reliable is he? I hate asking this question, because honestly I hope what we were told is the truth. And he tends to make good on his deals. But we don’t know exactly how much information he witheld etc. And what he said could be true, but not until the endgame.

Lamp, mirror, cell — poor Sidney, he always ends up locked away.

I’ve said before in a Rumpel-centric thread that Rumpel actually is a pretty honest character. From what I’ve seen, Rumpel hasn’t lied to anyone (except maybe himself). He may not be open with what he knows, he may not share the whole truth, but he doesnot outright lie.
