Because men can have babies and no know about them, whereas women are usually aware.

At least they are when they end up giving birth 🙂

I think Henry is probably cursed so he does not remember magic or the enchanted forest.  My question is how did he get to the EF in the first place and why was her there?

What was your favorite episode of S6B?

Favorite episode was Black Fairy followed by Page 23

What was your least favorite episode of S6B?

Least favorite was Awake followed closely by a Wondrous Place just because it was a complete waste of time

There were many plot threads throughout all of S6B but which was your favorite?

I loved Rumple and Gideon moments this season.  Rumple is best as a dad trying to do good by his kids.  Robert Carlyle hit it out of the field with his acting, so many feels.  I also really enjoyed the Regina this half, she had some great character development with a character that was already pretty well developed.

What were your favorite and least favorite moments?

Favorite moment would be the Rumbelle hug in 6×13,  We Rumbelle fans have been put through the ringer the last couple of season and I think we all needed that hug as much as Rumple did. My other favorite moment would be the Regina and EQ self actualization hug.

Least favorite moment would be Snow and Emma threatening to kill Gideon in Gold’s shop. It was a new time low for both characters and really badly done. Bye the way what ever happened to all the kids in the black realm, oh that’s right we ran out of time on stupid plots like Aladdin and Jasmine, and Hook doing nothing to redeem himself for killing Charming’s father.

Should this have been the end of the series?

Yes, I loved the ending montage and the ending message.  It could have and probably should have ended there.

What would you like to see in S7?

New characters, new stories, new people to care about, and NOT ruining the ending of season 6

Final grade and thoughts on S6B?

I thought they ended it well, but I was left unsatisfied by the rushing of the stories.  They should have spent more time finishing up stories instead of wasting time on crap episodes that no one really cared about (Aladdin and Jasmine).  As a Rumbelle fan I felt that OUAT took a lot of time completely destroying Rumbelle in season 6A and should have taken just as much time fixing them in 6B.  If not they should have had a HUGE character moment where Rumple CHOOSES love over power and Belle finally gets it through Rumple’s head that he is lovable and that she does and will always love him.  Instead we get a mere smearing of  Belle (when she actually has a scene) working with Rumple and trying to understand his reasoning, Rumple working really  hard to do what is right for his son, Rumple putting Belle and Gideon first (which is completely in character for him and is who he is at his core).  I would have even taken a scene where Rumple explains to Belle that he does not want to be everyone’s savior or everyone’s hero that he just wants to be her and Gideon’s savior and hero, and Belle accepting this and understanding that this is who Rumple is. Instead we get Rumple making the right choice and presto everything is fixed (I guess this is what fanfic is for someone please write Rumple and Belle actually fixing their relationship)

All in all I would give 6B an A- because at least we ended with Hope and Happily Ever Afters even if I felt they could have executed it better.

Well Lucy said that Henry needed to save their family, so maybe he meets up with Regina, Hook, and Rumple to help save the family?  I think I would prefer flashbacks.  I like the idea of Lucy being WR Henry’s daughter.  Tiger Lily seemed a little reluctant to give information to Lucy so maybe we are back to shady blue as the big bad of season 7.  I wonder how Lucy got to our world, magic bean, curse, or some other means? I am definitely interested and will tune in next season.

Great Question.

Which character will you miss the most?

Belle of course, I think she was totally underutilized especially this season.

The least?

Snow and Charming and just because I feel that their story is completely done.  They have had very little to do for the last four seasons.

Who’s story felt totally finished and who’s felt like there was more to tell?

Snow and Charming feels totally finished.  Zelena’s feels totally unfinished.  I think there was still a story to tell with Belle also.  It felt like we were just starting to get some character development from both Rumple and Belle and then nothing the end.  I think we could have seen a lot more.

[AKA]

I do like that it was the actual scene or at least close to the actual scene from the beginning of the season.  So at least we actually had Gideon fighting Emma and Emma getting stabbed.  I liked that she was willing to sacrifice herself instead of killing Gideon.  I did not like the light vs. light that made no sense.  I did like that if Emma killed Gideon who was only doing this because he did not have a choice that it would darken her heart, and therefore darkness would win. Now I know it is self defense but there should be some consequences of being the savior and it should be a willingness to die for what is right.  It is not Gideon’s fault that he is trying to kill her so for her to kill him knowing this would darken her heart.

Did it live up to all the hype? Well I thought it was an interesting way to do a battle.  It was a battle for belief which I liked because it paralleled the first season and the actualization of Emma becoming a true savior.  Which is the belief in a happy ending. So for this particular show which was supposed to be about belief and hope I thought it was appropriate.

[AKA]

Yeah this was problematic.  The only thing I can think of is that the Black Fairy’s curse was killing all the realms and part of the curse was tied to Emma’s beliefs.  So because of the BF’s Curse the realm’s were dying because Emma did not believe.  Maybe that was the price of the curse is that if Emma believed in magic then the curse would not work?

I am just going to review as a whole.  I like it and wished it was the series ending 8.5/10

Liked:

Henry’s true love’s kiss on Emma even though I don’t know how that worked it was a great parallel to the end of season 1

Evil Queen sacrificing herself to save everyone

Outlaw Queen getting a happy ending and stealing from the rich to give to the poor at least most of the time

Rumple telling his mom that all magic comes with a price and then killing her although how sad for Rumple to have to kill both his mom and dad.  This was a nice parallel to when he killed his father in season 3

Belle loosing her bravery and courage in the curse and Rumple using the book to find her.

Rumple being awake for the curse because he did not trust his mom and knew she would use Belle as leverage (how he did this I don’t know but he is Rumple so I can buy that he figured it out)

Rumple doing the right thing even when the dark one inside of him was encouraging him to make the wrong decision.

I liked the ending of  the chapter when good and evil both do the right thing the finale battle will be won. I also liked Snow’s message of New Beginnings (this is how I like Snow filled with Hope)

Henry being super useful in this episode.  I wish they had done this more often. I loved when he hit Gideon with the fire extinguisher

LOVED the ending montage felt like the series ending and I really do wish they had ended it there.

 

Mixed:

We had to assume a lot of things in this episode because there was not enough time.  Can you imagine what we could have gotten if they had not wasted episodes on Aladdin and Jasmine, Hook killing David’s father, and sorry guys the musicale.  I wish they had concentrated more on our main characters and what they were doing than wasting time.

Poor Belle still did not get much screen time and never got her heroic mother moment.  I would have loved to see her defeating the black fairy.

Disliked:

They played with how the hat worked and I don’t get how Emma was connected to all the other realms

Jasmine and Aladdin still don’t care about them, don’t want to see them, they are wasting time that needs to be spent on characters we care about.

Nah. They’ll give Hook some sort of plot device to make him suddenly and inexplicably young and handsome again(but with extra guyliner)

Yeah there is no way they will keep him how he was in the WR.

[AKA]

I just finished catching up with Lucifer with my daughter and I can’t believe King Richard from Galavant is going to play God how awesome is that!!

[AKA]

A prequel wouldn’t work because we a)had flashbacks b) know how the story ends c) run the risk of retcons galore.

That has never stopped them before, and I am not sure A and E want Hook to be old, drunk, and fat for the remainder of the show although I must say that is how I like him best.  It would also explain the big time jump they talked about.  It would be a time jump just not forward.

Another thought process is that we get both, Henry and mysterious girl in WR in the past before Belle and Snowing. Why I have no idea, but that would also make Hook younger.  I just don’t see them keeping Hook the way he was in the WR.
