Is that Garrett Wang from Voyager with her?
Also wasn’t Hope the name of Gabrielle’s evil hellspawn daughter in Xena? Foreshadowing? LOL
[adrotate group="5"]Can anyone tell me if Facilier is a good guy or a bad guy? Maybe the writers should read each others scripts and not just their own because I’m utterly confused as to what kind of man Facilier is. I mean it’s great that Henry is cured and people can stop harping on that, but why did it feel so easy and why did Facilier help at all?
Add me to the pile that is confused by Gothel suddenly being able to control random policemen with her voice and then that policeman is suddenly able to find and ‘wake’ all the missing witches …what the heck?
As I’ve already stated in ‘Her Image’ thread I thought Gothel’s backstory was stupid and uninteresting and I think it would’ve been better if she could’ve just been a villain because she’s evil or just because she’s not human and so she doesn’t see us as worth her pity or something.
Also any episode without Rumple immediately loses points with me. I am not watching this show for Jacinda thank you very much.
Alice really is an excellent actress and that cannot be said enough.
None of it made any sense. Why not just make Goethel some kind of Nymph and then maybe because she isn’t human she views us as less then her or as pets or vermin or something. She could be like The Master in Doctor Who. Why go through this nonsense with the ball gowns and the murderous blond chick like they were trying to make us feel sorry for Goethel? I really don’t feel bad for her and frankly I found it hard to believe that ball gown gal was a real person. It just didn’t work.
The twist (The Land Without Magic is actually, gasp… Goethel’s home realm!) was a genuine surprise. But that doesn’t make it a good twist. While the idea that our world (or realm) was once just one of many magical realms strung together somehow until our world went dark without magic and we were cut off from the rest of them …hey it’s kind of interesting. But the story really fell flat for me long before that even came up.
Just this once everybody lives!
Henry could show up at Emma’s apartment door, wearing a gas mask…
Are you my mummy?
I like any idea that rewrites all of Once’s mistakes. I just wish it was possible.
imagine if the final episode was Henry being magically aged down to a child, but he keeps his memories and we get to see him run through every tragedy in Once and change the outcome. Graham lives. His father lives. Just this once everybody lives! THE END
Maybe I was nodding off a bit during this episode, but did I hear Henry say that he and Jack (Hansel) slayed giants together? I thought the Giants were friendly! Is that where all these magic beans come from? Henry murdered Tiny 2.0 and all his brothers to get an endless sackful of magic beans to share out amongst the season seven cast? Not ok.
It’s also not ok with me the way Rumple keeps getting blackmailed into doing stuff using Belle’s death. Does anybody on this show have an any sympathy?
I also didn’t like when ‘Kelly’ (like Regina before her) refers to herself in the third person and acts like Zelena was a different person than she is and it’s so unfair that she should have to pay for ‘her’ mistakes. Why do Mills women have so much trouble taking responsibility for their own actions?
I thought the scene itself was good, but it would’ve been much better had they laid in some ground to make their relationship feel real. All we really got was Rapunzel doesn’t love Ivy (no real reason given) and Ivy (justifiably) resents this. If we were just given a decent reason why Rapunzel dislikes Ivy so much or if they’d sown in a few hints that she does love Ivy after all and maybe she’s just way obsessed with saving Anastasia and basically took Ivy for granted. As it stands her sacrifice came out of nowhere.
I actually wrote a fanfic many eons ago trying to address this issue. As I recall I had him choosing Belle because he had a grudge with her family going back centuries (remember when we thought the DO was thousands of years old and Rumple himself many hundred? Ah good times.) from when her ancestor had Rumple’s dagger and made Rumple do terrible things. So basically he wanted to get revenge by insuring that ancestor’s line would die out and locking Belle away in his rather large estate for life would accomplish that nicely. I don’t think that Rumple even knew he was lonely until Belle pointed it out. She saw right through him in Skin Deep.
Maybe their story didn’t play out exactly as I would’ve wished, but I’ll always love Rumbelle. Heck I even painted a quote from their wedding on my bedroom door!
I don’t know why they keep trying so hard to shoehorn in a love interest for Regina. Her character never IMO needed a boyfriend to be interesting or to find happiness. To me Regina’s journey should’ve been the long and arduous journey from villain to hero. From caring only about herself to caring about other people more than herself all while regretting and trying to make amends for her past actions. If she found a man (who wasn’t already canonically taken) along the way..great! But it’s been frustrating that like Emma, they’ve made so much of Regina’s story center on finding a man.
