I really just keep wondering if the troll under the bridge statue is going to mean something or if it is really just because it is a Seattle icon. It is a mistake if it doesn’t mean anything.
I didn’t know that it’s a real thing. The bit about it holding a VW Bug probably made it irresistible for the show. With the reports of an actual VW Bug on set, I wonder if the statue is going to come alive.

Final predictions:
I think the end of the story needs to be about going forward rather than looking back to what’s already past. “Happily Ever After”, the traditional bookend to “Once Upon A Time”, is about endings, so make it the title of the second-last episode. Something that speaks of new beginnings would be good for the final episode.
Rumpel will be free of the dagger. He’ll treasure his remaining years of life, grateful for the opportunity to spend time with his family as his great-granddaughter grows up.
Storybrooke symbolizes childhood, which the characters have grown out of. The Season 7 cast won’t be returning there, but they might prepare to receive visitors from the old town.
Henry’s writer’s block has paralleled the curse. With the curse lifted, Henry will have material and inspiration for a new book, the title of which will be the final episode’s title. The closing scene will be of Henry typing away at his keyboard. “They’re here!” calls Lucy, and Henry looks out the window to see a yellow Volkswagen arriving.
(I know, Maine to Seattle in an old VW bug… Let’s say they drove through a portal.)

Is this all a nightmare of Henry’s?
KITSIS: That is not happening. If someone thinks they’re going to wake up, and Henry’s going to say that was a nightmare, and we’re going to have the original cast back, that’s not realistic, and life doesn’t work that way.I know what he means, but I can’t resist pointing out that life works that way every morning.

You think Nick will sacrifice himself for Henry and Lucy’s sake? How so?
To me, the character just seems kind of pointless otherwise: a late addition to the cast, without a crucial role in the season arc. Yet he’s both friend and rival to Henry. Even as an opponent, he’s not Henry’s enemy but rather a decent guy with a legitimate interest in having the same roles that Henry wants to have in Jacinda’s and Lucy’s lives. That could be setting the stage for a noble and tragic self-sacrifice.

This is where Jacinda’s ex — Henry’s best friend from EF2 — does a far, far better thing than he has ever done.

This text is justified. That means it will stretch out to try and touch both sides of its container, instead of having a ragged edge on the left or right. It will only do this if there’s enough text to stretch without making it hard to read, so I’m using a lot of extra text in this example to make the effect visible.Gaultheria's fanvids: http://youtube.com/sagethrasher
The glass memory people were weird to me as well. They were theoretically people being removed at the moment of their deaths so they could copy their memories into their system… Except… Bill didn’t die in the end, so she should have had a lot more memories post-Doctor, and possibly been older. Surely she didn’t still die young…
Glass-Bill and Water-Bill could both be snapshots of Original-Bill from a moment before her first body’s death.
The Rusty addition was also weird. Why did Rusty hate The Doctor so much suddenly? It’s not like they parted on bad terms… And I felt like if they were going to bring back a one-off character from Capaldi’s run, there are SO MANY MORE memorable ones than Rusty. In my opinion.
I think it’s a sci-fi version of smashing the mirror. Take your most shameful secret memory. Multiply its strength a million-billionfold. Now imagine there’s one other person — just one — who peered into your mind and saw the shame that’s the source of all your self-loathing. Can you look that person in the eye?
I’m sort of interested in how Jodie’s Doctor is going to survive the whole falling out of the TARDIS thing, but I’m mostly vaguely annoyed that they put a bit in there where the TARDIS is literally rejecting her. If it had been another regeneration into a man, it wouldn’t have had the same feeling, but it kind of gives a feeling of “See? Even the TARDIS doesn’t want a woman”.
I think it was a reference to the last time the show rejuvenated itself by changing both Doctor and showrunner. It kind of works as a birth metaphor.

Was he saying that only his children know his name or was the Doctor saying that only children–in general–know? I thought Moffat was making a statement there about how children are still capable of seeing magic and believing in fairy tales before they grow up into adults.
Hmmm… The fairy tale aspect is a theme Moffat likes, so maybe, but the reference to the Doctor’s unnamed name just makes it unnecessarily mysterious. A complicated description takes away from the emotional impact of a simple truth. But that’s Moffat’s way.

The bit about how only the Doctor’s children know his name was oddly specific. I wonder if that’ll be a recurring plot point in the new season. It sounds “bigger” than just something Susan’s parent or Jenny might have known.
(I still think Gallifrey and Skaro are the same planet in diverging timestreams. That puts one particular name at the top of the list, especially in light of what Rusty keeps saying.)

I doubt there’s any point in OUAT tackling Issues-with-a-capital-I anymore. Complainants would merely switch from saying “Why hasn’t the show dealt with X?” to “What took the show so long to acknowledge X?”.
