    Count me in as a fan. It’s incredible! I too would like to actually see it on Broadway, but getting tickets is next to impossible. I live a train ride away from NYC, so I might end up trying the digital lottery several times this Summer. Sadly the digital lottery is tough, because they only have about 21 lottery tickets available per performance.

    I wondered which of us would say it first.

    This is on my list as well, even if I didn’t put it down. It’s time. We can all go on and on about ratings and ABC and blah blah blah, but narrative-wise, I think it’s time to wrap this up because the cracks having been showing for awhile now and every season they get more and more noticeable.

    I have to agree, but on the condition that Adam and Eddy are given some sort of heads up well in advanced, or they at least anticipate that this could be the end. I don’t want a rushed, last minute conclusion. So I guess my wish is that they at least write the 2nd half of Season 6 with a conclusion in mind, or that they get to have one more planned final Season.

    1) I wouldn’t mind seeing other former villains split with Jekyll’s serum. Not only would it be fun to see the evil versions of the characters back, but it would also be fresh to see these characters directly face off against their worst selves. This could be a viable opportunity for character development, if they get to see just how bad their worst selves are first hand.

    2) It would be nice to finally get Aladdin and Jasmine.

    3) The explanation for what happened between Will and Anastasia. What if Will lost Anastasia to the Land of Untold Stories?

    4) Finally exploring the search for Lily’s father, after being put on hold for an entire Season.

    5) For Rumple to finally come to an ultimatum, regarding his love for Belle vs his love for power.

    6) I would like more of a balance, in terms of how much screentime and development each of our regulars get. Sidelining some of our regulars has been a long ongoing problem with this show.

    7) Better usage of flashbacks. Give us more flashbacks that actually serve a larger purpose. Not only do filler flashbacks take time away from present day story, but they also take time away that could have gone to more important flashbacks. We were robbed of a Hades and Zeus flashback this past Season. So in short, I still want flashbacks to be a part of this show, but only if they’re relevant and make sense for the story arc.

    8) Maybe we do need to go back to Season 1’s structure of one arc spanning across the entire Season. I think the Untold Stories storyarc has the potential to last an entire Season.

    9) Less usage of Magical MacGuffins. I swear I could create a logline for a typical episode these days by playing MadLibs. “On the next episode of Once Upon a Time, (insert character) must find (insert Magical MacGuffin) in order to (insert reasoning).” It’s like the writers have a plot generator akin to this.

    10) Less recycling of previous Once Upon a Time storylines. Self-plagiarism has been a thing on this show for quite some time, but it was especially obvious in Season 5. It felt like we were going in circles. I’m looking at you, Rumple.

    On the slim chance that the show does get saved somewhere, Mark NEEDS to have a guest role!

    Maybe he could play the DEL, the Dark Evil Lord?

    I wonder if when you turn the DVD cover if you’ll see S5B’s poster

    Quote

    I’m guessing the lenticular cover would include both that 5B poster, and the heads of other main characters on the bottom of the apple.

    Poole? I thought he was called Paul?

    It’s Poole. He’s named after the character of the same name from the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde novel.

    When the coins were raining down on Charming and co in Hyde’s world, all I could think was: Isn’t that potentially lethal to them? They tell you not to throw coins or anything else off the Eiffel tower/ Empire state building because as it falls, it picks up speed and can do some serious injury/damage to whatever it hits. Suddenly there are all these coins falling from the sky. Even if it’s not coming at them from a great height and speed, it would still hurt because they’re still having lots of pieces of metal thrown at them.

    My first thought was that the whole pennies falling from the sky thing was a nod to the song “Pennies from Heaven”:
