6×22 “The Final Battle part 2”
GENERAL: Better than the first half but still with so much “huh?!?!” going on. The Black Fairy, in the end felt so underwhelming and useless. Rumple waves a wand and she dies which breaks the curse? That’s it? This whole finale felt rather….pointless.
I guess it felt like a proper ending to OUAT: The Original Series but I can’t help but think this should be the absolute end.
RATING: 7/10
LIKED
–“Hello there, Mummy.”
–Aww, Henry wrote Emma a new book to help her remember.
–“The beanstalk that fell on me gave me pause” (I will miss Snowing. I will miss them, miss them, miss them.)
–The sword Henry uses is the same sword the little girl found…so all of us who thought the girl couldn’t be Henry’s daughter…nope!
–“It’s who I want to be.” Ahhh. Emma’s choosing to be the Savior. That’s some nice self-actualization right there. That’s a proper end to a hero’s journey.
–Belle’s cursed personality is a shut in. That actually makes loads of sense given that she’s famous for wanting “adventure in the great wide somewhere.”
–LOLOL at Henry hitting Gideon over the head with a fire extinguisher.
–“Ending isn’t happiness. Being together is.” So freaking cheesy but I responded to it.
–SVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY WISH CAME TRUE!! REMEMBER WHEN I HAD A WHOLE THREAD DEDICATED TO THE AMAZINGNESS OF SVEN?!?!
–The dwarves put “Queen”on the door. Aw.
MIXED
–Why exactly did Snow’s curse revive Charming? He wasn’t cursed?
–Well you can’t say it’s out of character for Rumple not give a single passing thought to Henry and his problems with the rest of the CharMills and only be concerned with Belle!
–Only light can snuff out light? That makes no sense. Adding light to light just makes more light!
–Suddenly Dark One Clippy Rumple appears to tell us all that nothing is easy?
–A sword wound matters not when you get TLK? Even though you’re not cursed! OKAY!
DISLIKED
–And Rumple is awake….how?
–So the curse breaks with the Black Fairy dying which was totally easy and anti-climatic!
–Gideon is forced into fighting Emma by the Black Fairy…seriously what was her purpose this year! Did she have one? She did almost nothing but cast a water’d down version of Regina’s first curse!
–Belle’s been wearing massive heels for 5 years but NOW she twists her ankle?
–Wow that big battle was horribly anti-climatic. Emma went down for a total of five seconds.
–Gideon became a baby because….? He killed the Savior! Congrats! You get a second chance at life! Thanks Henry’s TLK!
–Belle and Rumple get a fresh start without having to actually talk through their issues! So many healthy relationships on this show.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"6×21 “The Final Battle part 1”
GENERAL: Like a lot of things this year, I like the idea more than the executions and explanations. The idea of a reversed curse (sort of) is cool and Emma being crazy seems logical given all she’s been through. But there were a lot of “huh?!?!” moments in this first half. #Hope the second one is better.
RATING: 6.5/10

–“If she thinks she can rip this family apart…curses have never stopped us before.”
–Arrendale shout out! Wish they could have gotten Elizabeth Lail and Georgiana Haig back for a moment or two. Also, Sven.
–The show remembered that the “Evil Queen” had killed Snowing! That was a huge complaint from all of us after “Page 23”
–The musical cues while Hook was walking around the table were really cool.
MIXED
–Why exactly did the Curse make Fiona Henry’s mother? That’s sorta weird. Regina chose that, it wasn’t something that was a byproduct of the Curse.
–How did one of Jefferson’s hat even get to Oz?
–Emma’s belief keeps realms existing. On the one hand that’s really really cool. On the other it makes no sense whatsoever since Emma didn’t believe for the first 28 years and the realms didn’t flit out of existence. They did not pop into existence with her birth! They were always there. So why are they dependent on Emma’s belief?
–How does Emma have third person omniscient memories? She actually remembers seeing herself walk down the aisle!
DISLIKED
–“A time of great upheaval.” Oh that’s a new way of saying “we have no idea, but just follow us, okay?”
–Holy horrible outfits, Aladdin and Jasmine! Wow those are miserable.
–How did more people pop out of that hat than went in to it?!?!
–The Evil Queen and Robin just packed up and left the Wish Realm how exactly?
–No. More. Beans. Ever.
–Oof those Photoshop pics of Belle around the world!

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Next week’s episode looks soooooooo good!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"If Belle takes Rump back, I seriously think we need to have an intervention to talk some sense in her.
In recent interviews A and E make it sound like they are going to get back together because of Gideon? I dunno. I suspect Rumple has some sort of hidden agenda because he told Belle that everything he did was for her and their son and this directly before revealing he had tricked the CharMills so I think there’s something we still don’t know.
But I sorta think Rumbelle just need to divorce and focus on raising their son together but separately
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I’m surprised they didn’t want Emilie back. Considering she worked with A&E on Lost, you’d think they’d want to keep hold of their colleague especially if she would’ve been happy to continue.
Same with Bex who said leaving wasn’t her idea either. But whatever direction this story is going–wish realm, alt reality, ect–it doesn’t involve Belle and Zelena. That’s why the Wish Realm sounds like a real probable setup for S7, they’ve already established why several of the characters leaving after tonight aren’t in that realm.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Given how much news has come out–that’s been really hard to avoid–I’ll hazard that we rise to a .9 tomorrow as people come to say goodbye.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Finally got to sit down and watch “The Other Side”
I have some mixed feelings….?
–“I must have missed the election that made you chancellor again!” Bellamy. Okay, I have to admit that I’ve always (really) liked Bellamy up until last season when I thought he went off kilter. He’s been coming back in small spurts, but I really loved him all over again this week. His story with Octavia is so compelling and interesting to watch. And I like that writers are constantly denying Bellamy trying to chose between Clarke and Octavia; it’s Octavia. It’ll always be his sister that he reaches for first.
–Geez, Clarke. You left your mom’s new boyfriend out in the cold to die. That’s harsh.
–I was really irritated by Clarke this week which is surprising because usually I find her super amazing. So once the door opens then Skaikru has to make the hard choice of which people to cast out into the radiation, the same choice the other clans have made. But Clarke refuses to open the door, even though she knows it’s wrong to not, and then has the gall to hide behind “this is about saving the human race.” The heck it is, Clarke Griffin! The bunker can hold about 1300? And Skaikru only has roughly 400? That’s so much wasted space the way Clarke and Jaha have set it up. This whole time she’s been fighting for unity and trying to save as many as possible and now she’s just gonna sit back and let more than half of the world die?
–Not to belabor this Clarke point but she even says “today we have to live with being wrong” when Jaha says that yesterday they thought they were doing the right thing. Then open the door and let people in, Clarke! The writing for Clarke really irritated me this week because she’s usually pretty great, even when making hard choices.
–Okay one more thing…all this back and forth about whether or not to open the door and feeling bad about not opening the door…you could have just opened the door and saved people faster before the radiation got worse! (seriously, irritated) (look! they opened the door! and nothing happens to Skaikru because of all the radiation Jaha and Clarke keep talking about! Except that they have to do the same as the other clans! So no, Clarke. This was never about “saving the human race” it was completely about saving your people, which worked a few years ago when it really was an us vs them mentality but now you’re supposed to be one people, something you’ve been fighting for!)
–“I knew you’d come through.” “I love you so much” (melts into a puddle of Blake-family feels)
–Octavia telling Jaha that Bellamy gets a bed—that’s her version of “I love you”
–Sinclair and Raven! That was excellent. “I don’t chose pain. I chose life.” Raven, sweetie. Could you go talk to the sad sacks who are killing themselves a few doors over? Thanks.
–Speaking of, Jasper’s death was bittersweet and I’m glad it was with Monty since their stories have always overlapped. But I’m really not okay with the mass suicide plot. I agree with @sciencevsmagic that it was frustrating and pathetic. I also think it was a cheap way for the writers to get rid of a lot of Skaikru extras to make room for a more diverse group of people inside the bunker for S5.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Do you guys think whatever story is planned for next season was actually planned, like way back when the show was first got started?
Not even a little bit. I think we know this because they wanted JMo to come along for the story but she turned them down. You can’t predict or know that six years ago.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Did they renew Timeless?
NBC first cancelled it; then they heard the outcry and actually renewed it.
