    1) What was your favorite episode of S4B?

    Easily Operation Mongoose Part 1. That one hour felt magical and very much like the show I fell in love with so many years ago.

    2) What was our least favorite episode of S4B?

    Heart of Gold. This episode was cringe worthy bad, with plot holes, bad dialogue, bad story lines and highly questionable morals.

    3) Did you prefer S4A (Frozen) or S4B (The Queens of Darkness)?

    S4B by a long shot. Finally the show felt like it was getting back to its roots and not focusing so much on the bright and shiny Disney FanFic. It felt like we could have real conversations, like we used to, that were about fate and free will and destiny and not just “here is the plot. Discuss.”

    4) Who was your favorite QoD?

    Cruella, obviously. Which is weird since I was so against her being on the show in the first place. Victoria Smurfit nailed it.

    5) What was your favorite plot twist?

    Probably the AU. It was incredibly fun to see all the twists and turns. Also really loved Henry becoming the next Author.

    6) What was your least favorite plot twist?

    Zelena being alive and pregnant with Robin’s baby. Once Upon A Soap Opera. Zelena and her her pregnancy and her miraculous resurrection added nothing to this story, either the Queens of Darkness one or the Author one. It was just for OutlawQueen drama but doesn’t do anything except make Robin look bad and make the entire situation look incredibly squicky

    7) Overall grade for S4B and finale thoughts?

    Overall grade: B

    The Queens of Darkness were a mere distraction to the real story: the Author and the role reversal of the heroes and villains. Ursula and Cruella were really just around to kill time. Mal got more screen time and more development but that was only because of her ties to Lily who, after her own centric, ended the season with a whimper and not a bang. So much for that anti-Savior idea. This season felt far more organic and natural to the series as a whole because it tried to distance itself from the villains of the arc (who were, again, not really the point of the season) and focus more on the fundamentals of good and evil. However Adam and Eddy and the show continue to get bogged down in their own shipping drama and in their need to have big shiny Tweetable moments as opposed to quiet and introspective ones. But, it was a lot better than Frozen.

    Maybe I am not remembering right but didn’t henry say something like “I had a really good teacher”. Which of course means Neal and also that hook taught Neal …so I actually thought it was a super sweet moment that was honoring both hook and Henry’s memories of Neal.

    He says, I had a really good teacher: you (meaning Hook)

    noticed Regina said “NO” to Emma when Emma was trying to save her, question, why did the dark things go after Regina?

    I think it’s because of all the people in the street right then and there she and Emma were the only ones who use light magic? It didn’t go after Emma possibly because she has too much light magic?

    She’s off in the wilderness, being tempted

    If true, do I get to say that I called it?

    Curious on what type of Dark One Emma would be, for remember even when Rumple started out as the Dark One he still tried to do things with good intentions just with a Dark Twist, and since the Darkness is attached to a human host said human host must have some influence over the Dark One, Rumple certainly did, and Emma certainly will, and since Emma has had good experience in her life especially with her family by her side, I’m curious what type of internal struggle will be inside of her compared to Rumple’s internal struggle.

    Quote

    I get the feeling that A and E will make Emma as Dark as she was once Light. I’m not so sure we’ll see Emma internally struggling.

    Speculate: where did Emma go?

    I have a lot I want to say but can’t. Most of it was said as we watched tonight.

    At least he got to give some plot exposition before he croaked? Handy, that was.

    Same. I kept going, “okay, stop the black tornado now and end it. We know what’s happening. Stop beating the scene to death.” But again, we were all so spoiled.

    So much for a super top secret ending when it was filmed right out in the open in Steveston, with fans all there to view. At least with last year’s finale scene, they didn’t film it in public, and they kept it a surprise from even the main cast.

    Yeaaaaaaaaah. About that. LOL.
