I’m trying to figure out why this is the case so I’m going to try typing out my jumbled thoughts: So right before the curse is cast by Regina, Gothel magically poisons Henry. She makes Regina help cast the curse so that Henry won’t die – because Gothel will kill him if Regina doesn’t cooperate, or because the poison won’t continue to take effect in a Land Without Magic? If it’s the second, why would breaking the curse cause the poison to kick in again? Because of the magic from True Love’s Kiss? Also, why does breaking the overall curse stop Lucy from dying? Isn’t what Tremaine did to her a whole separate thing? Did I miss something major?
[adrotate group="5"]So….how did Regina cast that curse without sacrificing the thing she loved most….I’m so lost!
Ok, I was SUPER lost with this too, until I realized something. When Gothel said they needed the magic/blood from a witch who’d crushed the heart of the thing she loved most, I assumed that meant she was going to have to crush Henry’s heart for this curse, but Gothel must have just been referring to Regina having crushed her father’s heart for the first curse. So this can’t be the dark curse – at least as we know it.
Does Zelena have her magic in the Enchanted Forest? And why were her and Robyn living there?
Thank you that is another one I forgot in my rant in the likes/dislikes. When did Zelena get her magic back, since when does she use a magic wand? It kinda eliminates her sacrifice in season 6 if she just automatically got her magic back. I mean I don’t know who wrote this episode but it was like they had never watched OUAT and most certainly did not watch the first half of this season.
Who is Zelena engaged to? –Will she return to her life as Kelly after the Big Bads are dealt with?
We will probably never see or hear from Zelena’s fiance again. Whether she returns to her life as Kelly depends on if OUAT gets renewed next season or not. If it does nope Zelena will hang out giving zingers and being sisters with Regina if we get cancelled yep she will go off and live happily ever after with some random guy. What they should have done was leave Hades around and developed that romance instead of killing him off.
Bex mentioned in a recent interview how her magic was lost at the end of last season, so I have a little bit of hope they’ll at least address how she got it back somewhat.
I could see them going the direction you said with Zelena’s fiancee, but I could also see them making him actually someone from the New EF – that would be very much like Once to do that.
The Oldest part of the Enchanted Forrest is the original enchanted forest? That makes no sense. I thought this was a completely different realm and that is why there is a new cinderella, and a new rapunzel, and new whoever else. What happened to that?
Yeah, I was confused at that at first too. I’ll need to rewatch the scene to be sure, but I think the dialogue made it seem like Henry took Lucy to the Old EF, must have sent her back to New EF with Tiger Lily, and then returned back there himself. It sounds crazy, but they’ve had people portaling in and out of worlds all over the place this season, so they very well could be what they were going for. My other thought is that somehow the Old EF Realm and the New EF Realm somehow merged together at some point in the past.
Sooooooo….ummmm….when we going to meet Zelena’s fiancée?
I’m hoping he’s someone from the New EF that we’ll actually get to meet.
how the heck did Zelena get her magic back!!!! HOW!
Bet mentioned having lost her magic in a recent interview, so I’m hoping that means they’ll address it.
Liked:
– Gothel double-crossing Drizella and being the real one pulling the strings. We all saw it coming, but it was a good pay-off and makes Drizella’s story all the more tragic and interesting. I’m rooting for her more now. I also liked the Drizella’s transferring of her magic to Anastasia. Good twist.
– Drizella was frozen for 8 years. Interesting.
– Confirmation that Jack is “of the beanstalk” variety lol
– Jacinda calls Henry, not Nick, for consolation, or at least he’s who showed up.
– Incorporation of scenes from the S6 finale! I was afraid they might ignore them.
– Dania and Andrew did a good job of playing a couple who you could tell had been through some things during the time skip, in contrast to how we’ve seen them just first falling in love in the flashbacks.
Mixed:
– Love seeing Zelena back and Robyn! It’s cool, but also weird that she takes after her father considering the circumstances of her conception…I would really appreciate a heartfelt acknowledgment from Zelena to Robyn of her wrongdoing while of course still being thankful for her daughter. Please don’t sweep that under the rug, writers.
– The time skip in the flashbacks. I kind of liked it as a bold move to leave those 8+ years to be filled in. Except things felt very rushed and “Let’s get from plot point A to Plot Point B” as fast as we can.
– I actually liked TLK not working to wake up Lucy – it would have been too easy and predictable. I really liked the line they added with Regina saying, “True Love’s kiss only works if both people believe in true love.” That almost actually makes sense of why Rumple and Belle’s many Storybrooke kisses never broke his Dark One Curse…except why didn’t TLK work once he’d fully embraced their love in 7×04?
– The 8 witches. I’m interested to know more about them; backstories for them would be cool, but I can’t see how they could fit all of that into 7B. I found the last scene to be a little “meh.” They’ve left us with much better scenes and cliffhangers in mid-season finales/finales than that.
– Showing us the scene where Rumple gives Alice the cup and tells her what to do was much appreciated. I don’t know how I feel about him being “scaly Rumple” again. It sets up a potentially interesting story, but please, please, please, do not make him anything close to evil again writers.
– Regina’s line about the timeline. I laughed and was super frustrated at the same time. It was interesting though to hear Zelena say something about Robyn’s age being different in another realm. It’s puzzling, but it gives me hope they really will attempt to explain the timeline this year eventually.
Disliked:
– Why exactly did we leave the Drizella statue out in the open to be taken, and have her present at Lucy’s birthday? Look, we invited your evil step-aunt statue! LOL
– Um, wasn’t the tree Gepetto used the last of it’s kind? Also, Henry, your mom has magic – why are you wasting time chopping down the tree?
– The Alice/Hook scene in the beginning was so hard to understand. I definitely have to rewatch that scene. Something was off with the audio.
– So we “find out” Henry dies if the curse is broke (which we basically already knew), but were not given any indication why or how that all works in the flashbacks. They need the blood of a witch who crushed the heart of the one she loves most, but we didn’t see Regina do that. And if she did, they didn’t tell us how he’s still alive. Are they going to flashback to the moment after the curse was cast again and show Regina pull out some kind of macguffin? This was a question that needed to be answered in the mid-season finale.
Confirmed, OUAT returns on March 2nd, following tonight’s Winter finale.
I’m glad they went this route. It will give people who missed 7A a chance to catch up and get interested and it won’t conflict with the Olympics.
I wonder if the eight/pointed symbol (star?) is related to this coven of witches?
That they need 8 witches to activate it’s power if it is not simply a symbol for their covern?
I’d say that’s a good guess since they seem to be all standing on a giant symbol of it in the promo.
Leaving this tweet here because it might explain why they can’t get to/call SB.
To be clear, Adam did delete this tweet later but if everyone has actually traveled back in time then that would explain why they can’t reach out to SB (it’s technically Past!SB)
Very interesting. I would be ok with them going that route. It could really help explain the timeline and would be a creative reason for why they can’t have contact with Storybrooke.
It could be true, but I don’t see how she can know a character is getting killed off when they’re only “missing” for 2 episodes. She just may not be in those episodes or maybe her filming was all done via green screen for those eps.
