At the very least, they probably know this will be the final season so at least if it moves to Friday nights, maybe they can get away from being too family-friendly and they can do more dark stuff
[adrotate group="5"]Oh it’s totally over…but there’s no way I will agree that moving the night can only help the show. During football season, sunday nights are the worst night to be on tv and it’s not even close…especially with game of thrones and walking dead too! Sure, people go out on Friday nights but much of Oaut’s audience probably stays in with their kids. It’s won’t save the show, but I don’t think it’s gonna hurt it at all and if anything, I think it’s a good thing to get away from the sunday night deathtrap.
You know, actually, putting it on a new night, with a reboot of a show where new viewers can tune in and not feel lost, actually could help the show. It won’t save it but sunday nights were tough for tv, especially with football season.
I liked that both dark and light had to make the right choice and as a result, the final battle was won. I liked that Emma sacrificed herself, and I like that Rumple made the right choice. I thought it was a good way to end both character’s arcs. And then Rumple is rewarded by getting to rasie Gideon with Belle and Emma gets rewarded by getting resurrected by Her son’s TLK.
I’m still not sure what her motivation for anything was; just because she’s “evil” and Emma’s good?
I agree we needed to see more of her. However, her motivation I thought became pretty clear in the finale. She wanted to wipe out Emma’s belief so that all the realms would be destroyed and the people in them so that she could just have her family and all the power she wanted without the laws of magic to abide by (like bringing people back from the dead). She wanted to kill everyone and be the only one left running a small town and having all the power with her two sons (Gideon and Rumple).
1) What was your favorite episode of S6B?
The Song in Your Heart, Strange Case, Heartless, Awake, Changelings
2) What was your least favorite episode of S6B?
Tie between Street Rats and A Wondrous Place. Hated what they did with Jasmine and Aladdin and Jafar
3) There were many plot threads throughout all of S6B but which was your favorite?
I suppose I enjoyed the Gideon/Black Fairy dark realm plotline the most. Although I enjoyed how the EQ plotline came to a close with Regina accepting herself.
4) What were your favorite and least favorite moments?
Favorites: Regina accepting herself and the EQ, Hook saving Belle and killing Jekyll and Hyde, the whole music episode (especially Emma’s song bring her story full circle), the black fairy and her portrayal up until the final episode), Rumple and Belle getting to raise a baby Gideon and starting over, Zelena giving up her powers, Rumple meeting black fairy for the first time in Changelings, EQ’s new curse on Snowing in Heartless
Least Favorite: Jafar being defeated, Aladdin turning into a genie, the stupid wish realm, Hook killing Charming’s father and not getting the closure I wanted to that storyline…nothing else sticks out as bad for me….just blah
5) Should this have been the end of the series?
Yes, but that doesn’t mean I’m not a little intrigued by S7, and it also doesn’t mean that I don’t view this as one book closed and S7 being a different story and a new book. It’s technically still OUAT but it won;t be the same in my mind unless they close out the show next season with similar themes and with the three remaining cast members.
6) What would you like to see in S7?
New story with new characters and the three old ones popping up occasionally. Tell a fresh story with similar themes. Give me a new villain (the darkness), give me a new fairy tale character (Lucy’s mom) and let’s tell a fun original season 1 esque story. And no more flashbacks of Regina trying to kill Snow!!! yes finally. I would like to see flashforwards as well to mix it up. That could be cool.
7) Final grade and thoughts on S6B?
B. Liked a lot of it, hated some of it. Was overall happy with how it ended.
Everyone in EF should have forgotten their memories and therefore lost belief. Rumple would still break the curse by killing Black Fairy, but at least the realms would be crumbling bc of everyone losing belief.
I think the belief is a good idea, but i agree it should be the collective belief, not just Emma’s.
Put me in the same group who feel the idea that belief holds the realms together is perfect. But it should have been everyone and not just Emma’s belief.
Looks like Lucy’s mother isn’t violet, but is actually a storybook character which I like. And it also looks like whatever the darkness was, that is our new villain for S7.
