I actually would like flash forwards ti switch things up. I quite enjoyed them in LOST. I’m intrigued that Henry’s wife and Lucy’s mother is not Violet. And I’m intrigued about a new big bad. Bc honestly, who on Earth is left?
I was so glad that Emma and Hook were never proved to be true love.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought the show proved they were true love in the episode Firebird. Or do you conveniently forget that?
Ok, so here’s quickly what I thought:
Part 1: 5/10
– I thought this half was garbage. It was basically Henry telling Emma to believe and Emma telling Henry what he was saying wasn’t real and didn’t happen. The whole adventure with Hook and Charming was bad. The bean was useless and wasn’t even used. They just needed some sort of filler in the EF.
However, I loved Jefferson’s hat and seeing all the realms again. And I loved that the new curse would take away all the realms. That’s huge.
Part 2: 8/10
Liked:
– The final battle- I thought I was going to hate that there wouldn’t be an actual battle. But I actually ended up liking it. I liked that the final sentence was that both evil and good made the right decision and the final battle was won and they lived happily ever after…or something like that. I thought that both sides, good and bad (Rumple and Emma) coming together to make the right decision, made a lot of sense and I liked it.
– The EQ being back and getting out of the wish realm, and finding love with Robin Hood…Oh and sacrificing herself.
– Rumple making the right choice. I thought this was an incredible way to end his character. He truly could have had everything but he made the right choice in the end and while he didn’t get to see Neal again, he was rewarded by getting to raise Gideon with Belle.
– The stakes were high for a series finale I thought. ALL the realms and the people in it would be destroyed. The book was destroyed. The black smoke approaching them was more ominous. EQ was holding it off. Doors were disappearing. Black Fairy was going to destroy everything so that the laws of magic wouldn’t apply to her and she could bring people back from the dead….and she dangled this in front of Rumple who could get Neal back. Good stuff for a series finale.
– Rumple and Belle get a fresh start with Gideon. I’m still a little unclear why he was returned to baby form. I guess since his mission the Black Fairy imposed on him was complete and Black Fairy was dead, him being aged up in the dark realm with her was all reversed. I can buy it simply bc I love that they get to raise him now together. I actually thought the end to their arc was the best here. Although, I kind of wish Black Fairy had killed Belle instead of making her a shut in. It would make sense that she wouldn’t want Belle around bc Gideon would never look at Black Fairy as his true mother, and Black Fairy, being the one who raised him, would be jealous of this. And then Rumple killing her who feel even more justified. But nope. Just shut in Belle.
Mixed:
– Emma should have died. This is Harry Potter all over again. Like the sacrifice but hate the resurrection. Henry kissing her was nice, but it was so fast, as opposed to when Emma kissed Henry when she realized he had died. And she slowly walks up to his hospital bed in tears. Here, Emma dies and Henry just kisses her so fast…it felt incredibly rushed.
Disliked:
– So TLK can bring people back from the dead? The fact that Snow’s kiss saved Charming from death is ridiculous. The fact that Henry’s kiss saved Emma from death is ridiculous. I know technically Emma saved Henry’s life when she kissed him, but it made sense that she saved his life bc it broke the curse! There was no curse here when Henry kissed Emma. The curse was already broken when Black Fairy was killed.
– How was Rumple able to avoid the curse? Why didn’t the curse affect Henry? Was his punishment that he would be the only one who knew the truth? I don’t get it.
– The kiss reversal between Snow and Charming was forced. The kiss reversal between Henry and Emma was good, but felt rushed and I still think Emma should have just died.
– Hook surviving the massive beanstalk fall. Like seriously?
– Belle and her foot injury. Lol. Get her off the show.
– Black Fairy was defeated way too easily. With such high stakes, I feel like a mini battle could have taken place with Rumple and Black Fairy.
I honestly don’t know how I feel about the reboot. I’m glad that a bunch of the characters aren’t back bc it gives them room to tell original stories again and not write the same flashback of Snow being hunted by the EQ. However, although it appears it will be the same premise, I hope it isn’t. Obviously they can’t do a dark curse again where everyone forgets who they are, etc. So hopefully they can spin something new. I will watch it, but am very pessimistic on how it will be. But having arguably the three biggest fan favorites (Rumple, Regina, Hook) come back will help a little I think.
Someone’s got to die in the finale, Zelena seems like the most likely.
The closer we get to the finale, the more I think only the Black Fairy is biting the dust. The only one who I think could die now is Gideon.
Put me on the list of not wanting it to be the Wish Realm. I don’t want to feel like what I’m watching isn’t exactly real. And I know the Wish Realm exists and is real, but that’s just how I look at it.
And for that matter, the Black Fairy can’t kill Emma. So what kind of final battle could this possibly be? I just feel like I’m going to be let down.
Both me and my 12-yr old daughter were in tears! It was everything we’d hoped it would be. It was a beautiful, picture perfect fairy tale wedding. I loved Emma’s dress, Killian’s suit, the terrace venue, the colors, everyone happy and singing/dancing afterwards – it was a true celebration. A celebration of not just their love but how much they accomplished, how far they’ve come as a couple. Which is why I wish the series had ended on that happy note, their “new beginning”. It would have been a perfectly satisfying ending, in my opinion.
Funny you mention this….after rewatching the episode, I too felt like it could have been a series finale (assuming they also defeated the Black Fairy in this episode. The end was perfect to sum up the show with everyone there and I just thought the music was so good. It felt like a good episode to close the show on.
This is so disappointing…….
But as a big Regina fan, the only reason why I am going to watch this season is if she’s the main focus now with Emma gone. Give her all the spotlight. Her story isn’t finished. She hasn’t found love yet. And at least for me, her story arc has been the best with the strongest writing so if a season 7 gives the writers the proper time to finish her story, that is literally the only reason why I will watch it. If the season is going to center on an adult henry……I guarantee I will not be as interested.
And who the heck are the villains going to be? They have run out. Like who is left?
