Ahhhhh….seven years…so much to choose from! LOL!
1) What was your favorite all time episode of OUAT? (feel free to pick more than one if you really can’t decide between a few)
Omg…this will probably the toughest, but if I can choose the top three….hmmm…..
- Stable Girl, Skin Deep, Sisters, & Is This Henry Mills….all four of those are tied for me, but at the same time…Stable Girl & Skin Deep will always hold a beautiful & tragic place in my heart because for me that’s technically where this whole tale started…from the Dark One and then to the Evil Queen.
2) What was your least favorite all time episode of OUAT? (feel free to pick more than one if you really can’t decide between a few)
This one’s easy because my least favorite episode hasn’t changed in the course of 7 years, lol!
- Selfless, Brave, & True….hands down, the boringest OUAT Episode to ever air! LOL!
3) What was your favorite and least favorite season of OUAT?
Favorite) Season 1: Anyone whose been here from October of 2011 up until now will tell you that Season 1 is hands down the greatest OUAT Season….EVER!!! No ship wars, no plot holes, no terrible timeline, no lame excuses….just pure original entertainment! Season 1 is and always will be the best season for me!
Least Favorite) Season 4: Omg….this is hardddd….but ummm…if overall half I would say Season 5A…but if I just had to pick a season, it would have to be Season 4! Ingrid & Cruella were the best parts about Season 4…that’s it….everything else was just meh.
4) Who was your favorite and least favorite MAJOR (meaning, regular cast member) character?<u></u>
Favorite Major) Regina Mills, the Evil Queen has been my favorite since October 2011 when she interrupted the wedding with the infamous line: “Sorry I’m Late”. It’s been seven years and I’ve never shifted in my feelings, I just feel personally she was the best overall written character on OUAT. Her redemption was not easy, but that made it real…she backslid but she caught herself, but Regina is such an inspiration for hope and redemption, and her message is as Lana Parrilla once said, “Good can come from broken”. I’m going to miss this character so much, but I know she will always live on in the hearts of all the Evil Regals that her story touched and changed for the better! #LongLiveTheQueen
Least Favorite Major) I wanna say badly Hook, but I think it would be entirely unfair because Season 7 showed that Hook had SOOOOOOOOOO much more potential than the Swan Obsessed guy we got for the last other 5 seasons! So he’s not my least favorite, he’s just not my preferred because of how Adam and Eddy just totally wasted his potential in order to make him obsessed with Emma. But I loved Wish Realm Hook…absolutely loved him and his story with his daughter Alice…yeah….that was really great!!!
5) Who was your favorite and least favorite MINOR (meaning only made brief appearances, either a single episode or more but never a regular cast member)
Favorite Minor) I understand this said minor, but since she was not apart of the other seasons, I’m going with Alice because I could watch a spin off show starring her and Robyn and be just as content, LOL!!! Alice was hilarious, sweet, charming, and just tugged at my heart strings in a way OUAT hasn’t done in a while….so I definitely loved Alice!!!
Least Favorite Minor) Dr. Jekyll….I just….I didn’t like him! I would have preferred Hyde for all of Season 6….but Jekyll….yeah…glad he was gone, just hated Hyde had to go with him.
6) What do you think OUAT’s biggest success story was? And what was their biggest mistake?<u></u>
Biggest Success) The story between the Evil Queen & Snow White will always be one of their greatest successes. We were taken from when they first met, to the betrayal, and slowly down the path of evil and eventually into an all out war between these two women that technically lasted over 30 years if we count the curse, and eventually we saw these same women become not only friends, but family again….they put their lives on the line for one another and taught one another the most important lessons. Regina taught Snow White about True Love & Keeping Faith, and Snow White taught Regina the meaning of Hope and how to accept both the good and evil in her. At the start of the series, they were mortal enemies and toward the end, it was if they were back in a mother and daughter relationship, and that plus the RegalBeliever storyline will always be one of the greatest storyline successes of Once Upon A Time.
Biggest Failure) Too many to legit count LOL!!! But if I just had to pick one….I would say Season 7’s overall storyline. The ending was beautiful but Season 7’s storyline could have been vastly improved!
7) Would you recommend OUAT to someone?
Would I recommend…I’ve been doing it for years. Do I ever try to explain the story, family tree, and overall plot… (Beep) No!!! LOL!!!!
8) What is the legacy of OUAT?<u></u>
In the words of Cinderella: “No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing…the dream that you wish will come true.” Overall legacy is….happy endings can be real, but they must be fought for and always believed in.
9) Grade the entire series!
S1 is always an A+….S2-4 gotta be a B-….S5-S7 is a C+.
Overall series grade…I’ll say an 88% B+.

Zorro and Regina was almost real guys….my wishful OTP! Seven years of waiting, only for it to get snatched away! LOL!!!
"If you go as far as you can see...you will then see enough to go even further." - Finn Balor
Since it was a curse the unified things….I like to tell myself that it unified all the timelines thus sending things back to the ordinary timeline and plus unifying the Wish Realm Characters with their Real Characters…therefore it’s just one set of everyone living in the same timeline with all the realms living together in Storybrooke. It’s crazy but it’s what I tell myself… LOL!!!

Personally…I don’t really know if Regina wanted to be Queen of all the Realms, that was never what she truly wanted at the start of her life, however I think she sees it now as more of a responsibility.
The only person who was heir to all of these worlds and lands was technically Henry….he has a family tie to every realm, therefore I think he should’ve been made King of the Realms. But it is what it is at this point, and at least it was a cute ceremony and ending.

Omg….this is the last one, I’m going to start crying again!

Leaving Storybrooke…it was a beautiful wrap up and held some of that old classic OUAT Charm!
Runner Up: 6×20 “Is This Henry Mills?”
My emotions skyrocketed through the roof with this one because it hit home on my RegalBeliever Feels!
2) What was your least favorite episode of S7B?
7×07 Eloise Gardener….I can barely remember this episode but I know I pretty much held such disdain for it! LOL!
Runner Up: 7×19 Flower Child….I literally watched Mother Gothel all season, and just couldn’t take her seriously enough as a threat! I halfway think Wish Rumple could have been the Antagonist for all of Season 7 and it would’ve made more sense!
3) What was your favorite/least favorite moment of S7B?
Favorite Moment: My favorite moment is Henry breaking the curse and then Regina reading the letter that Young Henry sent her as we get that beautiful montage of the reunion taking place.
Runner Up Favorite Moment: Seeing Rumple finally reunite with Belle after dying a true hero!
Least Favorite Moment: Anything with that god awful Dr. Facilier & Regina romance they tried selling us.
4) We didn’t really meet any new characters in S7B but overall, which character who hadn’t appeared in S1-6 did you most enjoy? And which one did you not enjoy at all?
Most Enjoy: ALICE! Hands down Alice! Alice was the best thing to happen to OUAT in the last several seasons and I thoroughly enjoyed not only her personal journey but her romantic tale with Robyn! Alice was truly one of the bright saving graces of this season and I only wish she had somehow arrived on the scene earlier!
Least Enjoy: It’s gotta be between Gothel and Facilier….neither one just really did anything for me.
5) If you could change anything about S7B what would it be?
Sweet Oz, where do I even start?! LOL!!! Understandable that we couldn’t have all the original cast back, but we could’ve really used more Zelena. I would change all of Henry’s situation with being married to Cinderella and all that terrible extra, the only good that came out of that was Lucy. Definitely would’ve given Henry a stronger storyline…would’ve made more value of Hansel…focused on more believable threats like a Wish Realm Maleficent rather than Mother Gothel…and would’ve given Regina a far superior love story than Dr. Facilier.
Technically speaking….both Regina and Zelena could have fallen in love with two mortals, and seeing how that play out would have been far more interesting than her “walk of shame” from Facilier.
6) Did OUAT deserve another year? Or was it right to cancel it now?
It was without a doubt time to write “The End” on this series. It was a beautiful seven years, but we’ve had our fun, we’ve made our memories, and we’ll always have them! It was a good wrap up!
7) Final Grade/Ranking for S7B?
It was better than the first half without a doubt, and was a good enough wrap up for the series!
Ranking: 8.4/10
Final Grade: B

I am ultimately proud of Rumple! From Season 1 to now…his character has fully redeemed himself and he brought me to tears with his sacrifice and his happy ending….Bobby Carlyle is phenomenal and has always been one of the greatest in the cast, and I’m just beyond happy that he was our Rumplestilskin.

Rating: 9/10
It was magical and a perfect ending….
Liked:
Robyn & Alice….the best ship of Season 7!!! Hands down!!!
The Parallel of Evil Henry & Evil Queen….the apple really didn’t fall too far from the tree and I loved seeing what a potential “Evil King” Henry would be like! Seeing Regina pull her son from the same darkness and road to vengeance that she herself was on for so long, one of the greatest moments of not only the season but the series!!!
They did not have to ruin my feels like this….Robin Hood and Regina together again, even in a dream is so beautiful and makes me so freaking emotional!! That red feather…hope….I’m emotional!!
Rumple’s big plan of trapping every hero in a storybook…okay…I gotta admit that’s new!
Snowing….I never would’ve thought I’d miss them but Season 7 needed more of the original cast!
That Round Table Speech….feels like Classic OUAT!!! Snow and her hope speech…ever a classic!
Rumple’s progress….it’s so beautiful to see!!!
Regina’s one last goodbye to Rumple!!! IM IN TEARS!!!
All the realms united, the Good Queen, and One Happy Beginning…..Thank You OUAT!
Disliked:
I was SOOO close to that Zorro/Regina Ship!!! LOL!!!! Literally, that close guys!!

Dang it!!! I was sooo close to getting that Zoro & Regina love story!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Adam — this is you from the future — the show will last 7 seasons. Plan accordingly and good luck, (Also, whatever you do, don't forget to get to Zorro…)

I have been…surprisingly emotional today. I honestly didn’t think I’d feel anything but relief but, as I should have expected emotions are far more complicated.
Me too!!! Looking back over the last seven years….wow! It’s really been something!!!

This is our last hurrah!
May have more than two though…
Season 1:
The Backstory & Classic Tale of Snow White & the Evil Queen
Season 2:
Regina learning from her mother’s mistake and willingly letting Henry go.
Cora & Regina…
Season 3:
Regina’s backstory with Baby Henry and then saving Henry!
Regina ultimately blessing Henry and Emma with new memories of a better life while she’s gives him up to undo the very curse that she cast. This I believe was the first real milestone in her redemption arc….
The Outlaw Queen & Wicked Sisters Reveal/Storyline
Regina breaking the curse by kissing Henry….yeah, the tears were strong!
Season 4:
Henry willingly comes home to his mother will always be one of the most touching scenes for me!
Definitely the Shattered Sight Episode…Ingrid’s death still remains one of the saddest to me!
Cruella De Vil!!! We all had so much doubt about her, I think Matthew was the only one who said she may shock us and end up being our favorite, and he was spot on right!
Season 5:
Neal & Emma’s reunion…
Regina getting closure with both of her parents and seeing them through to “Heaven”…and Cora reuniting her daughters….that episode and Henry Sr. Episode moved me so much!!!
Season 6:
Hands down…Regina learning to accept and love herself for who she is, the good, the bad, and the magical….
“And now I love myself…” best moment of the entire season 6 for me!
Season 7:
Henry & Regina’s flashback scenes and his letter, and their reunion/breaking curse….yeah…hardest I ever cried watching this series so far!
