I have the oddest feeling that if Season 6 will be our final season, Adam and Eddy are going to just do a complete 360 with this show. I mean seriously, whatever original plans they had, I’ve got a feeling they’re going to do it because it’ll be the last season, fans can stop watching, it won’t change anything. ABC can’t cancel them, it’ll be the last season. Mark my words….Adam and Eddy are going to “Roseanne” us and flip this entire show on it’s head.
I don’t much expect that Emma and Neal will resolve anything, especially in light of JMo’s recent interviews. Neal died with everything 100% resolved? Seriously? I don’t think ‘resolved’ means what she thinks it means, then
Yes. What *was* that??? I had read the article about 1ox because I was convinced I was missing something vital–or at had lost the ability to understand English.
JMo is just as confused as the rest of us…that I’m certain!

I’m bracing myself for the worst, and will have to have at least one alcoholic beverage before watching, and probably a few more after.
LoL!!!! I’ve got the biggest feeling we’re all gonna be like Maleficent right after this episode airs…

WHO??? GRAHAM?
Given that it’s Regina centric, running into Graham in the Underworld would be quite fitting. Though you wouldn’t think a moment that addressed Regina seeing someone she killed would be played for “great comedic effect”. Unless…Graham’s handcuffed for whatever reason and makes a crack about how that’s not really his thing…and I’m only joking…but now I’m scared they could do it.
Regina: Why are you handcuffed to the jail cell? (Smiles)
Graham: (Chuckles) Wasn’t this sort of our thing back in the day?
Robin: (Glances suspiciously between Regina and Graham.)

SEASON 3
3A
Favorite Episode: Save Henry 3×09
Not only did we cast aside the rumors that Regina’s adoption of Henry was illegal, but Regina did the (beep) thing in Neverland. She brought down the one man even Rumplestilskin feared, saved her son, and used Pan’s Shadow to get them the heck out of Neverland! And it was also this episode, even Rumple had to tell her that she raised Henry well, despite her initial fears of parenthood.
Favorite Character Introduced: Tinkerbelle
I just found this little green cupid to be a wonderful addition to Once Upon A Time, and not only did she try to help Regina find what she needed. Plus she really stuck it up to the Blue Fairy. And nobody can talk some sense into Regina like Tinkerbelle could, well Maleficent did too. Her and Regina’s relationship was just really good….and I really miss Tinkerbelle, we could really use her during these trying times.
Favorite Moment of the Season: The Queen’s Sacrifice
Coming full circle with the curse, Regina cursing everyone to gain her own happy ending. Regina sacrificing her happy ending, aka her son, to save everyone she cursed…for me personally, I think this was the highlight of her redemption arc! Her undoing the curse was just a perfect parallel to her casting the curse.
Reflections:
I think we spent enough time in Neverland, that was the whole promotion and plan, so I expected to be in Neverland for quite a while.
Making Peter Pan a villain was purely unique, there was always something odd about a boy coming to whisk children off into the night.
I remember when we all suspected brothers, so it was quite a surprise when Peter Pan turned out to be Rumple’s father. But the groundwork they laid into the characters, as well as the backstory that they share…I can see why Rumple was frightened of his father given their history, though I really would have loved to explore it a little more when Rumple was the Dark One Rumplestilskin.\
Rumple’s sacrifice was perfect….end of story. Like Regina undoing the curse, Rumple manning up to face his father even without magic, showed that he was not so much of a coward like we thought, he stood tall and faced his number one fear and defeated it, saving everyone he’s brought misery to….this was the Rumple I wish they had continued developing!!!!
It’s been a while since I reflected on Season 3, but it was a nice season.

Discussion Points
– Favorite Episode of the Season
– Favorite Character Introduced
– Favorite Moment of the Season
– What were your thoughts on Zelena being Regina’s sister?
– How did you react to Neal’s death? ? Note: Please don’t bring up SwanFire vs CaptainSwan, for the sake of everyone’s sanity.
– Had Neal lived, how would the rest of 3B been different?
– What did you think of the twist that it was Regina who defeated Zelena with light magic instead of Emma?
– What were your thoughts on the show exploring the concept of time travel?
– Regarding this Season, has your opinion changed at all looking back?
– Did the split season work for this full season?Favorite Episode: 3×20 Kansas
I think I had more favorite moments out of 3B than favorite episodes, but Kansas was a pretty good episode. Parallel Regina coming to get Baby Emma, to Zelena coming to get Baby Snowflake….Henry believing in his mother, who defeated Zelena using the light magic in her, which we never saw again. Kansas was just one of the better ones I remember.
Favorite Character Introduced: Zelena
Because there’s really no one else to choose from, and despite her backstory which could have been done so much better, I’ll have to say Zelena. When we first met her, Bex and Lana just had those sister vibes that beamed I love and hate you at the same time, and it just clicked. Plus Zelena has one of the best one liners besides Regina.
Favorite Moment: Too Many
There were just too many….I’ll just list them and save the best for last. Regina first meeting Zelena, All of Regina and Zelena’s showdowns, the sassoffs between Regina and Robin in the missing year, the mother/daughter friendly talks that Regina and Snow had, Regina trying to save Snow from Cora (irony). But the two that stood out the most to me had to be Regina and Zelena’s talk in the jail cell…I think that was the first time we really saw these two look at each other as sisters and not mortal enemies. And the picnic Regina and Robin had in her office….that is still one of my favorite OutlawQueen moments….when it was easier to ship.
3B Reflections:
My thoughts on Zelena being Regina’s sister….that I was right! I called that thing right after 3×11 went off and they showed the spring promo….you guys thought I was crazy, but I hung onto that Headcannon until it came true. I still have a lot of cookies from all the bets against WickedSisters! XD
Neal’s death….let’s just say it wasn’t pretty. I do remember a lot of screaming and sobbing both at my house and in the SF Thread, after that we all sort of blacked out and were in a state of shock, then denial, and right now we’re kind of stuck between anger and acceptance, but we’re getting there. Slowly but surely.
Neal surviving would have done a lot better to the show because there were moments that could have been, but due to his death, will never be.
I personally loved the fact that it was Regina to defeat Zelena rather than Emma. It wasn’t Emma’s fight nor sibling, so obviously it should be Regina to win…I’m bitter about the fact it happened so quickly…there wasn’t even a magical showdown. At least with Regina vs Maleficent, we had spears and fireballs flying….I think they could have done a bit better with Evil vs Wicked Showdown, especially since they hyped it all up.
Time Travel was…hmm…interesting. It was neat for Emma to see her parents before they became the legends they are now.
My opinion hasn’t changed that much concerning this season, but I do miss the flow this season had.
Yes and No….for myself, I can’t imagine watching twenty two episodes of Neverland or their version of Oz, however certain storytelling points were lost due to the limitation of eleven episodes an arc.
Ending thoughts on this season is that I really wish Rumple hadn’t tried to kill Zelena at the end of 3B because I do think she was actually considering Regina’s offer to change her ways, but what Rumple did both himself and her back. And having Zelena and Regina witness the relationship Elsa and Anna had in Season 4, I think that really could have helped them grow in their sisterly relationship. And it just kills me that Adam and Eddy cut Regina’s line to Zelena in 3B, when she looked back at her sister in her cell and told her “It’s nice to have family in town.”
Overall, 3B was neat and nice. Nothing to do a big Hurrah over, but I’ll settle for what it was. For old times sake I’ll scream this out….OUTLAWQUEEN AND WICKEDSISTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that most people seem to think that Jennifer likes Captain Swan, but i don’t think she does. I think she makes fun of it in the same way she used to make fun of Swan Queen. She laughs at it because she thinks it is silly. I do think there is this weird thing though when they are in those large group comic con things, the audience is screaming and squealing when people hug and such nonsense. Then when the actors are in the small table interviews with the reporters and bloggers it is just completely different. It is like when they are in the big comic cons, they are nervous and being silly because the crowd is too, but in the table interviews they are having a serious conversation with like six adults, so they give more serious responses. So it is different. I know most people disagree, but i just don’t think Jennifer likes Captain Swan even a little bit. I think that is one of the reason she is like the show is over at six seasons (because she is out). The thing is she will never say that she hates things about the show just like she doesn’t make fun of the show House in public even though she is very obviously annoyed with whatever went down with that show. It isn’t appropriate for her to make fun of the show in public as much as she might want to.
I have never seen JMo look at Colin in character, like she looked at MRJ in character.
Sure she smiled….but she never beamed.

Least favorite episode has to be Selfless, Brave, & True….
Now that I think about it! Did we ever find out why in Oz was a dragon with magic in our world when this is supposed to be the Land without Magic? Or even who the dragon was????!!! Gosh, I hope that wasn’t Maleficent’s baby daddy….

To be a fly on the wall in the writer’s room, or even BTS where the actors and actresses really express their thoughts on OUAT…..would be an absolute dream.
