Season 6 -- Oh, why not

[LindaM]

There's always glimmers of greatness even in the bad (except Season Two).   Frozen had hints of it.  Oz had a lot of hope which reach most of it potential but like season two, they just couldn't pull it off.  I wonder if the networks influence, Disney influence, or LOST mindset caused the problems.

One more thing to ponder.  The building where the store the props in Stevenson Canada has been put up for lease.  No more Canada??

[LindaM]

I'm going on and saying this -- a mental hospital -- REALLY1  Edgar Allan Poe -- NOT.

[LindaM]

Nurse Fletcher -- your patient is missing.

Please already...let's move this along.  It's okay but not what I want -- especially in regard to Belle.

[LindaM]

Black Fairy, dearie, I am not amused.

[LindaM]

This episode is quickly going to C range.  Here's my problems

a. No Belle
b.  Mental hospital
c.  Rumple with no memory
d.  Maleficiet.
e. Fake pictures by BF.
f.  Get this battle over with so this BF can go bye-bye

[LindaM]

Well Rumple is faking it.  Henry is ready to fight.

It's starting to get better. LOVED Rumple taking down mummy dearest.

[LindaM]

I know -- but he has killed both his parents now.

But the first hour and a half was bad.

[LindaM]

 Evil Rumple is back but who is stronger.  Rumple the savior or Rumple the Devil -- channeling lost here.

[LindaM]

Ah, Rumple and Belle have their baby back.

[Outlast]

Happy tears!

[LindaM]

Come offit  -- DaVinci's the Last Supper -- REALLY.

[LindaM]

And a Henry in the future with a daughter whose family needs him??  GO to EW for DETAILS.

LOST lives but as Once.  Look of PopCultWriter -- that's me on Twitter.

[Outlast]

LUCY! LM... LUCY!!!!

Maybe we're finally getting Narnia after all! 

Also I'm thinking that girl isn't our Henry's child at all, but rather King Henry's child from the wish realm. Could be anyway. So much stuff to process.

As for the finale itself… there were moments I liked, but overall I thought the first half was too slow and as much as I loved seeing Rumple take out mummy dearest… it was a bit too easy.

Also there are the plot-hole/quibbles in far too great abundance like why did Gideon suddenly become a baby? Why did Belle need to sprain her ankle at that moment? Why did the realms start to disappear just because Emma stopped believing when that was totally never a thing? How the blooming heck did Charming and Hook survive that fall? I’m sure there are more I’m passing over if I think harder.

As for what I did like… I loved the ending montage. All the happy beginnings and especially that long awaited family dinner where everyone actually seemed to care about each other. Though the Last Supper layout was a bit to much.

I’m actually kind of happy right now. Maybe this wasn’t the best episode of Once ever, but the ending left me all warm and fuzzy and I’m kind of looking forward to season seven now. Weirdly.

Let Once: The Next Generation begin!
