Finally got around to watching the last few episodes, that musical was weird. Wife loved it, I hated it but I don't like musicals so no surprise there.
I detested the finale, they didn't stay consistent with any of their internal rules but thats pretty much par for the course for OUAT now so not a real shock. Only good can defeat good? Does that rule realllllly apply if someone under compulsion is attacking? What was the point anyways if Emma didn't die? If Henry had just stabbed his mom would it have been the same thing?
Only neat twist was the final Gold vs Black Fairy battle, and man it musta been a helluva thing for Belle to rush in, learn that Gold just killed HIS MOM, and the first thing out of her mouth is "uh yeah and where is our son?" Like damn woman, how about a hug or something.
I'm done with the show and seriously doubt I'll return for S7 but one thing I really, really hope they are more consistent with is the rule of Earth being magic free. That was fantastic in early seasons, seeing people used to magic being forced to live in a world with no magic. That slowly vanished over time, to the point where people are just teleporting around town willy nilly with no worries about using up all the magic. Earth and Storybrook should be considered the ass end of the magic-verse, not the Club Med vacation spot it turned into the last few seasons.
First few seasons were great and I'd recommend it to anyone, but after season 4 it just became a convoluted mess, 22 episodes is far, far, far too much for the writers to handle a season. They really need to cut this show down to 10 episodes a season and craft a tighter storyline, it would have worked wonders over the last 3 seasons.
