I agree. If they really wanted to do a musical, it should have been at the beginning of the season and not at the penultimate episode which will only be a momentum killer. Totally agree.... not only does the musical episode seem to be a momentum killer, but the whole thing just wreaks of desperation. Fans begged, for one reason or another, for a musical sepecial. So, the writers decided to just give in to that demand. I have yet to watch a musical episode, of any tv show, that was even semi-decent. They are usually chinge-worthy, and terribly cheesy. The only way this could have worked, on OUaT, was for the songs to be flashback-only. However, that is not what the show is doing.
