Well, I prepared myself for an anticlimax, so it wasn't too big a let down for me...but I think that is mostly due to my lowered expectations.

I'd guessed the Hook and Rumple stuff, but it was fairly well acted at least. The latter is just frustrating- they have this character stuck in one tedious time loop. The former was fine, but I just wish they hadn't told us the underworld plan right away. It's like they're going "It's okay, see we're going to fix it, so don't be mad at us alright?" They did the same in the season 4 finale, basically telling us that everything would be undone right before Killian is stabbed. Like seriously guys, you can allow for some drama and tension every once in a while.

The Regina and Zelena bit pissed me off. I thought she couldn't use the wand because she'd done too much good? Since when did Regina lack confidence in the magic department? If anything I think she tends to be too confident considering the number of times she's gotten her ass kicked by other sorcerers. All in all, I haven't enjoyed Regina this season... and I guess all that "new savior Regina will save the town" stuff meant next to nothing.

Zelena had better come back. I'm fine with her being written out eventually, but not like that. If that was her end, then that's a massive anticlimax... but I highly doubt it will be. In fact I'm not sure how Regina thinks this is any kind of solution when Zelena has already done so much realm hopping in her time.

My main dissapointed though, is that things didn't happen the way I thought they might when the twister was conjured. I thought Zelena would grab Regina at the last moment and they'd both be pulled to Oz. Leading to more time exploring Oz in 5B and Regina being officially named The Wicked Witch of the East by the Ozians.

What else? Um. Oh yeah... I've reached my give a s*** quota with Emma. They should have killed her rather than Hook.

Oh and the lack of conclusion to Camelot and Merida doesn't surprise me at all. They could have dealt with that in the time they wasted with the Hook and Regina flashbacks which I found totally pointless in an episode that was already in a mad rush to wrap up the present day story. But then I guess they NEED to have The Evil Queen make an appearance.
