1. This was actually a twist that was really the best twist they probably could have done. Noone expected it. It was surprising, but I'm glad they chose to end the small town drama. Plus, only part of the curse was broken.

2. That would have been something good. Emma, Henry, etc are not fairytale characters. Greg and Tamara could have been good, but they dropped the storyline and Lost Potential.

3.This is the end of the series to many and really in a narrative sense was beautiful and left a little room for what could happen. Wonderful end to what I call Once : Part 1.

4. Everything else was Once Upon A Ship and I almost despised Neal. But with such a major importance they had him die. I rather Zelena crush his heart instead of dying like an idiot.

5. Well, they devalued the Dark Curse by pretty much calling Rumple and Regina idiots, but that could be explained as them be short-sighted. I'm okay with it because Snowing is the only romantic pairing I could ever get behind.

6. Well, marketing begins. From a business perspective, it makes sense because it would help boost ratings, but even with that the writers showed that they can even mess that up. Regardless of TV declining, you can't go from a high rating number to only acheiving half of that without seeing that something is wrong. Like a 3.something to a 1. 7. That's just showing that you can't keep even most of the new viewers, but then again those new viewers wanted this show to turn into Disney live action movie show.

7. Poor planned item. I wanted to get on this in another thread, but this has bothered me for a while. Regina wanted to get her happiness by taking Marian's away for the whole season 4 and the Charmings and Emma agreed with her!!!!!!That's stupid! I love Regina, but the rest should have talked her out of such nonsense. Then, the writers made Marian to be Zelena so that justified the Finding the Author plot.
