I have a couple of feelings coming to the end of the show.

The first is gratitude for the existance of S7. Honestly, the season was much better than the last three. I speak with honesty, this season made me love Once again, like I did at the beginning, instead of just like it, as it was the case with 4B onwards.

During 4th, 5th and 6th I was hoping it'd get canceled.

It's an amazing feeling to go all #fingerscrossed for the renewal, because, with S7, I went back to wishing the show would go on, a wish I hadn't had for quite some time.

S7 wasn't better because of time issues. While a great part of the show was filler, this season clearly shows a lot of potential and opens up a lot of possibilities if the show were to continue.

I admit Ella/Jacinda was quite weak as a character, and the actress was far from nice. I don't mean to disrespect her work, but her portrayal didn't work well.

Aside that, this season was excellent to me. Even with the whole timeline and Wish Relam mess, there was still less absurdity than many episodes from the old days.

Bobby is himself a masterpiece, a supreme performance after another, I'd watch a spin-off featuring Rumple, Gold, Weaver and WRumple for years.

Lana's been as captivating as always. I found her reaction very honest in that video interview when she says she refused to accept the cancelation, she got mad about the end of the show. She really was someone who was happy at work, and that means a lot for the final result.

Jared surprised me a lot this season. I've always liked him, but that age is delicate for boys, he could be a bit unstable. Also, Henry was in the background for a good number of episodes. However, in this season, he was acting super nice. He even (who'd say) got a bit attractive, I'd say xD

Andrew, I loved him from the start. He took quite well the essence of the character and he would have been a good protagonist. He could have used a more remarkable love story with a more interesting significant other.

Rose and Tiera are soooo lovely, dear Lord. <3 Another couple I'd watch for eternity in a spin-off.

Colin, well... For 5 years, I couldn't care less about him. Hook meant nothing to me, but this new Hook and his partnership with Weaver especially, but also with Henry, Sabine, Tilly etc., made me appreciate Colin's work for the first time and I pretty much enjoyed all of WHook's scenes.

Drizella, Gothel, Facilier and Nick fulfilled their roles properly. They might have so much more to offer, had the show been renewed.

Victoria was an amazing character. Sadly, she took a little time to really get solid, like the Red Queen. It seems clear that the actress was not aware of her own story until the eleventh hour. It does get hard to act that way. I believe Gabrielle was an interesting addition to the cast, and she could have been used better. Again, time and cuts interfered.

Lucy is OK. Not "WOW", but Alison is cute, and did her job, not making me feel bored once, as kids may do.

Anyway, let's see what comes this Friday. I may say, no matter what, that the bad days of the show tend to be forgotten when the end is close, because the happy times and good feelings definitely surpass the disappointments throughout these past seven years.
