I really enjoyed the finale. It made me excited for next season (which I won't talk about!) And not every season finale does that.

Even though some of the things that happened were somewhat obvious (Jekyll and Hyde, 2 Regina's)...for me it's not always about the end game, but how they get to that ending.

I loved the world of Jekyll and Hyde - even though we didn't get to see much of it. Although I thought the fact that the 4 heroes had to go into it was sort of....old hat?

Henry was annoying, no doubt....but he was passionate, and I can appreciate that. You have ot figure seeing as much as that kid has (he was in the Underworld for crying out loud) would wear on him and he would go off the rails, so to speak.

The thing I liked most - which would maybe be something others wouldn't - is that a lot of the problems were wrapped up in a good amount of time. There was enough time for me to be concerned on how things would get resolved, but not so much time that I felt like it was dragging on. The pacing was decent, I guess.

Lastly, I know there are a lot of complaints about plot holes and such...things popped up in this episode alone....but having spent the past couple of months re-watching from the first season with my kids, I find myself often assuring them that the answers they are looking for would come in a few episodes (or seasons!!) So I am resting in the fact that ultimately...things will turn right, even if they seem a mess right now.

All in all I thought this was a perfect season ender....gave me just enough of everyone to want to hang on for more!
