Let's Rank the Mid-Season Premieres & Finales of ONCE! =D _____________________________________________________________________
 * Original Topic: Season Premieres/Finales Ranking
 * Suggested by Leroiblanc
 * Seasons 1, 2, & 7 excluded, since they have a continuing theme throughout them.

● FINALES [Best to Worst]:

1. Season 3, Episode 11 ("Going Home"): Undeniably one of the most well-made episodes of OUAT and one of the few episodes that could have worked perfectly as a Series Finale. The flashbacks made the episode extremely nostalgic and heartwarming, while the final minutes remain one of the series' most emotional scenes!

2. Season 6, Episode 10 ("Wish You Were Here"): A very clever episode with a strong premise, even though it was disappointing and a missed opportunity. Either way, it was nice seeing how the story would have evolved if Regina had never cast the original Dark Curse!

3. Season 4, Episode 11 ("Heroes and Villains"): A nice epilogue for the "Frozen" arc, with beautiful and heartwarming scenes.

4. Season 5, Episode 11 ("Swan Song"): Retcon, but quite interesting and emotional. Plus, it was a nice set-up for the Underworld arc!

●PREMIERES [Best to Worst]:

1. Season 5, Episode 12 ("Souls of the Departed"): OUAT's 100th Episode is one of its best, with emotional scenes and great acting by several cast members. The clock scene still gives me chills!

2.  Season 3, Episode 12 ("New York City Serenade"): Funny, interesting & one of the most anticipated episodes in the show's history.

3. Season 6, Episode 11 ("Tougher Than the Rest"): Basically a sequel to "Wish You Were Here". Again, desappointing and a missed opportunity, but had some hillarious moments nonetheless!

4. Season 4, Episode 12 ("Darkness on the Edge of Town"): The beginning of what is considered -by many- to be the worst mid-season, this episode is quite boring and slow-paced!
