I loved the epsiode. Great way to have ended the show so chances are I think I may consider this the series finale even tho I will prob still watch season 7.

Loved the idea of all the realms being destroyed due to Emmas lack of hope. Although the premise of this idea raises questions which I will get to later. I thought we may have seen a few characters from the other realms like Ana, Elsa, Will, Anna and gutted we didn't see any of the LWC, 1920's England, Victorian England and LoUS, still seeing the hat hall of doors was cool. And I am assuming Zelena didn't manage to save Dorothy and Ruby before Oz was destroyed.

Brilliant performances by all the cast. Esp Jennifer, Colin, Josh, Ginnifer, Lana, Robert, Jamie and Rebecca. Not to mention a very suprising performance by Jared.

The happy endings were nice and while I did assume there would be more deaths I am glad there wasn't. Loved the parrels between this season and season 1 and I alos loved the humour esp with Hook and David. There trek up the beanstalk was amusing. (But I have questions about that too which ill ask in a mo). Loved the EQ and Regina. Its nice of the show to eplain that the EQ would have had a horrid life in the Wish Realm and her final sacrifice was beautiful as was her proposal by Robin. (Even tho we never actually got to see them)

Nurse Ratched was amazing. Again! She defo needs more screen time. Was that the Apprentice and Ingrid in the psychiatric ward when Emma was painting? I also should point out again how amazing Jamie Murrey was. She played the Black Fairy amazingly well esp as she was not even wearing her BF outifit, she was essentiall stripped back and was able to portray all that evil in just her body language, tone of voice and using her eyes. She still gave me shivers.

Ok now for my questions:

1) So the realms could be destroyed simply by Emma's lack of hope? That seems very strange. (still love the idea). They survived for hundreds of years before Emma was born, they survived 28 years while Emma lived in the LWM, stayed in play while Emma was in Storybrook during the first season all that time not believing in magic. But as soon as BF removes her belief and hope they all start disintergrating? I would have loved a better explanation to this.

2) Why were Aladdin, Jasmine and people from Arendelle in the magic hat? They do not live in seperate worlds but live Misthaven adjacent? They did not need to travel through a portal they could have just travelled to Mishaven in a more conventional way.

3) Beenstalk was home to giants again? What? How? Did Tiny go back during the 800th curse before this one and reproduce with a random female giant that we never saw at any time? Are giants like fairies and dwarfs? They are just born? This seems unlikely as when Emma and Hook travel there the first time there is only Tiny left, he is not waiting for more giants to be born as he tells Emma he is the last one. But now all of a sudden there is clearly giants who have grown giant food and growing new beans. Unless you are saying it was the Dragon's table of food?

4) When exactly in the timeline does the Adult Henry and Daughter scenes take place? Or where in the timeline (They may be from the wish realm) because in it Tiger Lilly is still a faiy?

5) Who on earth is her mother? Is she adopted?

Anyway, still a great episode. 7 1/2 out 10.

Next season will be strange. I will miss Jennifer, Ginnifer, Josh, Emilie and Rebecca. Hopefully some will return to do a few guest appearances throughout the season except Jennifer as we know that she will only be appearing in one epiosde. It does make me sad but I hope Robert, Colin and Lana continue to be briliant for season 7. :) :) :)
