I liked Season 7, it'd give it a 7.5-8 score.

Best Episode: Beauty. Worst Episode: Eloise Gardener

I was not a fan of the twist in episode 7, including the rape and how Hook became a father, and how Gothel was disguised as Rapunzel, although it does show just how wicked she is and the confusion as to who is the real prisoner between Gothel and Rapunzel.

Although I missed some characters who left, Emma and Belle, I thought their send-off was good, and in Belle's case, wonderful. I do not approve of the double Hook twist, I'm not invested in having a different Killian, but his story with Alice and the search for the wrong girl is interesting, including the relationship with his daughter, also the relationship between Rumple and Alice and the latter as a character; Drizella and Tiana also are awesome characters, the former is deliciously evil and kinda girly in a teenage way, Tiana is just so much fun and feisty, a person you would like to hang out with. Bad parts include Cinderella and Tremaine, and their actresses. Andrew J. West does a great job as Henry, although Henry is not as good as a protagonist as Emma, and Lucy not as good as kid Henry. There's a real lack of males, which bothers me, although the possibility of seeing more Dr. Facilier maybe, interests me. Adelaide Kane does a phenomenal job as Drizella and so does the returning trio of favorites, Lana Parrilla, Robert Carlyle and Colin O'Donoghue. Gothel started a bit like... a lot of mystery and no meat, but in the last episodes she delivered, I thought, and there's a lot of hope and promise to her characters. Also, a lot of nice twists and backstories, I appreciated them, in particular Tiana and Rapunzel's origin stories, as well as the difference between Hyperion Heights and Storybrooke, and the new identities for Hook, Rumple, Regina and Zelena (hilarious). Overall, a great first half.
