I think that season 7A has been a breath of fresh air. I am glad that everybody is finally out of Storybrooke and the show has gotten itself out of its same-old-everybody-is-connected-through-confusing-storylines that happened around Season 4-6. I was disappointed when some of the old cast was not going to be involved, paticulary Emma, but I think now without a Saviour in Hyperion Heights things have gotten much more interesting. I love everything about Roni. She's edgy and although very different from Regina you can tell it's her. I am glad that Regina is awake now, though, and have enjoyed how her relatonship with Henry has taken centre stage. I also thought the inclusion of Wish Hook was interesting way to evolve Hook's storyline and find a way of making real Hook and Emma happy. Rogers is alright too. I feel like this season's Rumple, however, has been a little half-hearted. It just seems like since Belle died that he has given up and it feels weird. In regards to Henry, it's just weird seeing an adult Henry and I don't know whether I'll get over it ... ever! Cinderella is one of my favourite fairy tales and I love the fact that this new Cinders is raw and edgy. Love the twist with the Prince as well. Lady Tremaine has been a very good character and inclusion to the show, especially in her relationship with Drizella, revelation to be Rapunzel and desire for Anastasia. However, I did not like it when she killed the Fairy Godmother (NOTE: I feel like all's I do is talk about the FGM but she is my favourite character in fiction EVER and severly under-developed on the show in BOTH cases but I digress), I felt like Gothel could have used a roomate. Mother Gothel's betrayal, establishing the Coven of the Eight and the revelation that she was the mother of Alice has set things up for what I hope will be a very could 7B.

P.S

Forgot to mention how awesome Tiana has been this season as well. I hope we get to see more of her character and maybe Mama Odie will be a member of the coven (hope not ... stay good mama!)
