Once Upon a Time season 6 review

The Once Upon a Time season 6 finale aired on ABC on Sunday night, and it feels clear that the show wanted closure. They knew in advance that many characters were departing. Take, for example, seeing Snow and Charming getting to have a future aside from the Enchanted Forest. By and large, the battle for […]

Once Upon a Time season 6 episode 21 kicked off the two-part finale event on Sunday night, and it did so with an alternate universe. Apparently, a key component in the final battle was finding a way to ensure that some of our characters looked at the world different. Specifically, in a more cynical manner. […]

We will admit that we’re not the biggest fan of TV musical episodes, mostly because they often don’t amount to much more than indulgence. It’s like getting a giant piece of chocolate cake and proclaiming it to be lunch — it’s nice in the moment, but it doesn’t leave you with much in the way […]

Earlier this season on Once Upon a Time, we were introduced to the news that there were many more Saviors in this world beyond Emma Swan. Yet, what we did now know was that one of them lived within the very midst of the show’s main cast. In the midst of tonight’s “The Black Fairy,” one […]

For everyone out there who loves Zelena, Once Upon a Time season 6 episode 18 was an opportunity to see many of her strengths pulled to the forefront. However, along the way this episode also marked an opportunity to shine a greater light on some of her flaws. Specifically, one of Zelena’s biggest flaws was the […]

While Once Upon a Time season 6 episode 17 proved to be an important hour of television, it was all where there was a lot going on. Was it too much? There is an important battle to be had there, but from our vantage point, we would say that the story here perhaps became a little too cluttered, perhaps […]

Did we need a Gideon backstory episode for Once Upon a Time? Going into Sunday night’s new episode,  we nonetheless had a chance to learn more about who this guy was, and precisely where he came from. This includes the training that he received at the hands of the Black Fairy, who was, by the way, […]

Tonight, Once Upon a Time season 6 episode 15 brought us a story that was about pirates, the Nautilus, Aladdin, and … drunk Snow White? Well, it had all of that and then some. Let’s start here with Captain Hook’s quest, given that this ended up being far more challenging than he first thought. At first, it […]

We’ve spent a good bit of time this season on Once Upon a Time discussing Regina’s second self in the Evil Queen, but for whatever reason, we haven’t spoken so much in the same vein when it comes to Robin of Loxley as the darker side of Robin Hood. Maybe it’s because he is from a wish-world, […]

This Once Upon a Time season 3 episode 16 review kicks off with flashbacks … a lot of flashbacks. This episode was almost entirely about the relationship between Rumpelstiltskin and his sons. We had it in the past between him and Baelfire, and then we saw it in the present with him and Gideon. How was it? […]
