The Final Battle Part Two- Thank you very much once more for a fun reaction to this second half of season six's two part finale, Dodo!! Overall... I absolutely love this episode for many reasons, even with its flaws. I agree with you regarding the key moments within this episode that are confusing. First... I do agree with you that it is a little strange to see Hook be okay after his fall from the beanstalk, and then to see Snow White being able to revive Charming simply with True Love's Kiss, given that he appears to be dead upon his own fall's impact. I suppose that the creators and writers are trying to show us that because Snow and Charming share a heart, True Love's Kiss is powerful enough to revive them both now no matter the circumstances. It's a little strange, but a minor nitpick. Because the idea behind why they are both able to live happily ever after is beautiful, and it's what every fan of Once Upon a Time wants. I'm happy both Killian and Charming survive, of course. And second... While I absolutely love the overall final battle Emma fights within this two part finale, starting with her losing her memories and being trapped inside the mental hospital, to her actually fighting against Gideon in a variation of the swordfight Emma sees in her visions throughout all of season six... I am not a fan of how easily Emma is brought back to life. I feel like Emma's way of resurrection is a little too simple. I mean... Why did she have to be so worried about her impending death all this time, if True Love's Kiss is powerful enough to resurrect her moments later? Granted... No one knew that this would be Emma's fate and that True Love's Kiss could revive her. Nonetheless... I feel like this show's creators and writers could have done a little better when writing this moment for Emma. Plus... I really wish that it was written that Killian gives Emma's True Love's Kiss to save her in the end, because we sadly haven't gotten a True Love's Kiss between Emma and Killian at all throughout this show. Which is very disappointing to me because they are my favorite True Love couple throughout all of Once Upon a Time. Nonetheless... Henry saves Emma with True Love's Kiss, once again reminding us of the True Love's Kiss Emma bestows upon him back in season one's finale... A Land Without Magic. And this is beautiful too. With all of this being said... I love this overall ending for our heroes before the long montage showing us their lives as everyone begins to live their happy endings now that all evil has been defeated for now. The whole final battle, and seeing Emma make the ultimate sacrifice in order to save everyone, including Gideon too. It's really beautiful. And now, in the previous episode... I love that David calls Killian son, then son in law when Killian cockily raises his brow. And now in this episode... I love how Killian also jokingly calls Snow Mommy. It's funny because Hook is two hundred years older than they are too. :) Then... Killian gets the bean, he and David run from a dragon hiding out in the giants' castle, Killian falls from the beanstalk, and David falls when the beanstalk falls just as the darkness is about to fall over everyone. Next... I am so happy to see the Evil Queen come back in and to hear that she and Robin are now robbing from the rich and giving to the poor... or at least most of it. :) And in the end... Robin proposes to her with a ring he shoots into her mirror by arrow. Sadly, Sean Maguire was too busy, so they could only get him back just enough to have him speak Robin's voice as he asks the Evil Queen... "Are you ready for another adventure?" It's still quite a beautiful moment. However, my favorite moment with the Evil Queen, is seeing her sacrifice herself to give everyone else as much time as she possibly could to save themselves. And she does. It is such a beautiful moment for her, because she is truly selfless. And I just absolutely love her!! As for Rumple... At last, Rumple finally does the right thing to try to help Emma and to save Gideon. He defeats the Black Fairy. His own mother by killing her once and for all, and doesn't listen to his dark self when the Darkness in the form of Rumplestiltskin, tempts him about having all magic and love too. Bravo, Rumple!! He finally, finally becomes a hero at last and together he and Belle get a happy ending together, and a fresh start with baby Gideon thanks to Emma's sacrifice. And they have their dance to the Beauty and the Beast theme song too. Beautiful. :) Now... While I really do enjoy seeing Rumple finally do the right thing and seeing him and Belle together with a chance to raise their son again, I have to say... I can't help but feel that Rumple doesn't really deserve a happy ending, and to have Belle immediately take him back after all the pain he's caused her and everyone else. Especially ever since his mother arrived in Storybrooke. I almost can't believe that Rumple actually did do the right thing, even though he does. Just because he's made so, so, so many wrong decisions, especially this season alone. But... C'est la vie. Rumple does do right by his family and the rest of our heroes at last, and so I can accept his happy beginning too. And I am still happy for him. The Charmings have a new farmhouse, and farm with a dog. Regina becomes the Queen of Storybrooke as the dwarfs bow to her respectively. Henry returns to school and remains friends with Violet and close to both of his mothers. And Killian becomes another sheriff alongside Emma. Phenomenal!! And then... The entire Charming family now including Killian as Emma's husband, Regina, Zelena and her daughter, Belle and Rumple and their son, all come together for a beautiful family dinner. And I absolutely love seeing them all come together as a close and whole family at last!! So beautiful!! :) Season six most certainly has its flaws. But nonetheless... I absolutely love it as a whole!! There are certainly episodic storylines and seasonal story arcs for certain characters I do wish had been written better, or even differently. But I do love season six as a whole. And the ending of this two part finale is quite beautiful, as we see what's happening with all of the characters we've grown to love throughout all these seasons. Oh!! And Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas are still happily married, and are still very happy with their two beautiful children. One of whom we actually see within this episode, as baby Neal in the ending when Charming is holding him in his arms when they walk out of their home together. :) And lastly... Just when we believe the story to be over, it starts all over again with a huge surprise! We see this little girl seen a few times throughout these final episodes, as she arrives in Seattle where she seeks to find her father, who is none other than Henry. A much older Henry. And now he has no memory of her, as he appears to be cursed. It's brilliant, and I cannot wait for you to begin watching season seven!! I remember being so intrigued by this ending, and so excited for this beautiful and powerful show's final season when it was first announced that there would be one final season. Just you wait, Dodo! There are still some wonderful surprises for you to come, and once again... many more twists that we love too!! Sadly, I had been spoiled beyond this amazing cliffhanger to learn that season seven was going to be much different from the other six seasons, and I wasn't too happy to be spoiled about the things I was spoiled about. Although, I still had no idea just what was in store. But I was still excited for it!! And now... I am so excited to continue watching your reactions as you get into season seven too!!! I know that season seven for the fans of Once Upon a Time are very mixed. Personally, I absolutely love season seven as a whole. It's not perfect, but then no season of any show including Once Upon a Time is. And I absolutely love all that's to come!!! I really hope you will love... Or at least enjoy all that's to come as well, Dodo. Just you wait! I am so, so, so excited!!! I am so mad because I've read a number of comments from people trying to tell other reactors watching Once Upon a Time as well, that you shouldn't watch season seven because it's so different. Thank goodness you aren't going to listen to all of them. Season seven is just as good as all the rest of the seasons. And I still really think you're going to love it!! As for my favorite episodes from season six... I absolutely love Dark Waters, Heartless, Murder Most Foul, Page 23, Awake, The Song in Your Heart, and The Final Battle Part One and The Final Battle Part Two. I would love to know which episodes you love the most from this season too, Dodo. I look forward to watching your upcoming season six review!! Thank you, my dearest friend!! For all of your phenomenal and fabulous reactions to all of season six!!! Sincerely, Heidi

My questions for your season six review... Other than just me wanting to know which episodes were your favorites in season six, I have a few more questions for you too. :) First... Share with me a few more thoughts you might have about Once Upon a Time's one and only musical episode within this season. Did you really love it, and do you believe that it makes sense for Once Upon a Time to be one of the shows that deserves to have a musical episode? And now that some time has passed since you've watched it, is Hook's song... Revenge is Gonna Be Mine still your favorite song? Second... Do you have any more thoughts on Emma's and Killian's wedding, and do you appreciate that their wedding happens within the musical episode? Third... If you would like to, tell me about your overall thoughts regarding the Evil Queen returning throughout this entire season, and seeing her earn her own happy ending, as well as Regina. Was this a great idea, or do you wish that the Evil Queen never returned? Fourth... What are your overall thoughts on the Black Fairy? As a villainess, and on her being Rumple's mother. Fifth... Who is your favorite villain throughout this season? The Evil Queen, Jekyll and Hyde, or the Black Fairy? Or did you just like them all for various reasons. And lastly... Do you have a favorite overall story arc for any of our beloved characters throughout this season? And if so, whose story arc is your favorite? Do you have more than one favorite? I am excited for your upcoming review, my friend! Thank you so much!! Sincerely, Heidi

I’m so glad that you decided to watch this episode immediately after the previous one! I refrain from trying to mention the difference that Season 7 holds. Season 7 is one of my favorite seasons and I think you will love it too. I’ve loved Once Upon a Time for its whole, although there have been many inconsistencies. I thought Rumple created the Dark Curse!? I also love the way that the show utilizes flashbacks where even I also thought that the scenes with Lucy and older Henry were flashbacks! Turns out they were just moments in the future. This reminds me of how in Season 2, when we met Phillip, Aurora and Mulan, during those “flashbacks”. When in reality, the events in Storybrooke happened BEFORE those “flashbacks”. It was cool and definitely through me for a loop. And I can say that this finale did the same when finding out that the girl’s father is Henry! You’re right, this episode did feel like a series finale and completely made me forget the scenes of the mysterious girl and father. I’m glad that you will be reacting to Season 7, as everyone should! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts about this season and also diving into its last season!

I truly think they should have stopped at Season 6 Dodo. Everything was so good. All sweet beginnings with all our Favorite Characters. Season 7 However may just stand alone, & as a reboot, more then like the series we came to know. I only say that, for the idiot who was so excited, & couldn't keep it to themselves. I only hope no one else, decides to be as selfish, & Spoiliery. Cuz that just suX, & how would you like to enjoy a show, you never saw before, & some idiot just sprouting off that a hero dies, choking on a fish bone? [Just a Bad example, because some people still need to be told, Sadly, not to Ruin a Future Experience, for Anyone. Especially a Reactor.] What are you 3 years old? Seriously before writing a Comment, idea, or feelz, try chilling out & thinking it out first. It's unfair, & once a Reactor finds out, what you wrote, you can't undo the damages. What are you doing here if you want to just blurt out Spoilery content, seriously sad, you definitely should find a new hobby... Please Loyal Oncers your better than that. Please think before you post. Cuz you wouldn't want to know the future, of a new series, or one you don't know, but been looking forward to seeing for a long time. Getting to know the Characters, & their story, (bad or good,) Better if the Reactor your watching, can form their own opinions, & we can all enjoy the experience, through their varied perspectives. That said, I am so sorry, Dodo, you feel Soured by BIG MOUTHS!!! & that it's unfair to you, & everyone else, who enjoys your fresh take, on OUAT & other Series. We who Respect you, & care, that we all get to enjoy, your Reactions here. Sorry that happened to you. In this I hope as always you just go by your own intuition, & just look forward to (What comes Next. ) like Snow tells everyone... Just stay open minded. & Realize Dodo, not all of the ONCERS on here, will be so thoughtless, & hopefully allow you to just enjoy the show as we always have. ✨Blessings sent to all the ONCERS🧚🏼‍♂️♥️✨ & Aveda zane. Take care. Season 6 wrap up, can't wait. Danke Dodo✨ 💖🌏🌍🌎💖🐶👩🏻‍🚀Lei ✨🧚🏼‍♂️✨🌛✨
