Surprise! The Musical Episode!!! i absolutely loved this episode and the songs that the cast got to sing 😍 i listen to the songs from this episode on Apple Music, but I think it’s on Spotify too. unfortunately, no Belle this episode? would have loved to hear her sing! i’m glad that you mentioned the return of some cast members because it’s always fun to see them again. i really miss Ruby 🥺 but i’m so happy that you enjoyed this episode for the most part. sorry that you were caught off guard BUT we are spoiler free 😂 now we just have to see what the Black Fairy’s curse has in store for us. see you then!

The Song in Your Heart- I absolutely love, love, love this musical episode and everything about it!! Thank you so very much for your reaction to one of the most special, beautiful, and powerful episodes throughout all of Once Upon a Time, Dodo!!! Each of these songs really are all phenomenal and everyone's voices are amazing! And yes... it really is each one of these actors singing for themselves. :) This episode absolutely goes by so fast. And it's amazing because this musical episode really makes me think I'm watching a Disney movie, which is why it is absolutely perfect for a musical episode to be done in Once Upon a Time... a show all about fairytale characters coming together. Such a beautiful ode to Walt Disney for inspiring us all and for bringing these characters to life in such a magical way. Thank you so much for such a great and fun reaction to one of my absolute favorite episodes throughout the entire show, Dodo!!! First, regarding your issues with the Black Fairy suddenly having enough dark fairy dust to not only cast her curse, but enough to curse the town ten times over... I absolutely agree with you that it's unfair that she would suddenly have all this dark fairy dust, after Zelena sacrificed her magic in order to stop Fionna from gathering what she needs. And where does she get it all from? My only guess... is that somehow Gold helped her collect it, or maybe together the Black Fairy and Gold managed to steal Blue's entire stash of fairy dust and turn it dark. Unfortunately, it is never explained how the Black Fairy suddenly has it, and it certainly seems unfair to Zelena. I guess we just have to suspend our disbelief a little more than usual, or simply ignore this tiny flaw within this episode. And now... I absolutely love, love, love that we see Emma's and Killian's wedding at the end of this show's musical episode!!!! And both Emma and Killian look phenomenal in their wedding attire. Emma's wedding gown is absolutely gorgeous. She has a very classic movie, Grace Kelly kind of look about her. And Killian most certainly looks very handsome in his all black tuxedo. Black absolutely suits him far better than any white tuxedo ever could do. Thank goodness he chooses to remain in black. Plus... I love that Archie is the one to marry them. And both Killian's and Emma's vows to one another definitely fit their characters perfectly and beautifully. I cried the first time I watched this episode throughout this wedding, just as tears of joy continue to slip down from the corners of my eyes every time I watch this episode even today. A wedding for my all time favorite True Love couple within all of Once Upon a Time is so, so beautiful just like I expected and always hoped for. And seeing Emma and Killian get married within a musical episode, in such a beautiful way... It almost makes me feel a little bit better about us never getting a True Love's Kiss from them. Almost. :) And thankfully, they marry just in time before the Black Fairy's curse sweeps over everyone. Why do Emma and Killian choose to go through with their wedding, knowing full well that the Black Fairy is still alive and that her curse is coming? In all honesty... I think it's simply because they feel truly good and truly happy upon defeating the Black Fairy in this one battle for Emma's heart, even though they don't defeat Fionna for good. And everything is ready. They most likely wanted to feel the love from all their songs in Emma's heart. Despite the danger still looming over them, it is Emma's and Killian's choice to marry on this day, at that time. As for the songs... Truthfully, I really love them all for various reasons, and I consider them all pretty equal, because it's very difficult for me to really decide which of them are my favorites. But to break them down a little more... I actually have four songs that are actually tied as my favorite songs, because I simply can't choose one over the others... My first favorite song... A Happy Beginning, because I am most certainly a sucker for a powerful song sung by a movie or show's entire ensemble, and this final song most certainly doesn't disappoint. But what I love most about this song, is seeing and hearing Emma and Killian start this grand musical number off by singing a beautiful duet together. Their voices blend together quite beautifully, and I love their dance they share together too. And then the Charmings join in, along with Regina and Zelena, and even Henry has a single line on his own too. Then, everyone sings and dance together. It's so beautiful, fun, energetic, and colorful too. I also love that this wedding occurs on a rooftop somewhere in town across from the clock tower. Beautiful and perfect! Second... Revenge is Gonna Be Mine sung by Colin O'Donoghue is absolutely fabulous!!! Killian's voice is absolutely fabulous!!! And a pirate song about revenge and wanting to kill his Crocodile is perfect for Captain Hook. His humor towards Snow and Charming is fun because they keep thinking he's singing about getting revenge against a real crocodile, not knowing he means the Dark One until the end of the song. And it is really nice to see Mr. Smee again too. Third... I love Emma's Song, which takes Emma's theme that has been playing within the background of a number of episodes often for her character, and in every episode's title card throughout the whole show. Jennifer Morrison has an amazing voice as well. Hers is so soft and beautiful, then Emma grows more powerful as the song continues on when her heart becomes powerful enough to save her family from the Black Fairy's freeze spell, as well as herself from the Black Fairy, making it impossible for Fiona to crush Emma's heart like she's wanted all along. And I just love the moments between Emma and Killian throughout her song, as well as throughout the entire episode. Sadly, this villainess' curse is still coming, but this song and her family have given Emma the strength and power she needs to believe that as heroes, they will defeat the Black Fairy once and for all together. I love that Emma has the final line of the episode as the curse is about to sweep over them, as Killian asks her where she thinks the curse will send them, and she answers... "It doesn't matter. Because we're gonna win." Beautiful! And the fourth song tied for first for me... Powerful Magic is also another of my favorites for sure. Ginnifer Goodwin and her husband, Josh Dallas both have incredible voices, especially Charming. Wow!!! And I really love that their song is also the song that starts off the musical numbers upon Snow wishing the Blue Star. Plus... Snow White sings with birds like she does in her Disney movie. Perfect!! In this song, we really see the love these two characters and their actors show for one another both on and off the screen. Beautiful! Now, I really love Lana Parrilla's song... Love Doesn't Stand a Chance. Lana's voice is gruff and dirty, and amazing. This song really does give off a Rocky Horror Picture Show vibe, which is exactly what Lana Parrilla wanted. She loved being able to sing a rock song for her big song. I also love that it starts off with parts of the song sung by Grumpy, Geppetto, Jiminy Cricket in his cricket form, Granny, and of course Sidney, who I was surprised to see brought back again for just this episode, but very happy too. What a fun song and Lana's dance moves are great. And lastly... Wicked Always Wins sung by Rebecca Mader is beautiful as well and her voice was amazing too. However, I am a bit confused as to how the spell reaches Oz, and I've always felt like this song feels somehow a little disconnected from the rest of the episode. That's why it is probably my least favorite out of them all, although I still really love it anyways. I do wish that we would have gotten a song from Rumple and Belle, who sadly isn't even in this musical episode at all. I really wish she was. There are a few people missing from this episode that I really wish we could have seen. Especially at the wedding. Especially August, given that he is Emma's best friend. He really should have been there too. And in answer to your question regarding where Blue currently is... She is actually one of the people seen at the wedding, which means that our heroes must have somehow saved her, or she somehow managed to escape from the Black Fairy. But offscreen. Which I don't like. Her fate absolutely should have been shown to us. Now... I also feel it's a little strange, and even disappointing that the Black Fairy would immediately come out of hiding, and that she and Rumple would both announce their plans to bring about the curse and to defeat Emma. The Black Fairy wants to destroy Emma herself before the curse because she is the Great Evil, while Emma is the Savior and it is their destiny to fight in the final battle. I suppose I get this because the Black Fairy does have an arrogance about her, and she thought she could convince Emma to give up her heart before the curse because she thought she could break Emma so easily. But it does seem a bit bizarre for sure. And I also somewhat understand why Rumple has sided with his mother, because he feels she is his best way to protect his family. But he's most certainly wrong, and this is far more annoying than anything else to me, because Rumple is so, so wishy washy. Especially this season. Evil, good... evil, good... Just make your mind up, Rumple!! Ugh!!! And in answer to your question as to why the Black Fairy is still obsessed with killing Emma, even though Rumple is the Savior she was previously destined to kill... I believe it is simply because Emma is now the Savior, and the fate of the Great Evil is that she would one day be forced to fight and battle against the Savior. The moment that Fionna cuts Rumple from his destiny of being the Savior with the Shears of Destiny, another Savior was soon born and became the Savior she then became destined to kill. Savior is a title and destiny passed down from one person to the next upon the previous Saviors' deaths. There were obviously other Saviors in between due to their age gaps, and possibly afterwards before Emma, but if you remember... Aladdin was also a Savior. However, upon him also using the shears to severe his own destiny, another Savior was soon born yet again. And now... It's Emma. Destined to fight the Black Fairy in the Final Battle. I hope my answers to some of your questions help you understand a few things better, Dodo. :) Overall... I just can't say enough about this episode that is most certainly and easily one of my all time favorite episodes throughout all of Once Upon a Time!!! It's phenomenal and beautiful! And I couldn't wait until your reaction to it!!! So, thank you once again, Dodo! And now... I can't wait for your reactions to the two part finale... The Final Battle Parts One and Two!!! Two more amazing episodes that I really love, and I think you're really gonna love them too. :) Sincerely, Heidi

Emma had several gowns, besides the ones in her & Hook's house, before they decided that she should wear a perfect copy of Princess Grace's Wedding gown. I love Killian's black velvet suit, but I agree that the Guy liner could have been slightly smuded not a line, under Colin's beautiful blue eyes. & I couldn't understand the say on slicking back his hair, other then that's how Grace's Prince looked. I think that Hook should have a clear face light powder, his naturally wavey hair tossled freely, as usual, because the Captain wasn't just a Pirate, he was a true Rebble, who sincerely is a real musician in our world. Colin was in a Rock band from Ireland called the Enemies, you can look up the band Dodo. Colin also sung, much more alternative measure, in a different subtler tone, in a little film called The Dust Storm. You can look up on U Tube.

As someone who watches your Buffy AND your OUAT reactions, I knew this was coming and your reaction definitely didn't disappoint. Love that you were hit with two musical episodes in fairly close proximity. I honestly love all the songs, but Wicked Always Wins is probably my favourite. I realize it's the song that makes the least sense overall, but it just really works for me? And Rebecca clearly had a ton of fun with it. Then again, so did all of them. I just love this episode a lot.

More OUAT💖 Trivia for you Dodo🌀🦤🌀 Colin O'Donoghue, who plays our Dear Captain Hook. really broke his foot while filming for Song in my Heart. It happened During the chair stunt, he slightly lost his balance, & his foot didn't land perfectly, from the Fred Astaire chair stunt, in Revenge is mine. But because Colin is such a Rock'n roll Bad ass, in real life, like the Captain he plays, Colin decided to have them continue filming, due to scheduling conflicts, & had continued dancing, & singing thru the pain. he knew that otherwise they would scapp the Number entirely, so instead of letting everyone down, & heal up, for the Wedding shoot. Colin said Nope, to that, & just let on he was okay, till they wrapped up Revenge is mine. The closeness of the Tavern, cave like Pirate's den set, was hard for Colin to move in, tho even the part where he broke his foot is in the final cut. We can now watch the Revenge Number with wide eyed wonder, or wince when Hook does the bit with the chair, when he goes down. Or we can see a incredible consummate Preformer just doing what he does, to make the Song a memorable moment, for everyone involved & worked hard on this beloved project. ONCE Upon A rewatch. Necessary to really enjoy their hard work. The Writers always knew they wanted to do a Musical, just didn't want just any moment to just do any time. Emma & Hook's Wedding was Huge, & a Very special, & incredible stepstone for Emma & Killian's Characters. The Writers needed the Musical focused around Emma's whole tale, & her's & Hook's special night. As they may never ever get a chance to actually consummate their Marriage, when nothing is safe or certain for the two ever. & Collin's questionable decision, in which to continue to Act, sing, & dance with an already injured foot, for OUAT'S Song in my Heart Even tho the Director, & Film Crew unknowly captured the iconic, & what must've been questionable moment, as the amazing Actor remained in Character, & no one suspected Collin, & the pain, he only felt. But then at least Captain Hook plays his Vengeful Pirate, to the hilt, along with gritted teeth thru the whole day. After Colin said they removed his boot, & his assumptions were right, as his foot only swelled up, & he only stuffed his foot back into his black Hook boot, as the Crew went on filming. Colin is a real bad ass, Jen called him, with a Proud smile. But also completely insane to abuse his foot that way, but I get it, he didn't want to ruin the Number, over his beautiful, himself. Still (ow...) 🎬📢 🤨🤕🎤🪄✨😎🎸🎩✨🧚🏼 Cut, that's a print, Shut the gate! 👩🏼‍❤️‍👨🏻 Thank you Collin O'Donoghue. Without your determination, & self sacrifice, we ONCER'S would never have been able to see Revenge. & That would have been very sad. ✨🌕🤨🌕✨Cheers to you Collin. ✨🍻👢🛡️⚔️🛡️✨ Danke Dodo. & your not Dumb, your right, no one is perfect tho, so stop calling yourself dumb Dodo Dude. 🦤 Just when you have time, go back, & rewatch OUAT💖🦤 Except for the Black Fairy, seriously you just have to believe she found a way, to turn the Crystals Black. Otherwise it will bother you to distraction. Good en targ' mien Fre. 💖🌏🌎🌍🤨💖🐶👩🏻‍🚀✨🌕🌕🌕✨🧚🏻‍♀️ Happier New Year, & Aveda Zane ✨🍻✨ Cheers!! 🎬🛡️🎩✨🤨✨👢✨👩🏼‍❤️‍👨🏻💖

Been waiting for this one a LONG TIME! My Favorite episode of the entire show! So glad you enjoyed it! The last 2 are also so great and it wraps up many things, so I hope you wIll do the last 2 episodes back to back! They really do go together and things change afterwards, so I really do hope that you will do them together. I HATE that I have to wait another week though! lol. I wanted to also ask you, since you love Music so much and like to sing, have you ever considered doing Music reactions on youtube? I do and it is so much fun! I have found so many artists & performances that I would have never found on my own and it's life changing...Yes, my channel is called "The Speak Easy Lounge". It has been pretty successful, I have just over 30k subs and a we have a great community. If you ever decide to do any, let me know and I can give you some great, heavy-hitting, artists & songs that will draw thousands of views, plus its very easy, no editing needed. Just react & upload. (there's a bit more to it than that, but still much easier than TV reactions) Cheers!

No matter what I choke up when Emma sings the line “once I lived in darkness out there on my own left to brave the world alone” because like Emma I didn’t grow up with parents, I had to raise myself. But I’m SO happy too see how FAR Emma has come. Oh and yes the song in her heart IS the OUAT theme….so this whole time we’ve been hearing the song in her heart 🥹🥹
