Hi guys! For the past week I have been uploading my reactions to Patreon directly since I have a certain amount of hours per month and I can upload the videos in better quality than in Dropbox because I have limited space there (and I'm actually running out :') that's why I started using Patreon) I have been told the Patreon video player lags so if it lags for you let me know and I'll upload and edit the Dropbox link here! I (in lower quality, like I've always done there)

In Dropbox, you will be able to stream only an hour of video, if the reaction is over an hour and you'd like to see the rest of it you're gonna have to download the reaction. Sorry about that.

Last Rites- Thank you very much for another fantastic reaction for another of my favorite episodes this season, Sora! Okay... So, there are most certainly mixed feelings we fans of Once Upon a Time have for this episode. Some of us, like me, really love this episode! I absolutely love this episode!!! But then, there are many more fans who actually really dislike this episode, because so many fans feel that it is unfair that Killian is resurrected, while Robin dies because Emma traveled down to the Underworld to save Killian. Not so much because Killian is resurrected. But more so because everyone is crushed that once again, Regina loses another love. And believe me, my heart breaks for Regina and I am truly sad that she has lost another love. Although... I do know that there are also many fans of this show who do hate Killian all the more because he is resurrected just after Robin is killed. Which is not in any way Killian's or Emma's faults. So, I am so sad that people feel such hatred towards Killian and Emma too. One thing I will say straightaway... Many people feel that Robin's death is unnecessary, and written just to create more drama for Regina. And so many people are angry because they feel that his death is written because the creators and writers don't want Regina to be happy, or for her to have her happy ending. Perhaps because she was the Evil Queen for so long. However, I absolutely disagree. While I am disheartened that Robin dies, I feel that there is a reason for his death as well. And I understand that there is a reason. But more than this... Back in season four's episodes, titled... Mother and Operation Mongoose Part Two, Regina tells Zelena, Robin, and Isaac, then Emma as well, that her happy ending isn't a man. That Robin is only a part of her happy ending. Because Regina's true happy ending is to find peace with herself and to find a home among family and loved ones. And yes... I feel so badly for Regina, and I am so heartbroken that Robin dies so tragically. Most fans feel that Robin Hood is poorly written and not given enough screen time ever since he is reintroduced to us in season three's premiere episode, titled... The Heart of the Truest Believer, with Sean Maguire as Robin Hood. Maybe so as far as him not having enough screen time. I agree with this. However, I still really, really love his character very much throughout this show! And I really feel like Robin's death is a chance for Regina to find true peace with herself, and to really grow even stronger than ever. So long as she doesn't allow herself to self destruct and revert back into her old self yet again because she's lost another love. Most people aren't even all that sad that Robin dies simply because they feel the loss of a character they love. Because while most people love Regina and Robin together and ship Outlaw Queen, most fans find Robin alone boring, or one of the weaker main characters. However, I completely disagree. I absolutely love Robin as a character by his own right and merits. I love Sean Maguire as Robin Hood, and I really love his character too! I love his friendship with Killian and David, although I do wish these said friendships had been developed further. I also love his relationship with Henry. And I love, love, love Robin with Regina so much! But from what I've learned about other fans' feelings towards this show over the years, I am pretty sure that I am sadly in the minority. Robin most certainly deserved better from this show's creators and writers. No doubt. But with all of this being said... I will continue to share more of my thoughts regarding my own feelings and love for this episode... First... Robin's death is absolutely tragic. Especially because Robin isn't just dead, but his soul has actually been wiped out of all existence according to Hades. No Underworld, and no moving on to a better place. He's tragically just gone. Which absolutely breaks my heart. And I always cry watching this moment. And yet this moment is also absolutely so beautiful, because Robin sacrifices himself to save Regina from Hades' wrath. And his last act is that of trying to offer Regina what little comfort he can as he reaches out to touch her cheek once his soul leaves his body before he fades away. Robin's love for Regina is true, just as Regina's love for Robin is true. And my heart absolutely breaks for them both, as I love both of these characters so, so much. And now... Regina has lost another love to death, and in the worst way possible. And she's absolutely heartbroken. And I absolutely feel so badly for Regina. Just as I feel so badly for poor Zelena too. While Zelena's inability to see Hades' deceptions and manipulation of her all throughout this episode, and her anger towards Regina, Robin, Emma, and the rest of the heroes kind of annoys me, I also truly understand why she is unable to accept the truth that's been starring at her all along. Hades is the first person to show any amount of love for Zelena. To show her what she's always wanted. Her whole life, even though she had an adopted mother who did appear to love her for however long she lived for, Zelena has never felt love, and she has been so lonely. So, of course I understand why she can't accept that Hades doesn't love her as much as she wanted so desperately to believe. And I can't fault her for feeling so confused and torn between the new love of a man and God, and the new love of a sister she hardly truly knows. At least not as a sister and as someone who can truly love her. And yet in the end, Zelena does see through Hades' manipulations at last, and she sacrifices her love for Hades in order to save her sister. Tragically, Zelena learns in the hardest way possible that the man she believed loved her, didn't truly love her after all. And I love Zelena for giving up Hades in order to save Regina. And seeing the emotions shown between these two sisters, especially when Zelena kneels down beside Regina as she is holding Robin's body in her arms, is so beautiful!! And then the funeral they all have for Robin in the ending is so sad, yet beautiful too. Especially when we see Roland, and how everyone lays an arrow with a rose tied to them for Robin over his coffin. And once again seeing Regina's heartbreak on her face... So sad. Then... Zelena steps up beside her sister, as they then share another moment together. And upon seeing Robin's baby in Zelena's arms, she is reminded that Robin never even had a chance to name his daughter. And upon being told this, Zelena then chooses the name Robin for her daughter, in honor of her daughter's father. I love this! Next... My biggest annoyance I have with this episode, stems from what I mentioned was one of my biggest annoyances coming from the previous episode this season, titled... Ruby Slippers. I mentioned in my comments that I am not at all a fan of Belle choosing to put herself under a sleeping curse, also risking the life of her unborn child. And the scene between Gold and Moe (Belle's father), confirms exactly what I expected to happen. That Moe would refuse to give his daughter True Love's Kiss because of his hatred for the love she holds for Gold, more than he loves his daughter. And any father who can leave his daughter under the throw of a sleeping curse just to spite the man he hates most, shows me that he doesn't truly love her either. And this is also why I am also upset with Belle for her decision. Because Belle knows that her father hates Rumple, and she knows what lengths her father would go to keep her away from him. She learned this way back in season two's episode, titled... The Crocodile, when Moe abducts his daughter with Smee's help, then has Smee try to send her across the town line so that she won't remember Rumple any longer. Even at the cost of her no longer remembering him or anyone and anything else again. This is not True Love. And I think it is very foolish and naïve of Belle to have believed that her father would give her True Love's Kiss, knowing full well how he feels about Rumple. This is why I really hate Belle's decision. And now, regarding the storylines I love the most within this episode... First... I absolutely love, love, love Emma's storyline, as she struggles to let go of her anger over the loss of the man she loves, knowing full well that Killian is trapped in the Underworld and unable to move on, because he is still in so much pain from being unable to know whether or not she will be okay and that they will be able to defeat Hades. Emma's heartbreak from losing Killian once again is tragic, and so beautiful. Because you can feel the love Emma holds for Killian, and the love Killian holds for Emma. Of course she's unable to grieve, knowing full well how much pain he's suffering while still trapped. And second... I absolutely love, love, love the moment Emma is alone trying to search the books piled high in front of her, until she picks up the storybook lying on the table beside her, only to see her open up to the page showing the picture of her and Killian dancing together at the ball they attend while on their time travel adventure. Shown in season three's two part finale episode, titled... There's No Place Like Home. I love how Emma then tenderly caresses Killian upon the page, and being able to feel the absolute heartbreak she's feeling as she struggles to come to terms with her loss, while she remembers the happiness and the times they shared together during their time together in her parents' past. Such a beautiful and tender moment. Emma then swiftly closes the storybook and sets it aside again so she can get back to reading, only for the storybook to suddenly reopen again to the page that is given to her by Killian because of the strength of his hope and his belief that the magic of the storybook can get the page to Emma. And it's absolutely beautiful!! In regards to any questions you may have about the storybook... I am not completely sure how it works. However, I do believe that the book that Henry protects... the very same book we've seen since way back in season one, continues to magically add our characters' stories to itself whenever new characters arrive in Storybrooke. In a similar way that we see the page Regina protects of herself and Robin kissing... Page 23, magically appears inside Robin's satchel, shown in season four's episode, titled... Smash the Mirror Part Two. Plus... If you remember back to season three's midseason finale episode, titled... Going Home, we see the storybook disappear in the purple and green cloud of smoke upon Pan casting his dark curse that returned everyone back to the Enchanted Forest during the missing year. And then later in season three... in season three's episode, titled... A Curious Thing, our heroes look for the storybook again in hope of finding it so that they can return the storybook to Henry, in order to wake him from the curse's throw over him too. My thoughts to all of this is... I suspect that upon the storybook's return to Storybrooke when it reappears for Mary Margaret and Henry, the storybook must have new pages and new stories added to it then too. Stories and pages that might include information about Zelena and her story. But remember... They don't find the storybook again until after they already know the truth about Zelena and who she is, and they immediately give the storybook over to Henry to help wake him. So, by this point... The reveal of the new pages about Zelena and her story, wouldn't have mattered too much to them. As for the storybook from the Underworld... This storybook is in fact... a separate book from Henry's. Which is why Henry feels happy to leave it down in the Underworld for everyone left there, so that they can discover what their unfinished business is and so that they can move on knowing their own stories. Because Hades has never been to Storybrooke before... Because he is from the Underworld, his story is not in Henry's storybook too. Only in the Underworld's version of the storybook. Until now... When Killian's faith and hope sends the pages revealing Hades' story and his weakness up into Henry's storybook. I truly hope my long explanation about these storybooks help to answer any questions you may have, my friend. :) And then third... I also really love the storyline down in the Underworld between Killian and Arthur, as they seek out the storybook's pages about Hades that the God had gone to great lengths to hide from them. While I don't hate Arthur like most other fans of this show do, I wasn't all too thrilled to see him again when he first appears onscreen and runs into Hades. And especially not when he states that he has been unjustly imprisoned, which is so not true. Especially since it is because of Arthur that Killian died in the first place, as he had been the one who struck Killian with Excalibur when Killian stole it back from him. Shown in this season episode, titled... Birth, in the same episode where we learn that Emma had turned Killian into a second Dark One. And yet... After the great first scene between Killian and Arthur inside Granny's as Killian enlists Arthur's help to find the pages, and the more Killian and Arthur continue working together, the more I am really happy that we get to see Arthur again. And that his character is also given closure for us viewers too. I love all of his and Killian's interactions, and actually getting to see Arthur change. Even if his change might feel a little too forced just like Cora's change shown throughout the previous episode, titled... Sisters, also felt forced too. And plus... It is nice to see some kind of closure for Arthur, even if fans of this show might not really understand why or how Arthur feels he can become the King of the Underworld in Hades' place. Especially since Cruella also has plans to take up Hades' rule as well. And yet... I actually like the idea that Arthur has a chance to change for the better, and to become the King of a broken kingdom after all. Maybe this has been his true destiny all along, after he failed to become the righteous King Camelot needed. Nonetheless... I love seeing Killian and Arthur work together to find the pages!! I love the diner scenes, that also include Cruella and the Blind Witch. And I really love when Killian and Arthur battle against the lost souls rising up from the green river as they fight to get hold of the storybook. And I really love the final moment between Killian and Arthur as they say goodbye and wish one another well. This moment really shows us the capacity for forgiveness and good that Killian truly has, given that he wishes the man who killed him well and fights to save him at all risk to himself and to the storybook... His one chance to help Emma to defeat Hades. And it's beautiful! :) And then... Killian walks into the light that suddenly appears, believing it is his time to move on. Only, he comes face to face with Zeus, who thanks Killian for his role in helping the rest of the heroes to defeat his brother. Zeus' role is sadly so small, that we don't have much of a chance to get to know his character enough to really say one way or another if we like him or not. From what little of him we do get to see, I do like Zeus, and I especially and absolutely love that Zeus rewards Killian by sending him back to Emma alive and well!!! :) Which brings me to my final two favorite moments within this episode... I absolutely love, love, love the moment as Emma finally takes some time to grieve for Killian at his gravestone, as she cries. Her emotions shown in this moment is heartbreaking, and my heart shatters a little more for her. Her words to Killian are so beautiful and so sad. Especially when Emma tells Killian that she can finally feel that he's really gone, and how much she truly misses him. And yet... After the funeral, when Emma is standing alone looking on at Robin's grave and coffin, a burst of magic suddenly flows all around Emma, then she immediately turns around at the sound of Killian's voice behind her, and sees that he has somehow been resurrected, and returned to her. I absolutely love, love, love how Emma runs straight into Killian's arms, and kisses him over and over in pure happiness upon seeing that he's come back to her. I love that Killian barely even has a moment to try to explain that Zeus is the reason he has come back to her, because she is just too overcome with joy to have him back. This is easily another of my absolute favorite moments within this episode, because Killian is alive again at last, and he and Emma are together once more!!! And this is just such a beautiful moment. Even when their joy in being together again is dampened upon Emma having to reveal to Killian that Robin has died at Hades' hands. As for the talks shared between Regina and Robin down in the tunnels beneath the town office before his death... It's sad at first that Robin doesn't understand why Regina acted as she did when she entrusted his daughter to Zelena and to Hades, and why she continues to defend her sister after all that Zelena has done. Especially to him. And yet, of course I understand his feelings of anger. He's scared for his daughter. And so, I love and appreciate all the more, when Robin soon comes to understand Regina after taking more time to try to understand Regina's decisions. As for Hades' death... Like I mentioned above, I am so sad for Zelena, because she doesn't deserve to feel the pain of having to kill the man she loves. Emma already knows how this feels, given that she too had been forced to kill the man she loves when she had to kill Killian in this season's midseason finale episode, titled... Swan Song. And I can't even imagine their pain. However, I am so happy to see that Hades is finally dead at last!! While I really do really enjoy his character up until his love story with Zelena begins in this season's episode, titled... Our Decay, I really do come to dislike Hades more and more in these later episodes of this season. And he absolutely gets his just desserts upon being killed by the very weapon he puts together through his own magic in the hope of using against all of our heroes and on his brother, Zeus. Of course he wants all the power, and in the end... Hades' lust for power destroys him once and for all. But overall... Hades really is a great villain I do love! Thanks to Greg Germann!! Also... It's nice to see Merida again as well, as we are reminded that she and a number of other characters from the Camelot arc are still in Storybrooke, and that their stories are not quite over. And lastly... Gold of course has yet another plan that involves what remains of the Olympian Crystal, which he digs up from the pile of ashes left behind upon Hades' death. And I can imagine that whatever he's planning, isn't good for our heroes. I definitely love to hate Rumple for sure. And while I am always intrigued to see what the Dark One is about to do next... I completely feel a disdain towards him regarding his storyline continuously showing his lust for power and his constant betrayals. His storyline is always the same, and it has grown to become tedious. Not bad. Just more of the same. And I do admit that I am annoyed with him too. But then... This is exactly who Rumple/Gold is. This has been established. The question is... Does he have the capability to truly change for the better at all? Will he? You will have to wait and see! I love Rumplestiltskin thanks to Robert Carlyle who is absolutely brilliant!! :) Thank you so much, Sora! Thank you truly for this amazing reaction to another of my favorite episodes this season, my dear friend!! Sincerely, Heidi
