While an glad that everyone got their happy ending and Rumple got to be with Belle, there were s few things that left me scratching my head. 1. The prophecy about the guardian. Is it still a prophecy if it doesn't come true? Wouldn't it have been better just to say the DO had to make a true and sincere sacrifice in order to be reunited with Belle. 2. Nobody could take Rumple' s power but WR did it without breaking a sweat. If he could take powers that easily, wouldn't it have been wise to take Regina' s power? You wouldn't leave a wild card like that unchecked. 3. How could they go back in time and have the realms United and all of that. Since Lucy and Cinderella is with Henry in the past, how could he leave Storybrook in the future and meet her? If 0ne changes the past then one changes the future. It is like going back in time and killing your grandfather before your father is born. If you do that then you are never born so you can't go back and kill your grandfather. It all seemed weak and rushed. They should have stuck with the voodoo Dr. He was interesting and had great possiblities.

I must confess the ending, as the camera panned one last time over Main Street, and we saw the sign, "Leaving Storybrooke", made me a little misty-eyed.
I liked the happy endings for WishHook, Alice and Robyn. Rumple's end seemed fitting, and he did finally come full circle, as he gave his life for a version of his old enemy, who also turned out to be his only and oldest friend. RC and Colin were wonderful and very moving in their final scene together. Also great to see KillianPrime and Emma, with their little daughter, and Snowing once again. And the scene with Robin Hood and Regina was also quite moving. It also gave some closure that Robin's soul had not been destroyed, but he was still there in spirit, and watching over Regina. Despite its flaws, I'm really going to miss Once Upon a Time and these beloved characters - Truly the end of an era. __________________

Oh my gosh. I have no words.
By far, Rumple sacrificing himself to save Wish Hook and stop Wish Rumple altogether was the highlight of this finale for me. It was so beautifully done and I really liked how he considered Hook his friend. Though part of me feels that it should have been a way to save original Killian, since that is who he had the most history with, but whatever. Saving a version of his enemy is worthy enough. It was a very fitting and bittersweet way to finally have him find his way back to Belle (which was the most stunning scene ) and I bawled hard when Regina told him to find his happy ending. Props to Regina to getting through to Wish Henry. I knew he wouldn't go through with killing her. When Snow and Charming arrived to save Regina and adult Henry I was at first confused. Since they were still in the wish realm, was this wish Snow and Charming, or original? So confused! It was great to finally see them again, of any version, but kinda sad they didn't have as much screen time as I was expecting. The real-like dream Regina had with Robin was bittersweet. But at least she knows he will always be in her heart. Going back to the beginning of the episode, I loved the opening in Storybrooke with Grumpy/Leroy and the other dwarves, and granny. Poor Alice and Robin not being welcomed, which I guess is understandable given they came in out of nowhere, but even so. I'm glad they found Zelena and Robin convinced her who they are and why they need help. So Regina's idea of bringing all the realms together in Maine was pretty neat, but intensely confusing at the same time. Especially with Wish Realm, since there would be two versions of every character walking around together. But I guess they're not exactly close neighbours, the realms are still separate, but are situated right next to each other and easily accessed. The CGI done showing all the realms together wasn't exactly great, but I'll give it a pass just this once. Regina being crowned as Good Queen by Snow and Charming was perfect, what a wonderful way to bring it full circle. I loved her speech. I LOVED how Emma arrived, "Sorry I'm late" parallel to Evil Queen's "Sorry I'm late" in the Pilot. And she had her red jacket on top of a dress. Great to see original Killian again! And their daughter is named Hope. Very cute. Still couldn't get my head round the two Henry's being there, but I guess it was a way to have the whole cast back together for the finale. The flashbacks were great. As the camera panned out to iconic Storybrooke places at night, Mr Gold's Pawn Shop, Granny's Diner, and then Emma's yellow bug etc. I got really emotional, and then the sign "Leaving Storybrooke" ..... I can't believe the show is over. I didn't want it to end, but then I suppose it had to have ended someday. I plan to do a re-watch very soon. Back to the very beginning. S7 was great, for the most part, though I missed Storybrooke like crazy. It'll be so weird to see it for real. I'm going to Vancouver in October, for 6 days. I plan to visit Steveston aka Storybrooke which is really exciting, I can't wait to visit all the areas and places they filmed in the village. And get some official OUAT merchandise. It may be a shame that now the show is over I won't get the opportunity to see them filming, but it'll be the most awesome way to reminisce. __________________

I know, I really can't wait. I'll be going Whale watching, most likely with Steveston Seabreeze, so could be spending two days there!

Let me ask a dumb question. Why did the WCharmings die and the original charming didnt. Same with WHook being sick but not original Hook
Yet WRumple died when Rumple died. Just a few minutes earlier Rumple was willing to rip WR heart out but made no mention that he would die |

As for the Wish Rumple dying I thought it was because the Wish version was a copy of him. But maybe it was because the death of Rumple (and him becoming the Guardian), destroyed the Darkness once and for all, and so that killed Wish Rumple who had that Darkness in him. __________________

It makes me wonder how Regina feels about Evil Regina and WRobin running around Storybriok all happy and everything. I think she would be happy for them, but it's gotta sting. Also there is WRegina out there somewhere. Plotting to get her magic back I expect. Lol

Snow and Charming have been through so much weird stuff they were probably not fazed at all.
