Lol, I guess Henry read my post I made yesterday.
I thought I recognized Hyde from somewhere. Sam Witwer is the best!

Evil is subjective.
Most of your trademark bad guys sincerely believe that they are doing the right thing and are doing good.
I think it's funny how traversing different worlds has slowly become less and less of an accomplishment as the show's gone on.
Season 1 - The only way to traverse dimensions is with the curse!
Season 2 - Also these beans. But they're super rare!
Season 3 - And Peter Pan's shadow can do it. And mermaids for some reason.
Season 4 - Also there are magic tornadoes.
Season 5 - Glass slippers, magic wands, or, you know, just a bunch of people throwing coins into a fountain and believing hard enough.

Dang show is getting weird. I don't like the Henry subplot. At least they got a cool villain at the end of it all. Wasn't expecting that.

This finale was throwing everything at the wall. Everything.
I don't know how many of you like to browse Channel Awesome, but one of the shows there called Shark Jumping launched a podcast at some point called Once Upon a Timing. I have yet to listen to it so I can't vouch for its quality just yet but it seems interesting and I thought you guys might like to check it out and see how it is.

Be worse. Better than being stalked and/or sexual harassed by Hook

He had the alternate holy grail. He could have transformed it into Excalibur and snuff out all the Darkness in Gold if he wanted to. Or create another dark one
I'm expecting a crossover with The Flash at this point.

Agents of SHIELD has a better chance of crossing over with OUAT than any of AoS's TV debuted characters showing up in the movies.
Storybrooke is a magical place.

Man I wish they'd reference Pirates of the Caribbean(beyond Hook initially being budget Sparrow.)
Heck they already have one of the series's main supporting cast members as recurring on OUAT
If this show had the budget for better effects I'd kill for a Regina vs. Regina big dumb magic fight.
'Ello sister.
I'll make the new OT when stuff starts getting confirmed.

Some season format changes.
Odds are that the people from the land of untold stories will be taking on the roles of the amnesiac townspeople from S1.

Show should worry about using some budget on that damn fight choreography

Good, because the show has been a trash bin fire of storytelling for the past three seasons. They need to stop doing the grand Disney arcs for the sake of Disney Porn.
GOD GOD GOD I know I've posted about this a half a dozen times but I hope this is absolutely and truly the case. I don't think they've run out of material for their main cast but it has been getting a bit stale I think.
Either format actually works with the show I think, but sometimes there isn't a clear throughline through both half-season arcs so they just seem like really shorter stories that feel unmined at times and they really only have like 2 episodes in each half to bridge them together and it's usually something about Rumple trying to still be the Dark One or something.
Ironically I thought S4 was the best when taken separately but they were sorta slapdash halves that just somehow worked on their own. Maybe I just didn't like S5 because though it was the same I don't think both halves really did anything too interesting.

This sounds good. The last few season arcs have felt rushed. That and the fact that they drop characters so fast.
Instead we'll get "Hey remember this Disney character that's been living in Storybrooke the whole time but somehow we've never seen them before and never will again"

And do what? Be useless along with all the other fairies? Pretty sure Tink was the only fairy worth giving a damn about.

Speaking of the fairies, how did Chernabog get inside the Sorcerer's Hat? I'm still really curious, and it's currently the one plot thread that bothers me.

I'm kind of upset that the Land of Untold Stories is a thing, because I feel like it means underutilizing some of the other worlds. Like the Land without Color. Would be sick to see more old-ass black and white movie monsters showing up.
Did she have unfinished business?
I mean she never got that D, or an apology for leaving her to die.

I love all the homages to 80s camp movies (it's set in '89 after all), but it just seems super contrived.
We've got news of Greek god Morpheus being cast. Looks like he's going to play some role in helping Belle and Rumple with the Sleeping Curse.
Aladdin, Jafar, and Jasmine are in. Looks like Jafar has been recast as Oded Fehr

I'm all in for Oded Fehr due to an obsession with The Mummy.
Maybe I should finish Once Upon a Time in Wonderland since it's becoming increasingly more relevant.

Didn't they also say they are going to stick with one plot the entire season, instead of doing that "1/2 the season is one set of characters, then we completely switch over the second half!"
Hope so, love the Aladdin stuff and would love a season (or more!) of it
Oh yeah, I completely forgot about all the stuff that happened in the finale with Dr. Hyde, wonder how that ties in

I'd take Oded Fehr either way.
Have no damn clue why he wasn't Ra's al Ghul on Arrow.

They're reverting to the Season 1 formula if I remember correctly.
So it's going to take a full season for them to remember whatever it is they're forgetting this time around?

Well considering Will basically just vanished after the first half of S4, I wouldn't say it's been too relevant
Because then that meant it would've been a good season HEY-OOOOOOOOO
couldn't resist the dig
Well it's too late because I've already started up again and I already have questions.
Why didn't Alice just make two wishes?
"I wish that my enemies can't harm anyone that I care about."
and
"I wish that Cyrus was here."
Even if that second one isn't allowed due to genie shenanigans (which makes no sense anyway because it's up to the genie to interpret that wish, so it can only go horribly wrong if Cyrus wants it to), that first one pretty much covers anything that either Jafar or the Red Queen (or anyone, really) could do to her.

Sorry Naveen, but Oded was in the Mummy. I'm glad he's Jafar now. I wonder if the genie that Aladdin meets is the one in the Magic Mirror.
I wish the Hatter would pop in for a bit like the Doctor Frankenstein did last season, before Sebastian Stan has to go back in that Wakandan refrigerator.

Looking at their record, they will just forget about some of them.
