I didn’t think I’d be writing this – I certainly didn’t expect to. Like most people I’d processed the idea of Jennifer Morrison leaving the show and then convinced myself it wouldn’t happen. They wouldn’t deprive Once Upon A Time…

Jennifer Morrison to Exit ‘Once Upon A Time’
It’s the end of an era. And maybe, the end of a show? Jennifer Morrison, who plays Emma Swan in the ABC drama, has announced she will not return for a hypothetical Season 7. The announcement was made on her…
‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×20 Review: “The Song in Your Heart”
I don’t know how to start this review, and I pride myself in always having words. Maybe not the right words, we all kind of lose those, but words in general have hardly ever failed me. And yet – for…
‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×19 Roundtable “The Black Fairy”
Rumple betrayed our heroes …again. And yet, that was about the only thing that stayed consistent in this episode. That, and Robert Carlyle delivering a masterful performance as, arguably, one of the most complicated characters on this show. Because backstory…
‘Once Upon A Time’ – The ABCs of Captain Swan
You don’t choose the ship, they say. The ship chooses you. Captain Swan choose us over five years ago, and through these five years we’ve been privy to the journey from kindred spirits to actual friends, and then …to a…
‘Once Upon A Time’ – In Defense of Emma Swan Roundtable
Emma Swan. Our heroine. The leading lady of Once Upon A Time. She gets a bad rep in some circles, our Emma. Some say that falling in love has changed her – that she’s less of a badass because she…
‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×19 Review: “The Black Fairy”
Oh, Rumple. We could have had it all. You could have had it all. But then again, that’s always been the case, and if Once Upon A Time has done one thing right as it attempts to close out some…
‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×18 Roundtable “Where Bluebirds Fly”
Well, who would have thought, Zelena got a redemption arc. She also got some emotional and real moments with her sister, and hey, she saved the day in the end, which I guess just proves that everyone can save the…
‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×18 Review: “Where Bluebirds Fly”
Well, what do you know – Once Upon A Time is gearing up for the Final Battle as much as its characters are, and with two more episodes till the two-hour Season (not series, you hear me? Season) finale, the…
‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×17 Roundtable “Awake”
Well, that happened. And by that I mean, well …all of that. Because, that was a good episode, wasn’t it? Wait, no …that was a great episode. That was the kind of episode I was starting to think Once Upon…
Once Upon A Time 6×17 “Awake” Review: Love Is Sacrifice
Ironic that I title this review “Love is Sacrifice,” when, more often than not, if asked, I would say that love is more than sacrifice. Love is facing life’s troubles together – love is not giving up. Love is hard…
Once Upon A Time” 6×16 Roundtable ‘Mother’s Little Helper”’
Still no Captain Swan reunion. *sighs* But hey, at least Gideon isn’t really a bad guy? Silver linings and all. Plus, there was a little Snow/Emma bonding (which is more than we ever get), an honest Rumbelle conversation and a…
Once Upon A Time 6×16 Review: We can be heroes?
Okay, that was sort of what I expected, and yet …it truly led to an unexpected place. And hey, any surprise a show like Once Upon A Time can procure six seasons in is a good thing. No, it’s a…
Once Upon A Time 6×15 Roundtable “A Wondrous Place”
No Captain Swan reunion, yet. But a Jaladdin TLK! A princess team-up! Jasmine finding the hero within! The return of Ariel! There were a lot of good things in this episode – and there were some questionable writing choices when…
“Once Upon A Time” 6×15 Review: ‘A Wondrous Place’
Oh, Once Upon A Time. When I don’t give you credit, you surprise me. When I give you credit, you let me down. The secret storyline wasn’t your best work – but I was almost ready to forgive you. It…
Once Upon A Time 6×14 Roundtable “Page 23”
Okay, Once Upon A Time. That really, really wasn’t what I expected. Kudos to you. Not just for putting the Evil Queen story-line to rest in the best possible way, but for giving Outlaw Queen, or a version of it,…
“Once Upon A Time” 6×14 Review: ‘Page 23’
Well, that was …surprising. Emotional. Heartbreaking. Which are really not things I expected to be saying, considering that, if you’d asked me before this episode started, I would have said I knew exactly where Once Upon A Time was going…
“Once Upon A Time” 6×13 Roundtable ‘Ill-Boding Patterns’
So …Captain Swan is engaged! And Hook didn’t get a chance to confess his secrets. What a bunch of …drama. Though, seeing it all develop, it was hard to blame him. It was hard to blame her. It’s still possible…
“Once Upon A Time” 6×13 Review: ‘Ill-Boding Patterns’
For an Rumple-heavy episode with flashbacks to Fairy Tale Land and the appearance of my least favorite character ever, Baelfire (though in supposedly less douchy kid-form), this was …well, surprising. Not the best Once Upon A Time has done, but…
Once Upon A Time 6×12 Roundtable “Murder Most Foul”
What a great episode. What a twist. Not because it was unexpected per se, but because every time we thought about the possibility, we pushed it away from our minds. We just didn’t want it to be true. But then…
‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×12 “Murder Most Foul” Review: Drama for the sake of …drama?
You almost had it, Once Upon A Time. Before the last few seconds of this episode, I was ready to crown this the best episode of Season 6. After all, it was entertaining, the message was on point and yet,…
