‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×21/6×22 “The Final Battle Pt1 & Pt2” Review: So Long And Thanks For All The Fish

Funny, how that Douglas Adams quote wouldn’t leave me as I sat down to write this review. This is not truly the end of Once Upon A Time, but in all the ways that matter, it is. Emma’s story, which…

‘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 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 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 “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 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 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 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’ 6×12 “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,…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×10 Review: “Wish You Were Here”

What ifs seem to be all the rage these days. Earlier this week Arrow took us to a dream world that was altogether too perfect. Today, Once Upon A Time attempted to do the same. Both shows sent a message,…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×09 Review: “Changlings”

“Sometimes you have to choose power over love,” Rumplestiltskin’s mother says in this episode (yes, HIS MOTHER), proving that a) the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and b) Belle made the right choice by giving up her son,…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×08 Review: “I’ll Be Your Mirror”

Love is weakness, Cora said once, a long time ago, but a show like this never forgets. And when I say it doesn’t forget, I mean it never loses an opportunity to prove that phrase wrong – again and again…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×07 “Heartless” Review: When You Believe

There can be miracles when you believe. And yes, I just sang that at the top of my lungs. I’m a Disney girl, through and through. But hey, it fits. Belief is a very important thing. In fact, you could…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×06 Review: “Dark Waters”

Wow. Did that episode bring the unexpected feels or what? I mean, yes, we were promised Hook backstory. We weren’t promised tears, a family reunion, a Captain Cobra adventure, honesty and a realistic look at what a relationship between a…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×05 Review: “Street Rats”

“Gotta keep one jump ahead of the breadline, one swing ahead of the sword… I steal only what I can’t afford. (That’s Everything!)” Well, yes, I did punctuate the beginning of this review by singing “One Jump Ahead.” But hey, it’s Aladdin. I…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×04 Review: “Strange Case”

At its best, Once Upon A Time can take a familiar story, turn it on its head and teach us a lesson at the same time. At its best this show can intertwine the stories from the people we’ve known…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×03 Review: “The Other Shoe”

Who would have thought? (Everyone). When you bring in the familiar faces, focus on the couples we’ve followed on this journey for five seasons and involve the characters we care about in the untold story, you have a pretty good…
