Camera One March 14, 2018 Share March 14, 2018 (edited) 8 hours ago, Lady Calypso said: So, they announced the series finale title: "Leaving Storybrooke" Mother Gothel becomes the Mayor of Storybrooke and before she is stopped, starts "leaving" Snow, Charming, Emma and Hook (the term actually means turning them into piles of leaves). Henry, Regina, Zelena, Whook and Rumple grieve (or pretend to grieve their loss since 3/5 of them victimized those people anyway) and realize that their home must lie elsewhere as they journey to a galaxy far, far away.

rogvortex58 March 14, 2018 Share March 14, 2018 Why does he even care about her? There’s no explanation yet in the flashbacks. Unless she’s the guardian and he’s just been using her this whole time. Which honestly wouldn’t surprise me. 1 Link to comment
Rumsy4 March 15, 2018 Share March 15, 2018 Quote Question: Any scoop on Once Upon a Time and Gothel’s plan for the Coven of Eight? — Mira Ausiello: Only that Gothel’s end game is quite grand — and perhaps thus fitting for the series’ very final conflict. As opposed to a typical supervillain plan, “She wants more than just taking over the world,” co-creator Eddy Kitsis ominously warns. She wants to end it. Muahahahhaha 2 Link to comment

Rumsy4 March 15, 2018 Share March 15, 2018 Maybe idiot Henry finally managed to destroy magic and Storybrooke is in danger of disappearing once again. So, they all have to book it to the Enchanted/Disenchanted Forest. "Happily Ever After" should've been the title of the last episode. Even if it was cliche. "Leaving Storybrooke" sounds pathetic. 3 Link to comment
Camera One March 15, 2018 Share March 15, 2018 (edited) Yeah, "Leaving Storybrooke" is a poor name for a final episode. Best case scenario, "Homecoming"/"Leaving Storybrooke" focuses on the original characters as they decide it's time to leave Storybrooke and go back home to the Enchanted Forest. Please don't tell me this episode is still about Jacinda, Tiana, Lucy, Dr. Facilier, Nick, Gothel, Robyn, Anastasia and all the Hyperion Heights people I couldn't care less about.

I was worried I'd find Drizella on your list. I breathed a sigh of relief after reading it. I wouldn't mind if she moved to Storybrooke and joined Snow's "Villains Anonymous Rehabilitation Program (V.A.R.P)". I've heard Maleficent and the Sheriff of Nottingham made some real progress. My guess is that Gothel wants to either control all magic or destroy it completely for all realms. Edited March 15, 2018 by KingOfHearts 4 Link to comment

The main problem is that we already left Storybrooke, so just having them return to it at the very end of the season just to leave it again is redundant or was probably the case that they rushed an ending when ABC gave them the heads up. 1 Link to comment

But at least Jacinda and Henry get to be together, right? My thoughts went immediately to this - Gothel has Drizella's heart. As she begins to confide in Henry about the curse, Gothel crushes it and we get a Graham-esque death. She dies in Henry's arms and he now believes in the curse. Whatever happens, I'll bet she gets an untimely hoorah of redemption before she quickly dies. Edited March 15, 2018 by KingOfHearts 3 Link to comment

I think the "beloved character" is the one who is blamed. It has to be Henry or Jacinda, because the Writers have no idea what to do what those two and they will need angst and both Henry and Jacinda are "beloved" (using the term, very very very very very very very very very loosely). Instead of the scenario above (a jealous Henry is accused of killing Nick), it could also be a jealous Jacinda accused of killing Ivy (and Henry doesn't support her). Plus this will be "just like Season 1" with Mary Margaret. Edited March 16, 2018 by Camera One Link to comment

Robert did seem to be a bit more into it - but did he seem like he was channeling Gollum more than old school Rumpelstiltskin? While he always had a bit of that gibberish, he seemed a bit more over the top than usual. When I was watching some of the earlier episodes, I was struck by how much more of an undertone of menace he had. In some ways his Rumple evolved like the EQ - more scenery chewing and tics meant to be humorous more than scare in the later seasons. 1 Link to comment

Shanna Marie March 16, 2018 Share March 16, 2018 They should be able to get the actor for Original Hook. :-) It would be kind of pointless to have Ariel without Original Hook, and it doesn't seem like WHook would have had the same relationship with her or with the Ariel in his world, since I doubt that would have happened without the curse, Storybrooke, curse reverse, etc. It kind of looks like they're ditching the new cast for the finale, which would be fine with me.
