The47th Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The writing in the last episode was not good story-wise. Some of the plot twists felt too forced, and it doesn't make sense to dispatch one of the Queens of Darkness already. Still, I enjoyed Ursula's backstory. OUAT is alway great on those.

The47th Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 This latest twist makes obvious how much more versatile Lana Parrilla is as an actress compared to Ginnifer Goodwin. The last one looks too stale in this version of the character. Actually, I think there are two clear groups of actors in the show: the great ones (Parrilla, Robert Carlyle, Rebecca Mader, Kristin Bauer) and the ones that simply fit their roles. I'd say Jennifer Morrison is in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenUnicorn Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Just watched the season finale. Two words: HOLY CRAP. I loved the alternate versions of the characters, glad that Henry got spotlight time, and found the Captsin Swan moments adorable. And Emma being the new Dark One? Not good for the residents of Storybrooke! And kinda stinks we have to wait til fall to see what's next.

The47th Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Finally got to watch the finale. Great episode that closes a GREAT season, for me the best one since S1. Plus, the story doesn't feel as artificially stretched as it did at the end of S3, when it was almost like they just brought a new villain for the sake of it. It feels like the show was always destined to reach this point. In fact, it fits as the setting for the final stage. On the downside, the directing and the writing were sloppy at points, for example with characters knowing details that they weren't supposed to. And those terrible-looking VFX that are no excuse, really, because there are others that don't look so cheap. One detail for which I'm very excited about S5 is that they set Maleficient and Zelina up for keep showing up in the future, with the quest for Lilly's father and Zelina's baby coming.

Omario Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Good 4th season. Feels like season 5 may be the last though. Loved Elsa and Anna. Beautiful actresses that looked the part and also acted accordingly. Especially Anna. I was hoping the Snow Queen would also be the White Witch from Narnia. I fear that was an opportunity missed. Would have made it more interesting. As for the second half it was a bit bumpy. I'm glad Zelena is back as i loved her as the Wicked Witch. The whole author business was not to my liking but it turned out better than i expected. Lilly didnt really do anything. Whats the point? i was hoping she would become the Dark One instead as then there would have been a reason for her presence. Anyways im still wracking my brain on who her father could be. There are not a lot of many big name dragons in fairy tales except for Maleficent. Maybe Arthur Pendragon? get it? nah lol. Maybe its Merlin? 2 birds with one stone if he is. Who am i kidding.. Its Mushu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
