#onceuponatime season 7, episode 21 - Homecoming - notes included #OUATrevisit
The start of many familiar faces appearing for just a scene.
Going back to where it started.
#onceuponatime season 7, episode 22 - Leaving Storybrooke - notes included #OUATrevisit
Fitting that both Lana Parrilla and Robert Carlyle get to shine in the series finale.
Dad Hook is really the best version of Hook.
#onceuponatime #OUATrevisit wrap-up:
Even during the bad episodes and plot points and such, I'm glad I did this because I did get to watch the show, and there was a lot I enjoyed about it, with the bonus of sharing banter with friends and reading their brilliant quips. There were at least two occasions when I'd likely have just stopped watching if I'd been doing this on my own. /1
I enjoyed watching Robert Carlyle. I'd known at the time that he played Rumplestiltskin, which seemed even weirder to me because I was familiar with Robert Carlyle because of "The Full Monty". Rumple doing a striptease is not something I need to see or think about.
When I have more time on my hands, maybe in a couple of months, I do plan to give the spinoff, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, a try, just to see. It only lasted one season, for 13 episodes. /2
None of the main characters are the same, though there are a few crossovers of characters / actors, and a few other extraneous actors I like enough. But in this case, I'm not committed to the season and can bail if it gets too bad.
If you've been following along, thanks for coming on the journey with us. And remember one important lesson:
"Magic always comes with a price, Dearie."

@cstephens2 Wonderland seemed interesting. I ended up now watching it because it was cancelled, but really wanted it to be something that suceeded.
Maybe it's time for a new spin-off
@falcon It was very uneven at times. I can't remember what specifically was happening in season 4, but there were periodic entire arcs in the later seasons that were clearly "we've run out of ideas but we're still on the air, so let's make excuses for why dead people are on the show again".
Cc'ing @smartwatermelon in case he wants to chime in since he's likely got a better memory of the show overall.
