Loved the finale, but it went to fast. The whole hour felt like 5 minutes. I wish they would have made it into 2 episodes. But it was everything I had hoped for. I didn't expect the curse to be broken so fast, tough. I tought it would take a couple of seasons, so I wonder what stories are left to tell now. Perhapse now that Rumplestiltskin has brought magic and gained back his power, he will become the main villain. Will Regina redeem herself? That smile at the end wasn't a good sign though. That, I'm not sure I understood, because she didn't want the curse to be broken in the first place. Now it is and she seems pleased?! So much questions...

It was a mother's love that broke the Curse. How fitting for a season finale aired on Mother's Day!

Also, Pinocchio's deal was to help Emma break the curse. Not to help her believe. Till curse broke in the eyes of the magic that crated him, he WAS dishonorable.
May 14th, 2012 11:12 AM
Why did Pinocchio transform? Not only was he honorable, but Emma finally believed. If his purpose was fulfilled then why did he turn to wood? And why did his face turn so fast while it took weeks for his leg to do so?
His magic ran out.
I can go on with the multitude of discrepancies, contradictions and plotholes this show keeps throwing at us every episode.
Then please go on and list the actual things. So far all you managed to list are "baww, I did not understand how it works" cases.

And why is the river even in Storybrooke? The rivers of fairytale world were also transported through the curse? Does that mean the whole landscape of fairytale world was transported? The multitude of kingdoms? Foreign lands like the genie's Aggrabah? The infinite forrest?
Yes to all of that.
According to Regina, Storybrooke is bigger on the inside than on the outside. The town houses entire world.

Why did the river still have its magic in the first place? Shouldn't all magic have disappeared? It should be a normal river by now.
There's leftovers magic everywhere in storybrooke. Its just leftovers from FTL and most of stuff that could be used has run out during those 28 years. The river might have had magical nature in it, but it grew weaker over time. Gold used the potion to "reignite" it there and the effects of the well did the rest then.

First of all Alex, if you dislike it this much, why even bother to comment? Second, the river wasn't magical, legend says it returns to you things you've lost, and mr Gold just added the strongest bit of magic to the mix. And even if my theory isn't right, we're talking about magic, no one says there are limits and/or rules.
Regarding August/Pinocchio: he wasn't turning into wood because he didn't honor his promises, he was changing due to the lack of magic in this world. When emma started believing and went to see him the curse was still up and there was no magic yet, thus his transformation kept happening. As of why the first part took weeks and now his face changed in front of emma: all diseases (and I think you can compare it to that) get progressively aggressive. So that's no so weird.
But I wont mind if you'd stop watching. I mean you don't even get it......

farsia: I think they'll all remember. The curse has been lifted, which means their old memories came back. Not switched out. I think we saw that in the first glances Snow and Charming gave each other.
There are a lot of your questions that are meant to remain questions for now. We can guess, but that's it. I doubt the lifting of the curse means they get to go back. But with that purple fog enveloping the town, bringing magic back, they'll have all of their abilities again.

The dumbass show makes less sense every episode.

I can go on with the multitude of discrepancies, contradictions and plotholes this show keeps throwing at us every episode. But screw it. I don't have to go along for a second season and I won't.
Have fun in Storybrooke you poor suckers.

Yes yes yes! I totally LOVE LOVE LOVE this show and kudos to the writers indeed for pulling this off (linking all fairy tales and making such an awesome series!) Truly cant wait another summer! I think i must drugged myself to pass the summer!
I think Emma now will lose her edge/power becos magic is back in this normal land and thats why Regina is smiling in the end cos again, she has the upper hand! So perhaps Emma will sort of be redundant. Cos her role was simply to break the curse? It'll be funny to see Emma reuniting with MM/Snow and to call her MOM when she is her age! :P
Also, i'm very intrigued to what kind of plans the writers have for the next season since S1 is so awesome!

Mr. Gold (Rumpelstilskin) has never actually lied to Emma. He used her to accomplish his own agenda, but he DID tell to trust him and Henry would be fine. Rumpelstilskin is a tricky character, but I believe he is more an ally than enemy to Emma. I loved having Beauty and the Beast reunited, but wonder if Rumpelstilskin realizes that his true love is POWER, not Belle. Since Rumpelstilskin sacraficed true love for power, will he and Belle be together next season?

Rumple said that the well will " return what is lost" not anything about true love. I was expecting it to bring bae back to be honest, but I guess magic has been lost too. I'm sure that his motives have something to do with finding his son, but bae won't be happy if his father is still the dark lord.

oh, i forgot, i have one more Q.
do they all remember what happened to them when they curse was upon them? so Snow is going to know how David acted? i mean they both know it all because of the curse but it is bound to be hard to get it out of your head! and from the reaction of that nun who send "the queen" in hiding a the end, i am inclined to to think that they remember it all!

Question, thought i am happy that they all remember, i am a little confused about Kathryn's story, it sort of just ended, what about Frederick, we saw him in Storybrook just once when he found her car but then what? is that it? everybody gets a happy ending(sort of) but her? that is miserable.
and also now that they remember, and magic is back, the curse is lifted and all, can they leave Storybrook? go anywhere? or will they all want back to the fairytale world?
i wander what will happen to Cinderella now that they remember? his father will not be happy....
Oh My God!! now that the magic is back Ruby/Red will be turning into a wolf on full moon, i hope the cape is with her.
this is going to be fun!!

I don't think that Jefferson knew that Gold would release the magic; he just knew that Gold was nasty enough to do the things to Regina that he couldnt' do.
May 14th, 2012 9:06 AM
I knew from episode 1 that emma would end curse by giving henry true loves kiss. I loved the paralel storytelling with emma and charming both trying to rescue their true loves. Emma and david are alot alike cause both have made all the wrong choices cause neither knew themselves. Next season is wonderfully set up. Charming and snow vs king and queen in fairy land while emma must take down regina and gold in SB. How will characters deal with duel identities. They have memories of both worlds like hatter said. Archie will be busy trying to sort those out.

Were my wife and I the only ones that never doubted that Henry would survive? Not just because he is central to the plot, but because of Gold's words.
"Your son will be fine. I'll see to that."
Mr. Gold doesn't lie. His meaning isn't always what you think it is. I mean he'd definitely be done in by that whole "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" thing. But he doesn't lie. When he said that Henry would survive, we knew that was the truth.

Rumple went to the well to retrieve his lost love. We assumed it would be Bae but instead it was his magic. His magical power is his one true love.

Best episode of the season! Adam and Ed are superb producers!!! I also felt sorry for Regina in that she lost a lot in her life. I am so glad that Snow and Charming are together now. They can truly help Emma and Henry now.
SO much to look forward to.
Gold/ Rumple is THE villian. Robert Carlyle needs to win an award already!!!! Brilliant performance.
I think I know a bit of Rumple's plan: When Baelfire left to the mortal world, there was no way to go there without the dark curse. He gave it to one of the witches cuz he knew they would be desperate to use it. And Regina did. But he also knew that when he got to the real world. He wouldn't have magic, so he made sure that sure that Emma would be saved and come back, break the curse and finally he would be able to bring magic to a world without magic and find his son.
May 14th, 2012 7:38 AM
I didn't like Regina smiling at the end :/
I mean, it's maybe a fun twist to introduce magic to Strorybrook and god knows what Rumple plans to do with this, but it will also give Regina power again in the exact moment she finally lost her non-magical power over Storybrook's residents!
May 14th, 2012 7:23 AM
oved it but just one little problem. How did Jefferson know that Gold would release the magic so presumably he would get his own powers back to save his daughter?
He did not.
Just as Regina said, Jefferson does not have it in him to actually kill Regina.
So he freed Belle and directed her to Gold in order to paint a big target on Regina, as a way to get back at her.
May 14th, 2012 7:22 AM
Mr. Gold however was the most curious of the episode. I believe that this is all playing out like he planned (or rather suspected.
Most likely planned. We do know Rumple can see future(just not his own most likely, hence why he can't see Bae or belle). Everything since emma came to town pretty much played out exactly as he wanted, down to Emma and Regina's phones ringing about henry just as they are about to go after Gold.
May 14th, 2012 7:21 AM
How many times had she picked up that book before? Was this time different because she was open to the possibility now that this could all be true?
IMO, book itself has nothing to do with her starting to believe.
Emma has been gradually getting clues and inconsistencies in storybrooke that would add up to belief, but due to her own insecurities and inability to accept responsibility, she was in deep denial over all of it.
Henry getting hurt pretty much broke the dam, caused avalanche or whatever you want to call. And once she believed, book was able to show her that as a sort of "activation".
May 14th, 2012 7:06 AM
Loved it but just one little problem. How did Jefferson know that Gold would release the magic so presumably he would get his own powers back to save his daughter? After all Gold might just have killed Regina. Okay not much of a second season if he had but still...also we didnt get to see Pinnochio at the end so we dont know if he turned back into a boy again? But it was quite brilliant. Cant wait to see Malificent back next month in True Blood!
