HEART PALPITATIONS!
YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS. I AM STILL FREAKING THE FUCK OUT. THAT FINALE WAS EVERYTHING I WAS HOPING IT WOULD BE AND SO MUCH MORE. THIS POST ISN'T GOING TO BE VERY COHERENT BUT BARE WITH ME. I JUST NEED TO FLAIL WITH YOU GUYS.
My heart literally started racing within the first few minutes of this episode. When Regina told Emma Rumplestiltskin's name! So fabulous! Also, am I missing something? What made Emma suddenly start believing? Was it when she touched the book? Because I could have sworn that she had already handled the book before that moment. I don't know, either way, I loved that whole scene where all the memories came rushing back to her.
I loved the scenes between Rumple and Charming! That was a bad ass sword fight. Also, damn, Rumple! You looked fierce in Charming's cape. Work it!
What the hell was up with that egg? I was expecting Cedric Diggory to show up and suggest that you listen to it in the bathtub. I was so excited where that ended up going, though! Maleficent! I was really glad to see her back but it sucks that they killed her off so quickly. I loved the fan theory that she was down in the mine shaft in dragon form ended up being correct! Also, I loved how Emma threw the sword through the dragon's heart. That was a nice shout out to the Disney classic. :D
Also, another correct fan theory that ended up being correct! Jefferson busted Belle out of the hospital! Cyprith on tumbler ended up writing a while series of fics based around this concept, and now it's canon. BOOYAH!
BELLE. OH SWEET LORD ABOVE, BELLE. I MISSED YOU, BB!
AND YOUR REUNION WITH GOLD! IT WAS EVERYTHING I EVER COULD HAVE WANTED!
THAT MOMENT WHEN HE REALIZES YOU'RE NOT A FIGMENT OF HIS IMAGINATION
WHEN HE SAYS HE'LL PROTECT YOU
WHEN YOU REMEMBER WHO HE IS
WHEN HE SAYS HE LOVES YOU TOO
I am on cloud nine right now. Thank you, Once writers, for not screwing this ship over! Well, at least not yet. We'll just have to see what awaits us next season. I'm just glad we got the reunion we've all been waiting for!
What am I going to do with my life now? Oh, I know:
