So, yesterday's OUAT finale? Mostly satisfying, though that cliffhanger was absolutely maddening...

after fending off a unicorn attack, they get lost in a labyrinth

People who refuse to watch Classic Who seriously don't know what they're missing.

Oh, yes--so very much.

You are lucky, I'd really love to watch more 2nd Doctor stories.

I think we all would. Unfortunately, what we have is limited thanks to the BBC's tape-wiping. Urgh.

that finale just made me want more, I'm glad some things got resolved, and it makes me wonder what the heck does peter pan want with Henry?

I think I may have Shienna end up in Storybrooke for one episode

by the way what do you think of the spin off that's happening this fall ?

I think the finale can be best described as "tying up all the existing loose ends and untying a major new one."

I don't know much about the spinoff, but I am curious about it--particularly if Cora's going to be playing a role or not.

The finale was definitely overall satisfying! It doesn't make up for the trainwreck that is season 2, but at least it ensures that I'll keep watching.

I've heard that there will be Bae/Neal stuff in season 3! And there had definitely better be a reunion.

I'm a little unsure what to think of Peter Pan apparently being the upcoming Big Bad. I'm okay with a dark Neverland, and with Peter's shadow being freaky, but Peter himself being so twisted ... not sure what to think. I do think the character is kind of warped, and I've even heard some people speculating that maybe he kills any Lost Boys who start to grow up, but I don't know that I personally subscribe to him being that creepy. I really don't like that in the book he's pretty much "out of sight, out of mind", though, and forgets people who die, even Tink.

Oooh wow. That definitely sounds like an intense arc. I'm certainly curious about it, with the story-spinning elements.

Hmm, same. Let's just hope they don't mess up again in S3. Like I said, if any backstabbing goes on in the rescue team, I will not be pleased.

Yessssssssss.

I am a bit dubious, as well--as well as Greg and Tamara's role. They are being quite hypocritical, what with saying magic is a disease and then using it all over the place. Makes you wonder what their logic is...

Definitely intense. The look on Two's face when he realizes that Jamie and Zoe are under the creep's control is absolutely heartbreaking... Patrick, like Simon, is exceptionally gifted with using facial expressions without saying a word yet speaking volumes: http://rose-of-pollux.tumblr.com/post/49466952617/onna4-here-he-thought-that-he-lost-jamie-and

Totally.

Definitely a good point. I've been raising an eyebrow at their usage of magic too.

Gah. Heartbreaking indeed!
