I have mixed opinions about this season, I know there was a fair amount of people who really didn't like this season or Cinderella, I didn't love this season but I did still enjoy it. I never really loved Cinderella and her storyline but their was another character and the storyline surrounding that character that I really liked, I won't say who because I don't want to build expectations or give any spoilers. There were several other characters and story arcs I enjoyed as well, so overall well this might not be my favorite season I do still enjoy it.

A Pirate's Life... phenomenal!!! First... I totally agree with you in regards to this season's version of Cinderella and her whole storyline. I don't like her actress much, or her storyline overall. But I still consider this episode to be a 10 out of 10 because I think that overall... it's so, so fantastic! I absolutely love it! Now... I absolutely love that Detective Rogers has turned out to be Wish Realm Hook instead of Killian like we all initially assumed he was. I never saw this coming. I did't expect we would see this Wish Realm Hook again, because he was initially meant to be just a character briefly seen in season sixs episode... Tougher Than tha Rest, and he wasn't supposed to be taken seriously either. And yet he's now back again with an all new story, and I absolutely love it!!! What an absolutely marvelous twist!! Beautiful!!!! I love it so, so much!! This episode made me cry. Just because it is just so beautiful. A Pirate's Life is everything I wanted and more. Like I said... I was so shocked that Wish Hook has turned out to become so much more of an intriguing and stronger character than I ever thought he could have been, because when he was first introduced back in season six's episode... Tougher Than the Rest, he was meant to be nothing more than a joke. And I hated it. But I absolutely love how he's already become established as someone who is so much more, and with a very intriguing mystery surrounding his missing daughter, while his heart has mysteriously been poisoned by a witch so that he cannot save her. Now... I absolutely love the very first scene as Killian is training Henry, still played by Jared Gilmore. It is nice to see Killian sword fighting again. I didn't care how Henry reacted when Killian warned him not to take his eyes off the fight, but I get it. He was growing up and needed a chance to find his own place in the world. I also really love the message in a bottle idea. So sweet and that first moment between him and Emma... awe!!!! I just absolutely love seeing Killian and Emma moments where we see their love for one another. Next... I love it when Henry in the present day calls Emma, Killian, and Regina for help using Hook's bottle, although I was surprised that Emma doesn't come right away. I also really love Hook's and Regina's entrance into this new fairytale realm, as Hook takes down Lady Tremaine's men, then seeing Regina blast Drizella back. It is wonderful to see the three of them reunite. However, hearing Killian and Regina argue about Emma's "decision" was a little strange to me. In all honesty, they play Emma's secret of her being pregnant a little strangely at first I think. The writers make it seem like Emma's life is in danger or something, but in the end... she's just fine, and she and Killian are soon going to have a baby. So, yeah... I don't really care much for how Killian and Regina are written to make Emma's pregnancy so much worse than what it is, unless you look at this situation as Killian just being really worried about Emma because maybe her pregnancy hasn't been so easy on her so far. Maybe they had some kind of scare with the baby, and Killian is overly worried about her and his child. In which case, I like this. I just wish it had been written a little differently to explain this. But nonetheless... it works itself out. I absolutely love the moments between Rogers and Henry in Hyperion Heights, especially when Rogers comes to Henry asking him about the mysterious woman in his book and whether or not she's based off of someone real. He knows her deep inside of himself and I love it! I also really love seeing Rogers working with Weaver. Weaver's just like Rumplestiltskin and I couldn't wait to see where their partnership takes them. And I like how Roni warns Rogers to watch out for him. So exciting! And then at the dance recital when Rogers slips Henry the swan keychain instead of the bracelet like Weaver wanted... Fantastic! Again... it is kind of a weirdly written scene just like you mention, and perhaps not acted too well as far as Robert Carlyle's performance is concerned, and given that he is a phenomenal actor... it's rare to see him act in a way that is so off for him. And yet... in the end, I also love that Weaver respects and explains to Rogers that he had chosen him to become his partner, because Rogers has a moral core. Which again... makes me that much more intrigued by Weaver and his true motives as well. As for old drunk Wish Realm Hook... like I mentioned above, I didn't see this twist coming and I wasn't impressed at first, because I really hated him in the first episode he appeared in. It was no fault to Colin O'Donoghue by any means, I just don't like seeing any version of Captain Hook... my all time favorite character throughout thsi entire show, that weak and pathetic. Because he isn't the Hook we all know and love. And yet by the end of this episode, or rather as soon as the true reasons for this Wish Realm version of Hook coming back into this show and why he is doing all he's doing are revealed, I immediately came to love this twist very, very much!!! And I now absolutely love this version of Captain Hook as well!!! And now... we understand more of his reason for being, especially more so in this episode, as he's a weaker man and a fool because he lost his way and never found Emma, or his own True Love to guide him back to the man he truly is like Killian had found Emma years ago. And the more I thought about Wish Hook coming back into the show and the more I watched the first scene between him and Killian just before Wish Hook knocks Killian out, I found him to be quite funny in this episode. And Colin really plays both versions of Hook brilliantly. :) I really love that Wish Hook also goes to Lady Tremaine to become aged down into the Captain Hook we all know and love so he could try to steal Emma away from Killian, believing that Emma can do for him as she has done for Killian. And yet, this character is redeemed in this episode. I absolutely love this storyline, and new story arc for this new version of Hook!! :) I love hearing all about what is going on with the family back in Storybrooke from Regina when Henry asks her about everyone. Archie's wedding officiating has gone way up. And the Charmings are still happy and as much in love as ever. Yay! Then... Wish Realm Hook comes back to Regina and Henry waiting for him at the cottage in the woods and Emma finally comes in. And she's pregnant!!! Which I was sadly spoiled for me because of the stupid spoilers that keep getting shoved in our faces before this episode even aired, no matter where we looked despite my efforts to avoid them. Nonetheless... I love that Emma has become pregnant. So good for her and for Killian. I am incredibly happy by this surprise, but I wish I didn't know about it before I watched the episode the night it aired. It should have been a complete surprise! Next... I love that Henry quickly catches onto Wish Hook and knows that something wasn't right with Killian right away, which was great. Wish Hook is just so funny in his scene with Henry just before Emma showed up. And I also love the moment Emma reveals she is pregnant, especially because we see how Wish Hook immediately regrets trying to take Killian away from his wife and soon to be born child. I love how Wish Hook states that he has always tried to be a good man, then that he was going to go make things right. So beautiful. In the end... I really love, love, love where this story for Wish Hook takes us. I love that Wish Hook has a daughter he is desperately trying to find and save, and that he has also been cursed with a poisoned heart so that he can't be with her. My absolute favorite moment within this episode comes in the end... when Emma is able to heal Wish Hook upon him getting stabbed in his short lived fight against Killian, as Emma makes him believe that he is capable of True Love. Helps him to believe he can be healed so long as he believes in her. Because she knows her Killian, and that this Wish version of him is who Killian used to be... a man who was lost and desperately seeking a chance at a happy ending. To find True Love. This is a really, really beautiful moment between the three of them. And not only do I love seeing Emma save Wish Hook upon healing him, but I also absolutely love Killian's longing to save him as well, as he begs Emma to find the part inside of Wish Hook that was once him. I love that Killian's whole perspective and understanding of his other self changes so drastically upon him listening to Wish Hook tell him about his longing and desperate need to find and save his daughter. It's so, so beautiful!! It is kind of funny to see both Killians talking to them in the end too. And Henry teams up with "other Hook" as Regina calls him, with Regina too. A new Operation! And finally... we now have learned that Officer Rogers within the present day Hyperion Heights storyline, is actually Wish Realm Hook because our Killian is back in Storybrooke with Emma living their happy ending. I am so happy for that. Apparently, the curse never reached as far as Storybrooke. And it explains why Killian and Regina are here in Hyperion Heights, while Emma isn't. Colin O'Donoghue really wanted to continue to play Hook and the creators were thrilled, but they knew that Jennifer Morrison was ready to move on and that the fans of this show would have been upset that they separated Killian from Emma. So they came up with the solution to have Wish Hook come back in to join the heroes. And it's a fabulous idea. And now we have yet to learn why Gold is here now too. All in all... Wish Realm Hook's story arc this season is absolutely beautiful. And I especially love his story arc throughout this episode. It's sad, but still beautiful because Rogers/Wish Hook is still much like Killian, and not the man I hated the first time we were introduced to him. And now they'll have to find his daughter somewhere within Hyperion Heights. And in the very end... I absolutely love how Rogers recalls Emma healing him that day in the harbor, even if his memory of it is tweaked by the curse. He remembers her face, but believes he had been shot, then saved by Emma holding her hand over his wound long enough for the ambulance to arrive. This goes to show that no matter how strong the dark curse is that has once again cursed this new realm and our characters, there are memories, or moments in one's life that are so powerful, and so life changing, that even magic as powerful as the dark curse, can't completely earse moments such as this from one's mind. And Rogers most certainly remembers this moment as much as he's able to, because Emma's words, and hers and Killian's fight to save him really stuck with him and changed him so he could be the best verison of himself. I absolutely love this so, so much!!! And now... I love how now Rogers, Roni, and Henry have teamed up to look after one another, as they are now seeking out how to stop Victoria Bellfry. It's absolutely brilliant! :) All in all... a fabulous and beautiful episode! I love seeing Emma and Killian return home to Storybrooke to live happily ever after. And I am very, very excited for this new version of Killian now that he is no longer the man we first saw him as. I really do love this development. Thank you once more like always, Steven!! Until your continued reactions for more Once Upon a Time season seven... Sincerely, Heidi
