The fact that even though in this timeline that Emma and Hook created where they drastically changed how Snow and Charming met...They still had the exact same conversation!!! I mean it was the exact same dialogue they had in season 1!! About the fairy dust and how Snow confessed that she ruined the queen's life...exactly the same but just different circumstances and this just shows how they were always meant to be
The only problem i have with this: she confesses that she ruined queen's life, but she discovers it on daniel's grave, when she has met Charming, yet. So in that moment she should not know why Regina is so angry with her
Your reactions to this finale make me smile. Love your excitement over Hook and Emma. Will watch the rest of your videos for these reactions specifically!
Your reaction to Captain Swan kissing was everything 😂😂😂 Are you aware how much you were channelling Palatine during this? "Yess. Yesssssss! Gooooooood! Now tongues!" 😂😂 Maybe your sand reference took you there. Then the Friends reference at the end! The pop culture was strong with you this episode 😆
While Robin was recast after S2, Marian wasn't-Christie Laing played Marian in 2x19, and yet basically no reactor I've watched has recognized her! As gut-wrenching as it is, I really liked the Marian twist here. Too often shows add relationship drama by having one or more person just be awful (see, e.g., S1 David), but here neither Regina not Robin (nor Marian) can really be faulted. The actress for Elsa hadn't been cast yet at this point-I think it’s actually Jennifer Morrison-so in that sense the final scene isn't Elsa. But otherwise, yeah, it definitely is. "Frozen" is (*very* loosely) based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen", so it is fairy-tale based. And of course it is Disney. But still not what anyone expected beforehand.
I know I probably shouldn’t laugh but when you threw your notebook I couldn’t help it🤣 It’s understandable and a good twist even though it upsets the happiness between Regina and Robin. I don’t like the way some fans show Emma hate though because she saved an innocent woman’s life. All in all, this finale is just lovely and special to me as someone who loves Emma’s character. Her finally realizing where her home is, seeing how her parents fell in love, have a man express that love to her in a profound way is very meaningful to me. I always say that moment with Emma and Hook where he tells her he traded his ship for me and they finally kiss again is my absolute favorite. Hook gave up his home to bring Emma back to hers. And I promise you, you will enjoy the Frozen story. It’s one of the best of the series and the characters integrate seamlessly with our beloved ones. They fantastic and there’s some truly hilarious and very moving moments within this arc. I look forward to seeing how you like it!!
SO GREAT! I don't think I've ever smiled and laughed so much in a reaction than I did in this one (a little embarrased how hard I laughed when your cat ran through!) Season 3 finale is just so perfect, definitely my favorite. Excited for season 4 now!
Are you not furious with Rumpel at this point? For me, marrying Belle whilst lying to her and being Dark once more - it killed the Rumbelle ship for me. It doesn't feel like love; it feels like control.
What a phenomenal two part finale!! I have to say... season three's finale is my favorite out of all the season finales. These two part episodes are just so beautiful and I love them so much!! Thank you, thank you for two more fabulous and fun reactions from you!!! Where to begin? First... I just have to say, I love, love, love Hook and Emma throughout this two part finale. They are absolutely perfect for one another! The chemistry between actors Jennifer Morrison and Colin O'Donoghue is outstanding and perfect. Their acting together overall and especially in these episodes to me is perfect, and their love for one another... even though Emma might be less sure of her feelings for Hook at this point than his absolute feelings for Emma are... Beautiful!! I love this finale in its entirety so much, but if I had to choose what my most favorite moment within it is... Hands down, it's the moment in the end between Emma and Killian when Killian at last confesses to Emma that he traded his ship in order to be able to get back to her in New York, then they kiss. And what a kiss... or kisses!! Seeing Killian shrug off all that he's done for Emma like it's no big deal, with the belief that no one else will see all of his efforts in such a way, as well as the look of surprise on Emma's face upon realizing just how much Killian has really done for her and her alone, and a much deeper admiration for Killian in her eyes just before they kiss... and in their kisses... beautiful and phenomenal!! This moment for me makes me cry tears of joy. And yes... Killian is no longer just Hook in Emma's eyes. This episode is really the first time Emma uses his real name out of a much deeper respect and understanding, outside of from when Emma's had to call Hook Killian whenever Henry was around so long as he was without his memories through most of the second half of season three. Also... we know that Killian giving up the Jolly Roger for Emma is a great sacrifice for him, given that it’s been his home for centuries since his brother’s death. Like we saw in this season’s episode... the Jolly Roger, his ship means so much to Killian. He made a big mistake that hurt Ariel in risking Prince Eric’s life for the sake of his ship, which Hook deeply regretted. And yet... we also saw he did so because he believed then he had lost Emma for good and he only had his ship left. He couldn’t hand her over... least of all to one of his enemies, Black Beard, who wanted the Jolly Roger merely to try to prove to everyone that Hook has gone soft... a trait that is extremely dangerous for any pirate. And yet... Killian traded the Jolly Roger for Emma the moment he had a chance to be with her again. This shows just how much Killian truly loves Emma. And I love this so, so very much!!! But again... all of this isn't to take away from all of this episode's other events that I love either, as Emma, Hook, Snow, and Charming face off against the Evil Queen and her men, all so Emma and Hook can try to correct the timeline and bring Emma's parents back together, them nearly losing Snow to death, and finally Emma and Hook to nearly being trapped together forever within Rumplestiltskin's castle vault. It's all amazing in every way. Now... all throughout these episodes, Killian keeps warning Emma not to change anything at the risk of ruining something that's meant to be. He warned her several times and unfortunately, Emma kept messing things up despite his warnings. Not on purpose of course, but because she was simply naïve to the true consequences of her actions within the past. And if her mistakes weren't already bad enough before... Emma also saves Marian from being executed. Of course I understand why she did so, because it was terrible that Marian was meant to die and the guilt would have plagued Emma if she had left Marian to die. But unfortunately, in the end of the episode we are reminded that this woman is Marian, who is Robin's wife, who was meant to die that day, and who is now no longer dead. Which creates a big mess for Emma, poor Regina and Robin, and Roland too of course. Marian's alive and Robin is now trapped between a rock and a hard place. And boy... is Regina mad. Like mother, like daughter indeed. Yikes! I honestly didn't see this twist coming either. Because like you, I didn't remember Marian's face from the previous episode she briefly appeared in back in season two... Lacey. And yes... the actress who played her then is the same actress who is playing her once again. And while Marian's arrival in present day Storybrooke is exciting and unexpected, at the same time... I couldn't help but feel upset by it too. Because not only will this cause problems for Regina and Robin, given that they've come to fall so deeply in love with one another at this point, but it also has created a dark rift between Emma and Regina, just when the two of them had become friends. Plus... I really hate love triangles, like I said all along throughout this season with the love triangle formed between Hook, Emma, and Neal. I have been waiting very anxiously for this two part finale because I wanted you to see Emma and Killian finally together and to route for them as a True Love couple, who are easily my favorite True Love couple throughout the entire series. But now... a new love triangle is formed between Regina, Robin, and Marian. Don't get me wrong... I absolutely love all that's to come in season four. However, with Marian being back... there are definitely some complications that were written to create drama between these beloved characters. And some of the drama to come for me... is unnecessary. I absolutely love the continuation of Snow's and Charming's own love story being played out, still with a few more changes. So beautiful. I love that it's Charming who recognizes the ladybug to be Snow upon listening to her talk about the dark fairy dust and what it can do while they traveled together with Hook to the Evil Queens castle, and how he saves her from being squashed by Hook. I also love that Snow goes back for Charming on the bridge to save him from being killed by the trolls, this time using only sand to trick the trolls into leaving them alone, until this brings them back on course at last as Snow and Charming share their lines about finding one another and Snow nearly believing that Charming would. And I love, love, love that Emma and Killian are watching their final moments together from a distance, allowing for Emma to see her parents fall in love with one another for the first time, as Killian states, "It’s okay, Swan. Not everyone gets the chance to watch their parents fall in love.", as he wipes away the tears falling down Emma's cheeks. So beautiful! Also... Mary Margaret and David name their second child... their son Neal, after Rumple's son of course. In honor of Neal's sacrifice. And while I personally don't care much for Neal, I still think this is sweet that the baby was named after him. While I'm still not convinced by how much I like Neal's storyline with dying to bring Rumple back and everyone putting the blame for his death on Zelena... this is still a nice moment. Like you... I especially love the look on Gold's face upon hearing that the Charmings' child is named after his son. Very sweet. Another of my favorite moments within this episode... is between Emma, David, Mary Margaret, and Henry when Emma rushes back to them at Granny's once she and Hook return from their time travel adventure... as Emma immediately hugs her parents for real this time, announces that she's staying in Storybrooke because she's finally found her home, and Emma finally calling her parents Mom and Dad. The only other time Emma ever called them that, was back in season two's finale... And Straight on 'Til Morning when Emma believes they are about to die because Storybrooke is about to be wiped out by Regina's failsafe. At last... Emma is calling her parents Mom and Dad because she finally sees them as such and loves them as such. So sweet and beautiful. And I love how happy it makes Henry that they're staying in Storybrooke too.
Watching you watch that was better than watching the episode 😂😂 The cat bomb.. hilarious.. Neil, The baby.. 😂😂😂😂😂 All my ships.. Oh no.. Marian .. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Liam i love you 😍😍😍
I loved this finale. Lots of great twists for sure but my favorite part was Emma finding out that Killian traded his ship for her. That will always be one of my favorite moments between them. If you go into the Frozen arc with an open mind you may be pleasantly surprised. It fits in more than you’d think and they’re cast perfectly. I only saw the movie once before this and thought the same as you and I love this arc on the show
I agree it was definitely better then expected. I remember when I saw the ending scene of this episode I was also like oh no but the way they do it in the show was really good
Best finale of the series! Don't be apprehensive about season 4. They blend Frozen along seamlessly with the classic Snow Queen fairytale. It's quite clever! I highly recommend watching the spinoff show though between season 3 and 4 to understand season 4 better. The main show will incorporate a character from the spinoff.
Tbh, the main show never took the time to do anything with the character from the spin-off. You don't HAVE to have seen the spin-off. None of the questions raised by the incorporation of the character will be answered either way.
@@joolaine I agree that it doesn't HAVE to be watched but I do recommend it. Otherwise, you are like who the heck is this person and you don't really understand the scenes between him and his former friend. I'm trying to speak vaguely so not to spoil haha also it helps understand the background of a season 6 villain and how that person became where they are (physically speaking) when arriving.
My beloved Rumbelle finally get married. The newly minted OutlawQueen ship sets sail and immediately hits rocks. And Elsa is here to create Frozen!Storybrooke! ❤
A man after my own heart. I LOVED the Neverland arc but I understand many people didn't? I never comment on TH-cam videos but I'm seriously enjoying yours!
" I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." IM YELLING (oh Anakin) the first time i watched I recognized marian from her first scene and when Emma wanted to save her i was just yelling NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ahdfhdsfdghfsf I was so pissed too. But most people i saw watching OUAT didn't recognize her either cause she was there for a small scene, and I feel so bad every time this part arrrives. It's interesting cause you seem to have similar tastes as I did when i first watched the show, I wasn't too thrilled about Frozen either (And I didn't like that storyline either when it happened) but I ended up loving season 5 so much (which some people don't, idk why) so...idk how far along you are in your watch but keep on being strong hahahaha
Next... I do for the most part like the scenes with Neal in the flashbacks even if I didn't care too much for his character and especially his love story with Emma. I really like the parallels from Emma's past and present bringing together parts of the storyline, since yes... Neal's lines about home being a place you just miss when you leave it... is exactly what Emma says to Hook in Snow Drifts. We also get a few more past appearances throughout this episode like you mentioned, as we see Blue, Archie, Red, and Moe again. And yes... it's really quite nice to see each of them again. I especially love seeing Archie as he marries Belle and Gold. Yep... Belle and Rumple get married. Very sweet and beautiful. I really love Belle's line... "And sometimes the best cups are chipped." Their vows were beautiful and I love that there was a montage during them showing each of the True Love couples together. David and Mary Margaret while their holding one another with little Neal in his mother's arms while Belle talks about always finding Rumple like Snow and Charming always have, Regina and Robin walking down the street with Roland between them, and with Emma and Killian continuing to kiss outside of Granny's as Rumple talks about his past being dark until Belle brought light into his life much like Emma has done for Killian too. Absolutely beautiful. :) Also... I absolutely love the scene between Hook and David by the campfire while they're waiting for Snow to return to help them break into the Evil Queen's castle. This is another of my absolute favorite scenes throughout this episode. I love any scene between David and Hook really, but this one is special for me because it helps to establish Killian and Emma as True Loves. First... it's sad how uncertain David is of his future with Abigail and how uncertain he is as to whether or not True Love exists. However, Hook helps him to believe that all it takes is finding the right person. And then... David asks Hook if he believes that Princess Leia... that Emma is his True Love. Sadly, Killian is uncertain by Emma's feelings for him, but again I love his line... "I'd go to the end of the world for her... or time." I also love that David talks about how his father... who is not really his father because he's talking about King George... is making trouble for him and Hook states he feels unsure that Emma's parents don't approve of him. David assures Hook that any father who knew how much Hook was doing for Emma would be a fool not to approve of him. I love that Hook then states... "I hope you remember that." Amazing! And yes... I truly hope that David will remember the lengths Killian has gone to save and protect Emma, as well as to remind her that she is in fact the Savior and is home. And then... trouble of course ensues and Snow is nearly killed by a fireball fired by Regina as she nearly executes Snow. Luckily, Snow was clever enough to save just enough of the dark fairy dust to turn herself into a ladybug just at the right moment to save herself and to fake her death. It's such a great scene and I love how Killian's there to comfort Emma as she's forced to watch her mother supposedly become burned at the stake. And then he's there for Emma again afterwards in the forest when Killian talks to Emma about how he felt upon losing his brother. That his pain consumed him, while he pleads with Emma not to let her own pain do the same to her. Such a sweet, tender moment between them. I also deeply love how Killian continues to convince Emma that her home is in Storybrooke with her family and all those who love her throughout these episodes, especially during the scene within Rumple's vault in his castle. Emma is so stubborn, I was almost afraid she'd never come to see that she truly belonged in Storybrooke. However, I love that Killian never gave up trying to convince her as such. And I love that Emma finally comes to this realization at last as well, after everything she's been through on this time travel adventure with Killian and her parents. Killian and Emma are absolutely meant to be. :) And as always... Rumple is of course amazing in his past form as Rumplestiltskin once again. I love how he smugly, almost mockingly tells Emma and Hook that there's no way to send them home without Emma being able to wield her magic, then poofs them down inside his own dark vault. I also love his reappearance when Emma finally succeeds in reopening the portal, as Rumple nearly stops Emma from getting back home as he pleads with her to know about what happens to his son. I love how Emma pleads with Rumple to take the forgetting potion in order to make sure everything happens as it's meant to. The pain in her eyes is so heartbreaking. Once again... brilliant acting by Jennifer Morrison. And then... Rumple lets her go as he takes the forgetting potion, bends down to pick up the wand Emma dropped as she fell through the portal, then he states... "What the hell am I doing in here!" I love it! So Rumple. :) I love every bit of this finale because it's so centric around bringing Emma and Killian together, as well as helping Emma find her home at last. I love how much Killian was there for her and that Emma called him a hero in the end just before they share their kiss that is so much deeper than the kiss they share in Neverland. Because this time, Emma truly has come to care for Killian in return, and Killian has already come to love her so much more than Emma truly knows. And yes... the themes and parallels throughout these two episodes are beautiful and just perfect. Thank you again, so much for this reaction!!! I absolutely love watching it again with you, and I'm thrilled that you loved it too!! :) I can't wait for season four to begin!!! Has Elsa come to Storybrooke? You'll have to wait and see. I promise you that all that comes works really well. Season four is just as phenomenal as season three, if not more so. I absolutely love all that's to come for our beloved characters!! And what a great way to end this season finale! Season four is so good and I can't wait to see your reactions for every episode to come!! Until your reaction for season four's opening episode... Thank you, thank you!!!
I really dont understand what everyone loved about Pan...the only thing he did is underestimate everyones powers...remember in episode 9 how regina ripped his heart out.. that was so easy for her. He really isnt that powerfull as they wrote him. And also they never really explained what made him so strong...maybe it was the shadow?..idk...With Zelena they did a wonderfull job. She really scared the shit out of me..and she actually had succeed with her plan...unlike Pan...The whole neverland arc eas exhausting...I only liked Rumple/Regina/Snowing development...but overall the 2nd half was great. I Think maybe ever the best of all the series. :)
11:55 lol... Exactly the same expression I had when I saw that ending a couple of years ago. This was a great season finale and a mouth opener for the next. Rumbelle finally married; but starting a marriage with lies in between it will be a bad omen; Come on Rumple why you're like that!!. and Emma ruined Regina's happy ending,... too bad. Please continue watching the serie!!, the next one is so... you have to watch it😭. Loving all yours video reactions.
It's interesting. Since you've only seen Frozen once, you're not as sick of it as everyone who was saturated with it for like 5 years. At least you thought it was okay, so it'll all work out. They do a pretty good job with the characters next season.
Ok gonna call it. You look like a combination of Hook and Robin. Kinda. Add the accent and all your musical references and I have a complex! LOL. No worries just having fun over here.
While it is easy to not blame anyone in the new triangle, it is a little bit harder to not put some blame on the person who was warned about messing with the past after watching what she went through trying to fix her accidental messing with her parents past. Oh Emma.☹👎 Good reaction for the last scene.
In your recap... you immediately correctly point out an element of emotion Robin should feel after ALL that and I was 100% right there with you when this originally aired but I have to tell you (of what I remember) there is not an ounce of that specific recognition from him at all and to this day it bothers me so fucking much. You like Regina a little more than I do, to be fair... I liked her much more as a character in the early seasons - THIS, the consequence of Marian showing back up and how she handles it, REALLY soured me to Regina. And in my opinion, the writers NEVER recovered her full potential to be redeemed (for me!) based on how she reacts to the people around her for something that she had done to begin with. I feel like that might be an unpopular opinion, so hopefully it isn't as irritating for you... especially seeing as how you seem to really enjoy Emma and Regina NOT being enemies and being fairly respectful of each other. But this season finale is the best of the series. Their finales always tend to be pretty great but, especially with S3 as a whole likely being their strongest, this one in particular (3x21&3x22 together) knocked it out of the park for me. Also, your reaction to Emma/Hook outside the diner was great! (they're my favorites) (I hope this isn't considered "spoilers"... I've tried to be as vague as possible... I just - uggh - have so many issues with the series from here on out and I just needed to say my piece about it once and be done lmfao)
I agree with you about Regina, I liked her in the first couple seasons but S3 is where a lot of problems with her character started for me: 3A - Calling Emma's sheriff election a "sham" when she became mayor because of a magical dark curse (pretty sure that's not a regular election). My first big problem with her character came in 3x09 when she literaly said she had no regret for all the evil things she did because she got something good out of it in the end with Henry. So all the families she separated, villages she's burned doesn't matter because she has Henry now. Then getting mad at Emma for saving a woman Regina herself killed and we should feel sorry for her because it just happened to be the wife of her boyfriend she's had for a little while.
I really dislike this ending! Rumpel lying to Belle.. I didn't remember the actress playing Marian, but I guessed who she was. I was really not thrilled of Regina possibly becoming evil again and the appearance of Elsa in the end killed my wish to watch the 4th season.
Congratulation! You have reached the top of the show! From here to the end, it's only a way down, being more messed up season by season, so you have seen the best ones.
@@ryugalaw I don't feel the same, but maybe it's just because I really love seasons 1, 2 and 3 (specially 3A, with Peter Pan). After that, it starts to present a lot of incongruences and repetitive situations and dramas. But it's great that you like them.
I dont agree season 4 is defnitely the best season of the bunch with season 1 in second and season 3 in third and season 6 was just as good as the earlier seasons almost every episode of season tied back to season 1 giving you that full circle moment over and over again
Thank you for all your support on Season 3! Roll on Season 4...

She brought something elsa back.
Yeah i feel you being so angry about Marian that was basically everyone's reaction lol... But i guess youjust have to let it go :D
tunderdiamant nice. 😏
Amazing reaction!!! You had me rolling when you threw your notebook, but I also felt your anger!!!!!
I am not huge Frozen fan as movie but in Once upon a time it is one of my favorite if not the best story.
"and they did doth bang!" lol, the cat bomb, the mad scientist-like excitement over the Captain Swan ship setting sail, loved it all!

Your reaction to Captain Swan kissing was everything 😂😂😂

Ready for your season 4 reaction. Glad you enjoyed season 3, one of the best seasons. 😁
Have a great day Liam
SO GREAT! I don't think I've ever smiled and laughed so much in a reaction than I did in this one (a little embarrased how hard I laughed when your cat ran through!) Season 3 finale is just so perfect, definitely my favorite. Excited for season 4 now!
They haven’t cast Elsa at this point yet, so I believe that’s Jennifer Morrison playing her right now.
explains why they didn't show her face o: I never knew that. that's kool
I really think you will like the Frozen story line. I think its one of the best...Im sure you are going to love it
Are you not furious with Rumpel at this point? For me, marrying Belle whilst lying to her and being Dark once more - it killed the Rumbelle ship for me. It doesn't feel like love; it feels like control.
Elsa is one of my favorite characters! I actually watched OUAT before Frozen but still loved her 😍 Can't wait.
Look at you speaking things into existence too bad it couldn't last
Loved the kitty photo bomb!
What a phenomenal two part finale!! I have to say... season three's finale is my favorite out of all the season finales. These two part episodes are just so beautiful and I love them so much!! Thank you, thank you for two more fabulous and fun reactions from you!!!
Where to begin? First... I just have to say, I love, love, love Hook and Emma throughout this two part finale. They are absolutely perfect for one another! The chemistry between actors Jennifer Morrison and Colin O'Donoghue is outstanding and perfect. Their acting together overall and especially in these episodes to me is perfect, and their love for one another... even though Emma might be less sure of her feelings for Hook at this point than his absolute feelings for Emma are... Beautiful!! I love this finale in its entirety so much, but if I had to choose what my most favorite moment within it is... Hands down, it's the moment in the end between Emma and Killian when Killian at last confesses to Emma that he traded his ship in order to be able to get back to her in New York, then they kiss. And what a kiss... or kisses!! Seeing Killian shrug off all that he's done for Emma like it's no big deal, with the belief that no one else will see all of his efforts in such a way, as well as the look of surprise on Emma's face upon realizing just how much Killian has really done for her and her alone, and a much deeper admiration for Killian in her eyes just before they kiss... and in their kisses... beautiful and phenomenal!! This moment for me makes me cry tears of joy. And yes... Killian is no longer just Hook in Emma's eyes. This episode is really the first time Emma uses his real name out of a much deeper respect and understanding, outside of from when Emma's had to call Hook Killian whenever Henry was around so long as he was without his memories through most of the second half of season three. Also... we know that Killian giving up the Jolly Roger for Emma is a great sacrifice for him, given that it’s been his home for centuries since his brother’s death. Like we saw in this season’s episode... the Jolly Roger, his ship means so much to Killian. He made a big mistake that hurt Ariel in risking Prince Eric’s life for the sake of his ship, which Hook deeply regretted. And yet... we also saw he did so because he believed then he had lost Emma for good and he only had his ship left. He couldn’t hand her over... least of all to one of his enemies, Black Beard, who wanted the Jolly Roger merely to try to prove to everyone that Hook has gone soft... a trait that is extremely dangerous for any pirate. And yet... Killian traded the Jolly Roger for Emma the moment he had a chance to be with her again. This shows just how much Killian truly loves Emma. And I love this so, so very much!!!
But again... all of this isn't to take away from all of this episode's other events that I love either, as Emma, Hook, Snow, and Charming face off against the Evil Queen and her men, all so Emma and Hook can try to correct the timeline and bring Emma's parents back together, them nearly losing Snow to death, and finally Emma and Hook to nearly being trapped together forever within Rumplestiltskin's castle vault. It's all amazing in every way.
Now... all throughout these episodes, Killian keeps warning Emma not to change anything at the risk of ruining something that's meant to be. He warned her several times and unfortunately, Emma kept messing things up despite his warnings. Not on purpose of course, but because she was simply naïve to the true consequences of her actions within the past. And if her mistakes weren't already bad enough before... Emma also saves Marian from being executed. Of course I understand why she did so, because it was terrible that Marian was meant to die and the guilt would have plagued Emma if she had left Marian to die. But unfortunately, in the end of the episode we are reminded that this woman is Marian, who is Robin's wife, who was meant to die that day, and who is now no longer dead. Which creates a big mess for Emma, poor Regina and Robin, and Roland too of course. Marian's alive and Robin is now trapped between a rock and a hard place. And boy... is Regina mad. Like mother, like daughter indeed. Yikes!
I honestly didn't see this twist coming either. Because like you, I didn't remember Marian's face from the previous episode she briefly appeared in back in season two... Lacey. And yes... the actress who played her then is the same actress who is playing her once again. And while Marian's arrival in present day Storybrooke is exciting and unexpected, at the same time... I couldn't help but feel upset by it too. Because not only will this cause problems for Regina and Robin, given that they've come to fall so deeply in love with one another at this point, but it also has created a dark rift between Emma and Regina, just when the two of them had become friends. Plus... I really hate love triangles, like I said all along throughout this season with the love triangle formed between Hook, Emma, and Neal. I have been waiting very anxiously for this two part finale because I wanted you to see Emma and Killian finally together and to route for them as a True Love couple, who are easily my favorite True Love couple throughout the entire series. But now... a new love triangle is formed between Regina, Robin, and Marian. Don't get me wrong... I absolutely love all that's to come in season four. However, with Marian being back... there are definitely some complications that were written to create drama between these beloved characters. And some of the drama to come for me... is unnecessary.
I absolutely love the continuation of Snow's and Charming's own love story being played out, still with a few more changes. So beautiful. I love that it's Charming who recognizes the ladybug to be Snow upon listening to her talk about the dark fairy dust and what it can do while they traveled together with Hook to the Evil Queens castle, and how he saves her from being squashed by Hook. I also love that Snow goes back for Charming on the bridge to save him from being killed by the trolls, this time using only sand to trick the trolls into leaving them alone, until this brings them back on course at last as Snow and Charming share their lines about finding one another and Snow nearly believing that Charming would. And I love, love, love that Emma and Killian are watching their final moments together from a distance, allowing for Emma to see her parents fall in love with one another for the first time, as Killian states, "It’s okay, Swan. Not everyone gets the chance to watch their parents fall in love.", as he wipes away the tears falling down Emma's cheeks. So beautiful!
Also... Mary Margaret and David name their second child... their son Neal, after Rumple's son of course. In honor of Neal's sacrifice. And while I personally don't care much for Neal, I still think this is sweet that the baby was named after him. While I'm still not convinced by how much I like Neal's storyline with dying to bring Rumple back and everyone putting the blame for his death on Zelena... this is still a nice moment. Like you... I especially love the look on Gold's face upon hearing that the Charmings' child is named after his son. Very sweet.
Another of my favorite moments within this episode... is between Emma, David, Mary Margaret, and Henry when Emma rushes back to them at Granny's once she and Hook return from their time travel adventure... as Emma immediately hugs her parents for real this time, announces that she's staying in Storybrooke because she's finally found her home, and Emma finally calling her parents Mom and Dad. The only other time Emma ever called them that, was back in season two's finale... And Straight on 'Til Morning when Emma believes they are about to die because Storybrooke is about to be wiped out by Regina's failsafe. At last... Emma is calling her parents Mom and Dad because she finally sees them as such and loves them as such. So sweet and beautiful. And I love how happy it makes Henry that they're staying in Storybrooke too.
Watching you watch that was better than watching the episode 😂😂 The cat bomb.. hilarious.. Neil, The baby.. 😂😂😂😂😂
All my ships.. Oh no.. Marian .. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Liam i love you 😍😍😍
Keep in mind this was made before Frozen 2 came out, so it's probably better if you haven't seen the sequel
I haven't luckily
For a minute I thought at the end your face was frozen.
🤣 Your reaction to Marian and Elsa
Lol Welcome to Outlaw Queen ruff seas! 🌊
That's how it's going to be from now on
11:41 I love how your jaw drops
I loved this finale. Lots of great twists for sure but my favorite part was Emma finding out that Killian traded his ship for her. That will always be one of my favorite moments between them.
If you go into the Frozen arc with an open mind you may be pleasantly surprised. It fits in more than you’d think and they’re cast perfectly. I only saw the movie once before this and thought the same as you and I love this arc on the show
i really like elsa story in once upon a time it can go darker than disney movie
I agree it was definitely better then expected. I remember when I saw the ending scene of this episode I was also like oh no but the way they do it in the show was really good
"THIS ISN'T FUCKING ELSA" All our exact same reaction about this reveal 😂😂
Best finale of the series! Don't be apprehensive about season 4. They blend Frozen along seamlessly with the classic Snow Queen fairytale. It's quite clever! I highly recommend watching the spinoff show though between season 3 and 4 to understand season 4 better. The main show will incorporate a character from the spinoff.
Tbh, the main show never took the time to do anything with the character from the spin-off. You don't HAVE to have seen the spin-off. None of the questions raised by the incorporation of the character will be answered either way.
@@joolaine I agree that it doesn't HAVE to be watched but I do recommend it. Otherwise, you are like who the heck is this person and you don't really understand the scenes between him and his former friend. I'm trying to speak vaguely so not to spoil haha also it helps understand the background of a season 6 villain and how that person became where they are (physically speaking) when arriving.
I laughed so hard when Rumple said ...what the hell am I doing here🤣🤣
Your cat is just a mood 😁🐈⬛🖤
When i saw the end, i was so mad! But it will all make sense. But for now you will be mad haha. Also can't wait for your next reaction.
Identity of Robin Hood's wife was known from s02e19 "Lacey", where the same actress appears.
Like for the cat jumping 😹
No, seriously: i loved your angry for "the marian thing"
My beloved Rumbelle finally get married. The newly minted OutlawQueen ship sets sail and immediately hits rocks. And Elsa is here to create Frozen!Storybrooke! ❤
We had the same reactions to so much of this. I love it!
A man after my own heart. I LOVED the Neverland arc but I understand many people didn't? I never comment on TH-cam videos but I'm seriously enjoying yours!
the cat ahahahahahahahaha
Yes... embrace the anger for Marian. It’s makes you stronger
He was seriously channelling Palpatine at points 😂😂
“This isn’t fucking Elsa” lol
Frozen is coming
" I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." IM YELLING (oh Anakin)
the first time i watched I recognized marian from her first scene and when Emma wanted to save her i was just yelling NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ahdfhdsfdghfsf I was so pissed too. But most people i saw watching OUAT didn't recognize her either cause she was there for a small scene, and I feel so bad every time this part arrrives.
It's interesting cause you seem to have similar tastes as I did when i first watched the show, I wasn't too thrilled about Frozen either (And I didn't like that storyline either when it happened) but I ended up loving season 5 so much (which some people don't, idk why) so...idk how far along you are in your watch but keep on being strong hahahaha
Yes that was Elsa
Yeah that was Elsa
I love your cat 😂
Next... I do for the most part like the scenes with Neal in the flashbacks even if I didn't care too much for his character and especially his love story with Emma. I really like the parallels from Emma's past and present bringing together parts of the storyline, since yes... Neal's lines about home being a place you just miss when you leave it... is exactly what Emma says to Hook in Snow Drifts.
We also get a few more past appearances throughout this episode like you mentioned, as we see Blue, Archie, Red, and Moe again. And yes... it's really quite nice to see each of them again. I especially love seeing Archie as he marries Belle and Gold. Yep... Belle and Rumple get married. Very sweet and beautiful. I really love Belle's line... "And sometimes the best cups are chipped." Their vows were beautiful and I love that there was a montage during them showing each of the True Love couples together. David and Mary Margaret while their holding one another with little Neal in his mother's arms while Belle talks about always finding Rumple like Snow and Charming always have, Regina and Robin walking down the street with Roland between them, and with Emma and Killian continuing to kiss outside of Granny's as Rumple talks about his past being dark until Belle brought light into his life much like Emma has done for Killian too. Absolutely beautiful. :)
Also... I absolutely love the scene between Hook and David by the campfire while they're waiting for Snow to return to help them break into the Evil Queen's castle. This is another of my absolute favorite scenes throughout this episode. I love any scene between David and Hook really, but this one is special for me because it helps to establish Killian and Emma as True Loves. First... it's sad how uncertain David is of his future with Abigail and how uncertain he is as to whether or not True Love exists. However, Hook helps him to believe that all it takes is finding the right person. And then... David asks Hook if he believes that Princess Leia... that Emma is his True Love. Sadly, Killian is uncertain by Emma's feelings for him, but again I love his line... "I'd go to the end of the world for her... or time." I also love that David talks about how his father... who is not really his father because he's talking about King George... is making trouble for him and Hook states he feels unsure that Emma's parents don't approve of him. David assures Hook that any father who knew how much Hook was doing for Emma would be a fool not to approve of him. I love that Hook then states... "I hope you remember that." Amazing! And yes... I truly hope that David will remember the lengths Killian has gone to save and protect Emma, as well as to remind her that she is in fact the Savior and is home.
And then... trouble of course ensues and Snow is nearly killed by a fireball fired by Regina as she nearly executes Snow. Luckily, Snow was clever enough to save just enough of the dark fairy dust to turn herself into a ladybug just at the right moment to save herself and to fake her death. It's such a great scene and I love how Killian's there to comfort Emma as she's forced to watch her mother supposedly become burned at the stake. And then he's there for Emma again afterwards in the forest when Killian talks to Emma about how he felt upon losing his brother. That his pain consumed him, while he pleads with Emma not to let her own pain do the same to her. Such a sweet, tender moment between them.
I also deeply love how Killian continues to convince Emma that her home is in Storybrooke with her family and all those who love her throughout these episodes, especially during the scene within Rumple's vault in his castle. Emma is so stubborn, I was almost afraid she'd never come to see that she truly belonged in Storybrooke. However, I love that Killian never gave up trying to convince her as such. And I love that Emma finally comes to this realization at last as well, after everything she's been through on this time travel adventure with Killian and her parents. Killian and Emma are absolutely meant to be. :)
And as always... Rumple is of course amazing in his past form as Rumplestiltskin once again. I love how he smugly, almost mockingly tells Emma and Hook that there's no way to send them home without Emma being able to wield her magic, then poofs them down inside his own dark vault. I also love his reappearance when Emma finally succeeds in reopening the portal, as Rumple nearly stops Emma from getting back home as he pleads with her to know about what happens to his son. I love how Emma pleads with Rumple to take the forgetting potion in order to make sure everything happens as it's meant to. The pain in her eyes is so heartbreaking. Once again... brilliant acting by Jennifer Morrison. And then... Rumple lets her go as he takes the forgetting potion, bends down to pick up the wand Emma dropped as she fell through the portal, then he states... "What the hell am I doing in here!" I love it! So Rumple. :)
I love every bit of this finale because it's so centric around bringing Emma and Killian together, as well as helping Emma find her home at last. I love how much Killian was there for her and that Emma called him a hero in the end just before they share their kiss that is so much deeper than the kiss they share in Neverland. Because this time, Emma truly has come to care for Killian in return, and Killian has already come to love her so much more than Emma truly knows. And yes... the themes and parallels throughout these two episodes are beautiful and just perfect. Thank you again, so much for this reaction!!! I absolutely love watching it again with you, and I'm thrilled that you loved it too!! :)
I can't wait for season four to begin!!! Has Elsa come to Storybrooke? You'll have to wait and see. I promise you that all that comes works really well. Season four is just as phenomenal as season three, if not more so. I absolutely love all that's to come for our beloved characters!! And what a great way to end this season finale! Season four is so good and I can't wait to see your reactions for every episode to come!! Until your reaction for season four's opening episode... Thank you, thank you!!!
👑
I really dont understand what everyone loved about Pan...the only thing he did is underestimate everyones powers...remember in episode 9 how regina ripped his heart out.. that was so easy for her. He really isnt that powerfull as they wrote him. And also they never really explained what made him so strong...maybe it was the shadow?..idk...With Zelena they did a wonderfull job. She really scared the shit out of me..and she actually had succeed with her plan...unlike Pan...The whole neverland arc eas exhausting...I only liked Rumple/Regina/Snowing development...but overall the 2nd half was great. I Think maybe ever the best of all the series. :)
11:55 lol... Exactly the same expression I had when I saw that ending a couple of years ago. This was a great season finale and a mouth opener for the next. Rumbelle finally married; but starting a marriage with lies in between it will be a bad omen; Come on Rumple why you're like that!!. and Emma ruined Regina's happy ending,... too bad.
Please continue watching the serie!!, the next one is so... you have to watch it😭. Loving all yours video reactions.
It's interesting. Since you've only seen Frozen once, you're not as sick of it as everyone who was saturated with it for like 5 years.
At least you thought it was okay, so it'll all work out. They do a pretty good job with the characters next season.
When this episode aired though Frozen had only been out like 6 months which is what made it so wild.
I was the same way, not knowing how I felt about Elsa being in this.
It's kk idk who elsa is, never seen frozen, and I just finished season 3 today
My favorite story of the serie Elsa 🤩😍
Ok gonna call it. You look like a combination of Hook and Robin. Kinda. Add the accent and all your musical references and I have a complex! LOL. No worries just having fun over here.
While it is easy to not blame anyone in the new triangle, it is a little bit harder to not put some blame on the person who was warned about messing with the past after watching what she went through trying to fix her accidental messing with her parents past. Oh Emma.☹👎
Good reaction for the last scene.
In your recap... you immediately correctly point out an element of emotion Robin should feel after ALL that and I was 100% right there with you when this originally aired but I have to tell you (of what I remember) there is not an ounce of that specific recognition from him at all and to this day it bothers me so fucking much. You like Regina a little more than I do, to be fair... I liked her much more as a character in the early seasons - THIS, the consequence of Marian showing back up and how she handles it, REALLY soured me to Regina. And in my opinion, the writers NEVER recovered her full potential to be redeemed (for me!) based on how she reacts to the people around her for something that she had done to begin with. I feel like that might be an unpopular opinion, so hopefully it isn't as irritating for you... especially seeing as how you seem to really enjoy Emma and Regina NOT being enemies and being fairly respectful of each other.
But this season finale is the best of the series. Their finales always tend to be pretty great but, especially with S3 as a whole likely being their strongest, this one in particular (3x21&3x22 together) knocked it out of the park for me. Also, your reaction to Emma/Hook outside the diner was great! (they're my favorites)
(I hope this isn't considered "spoilers"... I've tried to be as vague as possible... I just - uggh - have so many issues with the series from here on out and I just needed to say my piece about it once and be done lmfao)
I agree with you about Regina, I liked her in the first couple seasons but S3 is where a lot of problems with her character started for me: 3A - Calling Emma's sheriff election a "sham" when she became mayor because of a magical dark curse (pretty sure that's not a regular election). My first big problem with her character came in 3x09 when she literaly said she had no regret for all the evil things she did because she got something good out of it in the end with Henry. So all the families she separated, villages she's burned doesn't matter because she has Henry now. Then getting mad at Emma for saving a woman Regina herself killed and we should feel sorry for her because it just happened to be the wife of her boyfriend she's had for a little while.
@@Disney15ish Yes, all of this! Thankful to not be alone in that feeling. (the series finale of this show really let me down but spoilers lol)
I think you will like the season 4
I really dislike this ending! Rumpel lying to Belle.. I didn't remember the actress playing Marian, but I guessed who she was. I was really not thrilled of Regina possibly becoming evil again and the appearance of Elsa in the end killed my wish to watch the 4th season.
I lowkey hated emma for bringing back robin ex wife
But she didn't knew who she was until they return to Storybrook
@@federicao4609 but still she was meant to die emma should have never changed the past
@@jirograndison1766 true
Congratulation! You have reached the top of the show! From here to the end, it's only a way down, being more messed up season by season, so you have seen the best ones.
Seasons 4 and 5A are awesome. Season 6 and 7 are also great. S5B has some issues but the show in general is consistent
@@ryugalaw I don't feel the same, but maybe it's just because I really love seasons 1, 2 and 3 (specially 3A, with Peter Pan). After that, it starts to present a lot of incongruences and repetitive situations and dramas. But it's great that you like them.
I dont agree season 4 is defnitely the best season of the bunch with season 1 in second and season 3 in third and season 6 was just as good as the earlier seasons almost every episode of season tied back to season 1 giving you that full circle moment over and over again
