Every time she manages to commit to a TV show without getting bored, an angel gets its wings. When she's not writing, you can find her trying to learn a new language, watching hockey go Avs! Breakfast food is life and coffee is what makes the world go round. It was great. By Adrienne Tyler Published May 15, Share Share Tweet Email 0. At least Emma had some edge to her, given her real-world background.
It's telling that the moments where season seven has been at its most entertaining have been when it focused on the established characters of Regina Lana Parrilla , Rumple and Zelena Rebecca Mader. They've consistently been the show's best performers, fully aware of the type of show they're in, but they're also characters we've built up a connection to over the seasons. The show's tried to make us care about the new characters and, given time, maybe we would have.
However, since it's been cancelled, it makes all the work and time spent on this aspect a bit pointless. Season seven needed to be bolder and make it a clean break from everything that's come before, because comparisons to the established characters who have stuck around do the new lot no favours. But it seems that Once Upon a Time can't let go of the past, as a recent episode delivered the twist that this season's curse didn't just send Regina, adult Henry, Rumple and co to Hyperion Heights, but actually back in time, too.
So everything in the present day has been taking place at the same time as just after the season six finale, meaning Emma, Hook, young Henry and co are still in Storybrooke as we speak. It's a neat solution that explains why the original characters haven't just turned up and saved Henry when he's been in trouble this season, but it only adds to the complicated timeline of the show, something that even the show itself has been mocking recently.
Given that fans are used to the show's dual timelines, it's not a great sign when even they're wondering what the hell is going on. The twist, good though it is, needed to come earlier in season seven so that everyone watching knew exactly where — and, importantly, when — everything fitted.
