Sunday night’s (May 11) Season 3 finale was ridiculously good. It is arguably the best ‘Once Upon A Time’ finale so far in the series. “Snow Drifts” and “There Is No Place Like Home” delightfully exceeded my expectations because time-travel episodes can be hard to pull-off. I enjoyed every second of this magical two-hour time-traveling…

Once again, Sunday's (May 4) ‘Once Upon A Time’ delivered a loaded episode full of life-changing moments and epic showdowns. Flashbacks to Oz show how Zelena has always been an irrepressibly and wickedly envious witch. In present day Storybrooke, we see how Zelena’s inability to change results in her own undoing.

Is your mind still reeling from Sunday’s loaded episode, Oncers? “A Curious Thing” delivered a lot of surprising information and heartfelt emotion all at once.

I’m not going to lie, Oncers. Sunday’s “Bleeding Through” was a strange episode. Banshee Cora downloads her memories into Mary Margaret, Rumple tries seducing his way out of Zelena’s wicked clutches, Regina finally follows her heart, and Hook distressingly carries the weight of the world on his leather-clad shoulders. Meanwhile, Fairy Tale Land flashbacks reveal…

As expected, Oncers, “The Jolly Roger” joins my list as one of the best episodes this season. This Hook-centric storyline allowed Colin O’Donoghue to shine in a whole new light and proves once again that he is an extremely skilled and vital member of ‘Once Upon A Time’s’ talented ensemble. Magic tricks often succeed when…

Well, Oncers, now we know why Zelena is Storybrooke’s resident nut-job nemesis. Sunday’s “It’s Not Easy Being Green” revealed Zelena’s troubled past. We already know she felt slighted by Rumple when he chose to mentor Regina instead, but now we get a better understanding of why she obsessively hates them both. ‘Once Upon A Time’…

Wow, Oncers! I must admit, I really didn’t see that coming. I know that a series regular’s death was teased during ‘Once Upon A Time’s’ hiatus, but I kind of put that dreary thought on the back burner. Although it is always sad to see someone leave the ‘OUAT’ family, I have to give them…

Are you still doing your happy dance, Dearies? Last night’s “Witch Hunt” delivered a lot of laughs, a couple of (somewhat predictable) twists, and a sweet dose of teamwork. Jane Espenson penned an episode full of funny one-liners and major feels. In the Fairy Tale Land past, Regina confronts her castle crasher and meets a…

‘Once Upon A Time’ is on a roll this season! “New York City Serenade” sets the stage for the back end of Season 3 and let’s just say this caboose is full of fun surprises. This fantastic and fulfilling episode travels between the past and present as we see what happened when our fairytale heroes…

Have you dried your tears yet, Oncers? ‘Once Upon A Time’ served up a gut-wrenching winter finale. In “Going Home,” we finally witnessed the ultimate showdown between Peter Pan and Rumple. Although it was epic, it definitely did not turn out the way we hoped. As if that wasn’t bad enough, ‘OUAT’ worked overtime tugging…
