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.

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…
