Once Upon a Time Season 2 Finale Review: Epic Good-and-Evil Truce for Storybrooke, The Evil Queen is the New Savior! [PHOTOS]
Once Upon a Time Season 2 finale Part 2 answered some questions left in the first part, only to leave more questions to keep the viewers hooked up to OUAT Season 3. Good and evil uniting for an epic cause happens a lot in OUAT, but moreso now that they know they're one big family, thanks to Emma, Henry and Baelfire.
Spoiler Alert: This review contains spoilers for those who have not seen Once Upon a Time Season 2 Finale, "And Straight On Til Morning." Read at your own risk.
OUAT, From Emma Swan to Regina Miller: The Storybrooke 'Saviors'
A year ago in Once Upon a Time, Snow White's daughter Emma Swan was the savior. Her 'true love's kiss' broke the cast that the Evil Queen aka Regina Miller cast on the fairy tale characters and Storybrooke. Once Upon a Time makes a 360, and now the savior is Miller herself. But not without Emma's help.
You can always count on OUAT writers to twist the classic fairy tales into a modern day family drama. Sometimes, they're even funny. (Rumplestiltskin being Henry's grandpa is amusing, don't you think?)
Regina redeems herself yet again in an effort to stop Greg and Tamara from destroying Storybrooke and eliminating the Enchanted Forest characters. The Evil Queen's life would have ended in her act of heroism, if Emma had not shared her own Harry Potter-like true-love-borne magic.
Neverland: The Lost Boys and Finding Henry
Greg and Tamara clearly has another big mission other than finding Greg's father. It is revealed that they want Henry to be sent off to Peter Pan's Neverland. But why? His parents are about to find out as they sail away to follow the child to another world.
Another note on being funny - here comes Captain Hook to save the day. Emma and her family are all upset about losing the magic beans, but an unlikely help comes in. Not only is Hook helping Henry in a way, but he also helped his father, too, in the past. As revealed in the OUAT 2 Finale Part 1, Captain Hook saved Baelfire from drowning.
Now one of the questions is: Why does Neverland's Peter Pan want Henry? In connection to that, could Greg and Tamara be working for The Lost Boys' big boss Peter Pan?
Once Upon a Time Finale Part 2: Baelfire Comes Back Home!
After being sucked down by a vortex to another world, Baelfire is rescued by characters very familiar to the Once Upon a Time viewers: Mulan, Aurora and Prince Philip. That is definitely going to be an interesting more-on-that-later story. Now the viewers know Baelfire is not Peter Pan. But they do have a strong connection.
Come OUAT Season 3, stories will be set in the Enchanted Forest, Storybrooke, and Neverland!
