Once Upon a Time

I was planning on talking about Black Clover, but that's moving so freaking slow, it's going to have to wait until there is something worth writing about. In the meantime, I'm going to give an update on Once Upon a Time.

The series attempted a reboot, which was a good idea, but perhaps they should have taken a cue from fellow fairy tale show Grimm and went out a high note. After years of establishing the complicated family tree of Henry Mills, they decided to send him off to an alternate fairy tale world where he falls in love with a Spanish Cinderella and another round of the Dark Curse moves the new cast to a suburb of Seattle. The problem is trying to keep track of all of the new characters and old ones and how they work with the third iteration of the curse.

Henry and Regina are back, along with Regina's sister Zelena, who has a now grown daughter named Robin who has fallen in love with Alice from Wonderland, who is the daughter of Captain Hook from an alternate world and Mother Goethel who entrapped Rapunzel who is also Lady Tremaine the mother of Druzella and stepmother of Cinderella bringing everyone except Tiana and Jack into one tangled family tree. The problem is, alternate Hook is supposed to be from a world that exists because of a wish that just happened last season, and yet he is tied to a history that goes back to when the fist curse was cast, not to mention we already covered Cinderella, Tremaine, and Druzella in two episodes back in Storybrooke and Rapunzel in another, which means we are crossing a lot of wires here. Oh and also they've added new rules to the curse yet again. This show has been entertaining, but they are struggling to hold this version together and they need to wrap this up and end the series with this season.
