Good might win, but evil is persistent. → December 3, 2012 Note: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
Good always defeats evil, but that doesn’t mean evil backs down without a fight. The winter finale of Once Upon a Time showed Hook and Cora’s past, revealed Emma’s power, reunited everyone, and had a mostly happy ending. As an added bonus, important plot points were resolved before the month long break, so fans weren’t left hanging.
Dark Matter Review: Although some of its runtime might be quite dense, there are moments in this sci-fi series that leaves you at the edge of your seat.
Down The Rabbit Hole Review: The movie has few, if any, moments that make you laugh, and it feels like it was rushing to its conclusion.
Beautiful Rebel Review: Biography on Gianna Nannini's life is a hit and a miss.
This was a good mid season finale. I enjoyed watching it and it had some good points and some bad ones too. I'm getting a little tired of waiting for them to get rid of the old witch but I guess it wouldn't be a show without the bad witch to keep causing trouble.
