Once Upon a Time 4.12



On Once, the Snow Queen may be gone but her magic remains, keeping everyone trapped in Storybrooke . When Elsa learns of Hans’ invasion of Arendale, it becomes all the more important for her and Anna to get back home as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Rumple runs around the town with Hook, trying to put the final touches to his evil plan until he is thwarted by the least likely person of all. And Robin may have chosen Regina, but fate intervenes and Regina is once again forced to live with an unhappy ending. And we are introduced to a set of nasty new villains in a slightly confusing flashback featuring Rumple and Belle.


I enjoyed this half of the season, although I have to admit that with all the hype and promise, the actual show rather fell short of expectations. Anna was marvelously cast and acted, but Kristoff, Hans, Elsa and especially Oaken were all so poorly played. It was a let-down and I’m not entirely sure how exciting the next half is looking so far. Plus, my favorite character didn’t get her happy ending!
