I'm not too sold on the Evil Queen plotline though, it's really oversimplified Regina's character to a point that she is no longer interesting. Regina is the Evil Queen, it's not a split personality, I liked her a lot in the first episode when she was talking about the struggle of good and evil within her and how being good has done her no favours but she can't go back either. That was more compelling than forcing the whole Jekyll-Hyde situation on her. Regina as a character is not compelling when she's completely on the side of good. she needs to be a shade of grey which is probably why Zelena is a season regular now because she's gonna fill that role while they transform Regina into Snow White 2.0.

I'm hoping they do more with the whole 'Magic is everywhere' business too. It's a bit silly that Hyde would be so preoccupied with Storybrooke when he could potentially go anywhere since magic exists everywhere. I also thought the whole scene when he was all 'I brought some friends' and we didn't see anything was particularly silly. ALSO WY DO THEY KEEP LETTING THE VILLAINS WALK AWAY AFTER ANNOUNCING THEIR INTENT?!
'I'm gonna turn Storybrook into my own asylum and you are all going to suffer horribly, CIAO!'

Talking about silly, I couldn't get over that Zelena and Roland scene.
'Hi, I'm Zelena. Over the last few months I've terrorised you and your loved ones, tried to kill everyone multiple times, killed your mother and then impersonated her which probably traumatised you and then my bae killed your dad and now I'm sending you off back where you came as you no longer serve a purpose to the overall storyline. Oh yeah, let's not forget about the time I raped your dad either! Give me a hug!'

That being said though, good episode

I thought the same about Zelena and Roland.

I've been looking forward to Sam Witwer and Hank Harris' introduction since they were announced back in March, I've been really intrigued about who they'd be (I thought maybe the Brothers Grimm at first until A & E said they're not Authors). After that I assumed they'd be Jekyll and Hyde since that has been heavily theorized so I can't say I was surprised but I like it.

The "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" reference was cool too. Apparently the protagonist of that is called Hank Morgan so that was a nice touch.

It wasn't my favourite finale ever but I did like it. And while I really like the Jekyll and Hyde stuff, I can't help but feel like Season 6 might be the final season and there are other elements already in the story that I want them to develop further (meeting the Black Fairy and getting some history on the Blue Fairy mainly, and since I like the "evil Blue Fairy" theories they could always make them one person ).
