Summary

Why did they just give up and went to Granny's and ate because they realized there's nothing they can really do? If they're going to the Underworld, will they bring some more back, like Graham, Neal, and a lot of other great characters that we've lost on the show that have died? Now that Rumplestiltskin is the Dark One again, can he even be defeated? What happens to the ones that were left in Storybrooke? Join our initial review of the winter finale, Swan Song, and hear us rant about Hook and Emma's swan song, Rumplestiltskin's deception, and everyone else coming at Granny's to come say goodbye after learning that this is a fight they cannot win.
