Summary

For our full discussion of the winter finale, Swan Song, we chose a couple of scenes that stood out to us, including the battle against snuffing out the light. Why is the dagger still calling Emma when its other half had already been destroyed? Are there still darkness left inside of her? How did Regina knew that he was Hook's father to begin with? What happened to little Liam? We've also chosen to talk about baby Pistachio, Merida and the rest of the Camelot crew! Will their story continue on the second half of the season? And finally, we discussed what kind of men Rumplestiltskin and Hook really are, as well as the difference between the Underworld and Hell.
