Favorite Male Character

This is tough, because most of my favourites are all the female characters in this fandom (which is not to say I don't like the men). I think, given the unevenness of his character arc, it's probably not Rumple, even if Robert Carlyle would win if it were for acting. So, Hook. I enjoyed his overall arc, it works, he's good entertainment value because of never being cursed and not getting any real world technology. (I can also tell I like him more than you do, because I consistently enjoyed every Hook backstory episode more than you did, even if few of them were on the outstanding list.)

Favorite Female Character

I think everybody round here knows I'd be lying if I tried to claim it wasn't Regina. I mean, right at the start, it was probably Snow and I didn't even like Regina, but ever since the end of S1, I have been predictably bowled over by Regina and Lana Parrilla all the time.


Least Favorite Character

Neil! I really enjoyed his death and then felt bad about it. But, you know, his time had come. :lol:


Favorite Ship

The Jolly Roger. Oh, okay, um... Probably Emma/Hook, but to be honest, I'm more in this for all the ships in the category below + the many (many) familial ships, including the surprise familial ships that started off apparently unrelated.

Non-canonically, Emma/Regina, but it isn't canon. Alas.

ETA: Oh, Robin/Alice, because they were seriously adorable; there is that.


Favorite Friendship

Emma & Regina! It's a close-run thing, though.

Favorite Quote

There are a lot of really good ones, but maybe: "The best way to show your love for those who are gone is to tell their story."

But also, on the more flippant side, Cruella's "There's an explanation... I'm a really terrible person!" and Regina's "I said to meet covertly - you brought the entire Charming softball team and their pirate mascot?"


Worst Character Death (if any)

All the ones in Underbrooke where their souls got destroyed. OUaT, that's terrible, what were you thinking?! Aunt Em, poor Milah! It's such an optimstic canon; that bit is still so weirdly bleak.


This made me so happy you have no idea Moment

This is a) fairy tale characters wandering around in Maine watching their own Disney films vs b) everytime we find out someone is secretly related to someone/Henry Mills's family tree vs c) Emma & Regina go on a road trip.

I think Emma & Regina two road trips just about win for me, though. Twice. I would have watched the whole series of that, or certainly, a lot more episodes about it than we got.

Saddest Moment

Even though it got reversed, maybe the end of 3a where they leave Emma & Henry without their memories in the real world and go back to the Enchanted Forest?


Favorite Location

Storybrooke! I still want to know who was setting up a heritage trail in the middle of world-ending events in a town that has no real heritage to speak of because its first 28 years were basically the same day over and over.

Well, I can understand that, I guess. I mean, I can't argue with the logic, even if I disagree with the conclusion. ;)

But Hook is a fine alternate choice, even if you liked him better than I did. And he grew on me a lot over the course of the show. I was really quite fond of him by the end.

I mean, right at the start, it was probably Snow and I didn't even like Regina,

Well, Regina was thoroughly unlikable at the start, and highly unlikely to be anybody's favorite character... which just makes her evolution all the more amazing, and where she ended up all the more impressive.

everytime we find out someone is secretly related to someone/Henry Mills's family tree

Ooh, yes, it's amazing to me how that never stopped delighting me, no matter how often it happened and how ridiculous it got.

Even though it got reversed, maybe the end of 3a where they leave Emma & Henry without their memories in the real world and go back to the Enchanted Forest?

That probably would have been my second choice.

I'm just laughing because you wrote this and yet we both listed Servalan as our favourite femlae B7 character and I don't think likeable was ever one of her best qualities.

[astrogirl]

Ha! Well, Regina also has style, but Servalan is one of a kind. :)

Thank goodness!!
