Wow.
That was not what I expected. It was very satisfying, though.

Here are some promos that have been showing as commercials on other ABC shows. These aren’t as spoilery as the sneak peeks, so they should be safe for anyone who wants to remain mostly (though not 100 percent) spoiler free:
45-second promo:
Extended promo:
There was little doubt that the show, which has been a huge hit for the network, was going to come back next year — but now it’s official.
Here’s Ginnifer Goodwin (Snow White/Mary Margaret) with a little message for fans:
During the east coast broadcast of the Once Upon a Time finale, Josh Dallas (Prince Charming, David) will be joining Entertainment Weekly’s Sandra Gonazlez for a chat. You can ask Josh questions as he watches the episode live.
That’s starting at 8:00 Eastern Time (5:00 Pacific Time) on Sunday, May 13. It’s going to be here: Josh Dallas chat.
(Hat tip, again, to David for the info. Not Josh Dallas’s David — the other one, the one who reads this blog.)
I’m not watching these myself (I’m still in the mood to be as unspoiled as possible), but here are the links for those of you want to see them. (Hat tip to blog-reader David.) –>
Two sneak peeks and another sneak peek.
I’m taking a few steps back in time to start catching up on the recaps that I missed. The Return was the first episode after the spring hiatus. It was a three-point return: the return of the show from its break, the return of Mary Margaret to her normal life after being released from jail, and (for a few moments) the seeming return of Baelfire to his father.

On Wednesday, Once Upon a Time creators/executive producers/writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz had a Facebook chat about the show. They showed a clip from the finale and answered questions from fans.
Some of the questions they answered (very slight spoilers): Continue reading
Ginnifer Goodwin on Good Morning America
Ginnifer Goodwin was on GMA this morning (May 10, 2012) to tease the finale.
She said, “You will be shocked. You will throw things at the television. You will not believe it…. You will not believe where we are taking the show in the finale. It was shocking to all of us.”
You can watch the interview on the ABC site — the segment starts at 1:00.00.
Last night, Ginnifer Goodwin was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala in New York, aka the “Oscars of the East,” where the stars come to show off outfits that are high-fashion, beautiful, breathtaking, or bizarre (some of the outfits are all of those things at once).
Ginnifer came as the guest of fashion designer Monique Lhuilier and is wearing one of the designer’s dresses in the photo to your left, which I swiped from the Daily News.
Editing to add: I just saw it. Initial thoughts:
The episode was all about sacrifice — including Henry’s surprising self-sacrifice at the end. I don’t think he will die, though. I don’t think the show would go that dark — plus the show needs him as the SB connection between Regina and Emma.
Loved the interaction between Mr. Gold and Regina. They have such wonderfully malevolent chemistry between them.
I wonder where Mr. Gold is planning to go on his out-of-town trip.
Did Grumpy really say to Red, “You have someone on your chin”?
Did anyone else expect Regina to tell Mr. Gold, while she was in his shop, that she had Belle?
Things I wonder if we’re going to see next week: A hint about who Bae is now. Whether Mr. Gold will demand the deal with Emma that she had previously promised him. Whether we will see Emma believing in the curse without reservation. Whether Graham and/or Belle will reappear.
Before she was Belle on Once Upon a Time, Emilie de Ravin became a star playing Claire on LOST.
Now Claire and her squirrel baby are immortalized as a bobblehead:
