A very poor season finale by Netflix yet again. A few questions get answered, and a few doubts cleared up, but it's not really a finale; too much stuff was left unanswered, and all they did was pave the road for further mystery (and I wouldn't be surprised if S2 did the same thing).
Kinda sad TBH, the series was moving forward really well, but S1 finishes in just a non-ending.
The ending was simply superbly done.
The ominous music while you realize that it's all going down. Breathtaking!
The acress that plays Snow as a child is by far one of the worst actresses I've seen my entire life.
Go for the 70 minute extended cut if you can. Though it's a bit of a pain to find, there's a pretty big difference. I've no idea why this isn't a two-part episode.
