Title: The Once Upon a Time Discussion thread *Spoilers*
Post by: mlp4me on June 13, 2012, 04:53:11 PM
Welcome to the Official OUAT thread on the arena!


Warning as things progress there are spoilers (especially in the 40's pages for Season 3).


Ok, I know there are some of us that just LOVE Once Upon a Time/OUAT.  :) ;)
Let's discuss, ask random questions and post some pics!


Who else is having withdrawl symptoms since season 1 is done? :wacko:

Yeah, I was sad that they killed off the Huntsman  :bawl: (he was my favorite character), but I still kept watching, it is a good show. In fact, this is the first "new" show that I have watched in 15 years!

What's the theory for what's going to happen in season 2?

We started watching it, but it's time slot is bad for us and we kept forgetting to watch it.

If you ever did want to go back to watching it abc.com has select episodes available online to view. Next season you could watch Sunday's episode on Monday. :o)

Post by: teresat on June 13, 2012, 05:11:01 PM
Hulu/Plus has it too.

Why oh why was he killed? I must bemoan his awful demise over and over again. I do like seeing him in your avi and sig @mlp4me: :D
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: mlp4me on June 13, 2012, 05:24:45 PM
Thanks teresat. I decided I have a big enough 'crush' on him right now that I needed a change from my usual avie/siggy combo-lol. Glad Jamie gets some love!


I have to say, it's quite sad, he had NO happy ending in either life. It's nice to watch to at least see if they have flashbacks with him. Now it's a waiting game to see if they decide to bring him back from the dead or not-with having magic back. (I'm feeling pesimistic, so probably not.) It's amazing how many people like his character.

August 28th Season 1 will be on DVD.

Sooo amped for season two!  That was quite a shock at the very last minute if I do say so meself... xD.  Loved seeing Emma's emotional journey through the last episode as well.  Maybe Mr. Gould will be the new main villain?

Yeah, I think Gold will come out of the shadows (and will be searching for Bey too). But Regina can totally do MORE evil... It will be interesting...

I began watching it, and thought it was great, but was a bit bored after a while. I watched one episode after the huntsman had gone and then I quit. I liked the huntsman and was sad to see him go, but it gave me a reason to quit watching the series.

Post by: Maniah on June 14, 2012, 12:23:25 AM
SO much love for this show! <3

Im really looking forward to seeing where the story is going with Mr. Gold. he is my favorite actor in that entire show. Im not saying he is my favorite character, but just that the actor is doing a GREAT job with him and seems to be really skilled. His scenes just really shine.

Come season two, I will be interested to see what happens to the rest of the world now that magic has been released into it. Will it stay within Storybrook? Will it seep out into the entire world? Will normal folk begin to use magic? Will magical critters start showing up?

I just want the show to come back!

Post by: aero_oceana on June 14, 2012, 08:50:32 AM
I also am a big fan of this show! I'd have to say my favorite character is Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin as well. The actor must have so much fun with his part!

Definitely looking forward to season 2. Was great to see Rumpelstiltskin and Belle reunited and I'm looking forward to seeing where that goes for sure!

This sounds like a show I would watch. The only bad thing is we lake cable, Netflixs or decent internet. I'm addicted to the walking dead. A family member taped it for me this season since i lack the net. I was crushed since the tapes messed up. I would feel bad starting a new show now. I would never see it. :cry:

Post by: mlp4me on June 14, 2012, 11:37:38 AM
You might like it madhatterda... The good thing is this show is on regular broadcast tv, ABC, so if you've got antenna you may be able to watch! Downside, no re-runs for the summer, not sure what's taking its slot until the fall...

We tried to set up where we could get local channels, but sadly we live so far out nothing. My mom says it's a miracle we've lasted so long without any sort of television or proper internet. I plan to try and get us something by the end of the month though. I'll look into it then or maybe buying the season. Hastings seems to have good deals...I just know I'm missing out on so many shows like my Trueblood and Walking Dead among others people keep telling me to watch. :cloud:

Post by: mlp4me on June 15, 2012, 06:23:25 AM
I haven't had cable since 2006. I consider us lucky that we pick up about 8 digital channels over the air (depending on the day). I still have to wander around the bedroom if I'm watching tv to try to get reception... lol. My husband dreads Sunday night (it's the only time I actually watch regular tv) and I get very angry when I lose reception...

Good luck with the net, at least there's government funding somewhere that's getting it out into the boonies. :o)
I too hear a lot of praise about the walking dead and trueblood from people I talk to...

Just found this!

I'm excited for Season 2, and really want the Huntsman to return! What a neat character. I still can't get over the fact that they killed him off so soon. ; ; bah!

The season 1 DVDs are coming out soon whoooo!

So anyone hear anything at all about the new season? any spoiler images surface yet?

I kind of forgot about it since I do not like the pain of waiting :3

Post by: StoryDreamer on August 05, 2012, 07:55:44 AM
I've been discussing this and I re-read the story of Rumpelstilskin and we know that Mr. Gold took Emma's baby (Henry) for Regina/Queen. And I wonder if he had some hold over her too with her unable to have a child?

Before the story of Snow and the Queen aired, I thought Snow White betrayed her by telling her father the queen couldn't have children. There's a whole thread of maternal issues running through this.

Also I commissioned my Queen pony! Now just waiting to see if she'll accept it.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: TrixieStix on August 06, 2012, 06:39:57 PM
I thought that as part of the curse the Queen wasn't going to be able to have children because I thought she'd have to give up that, but it ended up being her dad....so maybe there is another part of the curse!!

Do we know the starting air date? I cannot wait!

Also you must post pictures of the Queen Pony if it gets cleared and when it arrives! That's a neat idea!

It does so I should start watching an hour earlier?  I  usually record it on DVR then watch it on Monday morning and fast forward through the commercials.

Looks like this season is going to be interesting...
I haven't read many spoilers, have we figured out who Dr. Whale really is?

I'm going to ponder a guess that there will not be many if any "flash backs" to how fairy tale land was before the curse.

Any other guesses?
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: StoryDreamer on September 30, 2012, 06:54:38 PM
I've read a ton of spoilers! And interviews with the cast and crew.

We will get to see the characters in three time periods. In FTL, before Emma came to Storybrooke and after Emma.

Nobody knows who Dr. Whale is. My guess is the king that used Charming as his son maybe? Or Dr. Frankenstein. David Anders who plays him has tweeted that nobody has guessed who he is yet.

Dr. Whale's identity will be revealed in ep 5...

I'm just not net savvy enough to dig up good spoilers. Got any good sites to share (that maybe have current updates)? I'd really appreciate it.
 
I haven't have a lot of time lately to even finish re-watching season 1. I'm up to episode 7; that is after watching 'the heart is a lonely hunter' 3x... lol, yeah.

Yes!

is pretty good.

Rachel Shelley has joined the cast as Milha, a woman who is bored of being a wife and mother. People think she's Rumple's wife.

I'm betting that Dr. Whale is from the same kingdom as Aurora, Phillip, and Mulan. As to who he is.. Dr. Frankenstein maybe? Im trying to think of doctor figures in stories and I can't think of many.

Some good points explained. They can't leave and there's a possibility of going back home. Poor Sneezy; he needs to go find the well and have a drink...
Nice to see the side of Regina that has just a little bit more heart...
Can't wait to see how her Mom interracts with Mary Margaret/Emma and the rest that remain...

So much to look forward to for next week! Let the countdown begin!

Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: Marigold on October 08, 2012, 02:43:05 PM
I think Cora is the girl who spins straw into gold with Rumple's help and almost has her daughter stolen from her as an infant but guesses his name right so Regina is not stolen.  But I am just guessing. 
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: TrixieStix on October 08, 2012, 02:49:45 PM
That's some good thinking for Cora, Peppie and Marigold!

It was a very neat episode all in all. I would like I see them go back to their world and I'm glad they told Geppetto about his son, but where'd he go?!  :drunk:

This is so exhilarating, whoop!

If you remember, spinning is something that Rumple used to do and something Gold does for a hobby. Im not convinced that Cora is the one who spun gold.

Rumple's wife left him before because he was such a timid, cowardly man. If Cora was his wife, then good chance that Regina is his daughter. Though she would have to be younger than his son.. What was his name? Bay?

Cora is a millers daughter. Regina is the baby he wanted to take. I believe he did for a period of time.  Cora made a "lot" of deals.

I really don't think he is Rumple's father. At all.

If this is the case, that means Cora was also good at one point in her history.  The millers daughter in the story is a good person who gets a fairytale ending.  I see a lot of this theme in OUAT.  Most of the evil characters have good within them.  The only truly evil ones either haven't had their story told in depth or they are things like wraiths.

Jefferson is back! Though his hat is a bit squashed,poor hat.
And Regina, she's on the good side; rather she's not as bad as I thought she was. Anyone notice the apples on the tree changed color? Maybe there posioned now.

I am excited to find this thread! For the Sheriff Graham fans, I think the reason he was killed is that Jamie Dornan is doing a show called "The Fall" with Gillian Anderson (Scully from X-Files) where he plays a serial killer. I saw Gillian Anderson do a panel at Dragon*Con and she was talking about it there.

I am not sure how I feel about this season so far. I'm not quite as into it as last season. I think the key to Dr. Whale is his name... Not the doctor part but the whale. Like Ruby=Red Riding Hood, Mr. Gold=Rumpelstiltskin, Regina means queen, etc. Maybe he's Moby-Dick, lol.

There was a fan theory that Cora was the Queen of Hearts and I have to say disappearing into a mirror convinced my husband, but then the ending... Well, Jefferson ended up in Storybrooke so anything is possible I suppose.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: StoryDreamer on October 10, 2012, 01:23:51 PM
Cora is so the queen of hearts!  Regina says the queen of hearts isn't subtle and someone else says that about her. Then the book of spells has a heart on it. Also she's very familiar with wonderland AND the looking glass took Cora to a "small annoying world." 

(Sorry guys, I just... this is my fandom...LOL)
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: Marigold on October 10, 2012, 01:47:46 PM
I think she is the Queen of Hearts too.  Somehow she is now in the Enchanted Forest again, but that doesn't mean she wasn't in Wonderland for a long time before that.

I really love this show, but just don't have very good plot guesses. I love reading what others post!!


I remember reading somewhere that Dornan knew his stay on the show was not going to be long. Much of his time on OUAT was in late 2011. I believe his knowledge of this was even before he started his new show on BBC2 in 2012... a channel which I wish I had access to....

Meghan Ory who plays Red was also fliming episodes of True Justice during season 1 of OUAT. Busy gal!

I too think Dr. Whale has something to do with Moby-Dick. However I was thinking Capt. Ahab not the whale......but anything is possible!

I had NOT thought of Cora being the queen of Hearts, but it so fits!

I too love having a discussion thread about the show. To me it make the show much more fun.

My guesses have been somewhat right so far. I had no clue that August was Pinocchio but I knew that Sheriff Graham was The Hunstman.

Is anyone else obsessed with the little details? Like in the pilot, Emma blows out a star candle "When you wish upon a star..." Belle chips a cup, like Chip in the movie... It's so fun!

Yes! Little details are the bestest, and I loved the Chip in the cup ;)
Is Emma Swan the swan princess? So silly...but I LOVE LOVE the swan stories. It seems a bit obvious and silly saying it though!

Cora as the queen of hearts is what I originally associated her with, since she collected them and all..... and the Sheriff as huntsman= YES....is he coming back only in flashbacks(or at all anymore..)...since he's dead? This will make me terribly sad if he doesn't show his face ;-;

I should check out your show StoryDreamer, I'm sure it's great fun!
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: Marigold on October 11, 2012, 07:02:47 PM
The name Cora (which I just looked up) means "maiden" which might also lend itself to being the Millar's daughter since she never had a name in the story.

I've also wondered if Emma would become the swan princess ( ala Odette and Swan Lake not the story of the seven swans because she has no brothers and her mom has not been replaced by a stepmother queen).
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: mlp4me on October 12, 2012, 07:55:39 AM
Pretty sure the Huntsman is out unless there will be flashbacks.

His character was rather limited in exposure to others especially after Regina condemned him to her castle. The one thing that he never wanted was to be caged and that's exactly what she did to him.

There's one story line left open for him that I'd like to know, where or how did he meet his wolf? One red eye and one black eye, what's the deal with that?

I always figured Swan was just a way to connect her to Snow and Charming, since swans are white and graceful... But I have seen a lot of people saying she might be the swan princess. It could even be that Regina does something like use her knowledge of our world and stories and is all like "Oh yeah well here SWAN princess" and turns her.

I missed the season one finale as my PVR said it recorded but it was all black and soundless... luckily they replayed it so I'm caught up to the end of season one.

Thouries for next season well since Emma did all the work this season I'm thinknig something may happen to her.

I agree with everyone who felt like this week's episode was lacking/weird. I love Ginnifer Goodwin (Snow) so it was weird not to have Snow and Emma. I'm guessing that they're kind of stalling since there's not much left in the story world so they have limited options/places?

As much as I like learning back stories, I thought it was too Rumple-heavy... and Beauty and the Beast is my FAVORITE Disney movie, with Peter Pan quite close behind, but still.

I think someone mentioned seeing a preview that showed Dr. Frankenstein. Im confused now too >.<

I actually loved that this episode was focused on Rumple. He is by far my favorite character. He really has a LOT going on and every time I learn more, I love the character more and more!

I don't feel like they are stalling.. It's just that they split everyone up and they have a lot of story to show for everyone so they are needing to focus on one point at a time. If they tried to give you a little bit of everyone each episode, you would really get NOTHING accomplished in the way of storytelling, just like in a soap opera. Blegh!

I don't think it is stalling, I think we just need longer episodes to see everything!  I really want to know everything now!  Last season I didn't watch everything until I had the whole season saved and I got to see it all in a couple of sittings.  This year I just can't wait!

His brother is dead... I'd like to know your theory. My guess is his brother is the 'Frankenstein monster,' for the sake of converstaion we'll call him Mert.

I agree Sumire, it's such a distinguishable change between good and bad Regina especially vocally (even the way she presents herself, stature, facial expressions)...

I am thinking Dainel isn't he considered dead? No wait. Whale said he gave Regina what she wanted in hopes that she would help him. Oh I don't know, you are probably on to something more than I am.  :biggrin:

I sill think Rumple is Regina's father and she doesn't know it.

Thanks Peppie, he's starting to feel better. Fevers off and on all week but he's starting to get better now, a really bad cold made it's way through the local play-center. That time of year I guess.

Great episode! I love seeing more of Regina's back-story, it really makes you feel for her. And Daniel going all Dr Jeckle/Mr Hyde on her... so sad. Also, love Emma's truth-telling thing, wish I had that! Although maybe not, for example: I wouldn't want to now if I were getting a false-compliment :P

Something I can't figure out. Why is Dr Whale called Dr Whale? What do Whale's have to do with Frankenstein? All the other names are related to their characters... or is it that he has another character(s) like Rumple/Beast/Crocodile, that we'll find out later? Such as your Oz theories, although that's not Whale related either... so curious!

So... this has been bugging me for awhile now. (I watched 'the heart is a lonley hunter' again last night... gah, I'm such a junkie...)

How is it that the Huntsman can read Snows note to Regina in FTL? Here's my logic, he was abandoned by his parents as a child (and or infant I can't remember exactly) and "raised" by wolves. Wolves can't teach (and it's quite a stretch to assume they can raise a human child). I understand there are some things that the writers let slip but that one bothers me.
I would assume that many of 'peasant class' characters depicted in FTL would not be literate there as well.
I dunno just my thought...

True, but still... He's very much a loner. The only time he's shown interracting with other characters in FTL (at a pub) and he kills a guy, LOL. (Plus the way he was berated by them makes you think he really has little or no human contact...)

Why is Dr Whale called Dr Whale? What do Whale's have to do with Frankenstein?

The general consensus is a rather convoluted connection.  The director of the 1931 Frankenstein movie was James Whale and it is considered to be "one of the most iconic horror films in movie history."

ohhhhhh... thanks!

mlp4me, I would guess that's a flaw as, even if FTL has an excellent education system for peasant children, he said he was raised by wolves and he didn't appear interact with people much. If he was raised by wolves, he'd also have language problems... perhaps he was accepted into the pack after the age of 7 or 8 and so he was raised by them, but already had developed language and reading skills?

I like the theory.
I think I'm peeved too that much of his back story was left out before he was killed off. I understand the mystery, but come on, logic! I re-watched; Regina just says he was abandoned by his parents to the wolves. So, for my sanity's sake we'll pretend his parents forced him to read the bible or something for childhood literacy. Can you tell I work in a school?
 
I just have to laugh that the writers assume that all can read/write in FTL when historically most people didn't read or write in medieval times-assuming that this is a close time frame they're referencing from. I can understand Nobility being educated...

(I also enjoyed the cgi gleefully leaping deer. Here I think they smile before they jump at your car just like that.)

Hehe, but it's a magical land!  :P

Happy Once day! I can't wait.. Emma-heavy episode tonight.

Also Jefferson is named for the Jefferson Airplane song, White Rabbit, about Alice in Wonderland, so it made sense that Dr. Whale was named for the director of the most widely known Frankenstein movies.

StoryDreamer, I never thought at all about Jefferson's name! Funny how Whale got me but not Jefferson, thanks for that bit of trivia!

What did everyone think?  Do you think Neal is Rumple's son?



Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: TrixieStix on November 06, 2012, 02:02:05 PM
I did actually think he was his son. I was playing with my niece and it was on in the background so I didn't realize until later that they never actually said so....(Rumple has a grandson in that case ;D )

I liked this episode and I really like Emma with her ponytail and glasses! XD Dolls please?

It was good fun...any suggestions on what was in the box? Wasn't rumple's knife I don't think....I would say a fairy...but there wasn't any glow. :)

I really am stumped XD

And hey she has a swan keychain....it's only a matter of time before she gets turned into a Swan!

Post by: zabe77 on November 06, 2012, 02:42:06 PM
Swan Princess is the one fairytale I don't know... I'll have to read-up!

I have NO idea what could possibly be in the box... I don't remember Pinocchio having anything with him when he went through... what could it possibly be? I think Rumple still had his knife at that point...
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: mlp4me on November 06, 2012, 03:45:31 PM
Yeah, I ponder...
If in fact Neal is Bay then I'd guess he was in his early 30's when he Met Emma (who was 17). My reasoning you ask? He had to have been 10-13? when he left for the 'real world.' Then count whatever lapse of years after he left for the 'real world' to when the curse was enacted.

I'm fetching a guess Pinocchio has that lovely drawing of the Rumplestiltskin knife in his type writer box...
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: zabe77 on November 06, 2012, 04:57:21 PM
Ahh, because if he IS Rumple's boy, then he would recognize the knife and believe the stories... that makes sense! I'd bet when he was transported to the "real world' he'd wonder after a while if his memories of childhood were true...
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: mlp4me on November 06, 2012, 06:17:03 PM
I'm guessing he didn't lose his memories like the rest. Unless he became a victim of the curse once it was enacted. I have my doubts though.

He could just be some random guy. It is almost too predictable that Bay would be Henry's father. Would the writers be that obvious?

Still think he's the white rabbit! Able to travel through many worlds. :) He's based on a real person we believe - Neal Cassidy from the Beat Generation.

Did you guys like the epiosde? I was so bored. I thought it wasn't even the same show! Emma didn't seem nearly as damaged as she said the foster system made her, and August...little creepy. Both her and Regina have men changing their paths!

Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: TrixieStix on November 10, 2012, 11:46:44 AM
A drawing of the knife would make sense if he was Rumple's kid....and if he is the rabbit that also seems plausible! Good call!

I do sometimes feel Regina and Emma have some similarities at times and August was bein a bit creepy, but but  :lovey:.....couldn't he have done it another way? I guess she wouldn't be the Emma we know todaaaay.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: mlp4me on November 10, 2012, 12:01:24 PM
I thought he was in Borneo (or some other country or whatever-wherever), since he left the orphenage. Jumping around and backlogging things is OK and all, but it's contradictory at times.

Episode was OK, but I fall into agreement with StoryDreamer.
I understand we have to have lully-filler episodes between good ones.

Here's my new story line: bring back Graham (come on, there's a well with water that has the magical ability to return what once was lost-lol-don't fight me on this one), make James/Charming the new mayor and get August out of the woods (or wherever the heck he's hiding). I mean no offense by this, but there are far too many female characters in these the storylines (besides occasional Henry/Gold).

Heh, none taken! But that is SUCH a rarity on a television show - a whole batch of strong female characters. Half the females on TV are sidekicks or there to fill the "shrew" role. 

I want Graham back too. But I can't stand Neal...ughh...

Post by: mlp4me on November 11, 2012, 08:40:38 AM
Oh I know, Neal has that kinda creeper vibe.   ...and we know we'll see more of him.

You gotta wonder what August is up to...

So, in your lovely pilot script do they give ages for characters? I'm so very curious; we know Henry's age, and of course Emma's...
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: StoryDreamer on November 11, 2012, 06:31:40 PM
Emma is 17 when she has Henry and Neal is over 18. Take that with a grain of salt though because they're rewriting history, LOL.

Emma is Anna in the pilot, and she's "late 20s."  Regina is late 30s.

What you'll find most interesting, mlp4me, is the fact in the script, Sheriff Graham was the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Awesome episode tonight, btw!

Yeah, another rant here. I still think Neal is was his early 30's when he met Emma. He simply cannot pass for anything younger. LOL. Is the white rabbit actually a rabbit-like the one from Alice? (It's not a name for a FTL person...? Uh duh, I'm dumb.) I dunno... unless rabbits can turn into humans? Grahams wolf stayed a wolf from FTL to real world... End rant.

Was that Rapunzel I saw in the sunken tower were Red met her "mother"??

I'm just watching the episode now but I am sure I saw Rapunzel.   Which makes me believe she is not going to be a major character in the show.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: Maniah on November 12, 2012, 03:08:32 PM
"Billy" The Mechanic was Gus the Mouse, and he became human. No reason why the white rabbit wouldn't be human also.

As to Rapunzel... I doubt that would have been her in the wolf den.. She isn't a wolf.. Right? I cant think of any fairytale that makes her out as one, anyway.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: Marigold on November 12, 2012, 03:16:53 PM
Right but he could be lieing about them all.  I don't trust him and I don't think they would have a girl with hair that long and not have her be Rapunzel.  Her hair was golden and more than floor length.  Plus he said the tower was not always sunken. 

Maybe Rapunzel could be a wolf in OUAT world.  They are doing a lot of changes and "mash ups".

I totally missed the Rapunzel thing! I was knitting while watching though... gotta pay more attention!

Midnight_Dream, I think Henry does well for a kid. I didn't like Red's acting in the flash-back though. I think the kid who plays Henry also play's Dick's son in Mad Men.

How Charming was Charming tonight? He's such a sweetie.

That White-Rabbit theory is a good one! I still think he's Rumple's son but he could be both? If Emma is the Swan princess... We'll have to wait and see.

Post by: Midnight_Dream on November 13, 2012, 03:56:09 AM
Meh....I think the kid playing Henry is terrible to be quite honest. None of his emotions really come off as believable and half the time I am left wondering if he is not bored with the whole thing. I mean, he has moments where he is good, but those are few and far between.

Though it might just be that his character is poorly written I dunno...

I adore Red personally. I think her bubbly and almost naive nature in flashbacks is nothing short of adorable. Though I admit I did get tired of her being all, "I am a monster and deserve to die!" in the last episode. I understand that she was upset over possibly offing Guss, but seriously, did she trade places with Edward Cullen there for a bit?
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: Marigold on November 13, 2012, 07:51:11 AM
Honestly, I think I might have imagined Rapunzel.  It might have been a wavy fur cloak or something one of the "wolf" had on the very first time they show the group.  I didn't see long hair after that so I think it was an illusion.  Oh well! 


With Captain Hook in the picture I wonder if Emma's Swan name has anything to do with Elizabeth Swann.  Although I think it is more likely she is the Swan Princess.  Except, then her name really should be Odette.  Do they ever say what her middle name is?  There are other swan fairy tales like The Seven Swans, but even in that one she would need to have seven brothers.

lol! nice comparison... I do like Red overall. I love how she IS the wolf and how much we learned about her in this episode. I hope we get to know her more since she is Snows bff and all...

Marigold, don't know if you imagined it or not but it would be great to see Rapunzel sometime, they're doing a great job of referencing so may fairy-stories. Odette is such a pretty name. I really DO have to read or watch the Swan Princess, I know nothing about it. Which ever Swan she's based on, it'll be interesting to see how that's worked into the whole RL/FTL/curse thingy.

It was the grand hall part of the castle that sunk. Yes that one gal looks like she had some insanely long golden wavy hair in more than one quick glance over to her!

Almost would go with the POTC Swan reference for Emma (think of how Elizabeth's character evolved between all the movies-she ended up being one tough cookie). Gotta wonder if the writers make up stuff as they go or actually have things formulated rather extensively prior to season filiming.

How cruel was that twist at the end?? (But then again what can be done with ashes of something magical must be pretty amazing...)

The creators' podcast I think (or an interview, I can't remember which) said that Swan was the name Emma gave herself, it's a surname of a family she lived with when she was in foster care.  They also said that she is her own fairy tale character..

I think Jarred does a great job. He's also a pretty cool kid on Twitter!

Since Emma grew up in the foster system from infancy, it's likely she doesn't have a middle name.

I like Jared too. I think he's adorable. He reminds me a lot of my bff's little sister when she was that age.

Aurora is a hard sell for me because she's so different from what I expected. And Mulan, well, I remember Jamie Chung from Real World San Diego and I couldn't stand her so I have trouble liking her too.

I didn't know we weren't getting an episode this week, boo!

I wasn't sure about the new characters at first, they're such a contrast, one so feeble and one so tough... but I think they're growing on me but I'm still not sure.

mlp4me, I wasn't sure about Cora at first, I always liked her in FTL but in Storybook she just seemed like a bureaucratic bully. Now I like her all around, I think they've done great with her backstory. I think my favorite Cora moment in Storybrook was when she though she had her powers and she tried to zap everyone, that was awesome!

What's funny, is I'm not huge on the actress that plays Emma. She's okay and all but she makes this crazy deep frown all the time, it makes her look so much older than her character's age, it weirds me out. I like her character but I wish she could get her frowns under control :P  I really like Snow and I liked that actress in Big Love too. I love now protective Snow is of Emma and how cute she was when she realized she had told her daughter so many appropriate things before she knew she was her daughter.

I have never liked Jennifer Morrison (Emma). She had a short arc on How I Met Your Mother as Zoey, and she was a main cast member for the first few seasons of House, Dr. Allison Cameron. I don't know why, but I just never like her. She's not a bad actress, her characters are different enough... I just never like them.

In contrast, I love Ginnifer Goodwin (Snow). I, too, loved her as Margene in Big Love. She was also really cute in Win a Date with Tad Hamilton and He's Just Not That Into You.

I haven't chimed in for this week because believe it or not I still haven't watched the show yet. I am sick (going to the dr in a little while) and feel right now I can't give the show the attention it requires. Hope to watch it soon.

SUCH a good episode! Took me forever to get to it, but worth the wait!

StoryDreamer, that was so hurtful that his mom made the better choice and saved them in the end, and then he just ditched her... how hard would it have been to invite her along? Although since he's a kid, the adults really should have stepped up too. They come through to hear Henry tell them his mom saved them, then they take off with him.

Hook's a jerk but a handsome jerk. 

I hope the huntsman comes back too... mlp4me! He's so dreamy too!

I think it would be a little out of character and weird to accept Regina too quickly...she is the Evil Queen.  She hurt practically everyone in Storybrooke, so it'll take a lot for her to start being viewed as a good person in people's eyes.

That's true....I felt bad for her because she really did help and then they just go off on their own ;-;

But Regina did curse everyone and that led to Snow/Charming's decision to send emma away making her an abandoned child and so on and on. She did kill the huntsman!!  :cloud:  But I like seeing her with a bit more *heart* where she obviously does love Henry and was clearly hurt over what transpired.

Post by: Marigold on December 11, 2012, 12:31:47 PM
I hate that Henry (nor anyone else) did not invite her with them. 

But I think it is a plot device to make Regina conflicted so when Cora arrives she will have to choose which side she is on, again.  Plus Cora now knows Regina loves her and so she has power over her.

I think there's good in Regina, which is why she chose to adopt what she thought was an 'outsider' (she didn't know Henry was Emma's right?) so she could finally have love in her life.

Good point MLP4Me, I wonder if forgiveness/reconciliation will be the thing that Emma does/finally brings to fully break the curse?

I agree that the last scene sets Regina up to be vulnerable to Cora's manipulation but in everyone's defense I will say that 99% of the town hates Regina so I'm not sure where one would go to dinner with her as a guest.

I think that once everyone sees what Cora is like, Regina will get a lot more sympathy. Just like in the real world, people are a product of their environment. Regina is a product of Cora's evil, and in turn, their hatred of her is a product of her own evil.

I think there's a lot we are not getting. A whole lot. We don't know how deep Cora's relationship with Rumple goes. And I kind of understand the whole not inviting Regina out to dinner thing because after thinking about it + listening to podcasts discuss it, because Regina did try to kill most of them and they have no idea she on a redemption path. However you can tell Emma sees good in Regina.

There's been so much focus on new character development that I truly hope we get some more storylines to end the season where we are not seeing 2 to 3 new characters per episode. Can't wait to see what Regina's relationship will be like w/Cora.

Regina is one of my favorite characters.  I'm disappointed things went from Emma trusting her (she does have a gift for knowing when someone is telling the truth after all), to completely brushing aside her thoughts that Regina was being framed.  This is now a world of magic.  She should know someone could disguise them self. 
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: mlp4me on January 09, 2013, 08:37:02 AM
Ok, spoilers ahead if you haven't watch Sunday's episode.

The whole Emma has magic is off-putting for me. I do understand that she's the product of true love, but give me a break. What's next, Henry flying around town like Peter Pan?

I'm going to be really cheesed off if Gold is killed within the next few episodes.

Cora has done an excellent job breaking Regina. I knew the second Archie was "killed" it wasn't Regina. Too bad Regina still may not be strong enough to be redeemed.

I was pondering, as I do when they flashback to FTL... Regina has been banished, what the heck did she do with the Huntsman? Didn't see him hanging out at her new place... Come on, he didn't just disappear!!

I've got high hopes things will straighten out more now that nobody is in FTL. When too much is going on things get sloppy...

Boyfriend and I were just saying last night how they do a good job of making you feel sorry for Regina, yet they still show you why others have a very hard time trusting her. The only true "bad guy" now is Cora. Regina is more a product of unfortunate circumstances. I love Regina now!
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: StoryDreamer on January 09, 2013, 06:27:14 PM
If you think about it, they have completely shifted places. Remember in the pilot when Emma shows up at the door, and Regina will have nothing to do with Emma seeing Henry, she says she hope that Emma doesn't think this mean that she can be in his life, etc. Now it's Regina that in this position.

The guy in the car isn't Neal. He's the stranger I cant remember what his name is. They're still continuing with a zillion new characters every episode to keep us confused.

Huh, greg mendell is the stranger. Wonder if he is a botinist or at least a vegetarian obsessed with peas? Just another tease episode. More waiting makes mlp very impatient.

Botanist or vegetarian obsessed with peas? oh wait, I googled... yah, when they throw in Frankenstein, anybody could be just about anybody, so who knows if this stranger will be 'someone' or just someone.

yup, teaser episode but still a good one I think (of course, I mostly see episodes of Toopy and Binoo so Golf might seem thrilling at this point!) Can't wait to finally see how Rumple's kid turned out and how he reacts. I can't figure out how old he'll be though... like if Rumple was Cora's teacher, wouldn't that make him SUPER old?

Have you read my ramble post a few pages back last post on page 10...? LOL... I had one of those days...

Okay, did anyone notice that the room they walked into for privacy in the hospital was room R2 42? And D is the 4th letter of the alphabet so it's R2-D2, and that was right before the phone rang with the Star Wars theme song... I think the stranger is the first Disney-Star Wars crossover.

As far as Rumple being Regina's dad, I don't think so... But they clearly had an affair.

Why was Gus Gus a human but Pongo remained a dog? 
It's been bothering me thinking about it.

I hope this doesn't mean there will be Star Wars crossovers to come. 

I still think Cora is the Millers daughter from Rumpelstiltskin.   
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: mlp4me on January 23, 2013, 07:57:47 AM
I have to guess that Pongo may not have been in ftl... (after all Jimney was a cricket and a dog wasn't shown at all in any of the flashbacks with him)
I think they put that reference in just for fun and you noticed it Melissa! ;) That's going waaay into left field...

The time lapse is so confusing. >_< I hope that once they show Bae things will make more sense (unless time moves differently between both realities and he didn't age while he was here and blah blah blah back tracking make it more confusing bad writing blah blah blah). Can you tell I'm getting a bit frustrated? I really do love this show but sometimes it just doesn't make any sense in the long term scheme of some things.
If Gold is Regina's father that throws a huge wrench in her life for her father was the one thing she loved most.   :shocked:

Post by: Peppie on January 23, 2013, 08:23:12 AM
Cora and Rumple had something going on at some point. That was obvious by that kiss! Plus in previous episodes Rumple told Regina he has known her since she was a baby. I might be far off on this one but it wouldn't surprise me. After all I told my friends Cora was the Queen of Hearts months before it was reviled.

Just a theory I have is all :)

I can't stand Emma. I have hated her since the very beginning of the show and I continue to hate her to this very day. She is annoying and she frustrates me to no end. I am kinda starting to like Regina more now that she isn't a complete jerk. I still won't forgive her for what she did to Graham. :cry: This last episode was pretty interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about there being an outsider. I'm kinda worried about what would happen if he starts the domino effect of people finding out about Storybrooke and who its inhabitants are. I know he called someone at the very end of the episode, but we don't know who "Her" is yet. Hopefully that will be explained in 3 weeks.

And Hook! My poor baby! :cry: When he got hit by the car, I teared up. I love Hook! Him and Hatter are my absolute favorite guys in the show.

I highly believe Regina is Rumple's father. Lots of clues. I didn't realize it until I rewatched it! The color of Regina's magic, the kiss, some dialogue. Cora is the miller's daughter too!

So much insanity!

I want to like Emma, really I do, but I'm more on board with Regina than ever. Emma-Rumple ROAD TRIP! This better be good..... :happy:

Hoping that the stranger doesn't get them in trouble/mess things up. We already have so much going on at the moment....don't want more :( I'd like things to resolve themselves a little bit more first...

If I was on the other line with the stranger I'd have said: "Man you must have hit your head hard!" Who could believe such a thing outright? Since he did say he was in an accident....unless he was actively looking for magic/storybook.

Mind if join in the discussions?

I love all these theories you guys have ( read each post made here just to catch up ) !
It never honestly crossed my mind that Rumple could be Reginas father, but I can totally see that now!

Me and my guy were puzzled over the license plate on that strangers car ( 2KFL138 ), the camera seemed to focus on it just long enough for it to seem important, we kept trying to make anagrams out of it and all...no luck though.
Any theories here?

Also, also...oh I am so excited to find someplace to babble about the show :D

What characters are you hoping will show up in the future?
Personally I'd really enjoy it if The Little Mermaid got an appearance someday :)

TrixieStix, that is odd that the other person on the phone believed him right away... unless they were looking for Storybrook, perhaps because they're also stranded FTL'ers.

You know i can't resist a tease. I've been twitter stalking Jamie  for the last 2 months (and I really don't like social media sites much). I read he's been on set in Vancouver. That pic is such a tease especially on this little tablet. I need a new hobby...

I think Neal is Bae or knows Bae.
I don't think it makes sense for Neal (Emma's baby daddy) to be Bae. Neal appeared to be about Emma's age. Maybe a little older, like Pinocchio/August's age, but not... Way older. Bae left when his dad was pretty much JUST getting the hang of being The Dark One, and he was probably, what? Like... 13, maybe a little older? Even if time doesn't flow comparably between the real world and fairy tale world, it seems to be kind of the same (based on Emma and Snow's journey). It took Rumple years to gain power, then mentor Cora and Regina, meet Belle. I would think that by the time the curse was cast, Bae would've been AT LEAST 20, therefore at least 20 years older than Emma (and now would be 50-ish). I think it would be hilarious to see Bae and Rumple the same age, like Emma and Snow/Charming are.
-----
I also don't think it would make any sense for Greg (the new guy in town) to be Bae... Maybe nobody here has even shared that opinion, but I've seen it stated other places. If Greg was Bae, he would have 1) recognized his father was the one doing magic, 2) kept it to himself, and 3) asked about Rumple in some way like "Oh weren't there two men are they both okay?" etc

Now Greg KNOWING Bae could be a possibility.

I thought of Neal being Bae, and that inside the box must be something from the fairytale world to make him remember/belive.

However August must have known who he was right? To be sure that he would understand.

I'm not completely sure, anything could happen it seems.

Graham is coming back? :o

Neal isn't the guy who drove into town. Neal is the faster of Emma's baby from the episode Tallahassee - he is in NYC. Greg is the driver.

Oh okay. I'll edit my above post to reflect that then. Lol. :lol:

I don't think Neal or Greg is Bae, I'll write why in the original post.

Post by: StoryDreamer on January 30, 2013, 05:01:38 PM
Yeah I don't want it to be but the fandom is going crazy over Neal = Bae. I really hope it's not like that! They are playing with time I think.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: mlp4me on January 30, 2013, 05:06:11 PM
I think it is too obvious for neal and bae to be the same. Writers like to keep us on our toes, i see this scenario as being too predictable.  Does not compute...
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: StoryDreamer on February 02, 2013, 10:20:08 PM

I know. If it's not on I don't even pay attention to what time it is. Missed last Sunday's re-run.
You will be glad to know that I f i n a l l y got Regina pony haired. I had a few hours for her yesterday. Now I've got to revise her costuming and body details...

We've been so patient. I'm still doing my happy dance! (I know I'm not the only one.)

I just finished season one today. My sister said it was good so I finally decided to try it.. and at first it was annoying and I honestly wasn't sure if the boy was crazy or not.. Then it got good and then a little slow and then overly dramatic. But I still liked it.. I've read a couple tidbits from season two.. I'm in no hurry to start it. I'll wait for netflix to post the entire season.

Of all the people in town, I'd go with Emma bringing him back. After all she has magic now... and then we can go into the contradictions of how magic peeps won't bring the dead back. But, dead is dead and with him not having a heart I'm pretty sure he's still toast... (Unless someone can go back in time via magic to steal the heart and stop Regina from squeezing it. Yes, these are the things I think about [I need a life]. There's a solution for every problem on this show. Seriously they need to hire me to write, LOL.)

LOVED Reginia's evil laugh when she 'helped' the giant!

Thought the Jack & the Beanstalk take was interesting. Charming's brother was such a jerk! And amazing how quickly the Giant falls for people... everyone who's nice to him he falls for, despite how many people have harmed him and his kind. His peace-loving family must've been really mean to him for him to fall in with anyone who seems nice... granted these last people saved his life.. but still... he was so quick to show that beansprout!

Next week sounds pretty exciting!

I wasn't overly impressed by this episode; but last season had a few fillers too. The dialogue was really corny imo. (Honestly I laughed through 90% of it.) Maybe I'll feel differently if I watch it a few more times... Loved watching Gold on the plane. I said this before, I'm gonna be cheesed off if his character is killed. He's such a mastermind it wouldn't be fair to future plot lines.

Wow mlp4me, gorgeous! Very well done :) I agree with you on Gold too... his character can be a bit theatrical but I still love it, he's a great character.

Yes, that probably was Cora disguised as Regina, since she had wonderland food...

Oh, the whole Neal/Bae thing... argh blargh.
More Graham, soon. Yay!
I agree, I think they don't give our demographic enough credit... We enjoy quality writing, less fluff, more planning (gee why have Law & Order/NCIS lasted so long...? The format is different, but they still bring in the ratings and the random episodes I've watched are clever and far from boring...). We catch all their little 'oopsies/plot holes.' I'm already hooked and I'll watch it faithfully through to the end even if becomes a trainwreck... lol.

Hubby has such bad cabin fever some days that he's been watching Lost on netflix... then I have to make it a point to show him every Lost character that's on OUAT (as if he really cares)...

David said Regina was Henry's great- grand- mother as well as his adopted mother. I don't follow the great-grand-mother part?

snow white is henry's grandmother and regina is his great grandmother, being a step mother to snow white. it is all a bit disturbing that everyone will all be related to those they dont want to be related to. having neal be bae was a bit disappointing. couldnt it have been some nobody.

i dont want regina to go back to dark magic. she has been trying so hard being good, to show henry that she doesnt need magic just to keep him in her life. cora isnt making it easy for her. hook needs to go away, he is annoying me with his revenge. boo hoo. i think that he and rumple are even now. they both lost milah from each other and its time for him to move on like rumple has.

i dont get why milah had a cow over rumple coming back from the war. she did make it sound like she didnt want him to go to war, like he didnt have to prove himself to be a hero. then he comes home with his self inflicted injury and she takes everyones word that he was a coward than believe her own husband. why was it so hard for her to believe that he did it to live to be with her and to see his son grow up with a father in his life a hero or not? why would they not take the seers word on what she saw in rumples future? what would have milah done if rumple had died and she was on her own to raise bae, would she still have found her way to hook?
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: mlp4me on February 18, 2013, 07:59:48 AM
It's honorable for men to die in the Ogre war in Rumple's village. He truly disgraced himself with that self-inflicted leg wound...in Milah's eyes. I'd fetch a guess that she would have found Hook anyway if Rumple had died...
Rumple can be ruthless; would he kill Henry? Good question. We'll have to wait and find out if Regina/Cora kill him first...
I don't think Regina has many redeemable qualities given current circumstances/influence besides her drive to keep Henry. Even then I think she just holds his namesake and doesn't truly care about him... Her heart has to be a small black lump of coal.
Definitely enjoyed this episode too bad we've got to wait 2 weeks for a new one... Love when Kitsis/Horowitz get into the writing...
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: zabe77 on February 18, 2013, 10:25:12 AM
I have to say, I'm kind of glad the expected happened and Balefire is Neil... any more people and I don't think I could keep track!

Would Gold kill Henry? I'd say yes if it means getting his Bae back; however, he really shouldn't as he's already learned that knowing the inevitable doesn't mean your first instinct to stop it will be the right choice, if anything, if he hurts Henry it will be his undoing and the prophecy will be fulfilled.

I loved how they had the scene were Charming was trying to keep track of everyone and how they were related, too funny since it was likely to help us out in remembering how it all worked!  I hope Henry starts calling Gold Grandpa like he does with Snow & Charming... hee hee!

Oh, and if Regina is actually Gold's daughter, that would make her Henry's (legal)mother, his step-great-grandmother, and his Aunt!

Post by: Marigold on February 18, 2013, 12:58:43 PM
His "undoing" might be something about breaking the curse of the dark one on him.   I think what Rumple thinks is a bad thing is going to end up being his salvation.

But Rumple didn't make the curse... so if he died I wouldn't think that would end it would it?

Yup, Rumple's unduing will either be dying or loosing his power... I hope it's loosing his power as I'm a sucker for sweet endings and I think it would be adorable if he lost is power and regained his sweet inner-self and regained love in his life  :lookround:

There are just too many story lines in this show that it's just so hard to follow. You've got Regina, Cora and Hook trying to get rid of Rumple then Emma, Henry, Rumple trying to find Bae, which they have and there will be more to that of course and then finally Belle and the stranger.

I'm not a fan of this stranger being in Storybrooke. I'm not sure why they are bringing him into the picture and potentially bringing more of those who aren't from Fairy Tale Land. I'm just so confused as to where they are going with this.

The thought about Neil being Peter Pan also occurred to me, it would be very interesting to find out!

I'm so excited to get it confirmed that Cora was the millers daughter!

So far I am thinking that her story went as it did in the classic story up until her 'happy ending' that got somehow spoiled by Snow's mother.

For a while I thought that maybe she was engaged to the King ( snow's father ) and had Regina, but that the secret of her lying about her abilities or the fact that she promised their child to Rumple got out and she was dumped for Snow's mother.

But then I realized Regina later married that King and that would just make it all super creepy, so scrapped that theory XD

Okay remind me of who the Millers Daughter is? Which fairy tale is that?

Gold can't die right? He's too integral... and I like him.

The Millers Daughter is from the Rumplestiltskin classic fairytale,

In it there is a boastful Miller who brags far and wide about everything, A servant of the king seeks shelter in the mill and the miller proceeds to boast about his beautiful daughter who can spin gold from only straw.
The servant goes off to tell King and the king demands to see the talented girl.
She is locked into a castle chamber full of straw and ordered to spinn it all into gold for the next day or she'll be executed.

Since she can't really do it, she thinks it's hopeless and begins to cry.
Then a small little man comes through the window and offers to help her in exchange for her bracelet.
He spinns the gold for her, and the next morning the King is impressed but wants more so he locks her in again.
The next night the man comes in again to help her in exchange for her necklace.
When the King sees the gold for the second time he says that if she can do it one more time he will marry her and make her his queen.
Only this night she doesn't have anymore trinkets to give the mysterious man, so he asks of her to give him her first born child.
She agrees because she feels she has no other choice and then he helps her and she marries the King.

After they have their first child, the man returns for his payment.
She begs him to change his mind and take something else instead but he won't.
Somehow she gets him to agree to let her keep the baby if she can guess his name within a week, and for that week she sends out servants to learn all the name in the kingdom.
Every night he comes to her and she reads her list of names but none is right.
Then on the last night one of the servants overhear someone in the woods singing about how he will have a royal child because it is impossible to guess his name, Rumplestiltskin.

He tells the Queen and she guesses it and so the story ends happily with her keeping her child.


Sorry for that super long retelling, I really honestly tried to summ it up and make it short but I failed XD

I thought she was the Miller's daughter all along, but I do wonder about the King in that story.  If it follows the story, she would have married the king, and so I am hoping that Snow's father is NOT the king she married/was supposed to marry.  Id rather there be something else that Snow's mother did to incur her wrath rather than it be a love triangle.  Especially because the Miller's daughter is supposed to have a happy ending where she marries the king and has a baby. 

So something else must have happened.  Maybe Snow's mom inadvertently caused Cora's husband's death or something.

Cora didnt marry the King, she married his son, Prince Henry. Henry is the name of Reginas father, whom she named Emmas son after. I was thinking that Miller was Coras last name not what she was, then making me thinking either her and Eva were friends and their friendship ended from something. I don't know what Snows fathers name is, so I think Eva just married another King to gaining her Queen title.

Would love to see more of young Cora, more stories of when she was raising Regina, how she gained all that power when Rumple left after her breaking his heart and only learning how to spin straw into gold. Why would Rumple give her the book on magic after she lied and betrayed him?
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: zabe77 on March 11, 2013, 04:23:19 PM
Didn't Cora say something about being princess would still put her 20 spots or something from the throne? So was the Prince she married not actually in line for the throne she wanted? She wanted a larger kingdom than the one she married into and Eva was the one who married into that position? Or did she simply want Eva's kingdom for her daughter because she tripped her?  I really wish I hadn't deleted this episode, I want to watch it again, so much happened!

Good points on the book etc babyblueducky... I still wonder if there's a chance that Regina is his daughter since they still had some sort of connection afterwards it appears.

Regina is SO MAD now, she's about to become SUPER VILLAIN! Dun dun dunnnnn.... Way to go Snow! So glad for Rumple though, I wonder if he'll be nicer now that he's had a near-death experience?

Also, how sweet were Cora's last words? Awwwe... if only she had known sooner...

I do wonder how they ended up 'not royalty' anymore though, Prince Henry seemed more like a semi nobleman in the flashbacks?

I'm sad for Regina, she just wanted to be loved D:

I wonder what would have happened had Cora gotten her hear back without a curse on it?

Maybe her love for Rumple would have made her save his life somehow....

Ah, what will happen next?!

Post by: Vertefae on March 12, 2013, 06:29:35 AM
I think Cora's husband was a minor Prince. Lots of older brothers or something :) I think Cora was out to spite Ava simply because Ava embarrassed her. Rumple told her to not stop until they were on their knees. Poor Rumple, everyone he loves leaves him.

Cora didnt marry the King, she married his son, Prince Henry.

I meant the prince when I wrote king about the original story.  But that was before I saw the most recent episode.  So she really is a miller's daughter.

So Eva is Snow's mom?  And she was the one who tripped Cora?  And like Zabe said, Cora is not next in line so maybe Eva became queen (and must have become a kinder person somewhere along the way). 

I feel bad for Snow.  She can't come back from murder as she said.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: mlp4me on March 16, 2013, 01:46:43 PM
Yes, Eva is Snow's mom and she did the tripping.
Going back did anyone else notice a lack of Snow's father when his mother was dying...? I dunno, you'd think he would have been written in at that point; it wasn't said that he was away. Or did I totally miss him sitting in the crowd? I understand the writers wanted a connection to be shown between Snow and her mother, but we didn't get to see King Leopold until the very end of the episode, and searching for a new queen for that matter...

Yes! Because Richard Schiff played King Leopold (Snow's dad) and he also played Toby on The West Wing, who I loved so I was hoping to see him at the funeral.

Regina's last name now makes sense to me thanks to last week's episode! :lol: I had a feeling the stranger was going to be the kid from the flashbacks while watching the episode this evening. I wonder what happened to his father though. The anticipation for next week's episode is killing me! :cry: I am also super sad that we won't be seeing anymore Jefferson because of the actor's obligations to the Broadway show Picnic and Captain America.

Great episode, I loved seeing Storyebrook pre-Emma! I lOVED Regina's smile in the beginning when she was triumphing over having it all! Especially when she was behind Snow who was standing next to Charming in a coma... she looked SO happy...

Oh Snow, it's so horrible what's happened to her and her heart. What a mess...

Very excited over the reveal on the 'stranger'.  Can't wait till next week!

I thought I heard them say Leopold was away too, and that a messenger had been sent or something... Also, how awesome is the name Leopold?

If you watch the beginning credits this last episode wasn't written by (series creators) Eddie or Adam... I wasn't too fond of it either; prefer when they write. Shining moments and blah. This season has had too many lul's. Another 3 weeks of waiting...?

All the "bad guys" aren't really acting so bad and with kililng off Cora and wherever the heck Hook is, so why not introduce more baddies to fill in the need? Poor Neal, he's being duped and doesnt' know it.

Great way to write off Eion (I belive he'll be starring in another series)... It will be interesting to see if Pinocchio and Henry interract...

Truer words, they have never been spoken.

I find myself tiring of this show at some points, especially when the only decent actors are not the ones the show focuses on and the ones that are just terrible get all the focus (I am looking at you Emma and Henry!) it...is just very exhausting at times. And at the end of the day I just think season one was way better. Did they fire all the writer's from last season or what?!

No, they haven't fired last season's writers (maybe added 2 more... not sure too lazy to look up who wrote each episode).
I fear that if they take on this wonderland spin-off that ouat will be in serious jeopardy (like maybe eddie and adam will step back from it to give new show more attention). Still no word if it's renewed.

Eeeeeegh.

Last season was better, I still have hopes though!

I've also noticed alot of people dislike Henry,
For me he is one of my favourites, probably because he reminds me so much of one of my brothers when he was younger :)

I've been enjoying the "loose ends" being tied up in this season and I'm sure Tamara and Graham/Ewan/whatshisname will grow on me eventually as well :D

I miss the whole premise of the first season. Henry had all the answers, we longed for the final battle and to see what would happen if the curse was broken.

This season has been allover the place, so many new people, those core characters don't get a lot of chances to shine... 

There's so much backstory to cover in FTL I hope there will be more as the season winds down. This prospect of magic beans has my interest; will they be used or destroyed?
Then I think Hook's gonna steal a bunch of beans and high-tail his ship back to Neverland and take a bunch of people with him...

I don't think Regina destroyed the beans. I think she is intrigued also by going back to "their land." I think she may think that they are going to take Henry back there without her, but Greg and Tamara will probably be the ones to mess with the beans before Regina. I'm sure of it.

Belle's cursed self is interesting..   I was creeped out by her intrigued by Mr. Gold brutally beating someone.

All the other characters were essentially themselves even when cursed.  Snow was still sweet Snow, David was still Charming, Jiminy was still a conscious driven cricket at heart.

So it is very odd for Belle to like violence.  I could see her as a bar fly and maybe even a bit too worldly, but I can't see her as someone who likes people to hurt.

I think she was tainted more by Regina's magic because she was more vulnerable... She was more of a blank slate with no memories when the curse re-hit her, before the curse was broken she was locked up for 27 years!

Gold and Belle are my fiance's favorite characters. He love's Rumple's evil little "hehoohoo" laugh, he's been trying to imitate it since we started watching.

I kinda actually did see the part about her being into beating the guy up, it kinda goes with the whole "anti-self" thing they seem to be getting at, and how their relationship is mirroring itself.

Am I the only one who was disappointed with the last episode? Usually the scenes between Rumple and Belle are some of the best, but..wow, at the beginning in the hospital the acting was just terrible and the lines felt forced on the part of the actors. It...was bad.

Things did get a bit better in the middle when Robin Hood appeared, but it sort of fell off again with the appearance of Lacy. *sigh* It really seems like the writer's are grasping at straws to come up with villians, so they do everything they can to keep Rumple on the edge by having his relationship with Belle be constantly put to the test for whatever reason (the whole memory loss thing is really starting to get old) and I am kind of sick of it.

This entire season has been a major disappointment once Cora was taken out of the picture and, honestly, unless something amazing happens in the season finale I can honestly say I will not be in for season three.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: Bow Tie on April 23, 2013, 06:20:25 PM
I really hope they have a good reason for doing this to Belle and I really hope that Rumple's violence will trigger something in Belle to make her go, "This is not the man I love!" or "This is not who you are!" and all that like in the flashbacks. The violence will just get to be too much and it will bring back her memory. The episode was meh. Not a fan and the new characters are so blah. Tamara and what's-his-face are no good. There are too many stories going on and it's become a mess. I think they should just stick to Regina and Rumple being the main villains rather than adding more people. The episode was really meh.

I could not agree more.
It's not just a personality trait with her it's really the essence of who she is!
I really liked Lacey otherwise, but the being turned on by cruelty and violence thing just seems completely off to me.

They did a great job with Robin Hood though.

And I do not think Regina would destroy the beans,
possibly  she'd take them for herself though :)

Tamara and Greg are still kinda bleh, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, they might still grow into interesting characters.

Also really wish Cora could have stuck around for a while, she was great.

I'm also annoyed with Emma not wanting to live in the world she came from.  It's just another plot hill to climb over and there are too many of them right now.  It's getting a bit soap opera-y.

I like shows like this, but I don't like how they go on for so long and so many seasons that you don't get a resolution for a very long time so they have to keep coming up with new conflicts and continue the old conflicts. 

I would prefer them to make it a mini series with a set amount of shows and a clear end on the horizon.

I wonder if there is something about Belle we don't know about prior to meeting Rumple in the flashbacks. It's either that or it really is just more or less random.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: Melissa on April 24, 2013, 06:35:07 AM
Well, we don't really know anything about Belle before she volunteered to go with Rumple, but we do know that after she left him, she went to the same bar at least twice because she met Dreamy/Grumpy there. In that realm (which basically seems based on the middle ages) it's probably a lot less appropriate/common for women to be in bars unless they're hookers, so the whole barfly persona could come from that or something before we met her.

Regina enacted the curse she was able to create whatever persona she wanted for Belle in the real world. Of course she'd want to make her the polar opposite of what Rumple liked/loved so much about her in FTL...

Yeah I've been disappointed with this season but I'll watch it 'til the end. Hopefully these last few episodes have redeeming points... (Got a Graham flashback this season... that's all I wanted...)

She was a princess I thought.  Or at least we saw her in a castle working with the king (who I thought was her father) and trying to find ways to save the kingdom from the ogres or orcs or something.  She was someone who was important to the kingdom.  This was very early on and was the first we saw of Belle before she went with Rumple.

Yeah but we don't know anything about her life other than she was a princess. Maybe she snuck out every night and sung karaoke at the local pub. Maybe her dad was abusive. Maybe she was born a pony and a magical spell turned her into a human! We just don't know.

Yeah but we don't know anything about her life other than she was a princess. Maybe she snuck out every night and sung karaoke at the local pub. Maybe her dad was abusive. Maybe she was born a pony and a magical spell turned her into a human! We just don't know.

Pony Belle is my new head canon now :)

Love Pony Belle. 

Yes, you're right, we don't know all that much.  I do think she frequented the bars, but the violence part is still not her.  I think, as someone else said, it is Regina who did something to her to make her like violence.

On the official podcast, the creators say that Lacey is Belle's exact opposite. The matchbook was a trigger for her cursed self to appear.

Bae being Peter Pan. I see people saying this but just because he was taken in by by The Darlings.

Because if you look at this picture..

And watch the trailer.. this is a scene with "Peter" beckoning Wendy and Bae out the window.

I think the 'Peter' is a shadow, but it can affix itself to boys, and any one can be Peter Pan. And I really want it to be Henry. Because Peter Pan is selfish and cocky, and Henry has all these complicated feelings and is going through a lot and would want to just run away, particularly if he learns both of his mothers have magic. 

Though I think he gets kidnapped by Tamara and Greg, and they end up going to Neverland with Regina, Emma, etc after this.

Last episode was pretty great in my opinion :)

I loved it when Emma was trying to show Henry how to kick the door :XD:

And I'm always happy to see Regina and Henry talking, so that scene was nice as well...even though it ended with memory wipe, still sweet up until the "We gotta kill em' all, kid!"

Also, Malificent is wonderful, I really wish they would have brought her back as herself or the dragon though, it's not the same now :/

i pretty sure that is was regina who destroyed the bean field after discovering it was hidden and she took what she needed before burning it. as for her mothers bracelet, who knows what form of "science" tamara and owen/greg did to it to make magic not work for the wearer. i hope things are resolved soon cause it is getting annoying with some of the story line. i hate tamara for making august die and become a little boy again.

There's a lot of stuff going on right now.  :freak:
Regina destroyed all those beans b/c she didn't want anyone to leave Storybrooke. She wants to destroy the town that she and Henry can start over again, just the two of them. She really just can't get enough can she?
Regina really keeps sticking with her "MacGrubber left town, sorry Kid I don't where your Dad went" story. It'll be interesting to know if we do find out what happened to him. Nothing happened to Owen when he left town, but who knows what Regina did to MacGrubber before he left, if he did...

I haven't read any spoilers or watched any teasers. I just want this all to end with a surprise!

I'm so mad that they killed off Bae! I wish Emma dropped with him so she can finally go away. XD All the eye candy are disappearing one by one. We're pretty much never seeing Hatter again, Pinocchio is back to being a little boy again, Bae is gone, Graham is gone. At least Hook is still alive, unless they're going to kill him off too. :mad:

It all depends if he ends up somewhere where his wound can be treated. I'm still mad about Graham (ha, really, yeah). They had to have a way to write Eion off...

Post by: Midnight_Dream on May 06, 2013, 09:21:49 PM
I think it would be hugely ironic if Bae ended up back in Neverland and it seems like the sort of thing the writer's would do, so I am going with that theory until it is proven wrong.

Speaking of eyecandy, what ever happened to Hatter anyway? I miss drooling over his sexiness, though he is not nearly as hot as the man playing Hook.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: mlp4me on May 07, 2013, 08:17:20 AM
I'd laugh if Bae ended up in Neverland. It would make sense... So I'll 2nd that theory, if we put it to a vote then maybe it'll come true if we believe enough...

Sebastian has other projects that he's working on (just like Eion and Jamie)... So conflicting schedules=no more man candy.

I haven't read yet if it's been renewed for a 3rd season... anybody know?
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: zabe77 on May 07, 2013, 08:54:21 AM

Post by: Bow Tie on May 07, 2013, 12:07:32 PM
Yeah, Hatter is working on Captain America and a broadway show so we won't be seeing him for a while, if ever again. :cry:

I'm crossing my fingers Bae is going to be back in Neverland and will be cared for by Wendy once more. :heart:

I haven't heard anything about a season 3 yet. I was looking at the number of viewers for each episode this season and it keeps going down and down. Starting out with a strong 11 million with the premiere and stayed pretty steady with between 8 and 10 million 'til episode 12. Between 12 and 21, the views have been in 7 million range. That's still not bad, but I'm not surprised.

I was reading this article and I agree wholeheartedly with point number 1! Too many characters!

It's so confusing. And the writers know it. I have to watch episodes 2 or 3 times to catch everything. It's not a bad thing, but if you miss even once you're lost. Yeah, I can understand the viewership lul. There were many lul episodes. I wonder how the numbers are doing now that season 2 is showing in Europe... If I remember correctly the numbers are not nearly as high as they are here...

I don't know I still feel like Bae can be Peter Pan! In the story, he "loses" his shadow and comes to find it so maybe what really happens is Bae/Peter Pan FOLLOWS the shadow to prevent it from stealing kiddos.
I definitely don't think he's dead. I guess he could be with Aurora and Mulan since I'm sure the writers want to get back to those characters eventually. I hope he fell into Wonderland or Black and White Land (where Whale/Frankenstein came from) since we haven't seen much of those lands.

Post by: Midnight_Dream on May 08, 2013, 06:08:01 PM
I think the season should have had less episodes to expand upon key plot points like the Hook and Cora team-up while Emma and Snow were in the Enchanted Forest together. It just felt like the season was going at a good pace up until then, but once all four of them came out everything got super fast and super crazy. Seriously, these writers need to learn a thing or two about pacing.

Oh, and if they could stop getting Rumple and Belle back together only to separate them a million times over that would be lovely.

Ahahahahaha!!! That gif! I love it so much!

I was trying to explain how much of a mess OuaT is right now to my boyfriend and he started going on about Lost and that I shouldn't get too attached to OuaT because it's probably going on a similar path as Lost by having a couple of good season and then a bunch of really bad seasons. When I told him that it was created by the the writers of Lost, he was like, "No wonder it's so confusing!" and he went on about how it's only going to get more confusing and that if I start to get even more confused, it's only going to stay that way. The conversation we had was pretty funny. He was so confused about everything when I tried explaining the second season to him since he's only seen season one.

kind of off topic, but i just wanted to say this. they cast a 19 year old girl to play wendy who is suppose to be what 12? kinda dumb, the kid who plays bae is a kid, like 14. could they not find a girl who actually is a tween to play the part? it would be fun to see more of neverland and how they plan on explaining more on how it started. i did see that there will be a spin off dealing with wonderland, once upon a time in wonderland, i believe it was called. seems kind of soon for a spin off, but it looks like it should be good.

Babyblue, they do that in shows all the time. Most tv shows and movies about high schoolers, for example, have 20 something year olds playing the parts of the kids.  Just look at the Glee cast!

I don't know how to feel about the finale. It was eh, but there were some parts that just hit me in the feels like the Rumpbelle parts. :cry: I hope season 3 redeems the mess that is season 2. :lol:

kind of off topic, but i just wanted to say this. they cast a 19 year old girl to play wendy who is suppose to be what 12? kinda dumb, the kid who plays bae is a kid, like 14. could they not find a girl who actually is a tween to play the part? it would be fun to see more of neverland and how they plan on explaining more on how it started. i did see that there will be a spin off dealing with wonderland, once upon a time in wonderland, i believe it was called. seems kind of soon for a spin off, but it looks like it should be good.
The guy that played Hannah Montana's "teenage" brother was 28 when the show started, and it ran for I think 5 years?

Ohhh, me too Marigold!

So thoughts on the season finale?
Spoiler
I may have to watch it again as I"m already fuzzy. I was umm... surprised that it took so long for the stone to amp-up, and thought the 'oh, wait, maybe I can try my magic too' was a bit lame... but I really liked how both of Henry's moms were working together for him. Interested in seeing who season 3 goes in Neverland.

Oh, and I liked how Snow pointed out that she made the 'easy' choice over the right choice and that's no good. It the hardest life lesson to learn I think. Guilt/regret is an ugly thing.

The crystal bean was so pretty! I wanted one too :lol:

I'm dying to see season 3 but I'm also terrified of the "prophecy" and that Rumpelstiltskin will be killed!!! I was squeeing when Belle  got her memories back and they kissed, awww ^.^ And that he decided to save Henry instead of kill him. I knew he couldn't do it :) He's a good guy, he just won't admit it to himself ;)

I am almost 100% sure that "Rumplestilskin's undoing" means his curse as the dark one will be broken. So Henry is going undo the curse on Rumplestilskin and he won't die. The beast needs to become a man again.  He might die for a moment but if he does Bele's love will save him.   I think they will have a happy ending.

Wasn't the blond boy in the hood Peter Pan?  I thought he said something along the lines of "Peter Pan always gets his man".  Paraphrased, but he was basically saying he himself will find and capture the boy (Henry) for the shadow (who is nameless).

Maybe... but I thought he was one of the Lost Ones. He reminds me of Slightly, Peter's second in command. The Lost Boys always thought Peter could do no wrong after all.

A couple of comments:

1. I can never do anything else while I'm trying to watch OUAT I  just miss to much.
2. I believe you are right Henry will destroy this curse of the dark one but not kill Rumple.
3. I have thought for months Neil was Peter Pan but now I'm not sure.........
4. Are they trying to say Peter Pan is a villain?

I too will have to watch it again. I know I missed some things.

Official statements about Peter have been made. They say that we haven't seen him.... that means we'll have a new character coming into the show.

I'm going to miss having nothing to do on Sunday night. Can't wait for season 2 on DVD! I guess we'll find out if that shadow actually belongs to a person. It'll be interesting to see what happens in SB without our main authority figures. Yeah, the dwarves and fairies are hanging out, but that doesn't mean that King George won't cause some trouble again...

For now I'm gonna recommend watching The Fall... (You can never have enough Jamie as a serial killer!)

Probably because the magic is back in Storybrooke. :) They've said that a lot of the show will focus on the people on the ship, and I'm pretty excited, because there's so much drama potential.. Regina.Rumple...Hook...Emma..Snow..Charming..all on a boat. Most of them have tried to kill one another..LOL.

It looks super plot driven, and super just "true love against all odds" as the overwhelming message. Less-developed characters than Once, I fear.

The mental institution I sort of get but what is up with the Genie? :o

One of the reasons I loved Wonderland as a child was because it was not romance centered and it was so silly and childlike.

I had to catch up! I've been avoiding OUAT stuff for a little while and had to squeal during the scene with the Little Mermaid <3 *SOOOO * excited for that and what will happen in the next season.

I also hadn't heard/seen anything about the wonderland and just watched the trailer.  It could be ok, but OUAT is my main focus. catch a few episodes if I can, and then I'll decide :)  But it was definitely something I was unprepared for. A GENIE!  :lol:

I've rewatched my OUAT season 1 and 2 DVDs and I've not been able to something out. How did Jefferson/Mad Hatter keep his pre-curse memories? Also, did Mr. Gold remember his life/memories the whole 28 years after the curse or only when Emma showed up in Storybrooke?
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: StoryDreamer on August 30, 2013, 04:46:52 PM
1 - Jefferson kept the pre-curse memories because Regina made it so. She did that to torture him I believe, especially since he was a "world jumper" and she made it so that he couldn't even leave his house (till Emma came, which dislodged the effects of the curse)
2 - He didn't remember until Emma.

I always have to wait a few days extra for each episode before I can view it, So I tend to avoid this thread until I've been able to see it so I won't get spoiled :)

Or atleast I used to, I'm not sure I care as much anymore.
The show itself is not as interesting to me as it used to be,
But what I really enjoy is reading the discussions and opinions it brings up among the other fans, so I will keep watching anyway ;)

How did everyone like the show tonight?

I thought Tamara and Greg died off really fast, though I'm not comlaining XD Thought the scene with Neil returning to his dad's castle and finding the stick/door thing was a little too fast and convenient. But it was a good episode I thought :) I didn't like that the mermaids were evil though! And I was hoping to see Ariel lol.

I'm wondering why Pan wants Henry and if Mulan and Robin Hood will join Neil :think: Does anyone know how Neil/Baelfire escaped Never Land when he was younger? I don't think they mentioned it in season 2 :what:

I won't be able to re-watch until weds or thurs... :o(  I missed so much, but I really need it clarified how Neal is all healed and I swear I saw Phillip is alive... eh??

The only thing I liked about this episode were the Captain Swan moments for those of us who ship them (Emma only acts when she is around him!) and the reappearance of Robin Hood. I am wondering what happened to Maid Marion though as the last time we saw both her and Hood she was heavily pregnant and I have a sinking feeling both she and the baby were either killed in the curse or sent to Storybrooke.

Oh! I also forgot that I enjoyed seeing Rumple back in his old outfit and that his actor seems to have his spark back this season, though I hated the sobbing over his son's doll scene because I think it is just playing up on a guilt I am sick of hearing about. I get it, you are guilty that you chose magic over your own kid, shut up about it already!

I really hope this season does not drag on like last season and that they do not get out of Neverland before half way through the season. I think the key to getting out of Neverland has something to do with re-attaching Pan to his shadow or that is the key to beating him....there is something special about that shadow, I know it.

Rumple was crying because as far as he knows, Baelfire is dead... he was shot and fell through a portal, remember? Rumple still hadn't truly mended that lost bond, and he misses his son.

Yeah, I wondered how Neal got healed so quickly when he was on the brink of death XD

I enjoyed all the Rumple scenes! Though he wasn't really in it much. I thought it was sweet he was crying over the doll, aww. Seems like he went to Neverland to avenge Neil more than to get Henry back though :P I hope it goes into how Neil escaped and I didn't know Rumple had ever been to Neverland before that.

We'll probably get to know how Mulan and Aurora got Prince Phillip back later on in the season :)

I was hoping the new season would pull me back into the show but I just don't get the feelings from it anymore :(

I tried to get involved but I just kept thinking about the plot holes that were already mentioned.
Things seemed too convenient and predictable lately and I miss Storybrook, I want them to go back :(

Sorry for being a debbie downer  :blush:

I am looking forward to seeing Ariel as opposed to the evil mermaids that we saw.

The actor that they chose to play Peter Pan I think is a good choice though.

The plot holes were a bit much, but I am hoping that they will make up for it. The ability to believe controlling it will be good.

Was not a fan of the add of Once Upon a Time in Wonderland that they aired during the premiere.

It was an ok episode for me :huh: I'm reeeeally getting tired of Emma whining about being an orphan and her parents abandoning her. She did the same thing to Henry! If it was really so tramautizing, she would have thought twice about giving Henry up. She found out why her parents let her go through the wardrobe, but she still can't let it go. So annoying >_<

I'm really enjoying Hook in this season though :) I was kinda "ehh" about him in the beginning of season two, but he's really grown on me :D And it was nice to see Belle in this ep even if she wasn't really there ;)

I've always had a problem with Emma "giving him up" because she was in prison. She couldn't keep him, she would have to either give him to a family me member or given him up for adoption. Rarely are prisons equipped with nurseries.

I'm very tired of them going back to the past and showing us Regina bs the Charmings.

I think that there are moments that I needed/wanted to see in season 2 that are feeling out of place or "old"  in season 3. Those would be Emma on her abandonment, though I could understand Peter Pan using that as a way to jab at her, because she is like the Lost Boys.  Everyone talking about their issues..

Hook has always been fun to watch, he brings life into a series that likely would have died without that kind of spark. And am I the only one who caught the Ruffio reference?! That was a pretty awesome bit and I am kind of sad no one else is geeking out about it.

I kind of understand why Emma "whines" about being abandoned. The foster system is not a great place to be in for some people and it sounds like she got turned around in it a lot, so no one ever really wanted her and that has to be very scaring for a child. If she had a good home like Henry it might not have been so traumatic, but as it was it is understandable that she still has issues about the whole thing.

I understood the Ruffio reference.  I even commented on it.  But I kind of didn't like Hook, and considering Peter Pan was there on the island still, it didn't make a lot of sense.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread (OUAT)
Post by: Aitsuki on October 07, 2013, 10:34:04 AM
Well, remember, Peter isn't the one who took Hook's hand in this version of the story. Rumplestiltskin did; Hook and Peter were just at very tense odds. Hook isn't obsessed with him, he's in fact a bit afraid of him. But I think the main reason that Emma is so much more upset lately is because they're in Neverland... an island full of kidnapped orphans. Pretty much all the children on the island? Their parents probably died long ago... there were tons of kids there in Victorian times, and they all know they'll never see their families again, because that's how Peter wants it. Emma can hear them crying... that's gotta be like being in foster care again.

I was thinking about it and how did Tamara and Greg even know about Neverland and thought they had a headquarters there? That part was bizarre to me :blink: Maybe the writers just needed an excuse to get them all to Neverland?

Wonderland felt like it was trying too hard.  And trying to hard to tie it into regular OUAT.  And trying too hard to show us every Wonderland charecter that is popular all at once. And I don't really care about the whole Alice and Genie love affair. All the red eyes were fake looking and the cgi rabbit and cat looked poorly done. Too much happened in one episode and if felt like they should have just made this a full movie and end it already. It was lacking in wonder too.

I wasn't impressed.   I doubt it will last.

Interesting! I've heard several people say that they did the Aurora/Mulan thing for the fans since there were a lot of people wanting them together. And for the clueless people like me, we just assumed she was going to tell Aurora she loved Phillip so it's however anyone wants to interrupt it :lol:

I think it was probably a shout out to the fans (kinda like Hasbro making Drama Pony's name "Muffin") but probably nothing will be said about it since it doesn't look like anything will ever come of Aurora/Mulan or Phillip/Mulan.

I imagine the producers will stay quite on this one but I am dying to know what they say :P

That's my theory anyway :lol:

If Mulan was going to tell Aurora that she was in love with Philip I doubt she would have been so happy and excited to do it as she seemed to be :P
Makes much more sense to me that she admired Philip and for that reason she followed him, that she later fell for Aurora was something that she did not mean to happen or knew how to deal with until Neil was telling her about how you have to confess your love and made her overcome her fear.

I really enjoyed the Tinkerbell and Blue Fairy story in this episode, I hope to see more of the fairies in the future :D

I'm actually positive of Wonderland as well, maybe I am just in an especially great mood today or something, haha!

I think the enviorments were really nice and sure, the story seemed a little forced but most pilots are a little shaky before the series gets going  ^.^

I had a hard time taking the drama seriously though, as I could not get this mental image out of my head...

I am a little confused, Where did that scene at the fireplace with Peter and Rumple take place in the flashbacks?
If it was Neverland it certainly didn't seem that difficult to get in an out of there, but even if it was still within the Enchanted Forest does this mean Peter can come and go as he wishes between worlds(I know his shadow can but as himself)?

Took place in Hamelin, looks like that's the Enchanted Forest and it looks like Peter could come and go. Which makes me think he had something to do with Henry getting to Storybrooke. Maybe he could go and go as he pleased when magic was in the world.. but now that magic is dying off.. he can't?

Yeah, last season was right terrible, it just went on for far longer than it should have and went downhill after they ganked Corra. I am pleasantly surprised at how much I am enjoying this season, though it helps that I like how they portray Peter Pan and that whole story arch and that I get more back story on Killian/Captain Hook. :heart:

I adored this episode as it had a good pace, nice back story, and there was no beating around the bush like there usually is. Maybe I just liked it so much because it focused on David, Pan, and Captain Hook and the women didn't really bog the story down with their...hm...weird funk. The men just play so well off of each other, more so than the women, and I really liked it. Plus, the Captain Swan moment made me so freaking happy mainly because Emma only ever acts when she is around Hook...and Hook is hot. :lol:

Side note, where the h was Tink during this ep? I thought she was traveling with them now...or maybe I blocked out the part where she left....XD

Not looking forward to the Little Mermaid thing next week, mainly because it is just a filler episode and this series has too many of those as it is and because I am just not into the Little Mermaid (at least not the Disney version). But I hope they have an interesting twist to it like they have with every other fairy tale.

I loved last night's episode!! Loved Hook's back story and the Hook/Emma kiss even though I still want her to be with Neil :lol: I liked when Emma held Mary Margaret down so Regina could take the lost boy's heart, haha. I would have done the same. Sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do ;)

Tink seems to have disappeared. Wonder if she'll show up again when they have a way out of Neverland?

Can't wait for next week's episode! Ahh! ARIEL!! :squee:

Captain Swan..... swoon! I've hated Neil since the beginning, so this was nice. Hate love triangles though :(

ARIEL!!!! So excited for next week, but unsure how I feel about Regina being Ursula as well.

I'm so excited about Regina being Ursula. Lana has asked since season 1 if she could play Ursula and it's so cool they let her!

Post by: Marigold on October 28, 2013, 12:48:19 AM
I also don't like love triangles at all, and I don't like Neil.  Actually, I like him as Rumple's son, but I dislike him as Emma's love. 

I didn't realize Ursula is Regina.  I would rather she be a separate person, but well, maybe it fits with their story.  I'm not that excited about them jumping to tell Ariel's story or that they are building up to it like we are all crazed about her or something.  She does look really pretty though.  I like that her hair isn't super red. 

I may never be able to think of Peter Pan the same way.  I like him as an evil character!  I saw a Wendy and Pan ornament at the Disney store and immediately thought "Oh no!  He is evil!  Poor Wendy!!!". 

I have a question about Hooks brother's death.  Did he die because they left the island?  Does this mean Charming will die too if he leaves?  Or did I miss something?

Yup, Hooks' brother died because they left the island, and if Charming leaves the island, he will die too. But I think we all assume that they will figure something out, like a spell from Tink, Rumple, Regina, etc...

Pan completely freaks me out. I think they got an excellent actor for the part though--innocent looking boy, but pretty much the devil. And the accent!

I missed Rumple in this episode :( But he was featured pretty heavily in the last one, so I can't complain.

Who is in the other box?!

I didn't catch it that Regina was Ursula! Interesting! Well, Mr. Gold is Rumple, the crocodile, and the beast so I guess Regina can be multiple characters too ;)

I think I'm the only one who likes Neil :lol:

I'm also dying to know who is in the other box by Neil! Maybe Tink? Maybe someone we haven't seen before? Who knows! I'm so curious :P

Weren't people speculating that Regina was also Ursula sometime during the break between this season and last season? I'm not surprised though. XD

I'm still debating on whether or not to watch this season. I'm not a fan of Captain Swan at all and I think that will ruin it for me. :cry: Is this season better than last season? Should I give it a shot?

Okay, I am back in this again, I really enjoyed this episode and I've been wanting to see Ariel and Ursula since season one! =P

Like Marigold said, I also like Neil as Rumple's son.
But even though I've tried to I simply do not see him with Emma.
If she has to end up with one of them I do think she has much better chemistry with Hook.

Also, Cap Jones was super adorable in those flashbacks!
I wanted to pinch his face :D

Really enjoying all the scenes with Henry and Pan too :)

And I keep thinking how the actor who plays Peter would have made a great Joffrey in Game of Thrones :lol:

I don't understand why people hate Captain Swan, it kind of reminds me of how people hated Spike and Buffy being a couple and it still makes no sense to me. What is wrong with them? I like them being together than Emma and Neal as Killian has never hurt her as badly as Neal did. And let's not forget how he pretty much had no feelings for Emma anymore right until the end of last season when he found out his new fiancé was just using him. So.....wtf?!

I only have problems with Neal when he is with Emma as their love, to me, is just extremely weak. When he is Rumple's son or being Killian's adopted son I really like him.

I don't like them together. I just don't. There isn't anything wrong with disliking the pairing. I honestly don't think Emma deserves to be with anyone. She is probably my least favorite character in the show so that probably doesn't help either. :rolleyes: Sorry it just doesn't make sense to you. :shrug:

I despise love triangles, that is all I am saying about that.

I did love what they did to the Little Mermaid story; as I so often do with the changes they make to fairy tales. It does make me wonder what other fairy tales they will bring in, they haven't done Hansel and Gretel yet....that I recall, my memory is terrible.

I really liked the episode! Love the twist on The Little Mermaid story even if things went really fast between her and Eric :P I'm glad we'll be seeing more of Ariel next week! I'm slowly beginning to like Emma/Hook after his confession of love. Aww, it was so sad. I don't think Emma will ever love him back :(

I didn't like the Ariel storyline, and I'm bummed. Maybe it was the actress? And the part where the Ursula statue chokes Regina through the mirror? That was super corny. The whole 'have me met before? no? okay, travel the world with me' was *weird*, however, Eric mentioned Agrabah, so maybe Jasmine is next??

Emma & Hook, oh my word. Be still my heart, his 'dark secret' was...I think I stopped breathing while he was talking LOL

Neal saying that he's not going to stop fighting for her? CREEPER lol

So filler. Also, they kind of were like OOH LET'S SAVE NEAL... but then no mention of Henry really...  and Snow had never met Neal and was all "Go to him, baby, get your happy ending." Um...what? My parents wouldn't say that about a partner they had never met, especially one who had got me pregnant age 17/18 and then left me in prison, not looking for me for 10 years. What?

Yeah. I didn't get to see the first few mins to see who wrote this episode. There were a few other dialogues that I just kinda shook my head in shame over. Hubby was sitting on the computer not wanting to listen but was listening and he had a few choice words too...

So much this! That is one of my biggest issues with the show, that it is blindly trying to push Emma and Neal together when , once you think about it, there are so many reasons that they shouldn't be together and it is for those reasons that you think her parents would try to keep them apart. I hate how Snow and Charming are so narrowed minded sometimes and...yeah, there are just some real issues I have with this show.

And amen to Regina for finally ditching the Charmings to get things done! She is the only one who seems focused on getting things done rather than going off on random adventures that are pointless in the long run.

Ariel was very cute but I still was very disappointed by this episode.

Her romance with Eric was kind of blah...

I think my expectations were a little too high as I've waited for the Ariel character since the start and childhood headcanons are hard to live up to :P

My SO had this really cool theory too that her love interest would have been Hooks brother, it may not have made sense but I liked the idea of it :)

I did like Regina as Ursula, she really went all out on the speech and movements.
I also actually liked the way they did the story, with the bracelwts and the voice and tragedy, felt like a nice mix of original and animated version, so logically I think it was good but I did not feel it for some reason.

But now im babbling because I am sleepy... Gnight!

I liked Ariel, but Eric was sort of just there.  Then again, in the movie he doesn't do all that much but we at least get to see them doing things together.  I think that is the only thing bothering me about him.  We didn't get to see them interacting.  I did like the way they interpreted her loss of voice and what it meant to the plot line.  I wonder how long it was ago that this happened.  I must have been quite a while she has been without a voice and without seeing Eric.

I'm pretty sure they're more using the Disney movies as a basis, just because they actually use the names Ariel and Eric, plus the name Belle and such. They use all the names from Disney movies. But what I find interesting is that we now have a princess who never reached the 'end' of her story. All the others did: Cinderella married her prince, so did Snow, Aurora was awoken after the curse was ended, Jasmine hasn't been brought into it, and Belle loves the "Beast", who loves her back.... Those are the more famous princesses, and they got the resolutions to their stories at one time or another..... except for Ariel. She hasn't gotten EITHER close to her story. No happily ever after, nor did the prince choose another and her turn to bubbles.... So we're definitely going to have some interesting development with her I think.

I loved the original story of the mermaid so much as a child but always freaked out at the end where she was abandoned and turned into seafoam, my babysitter made up an extended ending saying how she found companionship with other foam people that treated each other better than mermaids or humans did :XD:

I did love that Regina and Rumple are teaming up!
Going to be fun to see what happens there.

Totally agree that it feels out of place for Snow to be so pushy about finding Neal, and for Emma to prioritize finding out what is up with that over finding Henry.

What is the Emma x Neal ship called anyway? Eeal? =P

You missed part of the story. Her body turned to foam, but she gained a spirit which arose up into to the air and joined other air spirits. These spirits eventually earn a way into heaven.  Your version may have missed this part. It's heavily religious and has a moral.  You'll have to go read it for the full ended.

Snow is super annoying though, ugh. I liked her in the first and second seasons, but this season she's just awful, bleh. Loved all the scenes with Ariel and it would be awesome if Ariel and Belle became best friends ^.^ Ariel didn't seem to have any trouble walking around in high heels ;)

Let's discuss, ask random questions and post some pics!


Who else is having withdrawl symptoms since season 1 is done? :wacko:

Yeah, I was sad that they killed off the Huntsman  :bawl: (he was my favorite character), but I still kept watching, it is a good show. In fact, this is the first "new" show that I have watched in 15 years!

What's the theory for what's going to happen in season 2?

We do have a small bit of appreciation here for OUAT on the arena. :bateyes: If you're looking for spoilers for season 1, you most certainly will get them within the first dozen or so pages...
We've been a bit quieter with season 3, but I guess we're not as confused as we were with what was happening in season 2.  :flash:

Oh gosh yes, if he's gone then I'll be very sad. Ummm, I thought some one was supposed to die once his heart was removed? I had a fun thought that henry would rip out pan's heart, can't believe he fell for it... Need a few weeks to recover...

I think only if the heart is crushed then they die. Cora removed her heart and had it in box for a long time and Regina had Graham's heart as well. That would have been awesome if Henry had ripped out Pan's heart XD

His dad is the first character I have seen as being truly bad.  Most of the others you see sympathetic story lines that show a transformation from being good to going bad and then their struggles with becoming a good person again.  But with Pan he seemed like a terrible dad and his seems like an emotionless psychopath as Pan.  Maybe they will write more story to give him something good, but I wonder if he is going to be the true villain.

I totally agree with you Marigold! Pan is so selfish. FTL has so many villians though, and if Pan is the biggest and baddest how are they going to keep this show afloat for another few years... LOL

I was sure Pan was his father since a while back, but I have to credit StoryDreamer's podcast for that, not sure if I would have thought of it otherwise.

I also thought that Henry would take Pan's heart instead of his own!

But as he did not I still have a different theory….

Spoiler
Pan has showed multiple times that anything you think and believe you can create in Neverland, Henry has seen this ( It's possible he even saw what happened moments before with Rumple. My theory is that he did not take out his own heart, but rather created a fake heart to fool Pan with and distract him in order to save both himself and his parents in the long run.

I might be way off on this one, but that's what I am thinking ^^;

Anyway, I enjoyed this episode a lot, little boy Rumple was adorable :P :heart:

Spoilers ahead!
How did everybody feel about this evening? Are you prepped for the cliff-hanging disaster coming next week?

Good episode; didn't feel it was missing anything. So glad Henry is out of the box! It's sad that the Blue Fairy is dead. Wonder if Tink will step up to take her place... Sometimes the ftl flashbacks are kinda corny...

As a side note...
When Barbara Eden was pregnant during the first season of I Dream of Jeannie you barely noticed; costumes did a great job of hiding it and they didn't really show side shots of her. (Did any of you know that? Yep useless info for the day.) You can very much tell that Ginny is showing; costume dept needs to step it up for the rest of the season...

Umm... let's look at the other ways to travel between worlds... Magic beans (destroyed by Regina), magic portals (all magic trees gone), feathers from the wings of a Pegasus (gone). Mermaids can travel between realms/worlds. I'm going to go with the mermaid theory and that Hook can hold his breath for a looooooong time. Can't wait for the back tracking for this one. Almost all the magic in FTL was "gone" when Regina enacted the curse. Ha!

OH and Greg/Owen would still be ALIVE in Neverland if those that had their shadows returned would be able to live again... Hmmmmm.....

The Blue Fairy came back after all, can't there be some sort of way for him to come back? Maybe he won't be dead in fairy tale land? I was just so shocked and sad... Rumple... :cry:

If you checked my spoiler on the last page I'm afraid dead is dead. He is gone.
If they find some way to bring Rumple back then they've got to bring Graham back from the dead (this is essential to the continuation of this show for another decade that they both be alive :nod:). I don't think they're gonna dig him up from the forest that Storybrooke is now and Rumple disappeared into thin air...

They said dead is dead…they also said no greek myths, right? ;)

Blue Fairy….Medusa…..Pegasus?

I do love this show; but I have a strong suspicion that they really are making it up as they go along sometimes, I would not be surprised if the main cast eventually took a trip to Hades and met up with all of the dead characters down there :P

Unfortunately this seems to be the trend in television now-a-days. Kill off central characters and replace them. This season Red completely disappeared. You just have a central character poof disappear. Frustrating. There's an understanding that there will be new characters with this show as there are fairy tales that are yet to be explored. It's too bad that fans are lost because of this...

Yes, they have to be writing as the season goes on. There's still a bit of filming to go and as I mentioned earlier Ginny is pregnant and I really want to know if the whole "I want to have another baby" storyline will follow along now with rest of this season... Time for a few willynilly ep's and fillers...

Hopping in on the convo here! This ^^^^ Rumple was seriously the BEST written character on this show. His character has so much depth and interesting background. I'm not sure I'll like the show without him. So I really hope they bring him back. I don't think flashbacks are enough, either.

I have thought about this a bit more. I've been avoiding fan chatter as much as possible and any spoilers. I do think the show will suffer a huge blow in the fan base and will definitely not be the same without Rumple. Eddie and Adam got a lot of "not nice" mail when they killed Jamie off the show. I can't imagine the backlash they're still getting now from killing Rumple. At least we have the benefit of flashbacks with his character as he was very active in ftl. But now we're going to Oz so it can fill a void..... Nah...

I was looking at the cast sheet on IMDB for season four.. and Carlyle is still on there.. so there's hope for that. but who knows.... then again I also heard a rumor... and mind it is a RUMOR so i have NO earthly idea if its true or not.. that Hayden Christensen will be guest staring as someone in season four..which kinda makes me happy if its true cus..hayden's hot. (even if he cant act)... but honestly at this point.. considering they said everything disney owns is up for grabs in OUAT.. im not putting ANYTHING past them.

Rumple disappeared, so there is lots of room to bringing him back.  There was no funeral, no body, no burial, so I have hope that he is not dead.  Plus he is the Beast, and the Beast in Beauty and the Beast does get a happy ending.  The Beast dies but then is reborn into his human state.  It is his destiny.  Also, Henry is supposed to be his undoing and he hasn't been "undone".  I took it to mean Henry would help him break his curse and this ending really didn't include Henry directly.

Yup. I totally agree! I think rumple will get a happy ending because he is righting his wrongs. So I don't think he's dead...which also means pan probably isn't dead either. But they'll find some way to bring rumple back I'm sure. And not just in flashbacks.

I'm curious what going back to fairytale land will do to Regina. Now that Henry isn't there to connect them all, I'd have to assume that Regina will be left out again. But maybe not... I hope she doesn't go back to her evil ways...I think she's grown a lot as a character. But that was all done for Henry, and now that she doesn't have Henry....well...

Ready, ready, ready! Prepping for a new round of my Once Upon a Time podcast (we just recorded our 73rd episode!), and will FINALLY FINALLY be processing all my feels from the winter finale!!

I can't wait to see Regina and Snow's relationship evolve, the Enchanted Forest, and other things!

Ack. That's all I've got.
I have to laugh my husband asked a bit before the show if they've been to Sherwood Forest with Robinhood and if there was the headless horseman yet. I said yes to Robinhood and had to point him out as they show progressed. He actually half watched with me and made his own (not so pleasant) commentary...

Spoiler
Only a year in the enchanted forest and they're forced back to Storybrooke?
The flying monkeys are computerized? Bah. I am disappointed. I was hoping for actual costumes...
Ok, so Emma takes Henry back to Storybrooke, new curse yadda yadda yadda. That aspect is getting a bit old.
How are they going to work an infant into the show...?

Yep, knew that one, LOL. They tried the last few episodes before the break to hide the fact, but she was showing already then. Since it seems that they're still writing by the seats of their pants I wonder if they'll give up trying to return home... I was really looking forward to some new sets (lots of trees-woot) and more period costumes...

It freaked me out when Emma's boyfriend was a flying monkey!! :shocked:

I thought the episode was pretty good (though confusing at the end) and I have hope Rumple will be back! I'm hoping Robin Hood and Regina get together, aww. That would be sweet, Regina needs someone! Wasn't Robin Hood the man with the lion tattoo that Tink tried to hook her up with?

Yes, Robin is Regina's soul mate or whatever the term used was. :D I'm excited ! "He smells like forest !". (paraphrasing) Ahaha. Don't fight it, Regina.

The episode really has me pumped up. I was interested and excited from start to finish. Emma and Henry were extra cute, after all that time they've had alone together to bond.

Flying Monkey boyfriend freaked me out, too. 8 months (wasn't it ?) getting snuggly with THAT ?

Does anyone else find it interesting that Henry was the first one to know who everyone in Storybrook was, and now he is the last to remember. I wonder how they're going to convince him, or if he will just remember. Or if they'll get another potion for him. I'm curious to see how that goes.

Also, this was a good episode and I'm excited for the next season...but I did notice Rumple's absence. So I hope they find a way to bring him back....it seems like Belle and Baelfire may be working on that.

Mulan and Aurora's actresses are both on new shows, and have very little parts, and I doubt they're going to be on the show much at all. I think they're phasing them out. It was a shame, as I liked Mulan/Aurora.

At least we can look forward to maybe small cameo's in the future from the dozen or so characters that have popped in and out... Yeah, I like how Regina was absolutely repulsed by Robinhood...

About time for it to be back!!! I also really like the Wonderland version. Its been really interesting watching that one.

A new season hasn't started. :) They were just on a hiatus !

It depresses me how little love that show gets. It's sad, but I don't look for it to make a second season. :( I really hope they let the best characters join Once - like Jafar.

I mean, I'd believe she was from The Enchanted Forest. But she had to steal Regina's blood, remember? So I don't believe her claims of being Regina's sister. I won't believe it until we get some actual proof. Also.... being dead was not good to Rumple. He's looney toons now! And is he even the Dark One anymore?? I mean... he stabbed himself with the Dark One's dagger, and that's the only way to kill the Dark One.

I think I'm to the point where I can't take anymore weird familial relationships with this show. I agree, I don't think that Regina/WW are related. I've been a bit cynical with this season maybe I'll warm up after a few more episodes...

Can't wait for more Rumple, between his character, Henry and Hook they're the reasons I keep watching!!

I was trying to figure out what was going on at that point. I was thinking squid ink or something else. One of those after the fact things that come together... So yeah blood = a way to figure out relation...

I guess we've gone over the fact that Rumple may not have really been dead, but according to him "dead is dead" so I want to know what happened...

I think maybe that's what the WW wanted the blood for?

Hey! So excited for the new season! Ah, the sister thing... the relationships in this show are so confusing, family tree or family spider web? It's a little soap opera-y but I still like it. Can't wait to see more Rumple... I'm a hook fan too, and I like Regina more and more. I love how you can see the evil and the good in her.

I can't remember what happened to Rumple... other than I thought he was dead...

I didn't like episode at all :( I've been waiting for Rapunzel and it seems like they made the seen more about David than her! At least Ariel had two episodes and even though Snow was a major part, I didn't feel like Ariel was a character they just threw in because she's a fairy tale character. It felt that way with Rapunzel >_<

I know I'm nitpicking, but I also have issues with her not having blonde hair! The actress was beautiful, but Rapunzel is supposed to have golden hair (the same thing irks me with Aurora. She's also supposed to have golden hair!)

I enjoyed the scene with Rumple though at least. And the part when Henry and Regina were taking a walk and talking.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread *Spoilers*

Ok, finally got to see it :)

I liked Rapunzel a lot and like Shenanigans I wish she would have gotten a bit more screen time… But who know's maybe she'll be coming back into the story somehow?

I did like that she rescued herself, I thought that was a nice twist to the story, even though David helped… I think I would have rather she came to the conclusion on her own more :/

Certainly was a creeper episode, but I enjoyed it :)

Some listeners of my podcast were chatting with me and my cohost about Robin Hood, the Wicked Witch, and Regina/Robin. I can't wait to record this theory tonight, but basically, we're questioning if Robin is working for the WW?

We haven't seen his kid in Storybrooke at all. Regina and Emma are always saying "Make sure Henry is safe or take care of Henry" but Robin mentions nothing about his kid. He also sent David in Enchanted Forest to get that night root to vanquish his fears. He knew immediately where the tunnels to the castle began - though it was just a big empty piece of land - to find Regina. He was just hanging out in Rumple's castle..  there's more, but I'll link to a post about it later.

Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread *Spoilers*
Post by: CoonhoundBetty on March 27, 2014, 08:05:50 AM
Interesting theory...Robin Hood steals from the rich to give to the poor. So trick Regina whilst really helping the WW? Maybe? Last week's episode really creeped me out, like with the dementors from HP.

Post by: Marigold on March 27, 2014, 10:37:56 AM
I don't think he is evil.  I don't think he understood what the root was about.

It was only meant as a bridge show - like 7 episodes run during the winter, then they expanded it to a full season, but I don't believe it was meant to have a season 2. I could be wrong though.

The first episode was not very good.  But if you kept watching it got better and felt less "gimmicky".  I thought it was doing good now but maybe no one stuck around to see what happened.

I'm kind of annoyed with Emma. Granted, I'm not a mother.. but I think Henry DESERVES his memories of his life and family besides her.. especially those of his father. :(

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way they can get them back yet. They tried making a memory potion. Rumple could do it probably but he's gone. They need to call the Blue Fairy!

I think the book will stir the memories like they made Emma see the magic in the season 1 finale.

I was totally thinking of the book too. I'll bet that's what brings Henry's memories back.

The series was a little goofy-  but worth watching I think,  I agree it seems to have gotten better over time.

I wasn't shedding any tears over Neil, sad he died, yep. But Emma obviously doesn't have the greatest taste in men, givin that she fell in love with a winged monkey so fast after Neil.

Plus the Hook character is more interesting, and hotter, let's face it.

I never liked the Neil and Emma pairing, but I still loved Neil as a character and as Rumple's son and Henry's father.
Totally cried! :(

And sure, I like generally like Hook too, but right now he's just being whiny and annoying, give her some space dude!
I hope the show gives her time to handle her grief before shoving her towards another love interest  :|

Oh, I know... but from what I recall (it's a busy and crazy week for me and I haven't been enjoying the show much these last two episodes) she just seemed very "I'm taking Henry back to New York ASAP the sooner the better and is getting his memories back really for the best", etc, etc, in this last episode. It just rubs me the wrong way, especially now that Neal is dead.

Was I the only one just rolling my eyes during the long Neal death scene, thinking, "Just shut up and die already!"? I didn't mind a young Neal(back when he was just Bae), but they really turned him rather whiny since going to Neverland and I just couldn't stand him anymore.

I am already sick of the Wicked Witch of the West storyline. I think the actress playing Zelena is just overdoing it a bit; she was much better playing the villain-ish character in LOST. And I just cannot wait for this arc to be over and done with.

how long has lana had that scar on her upper lip? for some reason ever since they returned back to storybrook it stood out to me. how have i not notice it before? cause now it really sticks out and im noticing it all the time whenever they show regina.

not a fan that they did kill off neal and that henry isnt able to remember him so he can truly grieve over him. also i hope they didnt kill neal so they can "hook" emma up with hook.

zelena is a bit of an odd bird. how did she get her hands on rumples knife? will we ever learn who her real father is. remember young cora and rumple did have a thing going on before she went to marry the king, so maybe the two got it on and she ended up pregnant. hid it from the king and abandon the baby so she can later having the kings baby.

when is regina going to accept that robin is her true love. cant she tell how well he is being to her and they get along. get that drink already!

Oh my god, this.

I hate the character, and the actress is just the worst.  Maybe she's good in other stuff, but it's like she's just reading the lines in this.  I have mild dyslexia, and I am terrible at reading out loud in particular.  But I still do, because I have kids.  And literally the way she delivers lines sounds like me reading out loud.

Neal and Belle brought Rumple back, due to Neal dieing from a curse for bringing back the Dark One, Rumple was left at a vulnerable moment for Zelena to snatch up the knife. She used Luimere to trick Neil into bringing back Rumple without knowing the concequence for that kind of dark magic.
Regina seems to already have accepted Robin. She trusted him to watch over her Heart.

Caught up again and excited for tonight's episode!

Glad to finally get the why of the Wicked Witch... Its a bit of a stretch but I love the villains in this series, horrible and over the top but also kinda relatable... I think it would be hard not to be a least a little awful if someone spurned you and you had super awesome powers. I also love how almost all the good people don't have magic but they fight so hard for what's right. It's all so relatable while being so unbelievable at the same time. It's good times. Plus: Hook ('nuff said?) and maybe if they do the do-over curse we'll get a few more dashing-young-men back.

I finally watched the episode when Neil dies, it was very sad! Even though Neil started to annoy me towards the end I was sad to see him go. But if he had to go so Rumple could come back then that's ok ;) But poor Rumple. He created the whole curse and everything just to get his son back and now he's dead :( Wish Henry could remember everything.

I think it's interesting how Zelena turned green and I really like her back story :) Makes her more relatable I think. I want to see Hook and Emma together :heart: Didn't expect that towards the end with "Ariel" :shocked:

Does anyone know why Hook remembers everything but no one else does?

Hook was beyond the boundaries of the curse, and not involved in the first curse, so it didn't catch him.

You both aren't the only ones, for sure.. I can't stand Zelena at all and haven't really enjoyed an episode for awhile now. I'm currently much more interested and invested in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Game of Thrones, and waiting for Castle to come back from hiatus..

And sometimes I really love villains so it's not that I only ever like the good guys.

So...King Leo is Snows dad right?  He married Ava, her mother who was evil/bratty because she told on Cora (even though we never clearly knew if Cora was in love with King Leo or just in it for the money/power/royalty).  And then when Ava dies Cora arranges for King Leo to fall for Regina and make her his queen right?  Thus Regina becomes Snow's evil stepmother. 


Doesn't the King recognize Cora or does he never know who Regina's mom is?  Or does he just not care?  And have we met Regina's dad?  I forget. 
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread *Spoilers*
Post by: Vertefae on April 22, 2014, 08:25:40 PM
Yes Leo is Snows dad .

And yes Cora sets up Regina and Leo.

We have met Regina's dad, his name is Henry. Regina had to kill him to make the curse work.

But I thought Regina's dad was the prince of that other kingdom? When Cora learned magic, met Rumple and all that? Remember, she married a prince then after spinning straw into gold, and she has the presentation of Regina? She even said "Her name is Regina, for one day she will be Queen".

Post by: Shenanigans on April 22, 2014, 10:11:25 PM
Yes, Cora's husband was a prince I believe, but her husband was not first in line for the throne so she wanted Regina to marry a king. I think! XD It's getting confusing :P

And I kinda felt sorry for Zelena getting all into that kiss and Rumple just trying to distract her to grab the dagger :P

Oh yeah, I forgot Cora marries a prince (the whole straw into gold story).  But it is still strange King Leo doesn't acknowledge who she is as Regina's mom if they had a love affair.

I was thinking wouldn't it be funny if Snow's baby is Dorothy and then Emma would be Auntie Em.  But then I realized Emma would be her sister not her aunt.  Does Emma have a niece anywhere that could be Dorothy?  How is the baby part of the Oz story?

Post by: babyblueducky on April 23, 2014, 02:16:27 PM
Henry. Maybe Henry is Dorothys Uncle. Even though I have no idea how that would work. Emma did mention the Wizard of OZ, because she saw the flying monkey. I wonder what else we will see thats from OZ, lion, tinman, scarecrow? What about the ruby slippers? Zelena wears gold slippers that does the same as the ruby, but maybe they are a bit different. I think we will be seeing Glinda, so who knows how she will help. Unless its a flashback and not a present Glinda we will be seeing. What if a tornado hits Storybrook and a house lands on Zelena?

I have no clue how any of this is going to work out. It is hard to tie all the pieces together to know what it going on.

King Leo probably doesn't recognize Cora because its like almost 20+ years later after where they left off. Not really knowing everyones ages, because Snow looks like she isnt much younger than Regina, but we know there is a big gap in age when Snow was like 12 or 13 if not younger when Regina saved on. Unless magic made her youthful looking, Regina could be older than she looks.

According to the wiki, he was a prince, fifth in line to be king. http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Valet

It's getting a bit soap opera-y.

I like shows like this, but I don't like how they go on for so long and so many seasons that you don't get a resolution for a very long time so they have to keep coming up with new conflicts and continue the old conflicts. 

I agree with the lack of conclusion/closure in TV shows...I have been watching the original Dark Shadows TV show and that one had tons of mini plots in it and they NEVER seemed to really conclude the previous ones just slipped into something different.  Really irritating.

I just started watching OUAT and I love it!  I just finished season 2 on Netflix, gonna have to wait on season 3 and the Wonderland spinoff though I guess. 

I know I am way behind many of you since I haven't been watching it since it came out (and am only up to the end of season 2) but: I really like Rumplestiltskin/Gold and Belle.  Regina is getting annoying and overdone I think-love the actress, just wish she would pick a side and stay there.  Snow White and Charming kind of are too...kind of anticlimactic now, like them much better in FTL.  Hook is loveable and annoying at the same time.  Tamara and Greg are weak characters.  I am kind of glad Cora is gone even though her background with Rumple was interesting.  I love how everyone is ending up connected.  One ridiculous family tree with the Gold/Show White & Prince Charming/Regina/Cora family ties going on.  I wish Aurora' plot wasn't so weak (favorite Disney princess).  I love that they brought back Bae/Neal.

And seriously please tell me that they stop killing the eye candy?  I really like Rumple but dang...Hook, Graham, Bae, Charming, August...I know they all aren't gone but they need to stop lol. 

mlp4me: I always wondered who your sig and avatars were...and now I know lol.

I'm wondering if killing Zelena reverses the current curse?! But from the previews it looks like she somehow still succeeds to go back in time.
I almost think Rumple is still too far gone mentally at this point after everything with Bae. Belle is going to have to open her eyes. He is the dark one after all...

LOVE the redemption Regina... it's like Darth Vader in reverse.  I think if I had magic, I'd totally be a Regina, I'd do good, then bad, then spend the rest of my life trying to redeem myself. I'm a pretty follow the rules person, but so much power would go to your head I'd bet, especially if a loved one got killed. I asked the hubby this and he said he'd always be a hero and gave me a strange look. He totally would, my charming. Even Snow slipped though, so whatever.

Where is the green going to takes us?! Back in time? Will we get our boys back? Come ON next week! Nervous about being left wondering for next season...  but I also can't wait!

This.

Aaaand...*Throws over table* It looks like they are going back to the past and if I have to put up with Captain Overactingpants(a.k.a Zelena) AGAIN I am going to be so very angry. I was okay with Regina trying to give her a second chance, but I ultimately cheered when Rumple knifed her and to put up with her again? No, just...no.

I honestly think they are going to the past or they are going to Oz, those are my best guesses and the only one I like is Oz. The past is what they are most likely going to do from the flashes in the trailer of Emma in a princess get-up and fancy cloak and Hook in a...um...non-[iratey outfit, not sure what to call what he was wearing, but it wasn't his usual get up.

They're making a big deal in the commercials about how we "went from Neverland to Oz, NY back to Storybrooke"... "find out where we're going to next" I think it's somewhere we haven't seen before, or have barely seen. ABC's website does say "Emma and Hook are pulled into Zelena's time portal and find themselves in the Enchanted Forest of the past."

I don't think they're going to OZ either. I think it's either somewhere new or back in time. From the abc website you posted it sounds like back in time! That may be neat.

Ugh. If they screw up all the work they've done with Regina, I am going to be beyond annoyed and cry "lazy storytelling". She's come so far. Surely they can't just have her revert back 100% ?

I hope Emma's poison doesn't claim Hook as well. I really enjoy him ! Every guy she's been with has not fared well.

I have never been a fan of Rumple/Belle. I think he treats her badly and she deserves better. Especially after recent events. But so many people shriek me down over that opinion, so I guess I'm alone with that.

As long as Elsa is handled well (forever judging their choices with Rapunzel and the Wicked Witch of the West), I don't mind a bit and I'm really excited ! Frozen's not even in my top 10, either.

Wait, wait, wait...

Spoiler
So Maid Marian was executed by Regina, right?  Robin SURELY had to know that.  Why on earth would he EVER date Regina in the first place?  I mean, no.  Just no.

...but what if he didn't know?  If Marian wasn't brought back from the past, he would have continued dating Regina and most likely would have found out that she killed Marian.

It would have never worked!

...so Emma brings back Marian, Regina hates Emma now...but it's still all Regina's fault.  Bah!

...aaaaaaaand....

Why did the Dark One have Elsa in a bottle?  Hmmm....

I have no idea who this Elsa is.
Is this based on a Grimm's Tale or just something Disney came up with?
(FYI-I'm not much of a fan of CGI movies so I've been out of the loop on a lot of new children's movies.)

I really enjoyed all two hours! :o)

I feel like re-watching old episodes to just remember/figure out what Robin had originally said had happened to Marian. I thought she was sick and died...

Elsa is loosely (extremely loosely) based on The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen.  Basically the only similarities is that Elsa is a Queen...has freezing powers...and someone gets their heart frozen.

You are lucky that you have no idea what Frozen is. It is seriously one of the worst movies and very overrated. Though I admit much of my rage towards that movie might come from the fact that I worked retail at a toy store when it came out and...basically, you just learn to hate that movie and everything related to it.

Elsa... ah, I couldn't figure it out... I was like White Witch from Narnia? I haven't seen Frozen. I googled and it was based on The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen. I'll have to see if I can get it from the library.

Oh REGINA, you try so hard to be good but stuff keeps happening and then you try so hard to get even which just makes things worse... oh dear. I hope she handles this a bit better, especially after loosing Henry and him just getting his memories back thanks to true love's kiss.

Anyone else think it's weird that Emma is the sole parent of Henry now? She's only raised him for a year, while Regina raised him for the rest of his life, and yes, she was a evil queen but she didn't steal Henry and was a decent parent and Henry still loves her so why doesn't he spend time with Regina and why doesn't Regina get any say in where Henry lives?  You'd think that they'd have visitation like Henry said he wanted when he was talking to Hook.

LOVE Emma and Hook. Hook's so dashing...  Also loved Emma's crack about Regina's pant suits. Hehehe...  Also, Emma should try to use that wand again and bring Regina's love back to the future, but I guess that's too easy and too complicated.

I personal can't wait to see what they do. They are in talks with Kristen Bell to play Anna. Here's hoping they do a good job. I've pleasantly surprised with how much I like the show lately.

I am sharing my rage over it, which comes with threads about fandoms. If you don't like my opinion, then don't read it; it is that simple. We came here to share our opinions and I am sharing mine. I am not going to act like I love something just because other people do because I should be able to share my opinion.

The fact of the matter is bringing Frozen into this series is just lazy writing and shows that that the series is trying to ride the hype of the movie. There are plenty more fairy tales that they could have used and yet they skip over them all and go straight to Frozen? It just seems like a money grab to me and is not something I would have expected from this series, at least not so soon. It feel like they are selling out basically and I am not amused.

There is no point in raging over something over and over again. You said it once so saying it more than once just seems like you want to get something started.  They have done written what the next season is so there is no use crying over spilt milk.

Don't watch it anymore if you don't like what there doing.

I do not think it is lazy writing at all. I've read numerous interviews with the show runners and they truly like Frozen and want to do right by it. Fact is there are many people who DO like Frozen, so bringing it in will surely bring the ratings, yes. But since it is so well liked, it will be held to a higher standard. They wouldn't bring it in to be "lazy". If anything, they will need to work harder to make sure it's done well in order to keep the fan base from riot.

And while we all are entitled to our opinions, there are ways to go about expressing them without getting confrontational.

If it comes off that way, then that is the way it comes off. *Shrug*

I may not like it, and I am certainly skeptical of it because I don't want to watch a live action version of the movie, but that doesn't mean I will give it up just because I think they are making a poor choice. I am willing to give it a shot, but I have a sinking feeling this is the start of the end for this show. I still say it is lazy writing, even if they did like the movie because the timing of it just seems a little too convenient for my taste. Plus, do we really need another character like Regina? One that comes off as evil, but really isn't once you know her history? Because, when it comes right down to it in the interviews I read, that sounds like what they plan to do with Elsa and, I'm sorry, but that is lazy writing.

Well that's not how I've interpreted Regina at all. Regina never "seemed" evil....she was evil. And part of her still is, I'm sure. But she has made progress. The story with Elsa in the Frozen movie is vastly different as Elsa was NEVER evil, but was perceived as such because she couldn't control her power. On the other hand, Regina has always had control of her power and used it for evil ON PURPOSE. Seems like a huge difference to me.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread *Spoilers*
Post by: Midnight_Dream on May 12, 2014, 10:52:37 PM
Hm, matter of interpretation I guess. But honestly, if they did make Elsa pure evil I would be okay with that as in the original story she was evil. I'd like the whole "misunderstanding" aspect of her story to be taken out completely because that has been used so many times with villains that I am tired of it. It would be a bold step to make her fully evil and I have liked this show for the bold steps they have taken in the past in changing fairy tales, so I hope they continue to do so with hers.

This show doesn't need more misunderstood characters, they already have more than their fill. What they do need is more characters who embrace their darkness...sort of like Pan and Cora.

Post by: Shenanigans on May 13, 2014, 04:41:30 AM
Misunderstood characters tend to be my favorite :biggrin: So complicated sometimes. Torn between being good and evil (Rumple! ;) ) I love how Belle, as Lacey, brought out Rumple's bad side, but then he realized he needed good Belle the most. He really wants to be good, he just can't help being a little bad sometimes :biggrin: I think he's been the Dark One too long :P

I like misunderstood characters as well, but this show has an awful lot. I want a little...spice. Something different where I don't feel like I am getting the same thing again just in a different package. I would really like it if the Frozen story had Elsa as evil, maybe her heart is frozen like the boy's was in the original story, and the story is about getting it thawed, thus avoiding all the grey area of her possibly being and possibly not.

If it didn't affect the past, then Rumple likely either didn't care, or was okay with screwing up someone's future.  He does do well with other people are in dire straights. Emma on the other hand, "is just like her mother" and doesn't think of consequences. Emma totally owes Regina a free membership to eharmony!

That tea cup line was so sweet. Belle's going to be MAD when she finds out what Rumple's been up to. Oh sneaky sneaky boy...

Well..... at least she and Henry aren't leaving Storybrooke, so Regina will still have Henry around.... but yeah, Emma needs to FIX THIS. It's totally her fault, and as the product of true love and someone who has lost TWO relationships she should feel responsible for helping Regina and Robin fix things and figure out their future.

Wow, I just caught up with the show after coming back from a long trip.

I'm not sure what to think… feels like there is some shark jumping going on.

I totally agree that there is no way Robin could have missed the fact that his wife was (would have been ) killed by the evil queen.
Why would he be all flirty with Regina if he knew this unless it was some sort of revenge scheme all along.

I really really don't want them to make her go evil all over again and to me it really seems unrealistic if she does.

It also bothers me how flimsy Emma seemed in the last few episodes, she's acting almost as if she's new to all this stuff.
Suppose it has to do with the false memories, but it still seemed out of character to me.

I have no specific opinion on Elsa, I enjoyed Frozen well enough and this show seems to put a different take on all characters they use so we really can't know what to expect.
But it would be really neat to see Kristen Bell on the show.

I just hope they stop messing about with timelines and stuff.
It would be nice to get some things cleared up before they start putting new mysteries in, it's so difficult to keep trace of everything already.  :blink:

One thing:  Emma keeps talking about Storybrook as being home. I really hope that isn't the case. I want the Enchanted Forest to be the place they ultimately call home. Just feels weird when we know ALL the other charecters do not think of Storybrook as thier true home.

Poor Regina.  I think there will be some kind of resolution. Regina and Robin have true love and they can't take that away. It's just annoying they are doing the whole two lovers thing with Robin. Much like how Emma had Hook and Neil, but more complicated because Marion and Robin are supposed to be in true love. Plus they have a son. Something will ultimately change so that either the timeline is mixed up again or Marion is otherwise offed or transformed.

For her I think it is family and the people she has created bonds with in Storybrook, she needs to be close to them to feel home.

I guess I mean that she hasn't spend her time just in Storybrook.  She's been with her family all over different worlds.  It seemed strange for her to identify a place instead of the family itself wherever they might go or end up.

The princess leia joke was a  nice touch.
I dont know what to think about marion being back... or that emma was kinda of a feather brain on that.. they co ulda just left her loose in her own time.

The ending did win me 50.00.. but im not sure what to think of this.
Idont know if elsa is going to be evil..
I can make a few guess' tho...I hope Rumps is stocked up on de icer.
over all not bad.
more to come i hope!

There was also an article showing who has been cast as Anna and Kristoff.

I was so upset when Emma brought back Maid Marian. She and her son are honestly my least favorite characters in the show; Emma is a mary sue more and more and he son is just...blech. It would have been better if they cast a younger child perhaps. But my favorites have become Regina, Rumplestiltskin, Robin Hood, and Hook and after all the awful things Regina's been through it feels terrible to have her true love ripped away by stupid Emma. "I couldn't just let her die..." She had another day before her execution, she could have been saved by Robin Hood or another character who was destined to do so in the story in that time ):< What part of "Don't step on a butterfly" does Emma not understand?

So yay, I can actually record and watch the  upcoming season whenever I want (since I couldn't watch on abc.com towards the end of 3rd season- garble garble weird issues with not having a cable provider....)

Not in the loop with any spoilers. Not excited at all for the whole Frozen thing. Yes, I have my fakie dodging shield up. But I'm watching it through to the end... lol

Unfortunately the feel of season 1 has been lost. (I don't know how to describe it, that longing for the next episode,  many attractive male characters and a unified theme to keep things going...)

I really hope the Frozen thing doesn't over run the show. Unless Elsa is a bad a**. Now evil Elsa I'm all for. If they rehash the movie (which was meh to me) I'll be less then thrilled.

I agree with this. Season two kind of beat me down and dragged on for too long. Then season three started out better, but the part with Zelina just killed me. I actually started dreading the next episode during that arch and I have a gut feeling the Frozen arch will do the same. I just think they are going to milk it for all it's worth because the movie is so popular.

I finally saw Frozen due to a trade with some really awesome people (i gave them ponies, they gave me Frozen. it worked out!) and it was cute, but I don't understand the huge hype behind it....I think OUAT will do a good job with it, as they usually do. Some things feel like a stretch...like the entirety of Ariel in the series. She came up out of nowhere one day, and pops in when it's convenient for the writers?! there are a few things that make no sense, though it's really fun the way they've done everything else with the characters living in the same time/place and having their stories intertwined.
For Robin and Marion...I like to believe that she will die or go away in one fashion or another. since it's been shown and proven that Robin and Regina belong together, I have hope that they will end up that way.

Ah, heck, just bring back the huntsman, and then he can kill Marian... I'm just sayin'...
They have to bring back the rivalry between Regina and Emma and throw in some drama as they both try to win/keep Henry's affection...

I was okay with the Regina v Emma rivalry in the first season because it did make sense. Henry had been Regina's child for so long and suddenly this woman comes in that claims to be his real mother, so I can understand why she would be cross with her. But now I think it is getting as old as The Charmings v Regina.

I think that they are just trying to keep her and Rumple "evil" because they can't think of better villains and that deeply frustrates me. I really like this show, but if they keep this up I might have to give up on them.

I would LOVE if they brought back the Huntsman! or what about the Hatter?! and the Knave I thought was supposed to be coming over? i didn't care for OUAT: IW until the last episode or so but the Knave is always fun. he can leave the other Queen of Hearts at home though.

I hope they don't keep up all this blarg with Regina and Emma. Mother who raised him V Mother who gave birth to him and in an alternate reality did raise him...it's all so...just done.

don't jump the shark yet OUAT!

Of course they're going to ride on the popularity of frozen. I just want more grimm. Too much, too fast. I miss the character development of season 1, the mystery. They still back tracked too much this last season. I don't think eddie and adam are devoting enough time in the writing of episodes...

Agreed. They really back tracked with Emma in my opinion this last season. Her whole thing about wanting to go back to New York was too much like her not believing that the fairy tales were real in the first season. Maybe with Frozen they can go back to the feel of season one, who knows? It certainly would be more interesting if they took the bold, very bold considering the popularity of the movie, and made Elsa a villain.

Post by: Midnight_Dream on September 28, 2014, 09:58:54 PM
I don't know....I am a bit on the edge about this storyline, after being disappointed with Frozen's throne together storyline I have high expectations for OAUT and I am not hugely impressed so far. I see it going down as a Rumple had something to do with Anna disappearing, which lead to Elsa getting trapped, then some drama happens and we are back to Rumple being a villain again. *Sigh*

The only thing I am excited about is seeing who wrote the fairy tale book. I am going to laugh if it turns out to be a future Regina who is trying to give clues to her past self on how not to screw up. I have a strong feeling that is where they are going or something along those lines.

Over all I am not impressed and they have to really pull out the stops to make me as happy as the first part of last season did.

Post by: Starie on September 28, 2014, 10:07:42 PM
Im a little disappointed from the premier, I thought Elsa was going to be the villain but its looking like she'll be a misguided "villain" for a little while before she ends up joining forces with Emma and the crew to find Anna.

Honestly the only plot that intrigues me is the Marian/ Robin Hood storyline and the plan to find the book writer.

I'm severely done with the whole "Regina turns evil, struggle with herself" stuff. Its been overplayed, and while the first episode didnt disappoint me with this I'm scared it will turn back to it.

On the bright side I can always look forward to Hook and his quips, I love his character lol.

My favorite part was when Belle and Rumple were in the classic Belle/Beast clothes and dancing to Tale as Old as Time awwwwwww! ^.^ I just had a Rumbelle moment over it hehehe.

I enjoyed the episode and I thought Anna was adorable :) I'm curious about what the letter in the bottle is about and who wrote the story book. I'm another who wants Marion to die... lol. I want Regina to have her happy ending! It makes me hate Emma even more since she brought back Marion :P

Hmm... Elsa's story could be interesting in this. It has potential from its start, and I'm really glad Regina is doing her best to not be a villain, but isn't giving up on her happy end as well. She's trying to find her own answer and make a stand. I like that. I loved Sleepy being the designated driver! XD And the Sorceror's Hat! That was a cool scene!

I wish Anna and a Elsa weren't exactly like the movie. Did they really have to have exact costumes?  It was a little predictable and boring in my opinion. 

I did like Bo peep showing up. The Snow Queen was an interesting addition. It is like Disney decided to say "Frozen is nothing like the Snow Queen.  It's our original story and has nothing to do with the Anderson story. We take all credit as our own separate story. And look, see, the snow queen is someone else. Not Elsa. ".

Bo Peep! Is evil! OMG XD I love the Bo Peep character but she was kinda cool evil lol. It was creepy when she was hacking away at that meat though...

The Frozen characters act so much like the movie that I'm waiting for Elsa to sing Let it Go :lol: I noticed she said the cold never bothered her to Emma. Haha, nod toward the song :)

Aitsuki, I'm also wondering how Elsa got in that pot! And Rumple's basement XD

Post by: SwordPony on October 06, 2014, 08:52:32 AM
The only thing that really confuses me about the whole thing is Elsa had control of her powers at the end of Frozen. So why are they acting like because Anna isn't there Elsa has no control. She isn't going to regress that far into herself is she. I like Elsa so much because she is a great character. I don't like to see what Once is doing to Elsa. It kinda sucks. And while I like the show I'm almost disappointed with how they are going. It just doesn't make since to me really.

I will say that I loved Bo Peep as a bad guy. The actress that played her did an awesome job!!

I also like that they are making the Snow Queen a different character to Frozen's  Elsa.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread *Spoilers*
Post by: Midnight_Dream on October 06, 2014, 12:45:31 PM
Once again I am not impressed. I liked what they did to Bo Peep and the developments with Hook and Emma, but that was about it. I already predict that the Snow Queen showing up in next week's episode will turn out to be Elsa's mother and...ugh...I hate when I can predict things so easily. I just...Being only two episodes in and being this much of a let down I do not hold out much hope for the rest of the season.
Title: Re: The Official Once Upon a Time Discussion thread *Spoilers*
Post by: mlp4me on October 07, 2014, 04:28:50 PM
I think I have an advantage I've never watched Frozen so... So far I'm not annoyed by anything that Elsa's character has done. OMG Sidney! I knew he was around, but I wasn't expecting him to make an appearance; his devotion to Regina is sickening (LOL). A fair season opener. I like how Rumple just let it all out to Bae; we will see how his guilt plays out.
Lovin' the reindeer. More reindeer please.

Hopefully I will have time to watch the second episode still this week...

Glad to see Sidney again too! I really hope Regina sets him free and tries to make amends, feel so bad for the guy.

Not that into the frozen stuff yet, but I do like Anna, she is super cute, good casting on her :)

Loved Henry too and how he reached out to his mom, I want more Henry in the show!

The Beauty and the Beast scene was wonderful but I could not properly enjoy it knowing Rumple is still hiding stuff from Belle.
And also that they are in some random mansion?

I bet the mansion has something to do with the Frozen characters somehow.

Oh well, wait and see.

I actually think that was part of Rumple's house. He does have quite the estate.

I totally agree, Regina needs to free Sidney. She's had him detained for far too long; he's losing his wits!

I've been watching Once Upon a Time sporadically, I did go back and watch all of the first two seasons on Netflix but I was only able to catch a few episodes last season I need to see if the third season is on netflix so I can play catch up. I did watch the premiere (and the finale before it) not sure where they are going with things just yet, I was fairly happy with the casting though the Anna teaching Charming fencing was kind of odd  :blink: . I will say that overall it really didn't seem like I missed a whole lot last season I mean I know one character died but it doesn't seem like a whole lot of like character progression was made.

Belle made mention that the house didn't seem to be claimed yet but my thought on the house that Belle and Mr. Gold now live in was maybe it was the Mad Hatter's house? I seem to remember him having a pretty huge house and we haven't seen it since the first season (or was it the second). I loved Sebastian Shaw as the Mad Hatter unfortunately he may not be coming back to the series as he is now playing a fairly significant character in the Captain America movies and who knows what else in Marvel phase 2.

My sister was speculating it was Jefferson's house, actually. It was a bit away from the rest of the town, and it would make sense if that's whose house it was. I really do hope Sebastian Stan comes back, even for a brief cameo! I feel like there's a lot to his story that they could still work with.

My sister started watching the show in the spring (and I ended up kinda watching along), and I was 50/50 until I heard about Frozen. So far, I like what they've done with the characters. I think it makes sense that Elsa doesn't have complete control, especially considering the situation she's in. I didn't think she necessarily meant that Anna has to be by her side all of the time, but there's a big difference between "I'll see her in a little while" and "I'm in a strange place and my sister is gone and possibly in danger." Anyone would be freaked out if they showed up in a random town, only to find out that someone they're very close to is in trouble.

So this mysterious powerboost thing Rumple is after, do you think it would turn him into Chernabog? :o


The captain hand thing did not make much sense to me.
He wasn't really evil before he lost his hand, right?
Not good, but more of just a regular thug, not until rumple took his hand did he start to do more evilish stuff for revenge.
Or am i misremembering?

Either way the hand seemed to be more of a dumbo's feather.
"You were bad all along you just needed to belive!"

Oh I wonder if Dumbo will show up :)

She was Ms. Claus in Santa Claus 2...

I think this was it!! I watched all those movies last Christmas with our Japanese daughter/foreign exchange student!

I liked last weekend's episode. Lots of laugh out loud moments and fun twists!

I'm glad to see Henry being more a part of the story :) Seems like they were phasing him out a bit at the beginning of this season and we didn't really see all too much of him when he lost his memories with the whole Zalina thing. He was such a huge part of the story to begin with and I felt sad we hadn't seen much of him. I think it'll be interesting with him being Rumples apprentice :)

And I hope Regina gets her happy ending! I knew Robin was still in love with her :biggrin: :heart:

I agree with you sooo much! I know the "main" characters are the focus in these stories but I really wish the others would at least be a little bit more involved.
Ruby was amazing, I especially miss her and Belles interactions together, heck Belle barely gets any screen time anymore except as a human accessory to Rumple  :hmm:

I also want more Tinkerbelle!
And what in the world happened to the fairy/nun that Grumpy had a crush on?

I understand it's not really important to the storyline, but I kinda liked those two…

Anyway, I hope I don't sound too complainy. I am very happy for getting more Henry, I like Henry :nod:

I get what you're saying. There's a whole plethra of characters to keep track of and we want to know what's going on with them! Unfortunately many of the actors have roles on other series and just can't find the time to commit to OUAT.

I too enjoyed Astrid's interractions with Grumpy.

By the way, the scenes with Emma as a girl took place in Hopkins, MN- just a few miles from my house! They have a cute main street with some antique shops that I hunt for ponies in a few times a year.  :biggrin:

Speaking of which!

Did anyone else react to the Harry Potter reference in the flashback of the episode?

How old is Emma supposed to be?

I know the flashback was supposed to be around 98 or so when the first book would technically have been released already, but they were talking about it like a "household name" which seemed to me quite strange since it would have still been such a new thing.

Especially the way they lived I wonder how they would have had the money and time to get a chance to read the book in the first place…

I don't know, I guess it makes sense, it just made me feel old and that's probably why I got hung up on it =P

The whole thing with Ingrid's past is so confusing though…
I hope it will make sense eventually but for right now it is simply making my head hurt trying to figure out how the timing lines up with everything…

The highlight of the show for me was Rumple confronting the Snow Queen in her hideout.
The scene was so serious and tense and then all of a sudden he just pulls out the giant magical cartoon hat and I could not stop myself laughing!  :haha:

Probably alone in finding that hilarious, but I did have fun 

Fiancé was counting himself lucky that I was not drinking any beverage at the time….:blush:

I think it was season 2. Belle went hunting for the yaoguay (or however you spell it lol) which kinda looked like a fiery lion beast. She and Mulan tracked it down and Belle, instead of killing it, figured out it needed help and used fairy dust to reveal he was Prince Phillip. One of my favorite eps! That's how Mulan and Phillip ended up going on journeys together :) Belle was going to go back to Rumple but then Regina captured her and locked her up. Poor Belle, she's been locked up most her life :P

Because Regina manipulated it to distract Rumple. Belle already had a personality; she was a patient in a psych ward. She wasn't supposed to be Lacey, the violent person..... Lacey might have been her name, but that wasn't what she was supposed to be. Probably supposed to be the librarian.

2. Hook
3. August

I'm going with Neil, his features are very appealing to me, maybe because his face reminds me of my fiancés face a bit.

The funny thing is I was very annoyed when they first introduced him as adult baelfire in the show, I didn't like him together with Emma at all in the beginning, but more so because of the writing at that time I think.

He won me over though and I was really rooting for him there at the end… :(

Helps that you've picked a Scottsman and two Irishmen... I for one find the Irish accent just a tad more appealing over Scottish... I know there's not much of a difference.

Post by: KarentheUnicorn on December 15, 2014, 03:09:42 PM
(sorry I'm somewhat new to the series, I haven't watch consistently over the years so I am curious what the deal is with Maleficent)

I thought Maleficent in dragon form was trapped in the tunnels under the library and that Emma had killed her in previous season/episodes? The lady that plays Maleficent is the same one who played her in previous episodes I believe, she's also Pam from true blood.

I don't really get the addition of Cruella De Ville to the witch group, she seems like a rather big stretch to fit into the theme of the Enchanted Forest grouping, IMO. From her outfit (that doesn't seem to fit in at all to all the other characters) to her not really having magic that I remember from the disney movie. The only thing I remember the character did was want to kill animals for they're fur.

It's a bit like Disney is doing a dump of a character, where it doesn't seem to make sense to me. Hopefully they're going to surprise me and it'll make sense why she fits into the group, but me, right now I just don't see her fitting in with a couple of very powerful witches, she just seems random and out of place to me.

I was also a little disappointed with the outcome of the ice queen ending. They did all this running around and at the end it was over so quickly, almost like they forced to story to a end so it'd fit into the season split. I liked her deciding to sacrifice herself but then again it just felt a bit rushed to me.

Personally I am really glad that Belle finally stood up for herself!
I love Rumple as much as the next OUAT fan, but gee has he treated her BADLY!

The only way I could see him win her back is if he truly gave up magic alltogether.
It's like a drug addiction, as long as he uses it he will always put it above everything and everyone else.

Belle deserves better than that.

As a sidenote, I also argee that Cruella doesn't fit in.
I hope the explaination for how they got to the outside world will be interesting though.

I think the way I'd write myself out of that plot corner it by saying it was sort of like a representation of Maleficent's magic, not actually Maleficent. Sort of like Zelina's necklace. but I guess we'll have to wait and see in a while...

Wait.. isn't Maleficent supposed to be dead? She was that dragon under the library....
She's dead, but she's bound to being stuck in Storybrooke in any form, even a spirit by Regina. Not sure if this changed with the curse being re-cast. At least that's what I got out of it...

My husband was curious about Maleficent too. What he found was that nobody in Storybrooke during Regina's curse could actually die in that cave thing, they kept regenerating or something, so technically she didn't die? I don't know if I believe that but yeah. Don't know where he found that, if it's canon or fanon.

Personally I am really glad that Belle finally stood up for herself!
I love Rumple as much as the next OUAT fan, but gee has he treated her BADLY!

The only way I could see him win her back is if he truly gave up magic alltogether.
It's like a drug addiction, as long as he uses it he will always put it above everything and everyone else.

Belle deserves better than that.

As a sidenote, I also argee that Cruella doesn't fit in.
I hope the explaination for how they got to the outside world will be interesting though.

I was glad Belle stood up for herself but I was disappointed with Rumple this season. I have seen enough back episodes to know his track and I was somewhat happy he 'seemed' to have changed his ways or not really changed his ways...more like at least he had the ability to modify himself to a better person.

I think I was hoping his character would remain ambiguous.

It's a bit like they went all in with his character, whereas before you could either feel sorry for him or understand his actions. Now I'm not completely sure it's so easy for me to remain in the camp of Rumple; being someone you can understand they're actions, even when they're bad.

Just so he can leave storybrook or remove himself from the connection with the daggar? It just seems trivial in comparison to what he had gained and for someone who has such power and patience, it seems like a waste of all the things the character has gone through.

So yea, the addict mentality does seem to fit.

Going back to another character, I was also disappointed Hook trusted rumple to start with, just to get a hand back?? It also seems against his nature considering how he feels about Rumple being untrustworthy. I feel like hook should have known better so I keep wondering do the writers know they're characters?

I haven't seen season four yet.  I was becoming a fan at first watching it on Netflix and then I was hooked.  On Netflix it went all the way to the end of Season 3.  Season 4 had just gotten over and I think it's going to be several months before it's on Netflix.  I've checked amazon (the one like Netflix) and it has it but you have to pay $1.99 per episode.  I want free.  I don't have Hulu or anything like that.  I tried looking online like on youtube but any videos posted were taken down due to copyright laws.  I keep checking to see when Season 4 will be out on DVD, but haven't found anything.  I'm starting to tape new episodes of Season 4 part two and hopefully I can find Season 4 part one somewhere and catch up.  I have Season 2 and Season 3 on blu-ray.  After watching the episodes I saw, I decided this has to be a blu-ray series.  I haven't been able to get a hold of Season One on blu-ray.  I know amazon has it, but I'm trying to be sneaky about it, because I was told not to buy the series on DVD, because we can get it free on netflix.  I like to watch behind-the-scenes stuff and I want to be able to watch it when I want and we only have Netflix in the living room--so I got it anyway.  I'm almost 31 and am tired of being treated like a child sometimes.  It stinks sometimes living with my parents but the good parts outweigh the bad so I can deal with it.

Is there going to be a background story about Cruella? I want to know why a modern day woman is in The Enchanted Forest and has magical powers. Also why isn't she an older woman? It would be awesome if they could resurrect Maleficent since Emma did kill her with a sword to get the thing she did by killing her. Season 1 was so long ago I can't really remember what went on that season other than the obvious.

Maleficent is still trapped in SB as a spirit since Hook didn't kill her (yeah that was last season ::clears out the memory cobwebs::). I would be curious if they will be able to bring her back to her human form again since she's bound there in some form or another. I thought the creature that came out of the box with the fairies was her...


Cruella, I am having hard time fitting her in with everything...

Edit:
IF Maleficent can be resurrected from ashes then there must be some ridiculous way to bring back the Huntsman... LOL

My husband keeps asking me why Cruella is part of the story, and what part does she have in the magic. I just shhh! him, and say her fashion sense, but honestly, what's up with Cruella? I know Pongo was Archie's dog, but I'm not sure whether Cruella is just there to fill the 3rd spot in the evil grouping, or she has an actual 'power.'

They showed that Cruella had magic in the first episode she was in.  She breathed that green mist that mind controlled the bugs and her dogs.  So it seems like she can control animals.

I mean I don't know what they're planning to do with her backstory wise since I imagine it will be much different than 101 dalmations, but in this incarnation she definately does have magic.  And I personally love her attitude. XD  I mean really how bad of a person do you have to be to be PROUD of your blood diamonds. XD

Cruella has powers of persuasion. They haven't shown if she can work this on other people. Based on her lifestyle I would guess she can... I don't find her to be very fairytalish so I'm just having a difficult time with her in the whole equation.

A convienent storyline. Would this have gone along with 1-2 seasons? No imo. I still go by the fact that each episode is written by the seat of their pants maybe 6 months in advance but then things are added in constantly as it goes. Thus the reason why storylines don't make sense between seasons. I feel that at times the writers forget what happened in the past. However, this Hero and Villain obsession is getting a bit over worded. Don't get me wrong, I like this show, the surprises are great, but some things just get tiring over time.

Technically dead is dead. Thus coming from season 1. Which again, previous season storylines dont count anymore.... Lol.

Mmm, Maleficent is different than Neil and the Sheriff though.... I mean, what if she'd done magic on herself to keep her from truly dying? She was a dragon all those years under the city, after all. And there was no magic all that time, but she was still a dragon! So she's got something going on....

I assumed that she would be able to be brought back because she was bound in town in whatever form. It's just amazing how easy it was to resurrect her ashes. I had expected it to be something that only Regina could undo because she was the one that cast the curse that left her to that particular fate.

The Author is now a scapegoat to back track everything that's been done over the last 4 seasons. Let's bring back every villian that has ever been on OUAT and do it all again. Hmmmm....
This now allows me to whine for the millionth time that we now have an excuse to bring back the Huntsman. I am adamant about this. There's no excuse, bring Jamie in for ONE episode, don't kill him off, just let him fade out like Ruby... LOL.

well, THAT was an interesting ending last night! Totally wasn't expecting the Author to be who it is, interesting. I thought it was going to be Lily's dad for a few minutes there.

I was not surprised, however, to see who Maleficent's kid really is.

Did anyone else think Emma's face looked different in this episode? And I didn't understand the brief convo Rumple had with sleeping Belle. I missed last week's episode, so that might be why I'm a little lost?

In an episode back in the Frozen arch, Emma's first and only friend as a child. They drew little hand tattoo things to indicate they'd always be friends until like, 6 hours later when Emma found out Lilly had been lying about being a foster child, actually had a family who loved and was concerned about her.

Yeah, we've had a lot of chit chat. Once the third season hit we've been a bit less talkative. I for one will admit I don't catch things right away, so don't ever feel bad if you get confused! If I have time I'll watch each week's episode twice just so I can attempt keep things straight.

Iv been pretty good with following the first season. Im sooo into it. uugh I love this idea, and just trying to pinpoint the characters before Henry has to point it out for me xD. snow/mary margaret and charming/david had me so dange frustrated this whole season rofl. I was so relieved when they got their memories back.

I was also so excited to see Emilie De Ravin, I fell in love with her in Lost, and she makes such a good Belle. I think overall, someone did a really good job with casting for this series. :D Cant wait to start season two xD

Season one is pretty easy to follow and flows well, always keeping your interest. It's just seasons two and three having multiple story lines going on throwing in even more characters to keep track of. Then there's a bit of this happened in past seasons but it doesn't apply anymore going on, like in 4th season. Just remember once a character is dead they're supposed to stay dead. lol.

I was thinking more on this in the shower this morning (where I do my best thinking!)--if the writers are able to bring back dead people willy-nilly, what about bringing Daniel back? Do you think that if Regina and Robin do get to be together, the writers will bring Daniel back to throw another wrench in that story arc?

I'm anxious to see how they bring Oz back into the story. I feel like I'm forgetting last week already--we didn't see Lily as an adult, correct? Do you think she is in Oz?

You know, if these jerks would just TALK to each other, they'd all figure this out without Gold.

"Hey, Ursula & Cruella, remember that time you fell into a portal we asked the Sorcerer's Apprentice to make?"

He said "it made a better story" to the Apprentice... and he met them in that forest, telling them about the baby AND about the Apprentice. What if he wrote their actions? I mean, Snow was constantly unsure, regretful, and upset. She clearly didn't like this, but was oddly desperate. I think the Author was manipulating them too. He wanted a more dramatic tale for Emma's origins....

A good theory, but if you remember August said that he might not be the one writing Emma's story, and I don't think he is judging by that statement, so Emma may have nothing to do with his reason if he made the Charmings do it.

Can I just say how completely unhappy I am that Zalina is coming back in the next episode? Like, it is almost enough for me to not like this arc that I am so upset about her returning. She was such a bad character and her actress seriously overacted, just....ugh...if she stays I think I might have to back out until next season because I can't I just can't.

There have been many authors over time. The guy that was pulled from the book is the current one. Yes, he was tampering, he wasn't just recording what was happening, he was changing the story around to make it amusing. Thus the reason he was entrapped in the book by the Sorcerer's Apprentice and The Sorcerer.
(Whomever the Sorcerer is, I hope it's Mickey Mouse!! j/k I doubt they'd do that. Or at least Michael Hurst or Kevin Sorbo, we can have all of these former Lost cast members on here, I want some Xena or Hercules. Come on! I would keel over if they could get Bruce Campbell on this show for something. Couldn't you just see him being a serious Sorcerer? Har. Yes, I'll get off my tangent now. I so want to cast this show. It would be nerdy epic.)

I have to go with the Author tampering. Right before the apprentice locked him away, he said "How could you make me do that to that poor child?" Indicating it wasn't him that sent Lilly away, it was the Author. It stands to reason that the rest of that little tale was all the author too. After all, it did make for a "better" story.

He may not have been writing Emma's story because he was locked up before she was born, but he WAS the Author during that crucial time. I'm pretty sure he made Snow and Charming do what they did to Lilith, Maleficent's baby. And when Snow saw Lilith really was a baby, she panicked and was desperate to save her. Her true nature broke through, and their guilt tortured them. But because the Author did what he did, influencing the Apprentice and Royals, he got punished and locked in the book. He recognized Snow and Charming, and took off. I'm really convinced of this. As for Zalina returning.... *eye roll* Ugh. She was a rather.... infuriating villain. She drove me crazy. Her character was a kind of weak... her jealousy and eavesdropping was SO tedious.... all the time! And she's supposed to be GONE. We have too many villains in this season!!

He may not have been writing Emma's story because he was locked up before she was born, but he WAS the Author during that crucial time. I'm pretty sure he made Snow and Charming do what they did to Lilith, Maleficent's baby. And when Snow saw Lilith really was a baby, she panicked and was desperate to save her. Her true nature broke through, and their guilt tortured them. But because the Author did what he did, influencing the Apprentice and Royals, he got punished and locked in the book. He recognized Snow and Charming, and took off. I'm really convinced of this. As for Zalina returning.... *eye roll* Ugh. She was a rather.... infuriating villain. She drove me crazy. Her character was a kind of weak... her jealousy and eavesdropping was SO tedious.... all the time! And she's supposed to be GONE. We have too many villains in this season!!

I believe Zalina is only in a flashback story for Robin. I am curious how he came to be in OZ.

Now that the author is out he can wreak havoc on them all. The whole villians vs heros thing has always been a part of the show. However, just get it over already so we can have more character development/histories.

like......he's responsible for current couples? Because I really don't see how Belle and one of the Merry Men (I can't remember his name) are together; of course, I only pay attention to Belle when Rumple is around because I'm in love with Robert Carlyle lol

The Knave (who Belle is dating) isn't actually one of the merry men, he's from wonderland. I look at it and go "But you're supposed to be married to the new queen of hearts! there was an entire spin off about it!"

i know! Will Scarlet O'Hara (h/t Men in Tights) is the Knave who married the new Queen of Hearts with giant lips who is also not Cora. and it's all kinds of weird.
why is he with Belle? because he's there?
what happened to Ruby? why is there such a giant cast and we only see 5 characters at a time?
why is everyone coming back from the dead but not the most awesome people like Graham and Daniel?!??! ugh.

Oh I fully think you are right on this part of theory and if it turns out you are wrong and Snow and Charming chose to sacrifice Maleficent's baby of their own free will I am going to be mighty disappointed as it just so goes against the characters the show has set them up to be. I mean, it would be an interesting twist if they did choose to act on their own, but at the same time it so goes against their personalities that it would almost be insulting at the same time....I dunno if I am explaining that right.

The Knave (who Belle is dating) isn't actually one of the merry men, he's from wonderland. I look at it and go "But you're supposed to be married to the new queen of hearts! there was an entire spin off about it!"

Will Scarlet was one of the Merry Men in the Enchanted Forest

He and Anastasia (aka The Red Queen) wanted to be together...but couldn't be due to her family.  Will stole a magic mirror from Maleficent and *pop* in they jumped and ended up in Wonderland.

Will & Anastasia were penniless and living on the road.  One day, the King of Hearts was having a party & they snuck in to get some food.  Well...the King of Hearts took a liking to Anastasia, knowing full well she was living the life of a pauper, and made her a proposition.  Become his wife and have everything she ever dreamed of.  Except...she was in love with Will.  Oh, decisions, decisions!

Well, she married the king and Will, well, he sought some help from Cora (or, she kinda found him).  'Cause Cora visited Wonderland every now & then (...I think she tried to overthrow the prior Queen of Hearts?)

At some point, Will went back to the Enchanted Forest.  He got caught up in Regina's curse.  Lived a life in Storybrooke for 30 years.  Then "Omg, I remember!"

...there's a bunch of wibbly wobbly timey wimey time travel thanks to the White Rabbit.  Will travels back to 19th century England, breaks Alice out of the looney bin, and have their OUATIW adventures.  Will and Anastasia are last seen at the wedding of Alice & Cyrus in 19th century England.

After Anastasia dumped will, Cora took Will's heart. I believe it ended up in what would become Regina's vault, but he stole it back and hid it inside the wall of his Storybrooke apartment sometime after the curse was broken (I'm a little foggy on this bit).

...except now Will is back in 21st century Storybrooke...and dating Belle...

So, there will be some catching up on his backstory in future plot lines :)

Either this is BEFORE he met Alice, but he would be dating Belle without a heart...

...or he and Anastasia aren't together any longer, so he time traveled back to the future to live in Storybrooke...

But seriously, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO EXPLAIN HENRY. If everything gets reversed, he'll be un-born! If Rumple's some wonderful knight now, Bael will never get sent to our world... so he never meets Emma and makes Truest Believer baby. And yet we see Henry, wearing our world clothes in the EF, sitting with a bloody nose in some peasant village as Rumple rides up in his ostentatious gold armor. How is that kid alive???

I'm still a week behind. At least we've got some good vibes here as the season comes to an end!

On a side note, I posted on an OUAT fans FB page a few weeks ago about how excited I would be if they were able to write the Huntsman back into the show. I mean come on, you add Jamie in and it may go on for a few more seasons (guaranteed! yes!). Man, did I get bashed and was critizied and asked to explain why. So I did. I liked his character and more than just the eye candy. He had a background that never was really explained in detail (like other characters) and nobody knows how or what he did after Regina took his heart. I couldn't believe that not one person that responded to my post could see his character back in the show. So much Jamie hate going on there, it was sad... I'm still sad about it. I just must not be a true fan of the show that I can't accept that certain characters are gone that could be back... Like Ruby too...

Ack, this half-season has been so great! :frolic: I can't wait for the finale, but at the same time I don't want it to end...

Did anyone else pick up on all the awesome Christian morality and themes in Best Laid Plans? (I think it was that episode.) I mean, Snow and Charming living with the guilt of their past sins against Maleficent's daughter, and their conversation about wanting to redeem themselves, and being 'the best version of themselves'? Wow. I was blinking away tears.

And honestly, Cruella's story was chock-full of emotions. I'm so heartbroken for the Author now, even though she ended up insane.

And Rumple! And Belle! And Will! Despite all he's done, I don't want Rumple to die--he's been such an awesome character, and just think of how he actually let Will have Belle's heart. TEARS.

*takes deep breath* Last bit of emotional fangirling--Regina taking the infertility potion. :cry: I think this Sunday's episode also held a hint of true morality, in that taking contraceptives harms you, the people around you, and takes away your 'happy ending', so to speak. (I don't want this to become a heated discussion; I'm just stating what I felt that episode was meant to say. :) )

SO excited for the finale! I'm just hoping for more of August. 'Cause as much as I love Emma and Hook, good-lookin' Pinnochio was there first. ;)

I watched it this morning, I DVR'd it last night.  Very epic. 
Spoiler
It was great of Emma to be heroic and take the darkness within her but now she may be a villain and everyone in Storybrook will be in danger.  Is she no longer the savior?  Maybe Henry will be since he's her son, he will be the one to save her from darkness.
 I like Rumplestiltskin a lot, but I found this season he was very boring.  I liked the flashbacks of him with gold sparkley skin, etc and his high pitched giggles.

I liked it. I was sort of angry at the Writer for just flipping the endings though. It's sort of a lazy ploy for someone who wanted a "good story." I would have kept them villains but still given them happy endings. Anywho, I'm glad Henry found his place in the magical universe and that the Apprentice, whom I happily call Mickey, is back into play.

I miss the pilot version of Rumple. You, know the bit more qirky-creepy-squeaky version. Hopefully I can watch all two hours by the end of this week. It's gonna be a LOOOOOONG summer. I still need to get my hands on season 3 on DVD.

So happy to see Henry as the next author. He needed a "place" in the magic.

And yay for Regina and Robin :) Happy to see the story about them too.

Post by: PrincessStarlily on May 11, 2015, 05:12:46 PM
I just finished watching it.

WHAT. AN. ENDING. :cry:

WARNING: Spoilers ahead!

Oh my flipping goodness! I cried when Hook died! Of course, I wasn't too surprised when he came back, but still. And though it led up to the grand finale, I agree that the Author's incentive for a happy ending was rather weak. I kind of wish he'd had an even more complex backstory that was revealed earlier on.

I'm also with everyone on Henry's "place in the magic"! And I LOVED his final response to the Author's power...such a smart, humble kid. ^.^

Things I wasn't expecting:
-Lily being the guard on the island (her defeat seemed far too easy; I felt like the whole "Heroes & Villains" section was rushed. It was given so much hype in the sneak peeks but not nearly as much screen time as I was expecting.)
-Hook. Being killed. Yeah, going to start bawling again.
-THAT ENDING. Just...wow. In a way I'm annoyed that all of Rumple's darkness was removed, because that was what made him such an interesting character in the first place (and what made Belle so lovable). But it's a great excuse for the writers to draw out the series. ;)
-Emma's sacrifice. Although because of her character development, I should have seen it coming...but for a moment I honestly thought we were going to have Evil Regina back (which none of us wanted, I don't think). Come to think of it, none of us really wants Emma to go dark either, but I'm looking forward to how it affects the next season. By the finale, I thought the "making Emma go dark" motive was gone, but I guess not--and it just hit us all in a way I certainly didn't expect. The worst way to end a season? By putting the main character's name on the Dark One's dagger, and making that the last image you see for MONTHS. Seriously, guys. Come ON. *pouts in a corner and refuses to move till Season 5*

My little review/rant of this stunning finale. It definitely surprised me in many ways, which I really appreciated! I hate it when the trailers ruin everything.

Poor Hook is all I have to say about that ending. He finally gets to hear the three biggest words from the woman he loves and instead of enjoying the moment she gets ripped from him. That poor man, he has the worst luck ever.

And can I just say how much I freaking adore Robin and Regina together? Seriously, they have become the new Snow and Charming for me as their romantic moments bring the biggest and stupidest smiles to my face and...I just love them to pieces.

I am excited to see Dark On Emma, but at the same time I am not chomping at the bit. Mostly because I think she will be a pretty terrible Dark One, but I could be surprised.

I'm sad Emma is in such danger and that she and Hook are separated.... but at least she dropped the dagger! That's a good start. Hook could like, keep it strapped to himself at all times. Then, Emma can't do anything bad, because Hook will be keeping her from betraying herself. I was all teary when she refused to let Regina lose her happy ending even one more time. She didn't hesitate; she cares about Regina and wants her to finally be happy. Plus.... Emma showed that she finally completely trusts her parents to not fail her. She asked them to save her from the darkness one more time. And with Henry as the Author, though he refuses to change things, at the very least, he must record things.... which means he will know where Emma ends up!

Now that I've been thinking about the finale, I agree with those who talked about someone picking up the dagger. I mean, it makes so much sense for Regina or Hook or Snow or Henry to just take it and keep Emma from doing bad stuff, but a little voice in the back of my head is saying "but it'll just go *POOF* like Emma within the first three seconds of Season 5!"

Kitsis and Horowitz must have waaaaay too much fun torturing us Oncers. :P

Actually, since Henry broke the pen he can't do much of anything as the new Author. The pen is how the Author's recorded the greatest stories and without it...they don't seem to be able to do much.

I'm looking forward to the new season.

Here is a brief description of what brave is about.

In the film, set in the Scottish Highlands during the Medieval period, a skilled archer named Merida defies an age-old custom, causing chaos in her kingdom and angering her mother, Elinor. After consulting a witch for help, Merida accidentally curses her mother and is forced to undo the spell herself before it is too late.

I love Brave. It is one of my favorite movies. She is the only princess, that I am aware of, who doesn't sing. She is so awesome and easy to relate to.

For those who have not seen the movie Brave and don't want any spoilers, don't read this. I found it and copied it, but added more to finish the story. Enjoy!

Spoiler
In a prologue, we see Lord Fergus and Lady Elinor in a forested area, celebrating the birthday of their young daughter, Merida. Though Elinor happily plays with Merida, she grows perturbed when Fergus gives the little girl her own bow and set of arrows.

As Merida tries to hit a target, one of the arrows sails off into the forest nearby. Merida runs off and retrieves it, but soon encounters a glowing blue will-o'-the-wisp. Going back to her parents, she tells what she saw, and her mother explains that they can lead a person to their destiny.

Suddenly, the mood is broken as an enormous black bear, Mordu, enters the camp grounds. Merida and her mother quickly take leave as Lord Fergus and his men fight against the bear.

Time passes, and we see that Lord Fergus has lost his leg to the bear. In the time that has passed, Lady Elinor has given birth to three mischievous triplets, Hamish, Hubert and Harris and Merida is now a teenager. While her mother wants her to be proper, Merida is more so intent on practicing archery, and journeying off in the forest.

One evening, a messenger brings word that the 3 neighboring clans have accepted the offer to fight for Merida's hand in marriage. Naturally, the young woman is not at all happy with this situation. Elinor explains to her daughter that the clans must be kept in harmony, or chaos may reign. She relates the story of how the clans were descended from four brothers, but one of them wanted more power than the others, and caused the balance of power to crumble. Even so, this does little to quell Merida's resentment of the betrothal.

The three clans soon arrive, and Lords MacGuffin, Macintosh, and Dingwall arrive with each of their sons. Per tradition, each of the first-born of the clans will fight in the event that the Princess chooses. This causes Merida to perk up, and she eagerly suggests archery.

When it comes to the sport, almost none of the sons are good at the sport, but everyone is shocked when Merida appears before everyone, claiming that since she's a first-born as well, she'll be 'fighting for her own hand.' Elinor demands Merida stop, but she defies her mother, and makes a bulls-eye on each of the targets.

Naturally, Elinor feels angry and humiliated at this, and both mother and daughter have a heated conversation in her room later on. Merida claims she does not want to be like her mother, and in anger, slashes a tapestry depicting the family, slicing a hole between her and her mother in the piece.

Upset by this as well, Elinor loses her temper, and throws Merida's bow in a fireplace nearby. Upset by this, Merida flees the castle. Unseen by Merida, her mother regrets what she has done a few moments later, and manages to retrieve the bow from the fire.

Merida flees to the forest on her horse, Angus, where she comes across a circle of stones, and a will-o'-the-wisps. Following it, she finds a small cottage inhabited by an old woman. The old woman claims she is just a wood carver, but Merida soon realizes she's actually a witch, when she notices an enchanted broom, and the woman's crow (which can talk!).

Merida eagerly asks for a spell to change her mother, but the witch refuses, claiming she did a spell once before, and regretted it. However, Merida gets her to reconsider when she agrees to purchase all her wood carvings with a silver necklace. The offer is too much to resist, and the witch brews a concoction that produces a small cake. Merida is instructed to give it to her mother, and she eagerly rushes off to do so.

Returning to the castle, King Fergus is doing his best to quell the Lords after the events of the tournament. Merida encounters her mother in the kitchen, and eagerly gives her the  cake, but after one tiny bite, Elinor starts to not feel well.

Merida leads her mother to her chambers. She keeps asking her mother how she feels about the marriage, but soon her happiness changes and turns to shock... when her mother turns into a black bear!

Knowing that King Fergus, the Bear King, will surely kill Elinor. Merida finds her mother in a room with her brothers rearranging the Kings animal trophies. She enlists the aid of her brothers to distract Fergus and the Lords, while she sneaks her mother out of the castle, and back into the forest. As an award for their help, Merida allows them to help themselves to anything in the kitchen. They eye the cake that Merida got from the witch.

The two manage to find the witch's cottage, but find it is now empty. A message is left for Merida telling her that the Witch has gone away until the next Spring, and that the spell will become permanent within 2 sunrises. However, if Merida wants to reverse the effects, she has heed some specific words, "Fate be changed, look inside. Mend the bond torn by pride." Merida is unsure just what this means, and the two sleep in the woods that evening, before having breakfast in the morning.

Merida manages to catch some fish for her mother, but when her mother demands more, Merida tells her mother she will need to catch them herself. The mother and daughter bond over this method, but when her mother wanders off into the woods, Merida chases after her. However, upon finding her, her mother suddenly attempts to attack Merida, before returning to normal. With less than 24 hours, it seems that if they do not find a way to reverse the spell, Elinor will lose her humanity, and become a bear forever!

As they wander in the woods, the two come across the will-o'-the-wisps again, and follow them. They are lead to a high mountain, and the ruins of a great castle. Inside, Merida finds a stone tablet depicting 4 men, with one of them separated from the group. Soon, Merida realizes that she is in the castle in the legend her mother told her about, and soon makes the connection:

The brother who attempted to seize power from his siblings went to the witch, and her spell turned him into a bear...powerful and stronger than his brothers, but he was unable to change back, and became a rampaging beast, the same one who took Lord Fergus' leg, Mordu.

Suddenly, Mordu, the bear emerges from the darkness and attempts to attack Merida. Elinor manages to save her daughter, and the two head back to the circle of stones. However, Merida is now sure what needs to be done. The witch's spell mentioned mending, and Merida feels that if she can mend the tapestry she cut the day before, her mother will be saved.

Merida and Elinor return back to the castle to get to the tapestry. Inside she tries to distract everyone inside the throne room so her mother can get past unnoticed.  She gives a speech to everyone narrating what her mother is miming her to say about she is breaking tradition on allowing their children to follow their own hearts and choose who to marry when the time is right for them. To live their life their way. The room empties out to celebrate, allowing Merida and Elinor to make their way upstairs to the chamber with the tapestry.

While Merida and her mother get to the tapestry, her mother starts acting like a bear again. She tries to get her to change back, but she couldn't. Fergus enters his chambers where he thinks Elinor is to tell her about Meridas speech to find the room a mess and Elinors dress ripped to shreds. He runs off looking for his wife, only to find Merdia in the tapestry room with a black bear. Not knowing it is his wife, he is ready to attack. Merida tries to tell him its her mother, but he won't let. Elinor fights back as a bear and accidentally scratches Merida. After she realizes what she did, she changed back, scared that she harmed her daughter. She escapes the castle before Fergus and the rest of the clans join to catch the bear. Merida is locked in the room with no way out to save her mom.

She continues to searche for a needle and thread for the tapestry. She calls out to her brothers for help. When they come into view, she sees that they have turned into three black bear cubs. They manage to get the key and unlock the door. Merida rips the tapestry down and storms out of the castle on her horse, Angus along with her brothers, while mending the tapestry.

Fergus and the three clans chase Elinor at the circle stones. They tie her up and just as Fergus is about to make his kill, Merida shoots an arrow at his sword as a warning. Telling him not to kill her mother. Thinking she is talking nonsense Fergus tries again, but Merida fights up with her own sword. Fergus is finally convince when three bear cubs climb over them and Merida refers to them as her brothers, then Mordu shows up. Fergus and the three clans attack the bear. Merida frees her mother, but Mordu turns to Merida. Unable to fight him, Elinor steps in to protect her daughter. Elinor and Mordu fight each other, while Mordu keep trying to go after Merida. On one last attempt to stop Mordu, Elinor beats him against one of the stones causing it to break and land on him.

After Mordu was crushed, the spirit of the prince from the story rose and nodded as a thank you for setting him free. Merida sees that the sun is starting to rise. She rushes to her mothers side and covers her with the tapestry, hoping she made it in time. After the sun rose, her mothers eyes turned all black like a bear. Merida was sad to see her mother not change back, she held her crying, apologizing for everything and how she just wanted her mom back. She was wrapped with two arms hugging her back, looking up to see her mother has been transformed back into a human. With glee Fergus ran to Elinor and scooped her up in his arms. The triplets too changed back into their naked human selves.

Merida and Elinor bond grew stronger having gone through what they did, that Elinor now accept Merida for who she is and she controls her fate.

I just breezed through season 4 in like a week. I thought it was amazing as usual. Being a dragon lover, I loved the appearance of Maleficent and Lily in their dragon forms. Of course beforehand, I really loved the whole Frozen arc. My hours at work have changed so I might be able to watch season 5 when it's on TV. Does anyone know what day and time it comes on?

Thank you for the synaposis. :o) I know I'll find this season a bit easier to follow now. I was a bit lost with the Frozen story line-so I want to be prepared for how they might twist things around for season 5.
I still really miss the Huntsman...  Yup, I keep dreaming...
Here's to hoping for lots of sword fights and more flashbacks in ftl! woot woot.
I'm indifferent to how they've made Emma look, the few pics just weren't that great. At least Rumple was unique, he didn't look terrible, he embodied the magic, in both look and character (quirky, mischievous, intelligent) in the way that I don't know if they can pull off with Emma.

I just breezed through season 4 in like a week. I thought it was amazing as usual. Being a dragon lover, I loved the appearance of Maleficent and Lily in their dragon forms. Of course beforehand, I really loved the whole Frozen arc. My hours at work have changed so I might be able to watch season 5 when it's on TV. Does anyone know what day and time it comes on?
As far as I know still Sunday at 7 pm Central time.

Bum ba dum da bum. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. You went to the enchanted forest and you came back with no memory again? You're all going to get some weird magic disease from this if it keeps happening, I just know it! Props to the costume department, everyone looked so velvety and regal... On to next week...

We're all just being super quiet this season because we're not confused, right?! I can say my attention has been kept! I'm happy Rumple is still alive, his life was so precarious for awhile... Plus I just love those FTL flashbacks (the costumes!!). Nice to get some Merlin history... Really want to know what did happen to him.

I'm really impressed with what they are doing this season. I can't wait till next week it's a two hour special.

I called it on the original dark one being Merlin love's. I never said it on here but I told the Hubby. Although he has no ideal what I'm talking about. Lol.

The first hour was so good!!!!!! And then the second hour I lost interest because I wanted to watch more of the first segment! Lol. Killian a dark one?!?!? Omg!

That was me with the two hour special. I think they should have played them in reverse order. It would have made more since I think in the long run. I knew something big was coming but I wasn't quite sure what it was. What a twist that was.

The actess that plays belle is pregnant in real life. So I wonder how they will write that into the script.

There is always more commercials, it's like a curse.

On the show I don't quite understand why Hook suddenly once he realized he was the dark one went all crazy nuts evil so quick. It was kind of disappointing and I'm hoping it will be explained because he would have been the dark one the whole time right?

Plus Emma and his name are on the sword, shouldn't that make them totally connected through the dark magic in some kinda way?? I'm just feeling like with the magical connection they both should be connected on a magical level. Like ya know, know what the other is thinking or...I don't know something more than him switching to totally being pissed at her.

Hook suddenly switching like a light switch to 'evil' like that especially since he already had the 'dark one' power all that time...it's kinda whhhaaa???

I was TOTALLY thinking the same thing, Karen!! Like, if Killian was REALLY a Dark One, wouldn't he have been acting bad and doing Dark One type things before he remembered?? He's not a Dark One.... I don't even think he's got magic!! He's just being held in life stasis with the blade, isn't he???

Same here! I liked the second one better as well. I do think that turning Hook into the dark one is a very unexpected plot twist, which I liked!

I was working on a custom through the whole thing so I was half paying attention, as usual. Eh, eh, eh, eh. I do like Emma's reasoning. Sad that Merlin really is gone because of Emma's choice. I just hope Hook snaps out of it and doesn't turn on her. I like their dynamic.

Eh, they barely worked around it the first time... I should edit to say in the fact that any flashback scenes you could tell.
It will be difficult to work around so many babies popping out for so many central characters. Focus will have to change to other secondary characters pretty soon!

Did I miss what the new curse is going to do? Or wait, it already happened, right?  The timeline is so confusing with so many flashbacks!! Anyone else annoyed that Belle is always leaving Rumple? Are they just doing that because she's pg IRL? I feel like I always have more questions after each episode. Next week is the Winter Finale, too.

Also, almost peed my pants laughing when Dark Hook confronted Rumple in his shop, and did the whole arms raised 'Dearie' speech, a la the old Rumpelstiltskin.

I think it's more for the sake of the Beauty and the Beast story. At the end of the movie Beast has to become a hero and nearly die for both parties to realize their love. Rumple has nearly died, but not necessarily in a heroic way, so now he needs to be the better him, and go forward without malice or cowardice, not relying on Belle for support and genuinely be a better man. buut I could be wrong. *shrug*

The President did an address, which made all the programs run late. Why does he never talk BEFORE Primetime TV?? In this country, we value our TV shows over hearing the President speak live...it's not like we can't read it in the paper/online later...ERGH. vent over.

Hook took all the darkness and then had Emma kill him. She turned back to light. Cue all the crying, and Hook is taken away on a stretcher. Cut to Emma crying in her house, and she hears whispers. She tells Rumple to meet her at his store (Belle had just come back and they made up). We find out Rumple had actually done his usual switch-er-oo on the dagger/Excalibur, so he is the Dark One once again, with all the powers of the past Dark Ones, including Emma. Then, she does a deal with him to open up the pond to go to Hades, and they all are next to the pond and start walking across it after Rumple opens/summons the boat to Hades.

I think I got it all?

I am honestly getting really tired of Gold being the Dark One...or at least switching or "trying" to be good and screwing Belle over, it's getting old.  Just keep him as the Dark One and stop making Belle a pathetic damsel who keeps going back to a jerk. 

I'm glad Emma's back to herself, I did not care for her as the Dark One until it came back that she was trying to protect her family like usual.

Killian as a Dark One kind of left much to be desired.  They could have done more with that but had a weak finale to his actions in a short amount of time (him realizing "the man he wanted to be" not the plot twist to the Underworld).  I guess it was necessary to set up the next plot line but seriously, they could have done more with that I think.  Also, like someone said before, there should have been more connect between Emma and Killian since they were both Dark Ones.  That and how is it he had to remember to start acting evil? 

I think I am just ready for Emma and Killian to be together since she finally gave into her feelings for him.  Anyone else think we will see characters from Hercules now with the Underworld tie in?  Hello Hades!

I'm glad Zelena is gone too lol.  Her character and personality were getting tiresome.  It was kind of great when Regina banished her.  She can be good and badass all at the same time.

Actually the same thing happen to me and I have no idea what happened in the end of this episode and I was literally the dark one when the DVR playback ended abruptly.

I value what the president says since I'm a grownup but seriously, the problem I have with the presidents address is he really didn't say anything new. Frankly everything he said has been said already by the administration. I don't know who hadn't already heard most of what he said, but then again I do actually watch the news every day so seeing him say the same things over again and also cut into my TV program...yea he turned me into the dark one.

I wish they'd knock it off with the overlapping timelines walking backwards- it's not as though this is a complicated story with complicated dialogue- but all the back and forth and back even further and forth even more-  can make things difficult to follow.

I feel like the story lines now are a bit too convenient and rushed.
Who else was a bit bothered by Emma's dark one voice?
I'm glad Belle didn't go, but geez Gold, get over your power complex.
The writers have to have a bad guy and I'd rather have Rumple at this point over Zelena. Gooooooood riddance to her.
I love this let's go to the underworld to bring someone that is dead back to life. Ooooooops dead is NOT dead? BLARGH. I want Graham back, like now, if they bring Hook back. But I do want Emma and Hook to be together so we can get on with some happy endings and develop more characters. I feel like I'm watching a soap opera too often.

If someone is dead, how exactly do you bring them back without a body? Did they put a spell on his body to keep it...ya know, alive? I'm just confused and since I didn't see exactly what happened at the end I have no idearie :p what to think of what I've read about the ending.

Something has to be paid in turn for taking Hook back, like a trade. So uh, Emma is going to give half her heart for his body? We already had this body merger thing with Gold/Neil. It turned out bad. I want to know what she will have to give up in order for him to be brought back.

So here's the theory, you go to heaven you don't come back aka Graham and Neil and any other character killed that was a bit more innocent. End of story. ROTFLMAO.

I forgot about the Neil/Rumple thing and exactly how that one worked. (man this show has had a not of twists) but I do remember that Snow and Charming share a heart but that happened right at the moment when Charming died. Not sure how the whole Hook/Emma thing will work in terms of where is his body.

I did see the preview for next season and it has a gravestone with his name on it, so did they have a funeral or is that just showing up in the underworld?

I've seen bits and pieces on the internet of the ending over the last couple days but I really want to see it all in one chunk instead of broken apart bits.

I'm just kinda wondering what will Hook be down in the underworld? I mean he changed pretty quickly with the darkness attached to him so I'm kinda wondering how it's going to work out with him. Is he just going to be a good guy again or is he gonna be screwed up more by being down in the underworld.

I remember a movie with Robin Williams in it called What dreams may come.

He dies in the movie (can't remember how an accident I think?) and he goes to 'heaven' but his wife who kills herself doesn't go to heaven because she killed herself. He had to go down into the depths of hell to find her.

The whole point of me bringing that up is, when he finally finds her she doesn't recognize him and is 'changed' from being in hell. She's a tortured soul so he has to go through a lot to get her back.

I'm just wondering in terms of, with Hook being in the underworld how he is going to be when she does find him.

Didn't Rumple mention something about how horrible it is down there. So I'm wondering how much of a struggle will it actually be to get him back even when she finds him.

If you missed that last part it seemed like not even a day passed and they were getting on the river boat. I thought it was going to be Emma alone. Nope. They found strength in numbers when the wraith thingy tried to take Robin earlier in the season. Who knows....? From the previews it looks like just a darker run down version of the town. Good point on how his mental state will be down there. Maybe it brings the worst out of people...

Makes sense, it's a storyline that hasn't been worked in yet. Weren't there Pain and Panic too-those little goblin guys? (I actually never owned Hercules... been almost a decade since I last watched it). I'd absolutely pass out if they could work in Kevin Sorbo or Michael Hurst into all of this. There's only one Hercules in my eyes.

No, the blonde in Granny's is not Meg. She is a blind witch who was in a previous episode with Rumple, if I remember correctly. We will see Meg and Herc next week. I don't see why they would be in the underworld unless Herc is there to save Meg to save her soul to help me become a God.

The more villains you kill off...
Rumple is still around and is the root of evil. He must have that internal struggle to remain interesting. Gotta use who you have. I still miss the whole feel of season 1. There was mystery, and you were entangled in figuring out who each character was while enjoying their back stories. So many more handsome male characters...
I've said this before, I'll watch it, even if it becomes a train wreck soap opera, until the end.

As far as I remember about the Hatter. He was reunited with his daughter, just not sure where they are living. I would think that Graham has unfinished business seeing how it was Regina that crushed his heart that killed him and not knowing what possible relationship he and Emma could of had. Knowing that Jamie is too busy for an appearance or not enough money now that he is more well known, we won't see Graham return.

I want Will Scarlet, the Knave back. I enjoyed his character in Wonderland and seeing him very little in Storybrook. He needs to come back.

One of these days I'll learn that actor's name...he's in everything...

Eh, anything involving Zelena makes me cringe. What's his name, Greg Germann... Well, that's a fun.
At least we're moving a long a bit more.

Eh, he's not the worst I've seen.... I just have trouble associating him with the movie Hades. That Hades was much more passionate, suave, and slick.... plus, he was blue. This guy... he just can't capture that.

Yup, if this is any indication of how things are going, we're all hanging on by the seat of our pants... lol. I guess we're not totally confused with what is going on, and I like that.

Really hoping that Belle can be woken up.

Ugh. Major disappointment last week. Seriously all of that and Hook doesn't get to leave. Phooey. We'll see what happens tonight.

So glad Hook got to come back!! Not gunna lie I teared up a bit.

And I'm actually proud of Zelena. I maybe don't hate her anymore.

Spoiler
He seriously makes me cringe  :yikes: :crazy: :facepalm: and :yucky: :X gag at the same time...gross the way he talks.  Anyone else find it odd how young Zeus looked compared to Hades? James Woods should have been Hades.  Same voice and he would've gotten the attitude and mannerisms right.

So glad Hook is back...even if it was a predictable episode. Jeez, the Evil Queen coming back, great...Robin and Regina barely got to happen!  I get that having both sisters without a SO will make them close, but come on! I would rather have seen the three work the family dynamic for awhile. So glad Zelena took out Hades, what a sycophant!  She's got resolve when she needs it.

so.many.feels! I spent the majority of the episode crying, sheesh! 
Spoiler
I like the King Arthur twist, that he is taking on the Underworld as the kingdom he needs to fix (although, this feels like the start of a spin-off OUAT). Thank you, Zelena, for finally doing something right and killing Hades!! Too bad it was too late to save Robin :cry:

I gotta stop watching this show before work... I had to clean my face so I didn't look like a tear-stained mess!!

Spoiler
WTF, ABC? How dare they kill Robin? And not just kill him... like, obliterate his soul! That's not fair! Now he can't be saved.... At least Regina isn't alone this time though... She and Zelena can support each other through the pain of their true loves dying.... Poor ladies.. Zelena was right. It would never be enough for Hades. He was empty and bitter for far, far too long. I'm just glad that she isn't left without love again... she knows that her mother really DID love her, and she has a sister who loves her.... Let's just hope these two don't harden up again with this loss.....

But hey, I got some happy tears too. Hook is back! I guess this is Zeus' way of apologizing for what Hades did... he can't return Robin, but he can save Hook..... And I'm glad Arthur is getting some resolution and redemption. I mean.... I feel bad for the people of Camelot, suddenly without their king, Merlin, and of course the Queen's all messed up... but hopefully they'll be freed with Arthur's passing... which was shockingly brutal! Good god, I forgot this was technically a Disney show in that moment, he just snapped his neck, and in front of the baby! And now, ironically, Arthur can finally be at peace. The pressure of the failed prophecy is gone.. the anguish is lifted, and the good man he was is breaking free of the paranoia and obsession. He had the chance to go to eternal happiness and peace... and chose to stay and fix the Underworld. To save people, and finally fulfill the grand destiny Merlin promised him. In a way... that is his happiness. Maybe he can actually make the Underworld what it's supposed to be... a place to weigh a soul's worth and send them where they need to go. I'd like that....

Time to bring in Father Time (this is my excuse for them to finally cast Bruce Campbell-come on!) to change everything back to the way it was, like in season one. All cast included, lol.

Previous seasons have been starting in mid September. I guess Ginny is pregnant again?? and well, they've got to wrap things up because it's obvious, lol.
 
My biggest fear as with pretty much EVERY show I've ever committed to (that isn't a classic re-run) is that they get mid season cut with no resolution.

Just watched the season finale...

Spoiler
I actually really liked it. I loved that Henry made everyone believe in magic. Loved that Emma told Hook she loved him again in "normal" circumstances. I hope they stop messing with them. I love those two together.

Then there's Regina. I think the storyline to come could be interesting with the evil queen being separated from Regina. Can't wait to see what they do with that. I knew the evil queen couldn't have gone away that easily. But I'm also interested to see how Regina acts without the evil queen inside her...

Not a big fan of Dr Jekyll and mr Hyde to begin with, so I didn't love that part of the episode. But we'll see what happens in the next season as it looks like those two are sticking around for now.

Where in the realms is Rumple??

GREAT finale last night, the best part was the minimal commercial breaks  :iconclap:

Spoiler
The great stories in literature is an interesting road for the show to embark on, lots of possibilities. When they showed the blimp in the forest in the opening, I thought it was going to be about 'Around the World in 80 Days.' Not sure how Regina and the Evil Queen being separated is going to work, I mean, you have to live with your dark past and move on (she should just ask Hook for advice), but I guess we'll just see in September!

Rumple is in the land of unfinished stories or whatever they called it.
The thing that bugs me is that a heart was crushed. When you crush a heart the person dies. Ergh. So, who's heart was in Evil Regina's chest... Well, gotta have something for season 6ish...

So, who else LOVED seeing Rumple get kicked in the nuts for his bad choices again? Since we know that Belle is snugly safe in Pandora's Box, I don't feel bad at all for LOVING the devastation on his face when she fell through the portal... Serves him right. He once again chose magic over her, and paid the price. Serves him right. It seems that Hyde doesn't really care who's in the box, or even about getting her out. He has her, knows that the Dark One loves her, and that's all that matters. So really, it's very likely no harm will come to her. He's got the Box, that's all that he needs. The Dark Grail is troubling... BUT, might it be possible to make a new dagger from it?? I suppose they'd need Merlin for that though.... we don't know what happened to him, besides the vague hint that Hook's first thing as the Dark One was to kill him? Before Emma wiped everyone and rushed them to Storybrooke. But I loved seeing all those other great stories in the Once Records. Paul Bunyun, the Arabian Nights.... so much potential!!

Um...because they kill off someone every season and the majority of the time, they come back? It was an okay episode, but I'm really looking forward to the Evil Queen being back. Lana Parrilla does a fantastic job bringing that character to life.

Gotta say, the episode was really interesting. I like the use of little Stiltskin being affected by the sand too...and I find it really neat that because his father is the Dark One, it seems he's going to be VERY powerful magically. And he looks like he's going to be really fascinating. He seems to really want Belle to be safe and to stay away from Rumple.... how it works out is going to be something to follow.

And maybe Regina will have her happy ending in the end thanks to Henry... I hope so!

I feel bad for Rumple though....losing Belle and losing another son before that son is even born. I know he did bring it upon himself though. Belle has given him umpteen chances and he keeps deceiving her about things.

If the show sticks to it's original theme of being Emma's fairy tale, I'd be surprised to see them kill her off (especially after just killing off Killian last season, even if they then brought him back.)

I get the feeling that there was a lot more going on in that scene with the Oracle than it seemed. I didn't trust her much. Then again, I don't take a lot of what happens on that show at face value.  :)

It was an okay episode. I like that Belle stuck to her guns and did not let Gold wake her up. I wish Emma would tell someone (particularly Killian) what was going on with her; I'm getting pretty tired of all of the angst the two of them have. I'm hopeful for the Land of Untold Stories theme, but the last story arc I really liked was Frozen (s4 A,) so I'll see how it goes.

Sorry if I was unclear.  Belle woke up but, far as I could tell, Gold wasn't the one to wake her - that was their son.

Saw the long awaited new episode and it was awesome^^

Just watched.  It was fun but I had a few issues...  under the spoiler cut:

Spoiler
Like, how did the wardrobe tree suddenly fit three people (Emma, Regina and Robin?)  Wasn't there a whole rule about how it only fits two?  They did a whole flashback episode about this in season 1.  It irks me when the writers forget key details like this.  And speaking of...

Much as I like August, he does *not* get to be off the hook for convincing Neal to abandon Emma and then stealing her money.  He was not always looking out for her.  He convinced Neal to let her go so that she could fulfill her destiny (which landed her in jail,) and then he stole the money that Neal had set aside for her.  I'm not a Neal fan (and I don't hate August,) but, like I said, I don't like it when shows forget their own history.

That said, I appreciated that they finally referenced the Ugly Duckling storyline.  I enjoyed seeing Robin.  I enjoyed Wish World Hook's brief cameo.  :)  And I really enjoyed Emma and August's friendship in this episode.

This is a spoiler thread so not putting any of mine under a spoiler tag but:

The flashback to August and kid Emma did confuse me.  I thought that once he had abandoned his duty to take care of her when she was still a baby (always thought that was too much to put on a little boy btw), I thought he didn't see her again until he found her in Storybrook.  And wow was alternate Hook an absolute mess.

It was so awesome to see Once Upon a Time again.  My favorite character is Rumpelstiltskin but something has changed about his appearance.  I don't mean Mr. Gold but I think Rumpelstiltskin's make up is a different shade of gold and his hair looked different.  I can't put my finger on it though.

I agree with Koudoawaia  I too thought the same thing.  But, I guess the writers can do what they want.  So, we can assume now that Emma made up her own last name?  I wonder if they'll get into the story of what her real last name was and maybe see her parents before she was given up to live in a foster home?  Or, did she run away from home sorry I can't remember?

Oh, I was never mad at him for leaving her when he was little - I also think that was far too much pressure on a little boy.  I have issues with what August and Neal did to Emma when they were adults and decided that prison was a good idea.

But, yeah, I was under the impression that they never saw each other until much, much later.  I still don't believe he was keeping tabs on her. 

"Grandpa Hook" was fun, though.  :)

It was so awesome to see Once Upon a Time again.  My favorite character is Rumpelstiltskin but something has changed about his appearance.  I don't mean Mr. Gold but I think Rumpelstiltskin's make up is a different shade of gold and his hair looked different.  I can't put my finger on it though.

I agree with Koudoawaia  I too thought the same thing.  But, I guess the writers can do what they want.  So, we can assume now that Emma made up her own last name?  I wonder if they'll get into the story of what her real last name was and maybe see her parents before she was given up to live in a foster home?  Or, did she run away from home sorry I can't remember?
I feel like the Rumple we saw was close to the pilot version in his look... Many characters that were in that "wish land" didn't quite look like themselves.

I enjoyed this episode. I guess Regina will get her happy ending; even though DEAD IS DEAD...

I actually thought Emma's vision was going to come true in this episode but maybe they'll be another fight between them later on which will be Emma's vision.  I'm sure Belle and Mr. Gold's son will try several times to kill Emma before her vision comes true.

Post by: Koudoawaia on March 08, 2017, 10:26:19 AM
Maybe but I thought it didn't come true because she came to the realization that she could change her fate. Since Belle and Gold's son did get away though, there is definitely a chance for plenty more encounters. Plus holy crap what he did to that poor clock at the end of the episode.

I agree about the clock.  The clock to me is a symbol of storybrooke like it's icon.  It's been smashed before though and they usually have it as good as new the next episode.  :biggrin:

I know you guys are still here! Sound off-- I want to know how we're feeling about a musical episode. Yay or nay?


I for one am nay.

While I love a good Disney singalong, I enjoy that OUAT has kept things adult, with very few musical numbers thus far...

I LOVE musicals and I LOVE Disney songs...but I am super iffy about this musical episode. I'll watch it, of course, but I'm not sure about it.

I so loved the musical episode, but I have one issue Granny Hood can't sing.

Best song is Hook's Revenge is gonna be mine.

Why did that ugly Black Fairy had to ruin the end with that curse.

This really isn't a spoiler but I thought that the Evil Queen and the wicked witch's bosoms would pop out that would of been  :blush:

Yes I knew she was leaving. I just hope that they won't be a new series because it wouldn't be the same without Jennifer Morrison.  :cry: :cry:

Yeah I heard about Jenn leaving. I kind of don't want them to continue the show because how can they unless they kill her off or send her and Hook away? (Then we lose Hook).

Post by: Koudoawaia on May 09, 2017, 08:52:24 AM
...........I had no idea she was leaving. o.o That really sucks that the main actress is leaving. What will become of the show?

I LOVED the musical episode. Oh my goodness it was so epic. My husband and I bought the soundtrack off Amazon. Just...wow. I gotta admit I fell against him laughing a bit at the end when yet /another/ curse washed over them. These people are curse magnets, I swear. This makes the fourth one I think? I've been rewatching the whole series with my husband since he hasn't seen it before and we're on season 4. It's been long enough that I've forgotten a lot of things so not sure if there's a curse I'm forgetting about between seasons 4 which he's currently on and season 6.  He did watch the musical episode with me and I'm so glad he did. That being a wedding episode, I much rather would've watched that with him than alone and it wasn't too spoilerish for him thankfully. I'm excited for the two-hour season finale. Is that this coming Sunday?

Her contract is up and she would rather go and try something new and different. She mentioned to come back for an episode or two if needed.

I haven't been a fan of this season really. I don't like Emma and Hook as a couple. I don't know why the writers thought that was a good idea unless fans wanted it. I would rather they kept Robin around to be with Regina and Emma could have stayed single.

Oh wow, I didn't realize she did network TV for THIRTEEN YEARS solid-  I think she does deserve a break...

I also think the show will fail without her.  I suppose they could turn the focus to Regina but it may not be enough.  I will admit I stopped watching the show at some point. I tend to watch it late at night while trying to get the baby to sleep or folding laundry... when the bad writing and ridiculous dialogue doesn't bother me so much.

Agreed. The whole premise of this show is really about her bond with Henry and being the savior. Where do you go when the savior is dead?

Season 1 and 2 were pretty easy going and enticing, but now I'm having a hard time keeping track of things. If they're going to continue its time to simplify. I will be curious for how it all really ends, they should be sent back to the enchanted forest to have their happy endings...

The chatter on FB is that Morrison, Dallas and Goodwin are exiting. But there's been a renewal for season 7...
That's a mass exodus for main characters; I bet we'll see a major split in the fan base for next season if they do step back. Its a matter of where do you go from here, how much resurrecting can be done to keep story lines fresh. We've got some strong supporting characters, but many others that were fan favorites throughout the seasons have found their happy endings. I get that there's been a wanting to explore other stories, but if there's any Star Wars pulled into this I'm out, lol.

Hmmm. Well they could certainly find a way to do a Regina-centered spin off. That could be interesting if they do it right. But otherwise, sounds like the show may very well be ending.

I heard they have an actor from Walking Dead going to play an adult Henry.

At the end we see his daughter. So the new season is basically a redoing of Season 1

Oh and Belle is leaving too.

New time slot is on Friday. I honestly think we'll be lucky if they make it through a full season before being cancelled. If a re-boot is going to happen I still think things need to be kept simple; a lot of new characters to introduce.
Sitting here watching the part one of the season ender and regret lalalaing through the musical episode because I'm lost. Oh well, gonna have to sit through it again to get on track.

I write them down because I'm planning on doing my own version of Once Upon a Time FanFiction story. Rumple isn't the Beast so that version of Belle isn't in it. I decided to have Belle and the Beast from the new Beauty and the Beast movie (heck the whole cast ini it).

I was curious as to how Henry's kid is of a different race.  I assumed that maybe he married or had kids with his girlfriend and she's white.  Sorry I felt weird bringing this up.  I'd be interesting to know what happened to the little girl's Mom and how Henry left storybrook and his family basically.  Unless for some reason storybrook disappeared and everyone had to go to the real world forever or something.  I imagine Henry would move to New York since he loved living there.

At least this time around storybrook isn't new, we've been exposed to it but my only guess is it'll be like season one but backwards some how or opposite.  Something happened and Henry didn't know he had a daughter like Emma didn't know she had a son or forgot or something.  Probably Henry's daughter will have to get Henry to believe in magic like Henry did for Emma.  Henry was the truest believer so I wonder how he would have lost faith in magic.  I hope they do a flashback or something to connect the new season with the old season, unless they do flashbacks like they did with the new season where instead of showing them in the enchanted time of the past they show them in storybrook or something. 

I've loved this show from the beginning and don't want it to end but I would also hate to have to stop watching it because they didn't get creative enough with the whole starting over thing.

Just looks like everyone continues on with their life based on the season ender. Gonna have to be a doozie to undo everything and not seem far-fetched. Throw fakies at me, but his kiddo isn't very cute (think of casting for this show, all about looks...) I would wager that he ends up in a more involved relationship with his crush from FTL (yeah I can't remember her name, that's how much I've committed myself to remembering this season).

Here's what IMDB has listed for season 7 cast:
 
 
Lana Parrilla  Lana Parrilla   ... 
Regina Mills / Evil Queen
 
Gabrielle Anwar   
 
Robert Carlyle  Robert Carlyle   ... 
Rumplestiltskin / Mr. Gold
 
Alison Fernandez     ... 
Lucy
 
Jared Gilmore   ... 
Henry Mills
 
Adelaide Kane   

 
Colin O'Donoghue    ... 
Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones
 
Dania Ramirez   

 
Andrew J. West    ... 
Henry Mills

Of course there will be another curse, separating everyone and it's set in the near future in some place called hyperion heights (first episode title... my assumption here)

If this is a new storybook then I'd be curious how they're recycling in original cast members. Cinderella is a completely different person...? Officially out of ideas, I'm a kill joy, not very enticing tbh. Will at least give it a chance and watch Friday night.

a time and I like seeing the actors from the previous series but having everyone as new people and starting over with a new curse finding different versions of fairy tale characters.  I mean I enjoyed it some but some it made me feel like a sequel to a great movie and the sequel wasn't quite the same and left you feeling disappointed.

I just finished watching the first episode online since I'm at work during its new airtime 9.9 I liked it well enough. Lines between Lucy and Henry kept making me have flashbacks to the first episodes with Henry and Emma though lol.  I also really don't like Alice. She's one of those intense and really in your face while being intense types and I don't like that at all. This episode kept giving me the kinds of feelings the other ones did though so I call that a success and will be waiting til next week to be able to see episode 2 on the ABC.go site since we use antennaes to watch over the air channels.
