The Once Upon a Time Discussion thread *Spoilers*

[Sukeile]

We finally got to see Mickey Mouse!
Not what I expected but kinda fun

So now that we are getting Fantasia stuff I hope there will be baby pegasi and centaurettes!

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

After one good episode this last one let me down so hard. Who did not see anything that happened in it coming? It was so predictable that it was painful...are they even trying to tell a good story anymore?

[ponyqueen]

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!

[mlp4me]

It was OK. I like how Henry now gets to be Rumple's apprentice...

[Shenanigans]

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

Does anyone else miss Ruby? She was one of my favorite characters! I want to see more Storybrooke characters interacted with. The dwarves, Granny, Archie... and bring Ruby back!

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 

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

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.

[ponyqueen]

So many queens! Elsa, Regina, the Snow Queen, and Snow!! Not to mention Emma is a Princess... really enjoyed this latest episode!

[Sukeile]

It was a good episode, I had fun

[ponyqueen]

So who is the girl with the star on her wrist? You know she'll turn up again!

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.

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

[ponyqueen]

You're right.... I barely knew who Harry Potter was in 2000.

Also, I recognized a lot of modern brands/products/packaging on grocery items when they were in the convenience store. lol... there's Kohoku Rose rice, that's what we buy!

[Starie]

I have to say, acting wise, the snow queen is the best villain we've had since Regina, downright evil in that scene with Sidney, I thought that was great

[Aitsuki]

This episode had some interesting developments! The sisters, the history between Anna and Belle, the scene with Belle and Rumple...

So happy Belle is getting a bit more of her own story finally!

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! 

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….
