Once Upon A Time

So I am a big Wizard of Oz fan but I just cant get behind this Wicked Witch. Call me old fashioned but she is just too pretty. I suppose that is to make her more likeable but I wish they at least made her plain.

Now Rumple.....in the previous curse Gold had Rumples memory too. Do you think this time Rumple will have Golds memory?

[Jackie]

I don't know, Rumble seems to have gone a bit insane. I think the Wicked Witch did something to him.

[Robyn]

Could he be faking so as to get back to his family to help?

[♡Karlyn P♡]

Based on last nights episode, it appears the Wicked Witch will be going after courage, heart and a brain. I assume Rumple is the 'brain', and we saw her take Prince Charming's sword with 'courage'. The 'heart', I assume, will be Snow White's.

Personally, I am enjoying this twist but so far it hasn't developed into much. I keep waiting for the 'meat' of the story to happen.

[Robyn]

whoa, Karlyn! I didn't even make that connection. Good job! I bet Snow Whites "heart" will be kidnapping the baby.

[Robyn]

Hmm....but what about Home? Or does she already have that with the farm house?

[♡Karlyn P♡]

Last Season there was an episode about Snow's pure heart turning black, and I can't remember if it healed or not. So it might be baby's heart Wicked Witch goes for. I am just guessing, but it makes sense given the whole Oz storyline. (Does that mean Emma is 'Dorothy' and Henry is 'Toto'? LOL)

I wonder if the show will take us to Oz. Wouldn't that be cool.

That is brilliant! What an astute observation! Totally went over my head.

[Timothy]

As for rumple being nuts. I think that is because his mr.gold personality is gone and he is pure rumple.

[♡Karlyn P♡]

So who else is shocked about Neal?! Well, at least now we know why Gold was so confused.

[Jackie]

That was brilliant! Storytelling, I mean.
I wasn't shocked because I didn't believe Neal was really dead, I thought they'd find a way to bring him back. Only today am I reading that he's really dead. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live...

Me too, I was only thinking of when/how they would bring him back. But when I read they really did kill him off I was shocked.

[Robyn]

That is the thing about this show, you'll never believe when someone dies! I kept thinking "all that talk about True Love and Emma doesn't even try to kiss him or drop a tear on him and Gold's kiss does nothing?!"

[Jackie]

Yes, Roxy! That's exactly what I thought, True Love reviving/saving a person is a big theme here. I think in choosing Neal to die they made a big mistake in that no one really believed it, how could we?
And you're right about Emma's reaction too, because if she wasn't upset, then she must know something, right? Neal's death really didn't have the impact it should have. When the Huntsman died, I was more upset and I wasn't invested in him as a character. I'm upset today because now I know Neal is really gone.

[Robyn]

exactly

[JackieR]

I think she has much more chemistry with hook, and maybe killing off Neal was the only way to explore that. I actually thought the acting through that death was terrible.

[Robyn]

yes! especially Neals!

[Jackie]

LOVE Regina and Emma working together. The scene at the end of them all eating dinner together was lovely.
Hook is an idiot, why didn't he just tell Regina and Emma what happened? They should know what they're up against.

[Robyn]

yes! I was thinking the same thing on all accounts.
and Hook really needs to ger some cloths. He is the only character still in other relm cloths.

[Jackie]

LOL, true about Hook's clothes!

Tonight was a fantastic episode, by far my favorite of the entire season.

[Prashamsa]

ok, i am one episode behind but can somebody please explain Cora and Eva's timeline to me. First Cora was supposed to marry Leopold and Eva destroys it, marries Leopold herself and then in another kingdom Eva makes fun of Cora for being the Miller's daughter, Cora then learns to spin straw into gold and marries another prince, after Eva dies Leopold somehow comes to Cora's place and marries her daughter?

[Robyn]

Prash, I was wondering about some of that too. You remembered more then I.

[Timothy]

Season finale tomarrow 2hr event will scarlet aka the nave from alice in wonderland will guest star :) also we got picked up for a 4th season :)

[Jackie]

That is fantastic! I love Michael Socha.

Any predictions on where we're heading next?

[Timothy]

New teritory :)

[Jackie]

Yeah, but where?

[Randy]

The land of Shrek? :)

[Robyn]

whatever happen to Red? They made a point of showing her in the season opener and that was it.

[Jackie]

She was on a different show, but that's been cancelled. Hoping to see her back on OUAT next year.

[Robyn]

ha! I spoke to soon. she made it into the finale.

[Robyn]

so who was that at the end?

[Randy]

Hmmm. After Emma prevented the original meeting of her parents, why did she and Hook think they needed to do anything? If Emma had changed it so that Snow White and Charming wouldn't get together, then Emma should have disappeared, just like the pages in the book.

Good to see Red back. :)

[Jackie]

I didn't see the Knave in the finale, must have been quick and I missed it.

I'm pretty sure it's the queen from OUAT in Wonderland. I hope not because I couldn't stand her, she's a big part of why I dropped out of it.

That so sucks for Regina! Marion. Pffsst. Not liking this one bit.

So what was all that on last week's preview saying we're not gonna guess where we're going next?

[Timothy]

Alternate reality curse.

[Robyn]

I think they were refering to Hook and Emma going into the past.

entertaining episode, very back to the future. buy it really irritated me that Hook and Emma were going to bring someone back without even knowing who it was. I am not happy about the appearance of Maid Marian. I was content with a fairytale happy ending.

Someone else I know thought the person at the end was from Frozen.

[♡Karlyn P♡]

The woman at the end was Elsa from the newest Disney movie Frozen:

[Jackie]

Going onto the past was the obvious, stupid misleading preview! lol

Ah, TY for Frozen girl. So glad it's not that hideous Red Queen. Whew!

[♡Karlyn P♡]

Jackie wrote: "So glad it's not that hideous Red Queen. Whew!"

No kidding! I didn't like her either, she was poorly cast IMO.

Elsa isn't evil, so not sure what havoc she will bring to Story Brook. I've seen the movie twice and LOVED it, so I am excited to see how OUAT spins this. I noticed a ton of Disney ads during last nights episode, so I have no doubt that Disney will control the character development closely since they are now a major sponsor.

[Robyn]

I agree, going to the past was an obvious next step.

I liked this episode as a season (or potential series) wrap up but not as an lead in to next season. the addition of Maide Marion, Regina's reaction and the mysterious object/person felt so last minute, like they decided they wanted an opening in case they got renewed.
an acquaintance suspected Elsa feom Frozen too but was annoyed by this since she said Frozen is not based on an actual fairy tale.

I did think the Oz wrap up was rushed too.

I read that Frozen was loosely based on the The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen, so maybe that is enough to tribute it as a 'fairy tale'?

[Jackie]

Renewed

[Timothy]

Nice I will need to read the snow queen :) frozen was great I wonder how much will tie in :)

[Claire]

'Once Upon a Time' Bosses on 'Frozen' Reveal: We Want to Do It Justice (Q&A)

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live...

[Jackie]

I guess I will be watching Frozen, then, lol

[Robyn]

*sigh* I may watch it to, thought I am not sure. I was going to drop OUAT after the Pan season until I learned they were doing Oz. I have two sons so I am proud to say we have not a stitch of frozen merchandizing in our house but the curiosity is starting to get to me. Maybe

[♡Karlyn P♡]

Ladies, do give it a try. I got dragged to the theater to see Frozen or I may never have watched it. It ended up being both hilarious and well written. When it was playing on a flight I recently took, I had to watch it again. Even my husband watched it on the plane with me and enjoyed it. I really can't imagine anyone not at least liking it. Elsa's younger sister, Anna, is actually the star of the movie, although Elsa plays a large role too. So I assume Anna will make it to OUAT too.

[Timothy]

and this is what every one needs to read :)

[Jackie]

I read it and there was also a movie some years ago I vaguely remember seeing.
