ABC's Once Upon a Time - Part 4

[Teelie]

There are also fans that are convinced that SwanQueen is a viable pairing on this show. Fans aren't always right.

I agree it's unlikely but it would have solved all those issues over who Henry's mother was.

This seems like they may be "Vegeta-ing" up Regina and have TWWoTW as THE new baddie. Again though, at least with Snow White and some others you have the out of explaining things because the true origin of many of the famous Grimm tales has been lost to the winds of time. We KNOW that Baum wrote the Oz books. This still irks me, but since Snow and family and Regina were center from the start it didn't bother to much. The main baddie being a character whom we know was created (in America, no less) by a real life person is more problematic. And yes, I know I said I was over it. Seems I'm not. I gotta work on that.

Supernatural did it no problems. Of course their take was slightly different in that he was writing from experience but the same idea can apply. How ever he learned of and wrote about Oz can be applied to all the other fairy-tales from the book.

Captain Swan fans.

The fact that Hook's kiss didn't break Regina's false memory spell makes it pretty clear that he's not Emma's True Love (even while this whole 'triangle' thing is still going on), but I've seen CS shippers acting like and claiming that the exact opposite is true.

It's possible she remembered something but felt too scared by it to acknowledge it. Something like learning your entire life was a lie can be hard to process and accept. But I'm only presenting a possibility, not proof.

Damn, what an awesome episode!

I just hope [BLACKOUT]Rumple isn't dead for good! But if he is, it was an awesome way to go out.[/BLACKOUT]

Undoing =/= dead. He can still be very much alive but no longer the Dark One. Whether he retains any powers (given the way he ended it) could be debatable.

Also when the curse was broke by Regina it "undid" Storybrooke. That's how it had to happen to prevent Pan's curse from taking effect at all so the Storybrooke we knew is gone (at least for the moment). Since Regina is the original creator of the curse, only she could stop it from taking effect again after Pan cast it.

Regina mentioned that all the memories from Story Brooke would be erased, right? Hopefully that was only for Emma and Henry, since it would be pretty crappy for Regina to forget she's turning into a good guy. Hook obviously remembers, so hopefully I'm just remembering wrong.

 

[O'Haire]

For first half of the season

It's really sad that people care enough about this to count the minutes up.

As I recall it will only affect Emma and Henry. Everyone else should have their memories.

It would've only happened for Emma and Henry, but Regina stopped it from happening by casting her false memory spell on them. Everyone else retained all of their memories both true and false, including Regina.

any other uk viewers heard that channel 5 has decided to drop OUAT and not bring season 3 to the uk

shame hopefully another network grabs it

 

[Primal Slayer]

Has it been performing bad over there?

 

[JP]

Well, to be fair, we don't really know yet how much of that world we'll see just yet, since it seems like she's in the Enchanted Forest already when everyone is sent back, since she's in Regina's castle and wearing some of her clothes. Plus, with the theories that she was the Black Fairy mentioned, her exile was likely to Oz and she may not want to go back.

I'm sure there will still be the inevitable back story episode that takes us to said world.

But you're right. They've had a lot planned from the beginning and I adored the first half of this season.

I remember Milos posting that in the Smallville threads too.

Question: Belle is one of my favorites on Once Upon A Time and I’m really disappointed in how little we’ve seen of her in the first half of Season 3. Please tell me she’ll have a bigger role in the second half! Will she at least have her own -centric episode? —Tara
Ausiello: I’m going to venture yes on getting a new Belle flashback, seeing as for Episode 15 the show is casting an “uppity,” “know-it-all” servant who must, repeat must, have a French accent. The character also is named “Lawrence,” which, I must observe, starts with the same letter as “Lumiere.”

Question: Two Once Upon a Time questions, pretty please! Rumple can’t really be dead, right? And is the Wicked Witch really the Black Fairy? –Ashley
Ausiello: Second things first: Sources say it’s unlikely that Rebecca Mader’s iconic villainess is also the Black Fairy who got name-checked in the midseason finale. As for Rumplestiltskin’s fate, I’ll remind you of what the Once creators told us a few weeks back, as they measured their words carefully. “To the Rumbellers out there, we hope that you enjoy what we have in store. In the second half of the season, they are going to be in the same world for an extended period of time,” Adam Horowitz said. Eddy Kitsis then added, “The second half of the season will further explore their relationship – in whatever state that is.” Sounds alive-ish to me, right…?

Hmmm...

 

[John Locke]

Maybe the Black Fairy is actually the Blue Fairy. One of the major theories out there is that Blue is evil so maybe she is Black and killed the real Blue and then took over her form.... Which as I'm typing I realize sounds like the Final Season of Lost.

At this point i doubt blue is black. Hopefully black is Mal if she isn't the WW.

I suppose "banished" could just mean "de-fairied"

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I think the whole think with Rumple and Pan was about the Seer Rumple met. "A boy shall be your undoing."

Good observation.

 

[#root]

Wow that was quite an episode . Excited by the change in status quo. Can't wait till the show's back. For a minute there, I really thought Rumple was gonna cut off his hand!

 

[Sawyer]

Am I the only one hoping to see some Belle/Neal stuff in the second half?

I hope you don't mean them having a romantic relationship....

If not, than yes, I would love to see them interact together more.

So if Neal shows up in NYC, Emma should definitely recognize him, right?

 

[X-Ray]

If it leads to Hook/Emma. Sure, why the hell not.

Sorry papa.

 

[Sawyer]

So if Neal shows up in NYC, Emma should definitely recognize him, right?

I would think so. I think the false memories would only diverge from the real ones when Emma decided she wanted to keep Henry. I doubt Regina would plant false one where, like, Emma got rufied at a frat party or something... though that would be quite a Regina thing to do. I'm sure Milos could think of at least a half dozen reasons that Regina would be perfectly justified in doing so, too.

I think I remember a reference to my fave Disney princess, Jasmine, showing up on either Once Upon a Time or Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. But with so much Jafar and Agrabah in Wonderland, I can’t help but wonder if we’ll see Aladdin on either show. –Audrey
Not sure where you saw said “reference,” but delete that bookmark, pronto. Presented with the idea of Jasmine or Aladdin showing up on either Once series any time soon, EP Eddy Kitsis assured me, “That is not true.” So don’t pack your bags for Vancouver just yet, Azita and Sendhil!


Would you know what the Wicked Witch’s name is on Once Upon a Time? There’s some speculation that it’s Elphaba (from the Wicked musical) while others think it’s Theodora (from the Disney-owned Oz, The Great and Powerful). Also, It seems that all the major villains in the show so far are related to Henry. Will the Wicked Witch be related to him as well? –Natalie
As a matter of fact, I address both those questions, my pretty, in the upcoming installment of Spoiler Alert!, posting Saturday.

I was hoping for the same thing!
That would be great, Bell needs a younger man even if he's frumpy.
It's still better than wrinkled grandpa Rumple.

 

[WorthyStevens]

As if the Wicked Witch's appearance didn't give it away, Once is going to Oz!

George: In desperate need of OUAT scoop, especially anything on the spin they'll be putting on The Wizard of Oz!


Pack your bags 'cause we're hitting the yellow brick road. Sources tell us the show is actually going to Oz. Producers are in the process of figuring out what they can and can't use, based on what comes from the books, the movie or the Broadway musical. Most of what we see will be taken from the books, like the flying monkeys!

Interesting, hope they arent in Ozs scary forest the entire time.
