ABC's Once Upon a Time - Part 8

[Primal Slayer]

I do hope there is more to the rest of the season. Because I am not eager for them to be playing Touched By An Angel in the Underworld.

 

[Sawyer]

I'm half rolling my eyes that Regina's father forgave her so easily, half okay with it because that little weakling did next to nothing to stop Cora from abusing Regina when she was growing up, so eh. The goodbye between them was kind of nice, with Henry involved and all. There better be a scene with him and [blackout]Neal[/blackout], at some point, though.

 

[Sithborg]

Regina being held responsible for her actions? What nonsense...

There were definitely some good interactions in the underworld. It's just the whole "let's save everyone from the Underworld" bit just doesn't thrill me. Especially when at least half of them are likely there due to Regina.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I was expecting something bigger for their big 100.

 

[Mani-Man]

Wow, a episode that doesnt have Regina act as if she is superior to everybody else(current time regina)?
Thats new.

For the 100th episode, it was a bit weak...but not as bad as expected.
The scenes with Henry sr were quite nice, his last scene was imo one of OUAT strongest scenes so far.

I love Hades already, he is so great...the villians in this show are often the most fun characters.

Rumple is still a *******, i hate the guy by now...cant they just leave him there and take someone else with them please?

Cora hasnt changed that much, im glad.

James is a *****e...im already enjoying the whole charming/james twin brother thing.

Jimminy is a perv...lol.

What i absolutly hate is how the show constantly tries to paint [BLACKOUT]neal[/BLACKOUT] as a hero.

Spoiler

He was and always will be a ******* who left his 16 year old girlfriend in jail.
They were not some kind of great true love, the guy didnt even bother to look for her...even after he knew where she was.
He would have run away from Emma if not for Henry.
Also they really want to tell me that Emma would have gone to the underworld for him? Please, she was already long over him before she climbed the beanstalk with hook...after that he was just there.

The season so far looks very interesting, im excited for next weeks episode.

He died to save all their lives.

Spoiler

Neal left Emma because he was told that was the best thing to do by August. Why would he look for her when he didn't know she was pregnant and had had a kid and he had moved on with someone else at the time. By Emma's own admission, she still loved Neal by the time he was sucked into the portal at the end of season 2.

God bless you! God bless everyone!

That is what the show wants me to believe...but:

Spoiler

All i see is, that in a show were true love never gives up, always believes, is risking everything...Neal Cassidy believed the word of a stranger and left Emma.
He knew that she believes herself to be not enough for anybody, and he walks out on her...while she gets arrested.
The show has the arrogance and wants to tell me that it was for the best?
They want to tell me that he is such a good man and he was once emmas true love...compare it to any other couple on the show and tell me the difference!

Of course Emma still loved him, she forgave the woman who was the reason her life was miserable...without getting some kind of revenge or anything.
She will always love Neal, because of Henry...without neal, there would be no henry...so there is that.

Fact is, the show paints Neal cassidy as a heroic, kind hearted man...but i dont see it that way.

After two episodes' worth of incredibly disappointing narrative decisions, Once returned to top form with "Souls of the Departed", and I'm actually optimistic for the direction of the remainder of the season. It was fun getting to see Cora again, and to find out exactly how, why, and when Henry the First ended up in a heart box in Wonderland, and I also liked the way they organically brought back Pan and the Blind Witch.

I do wish people would accurately label the episode as the 101st of the series (which it is by airing order), but that's beside the point.

Anyone expecting a viewer increase for Once Upon a Time since the actress for Snow White is voicing one of the characters in the latest Disney movie, Disney's Zootopia?

 

[Primal Slayer]

no.

Would be nice, but i doubt it.
The Ratings are okay however, so im not worried that it gets cancelled any time soon(it was the first show that got renewed from abc this year right?)

nope, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD got renewed first

 

[SuperBatman]

nope, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD got renewed first

Actually it didn't there was news of once before the news of agents of shield and the other shows got announced.

 

[Mani-Man]

Either way, it was renewed early...so that speaks for itself.

And from what i gather is that initial ratings arent that important any longer as they once were.
I dont know how the ratings work, but i hear more and more that the "live" ratings arent the absolute.

The Ratings are okay.

 

[Teelie]

In the networks slow to adapt response to the reality of DVR's and streaming they now use Live+7 ratings, so they use the ratings from up to a week after the initial airing.

 

[Avenging Angel]

It was honestly underwhelming for a 100th episode mid season premiere. A few things I liked...

Pan/Rumples scene. Love to see the one person Rumple is scared of return.

Regina/Cora/Henry scene. Good to see Regina finally start to change. No wonder Hades is afraid of her staying in the Underworld.

Hades was great. Perfect sarcasm mixed with darkness.

Hook is clearly getting beat to a pulp by someone. Maybe someone Hades hired? Curious to know more there...

I thought there would be something big they would do, I only liked it I didn't love it.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

is this 100 episode cast thing suppose to continue on in to the next episodes? because some of those characters would be really odd to just have pop up in this one.. and not in anymore

 

[Sawyer]

Hercules and Meg tonight.

 

[Lobo]

Re subscribing

 

[Milos]

Loved Regina centric 100th episode. No suprise that this one was all about Regina.
The best ep of the season so far.
Minimal Hook was a nice bonus.

 

[regnak]

I had low expectations for teenage Herc but damn, not that low. The way the show did it Robin Hood and 2 of his merry men could have killed Cerberus easily. Actually unless they said you had to kill all three heads once and I missed it Robin Hood could have done it by himself. Sad. I would have loved to see a Sorbo level or higher Hercules beating the crap out of Rumple for as long as I could get, he has it coming.

As for the last scene if I were Hook I would be inscribing the name of my good friend Mr. Gold, probably won't work it's worth a try in case there is some sort of magic on the tombstones.

 

[Sawyer]

"I don't want to be Mary Margaret anymore. I wanna be Snow White."

Thank. F***ing. GAAAAAAWD.

Tired of her own husband calling her by her cursed name.

 

[<(o_o)>]

Wonder how much Henry will screw things up when he finds the Author's Quill? Does Cruella really deserve a second chance or just remain one of the many villains that can never be redeemed?

 

[Sawyer]

Bringing back Cruella? Eh. She can't kill anybody, so she's a minimal threat.

Now if he decided to bring back Cora...

 

[PyroChamber]

I think they kind of messed up with Meg. Or maybe I was just use to how she was in the movie.
