Once Upon A Time

[Lex]

Spoiler

Haven't seen the first episode yet but did see last night's episode. I really like Georgina Haig as Elsa and I knew I would, however the show has not given me any reason to agree with their decision to adapt Frozen.

I get that since Ginnifer Goodwin gave birth she can't for the time being be doing physically demanding stuff but seriously the writers can't come up with anything better for her to do than fixing a power plant?

Also Bo Peep, what the fuck was that accent supposed to be?

Just watched. Yeah that accent was pretty horrendous.

I'll be honest though, I'm not hating it. I was kind of immediately bored with the flashback sequences tbh. It was all I could do not to skip forward while I was watching

Spoiler

I just knew Emma and Elsa were going to bond over their powers.

I also agree about the flashback, it was quite boring. Bo Peep (and her accent), very meh. The whole Regina/Henry hug at the end was all d'aww, but I find myself disappointed Regina was sidelined after a spectacular semi-return to the dark side.

Also, is that the Snow Queen in the ice cream place? The only one I think of is her from Narnia.

Oh snap, Juliet Burke from Lost is the Ice Queen...too. As well. Or something?

She put her finger in the ice cream bucket? Not very hygienic. Clearly evil.

And the reason she's appearing in OUAT is because NBC finally mercy killed the pile of shit that was Revolution. Srsly that shit managed to run for 2 seasons while more deserving series like FlashForward got cancelled after 1.

Also I'm hoping that since Revolution is thankfully no more, we can now get more Giancarlo Esposito on OUAT.

Soooooooooooo,

I finally watched Frozen last night.

Next stop - catching up on OUaT.

[Lex]

I haven't been keeping up to date with any of my TV shows recently, I'll need to get on that.

 

[Carlie]

X finally man. What did you think?

Lex - You're not missing much.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

X finally man. What did you think?

It was alright, but I don't really get the big "omgwtfbbqsuchbestmuchwowever!!!!11one" thing about the film. Here's my rankings for the 3D Disney films:

• Tangled
• Big Hero Six
• Wreck-It Ralph
• Frozen

Spoiler

A message of self-love brought to you this week by Elsa.

And Rumple being Rumple.

And of course more Marvel comics product placement (and a TRON poster)

 

[Lex]

Wow this thread was hard to find. Putting "Once Upon a Time" in search didn't work XD.

Anyway, just watched the latest episode featuring the Sheriff of Nottingham. Holy FUCK that man is hot. And RIDICULOUSLY tall. Like ridiculous. I'm actually enjoying the second half of this season, but that could be to do with the fact that I watched it all in one go rather than let it go week to week.

 

[Tetsujin]

Ah good, someone's still watching this.

 

[Lex]

Honestly, it's not as terrible as I thought it would be (which isn't much praise), I have enjoyed this second half. I really think it's a show that would benefit from the Netflix treatment of having all the episodes available in one go, I've found that consistently from the very first season. Some shows just don't suit being watched week to week.

 

[Ami]

Spoiler: Just watched the latest episode...

I'm really liking how unstable Emma is. Just when you think things couldn't get interesting, they did. I suspected Lily was Maleficent's daughter as soon as she was mentioned, but was pleasantly surprised when it did come out. I like flashbacks to Emma's childhood, so I enjoyed this episode.

And now with Rumple working with Will to get Belle's heart back, it's hard to tell who's the villain these days. That's why I love this show.

I'm loving Zelena a lot more this time. The bombshell at the end of her being pregnant was very cliche, but so effective because of Regina's face. I want more of evil Regina and it seems like Zelena's doing everything she can to make it happen.

 

[Carlie]

I definitely made the right choice when I stopped watching this show.

 

[Tetsujin]

Spoiler

So how did Robin not notice that his "wife" was wearing that magic pendant all the time considering he stole the darn thing himself in the past?

 

[Lex]

^OUaT logic.

 

[Ami]

^ This.

Spoiler: Latest episode

I really want to know what the author's written. We'll find out next week (two-part finale available on Netflix here this coming Tuesday, hooray!), but I can't help feeling a lot's going to change. Emma surely has to take on Lily's darkness at some point, as it's been teased so much lately. I want more evil!Emma.

 

[Tetsujin]

Spoiler

Looks like your wish has been granted.

Also, the author was recruited in December 1966 because the previous one had just passed away.

Walt Disney died December 15, 1966.

I just had a feeling Emma would have to give herself up for everyone's safety. So glad she did it for Regina because she's suffered far too much. Having one of its protagonists being bad will certainly be a game changer. Can't wait for evil!Emma moments next season.

 

[Ami]

So they're bringing the guy who played Lancelot.

The next season

Spoiler

is going to be bringing Camelot into the show and the gang seeking out Merlin to tame the Evil One.

 

[Super Mario]

Wake me when they bring some superheroes.

 

[Ami]

I don't think it'll happen. It's too fairytale-y to bring any. Still looking forward to the next season, though.

Spoiler

The thought of evil!Emma keeps me going. It's about time she got to unleash some fury.

 

[Lex]

I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like too.

I've got to be honest though. I love Jennifer Morrison in this as much as I loved her in House, which is a lot. But she's not the best actress. When she pretends to cry it's painful to watch, and not because it looks like she's crying XD.

 

[Ami]

Spoiler

I've really felt for her last season, although her sulking seemed to drag on a bit too much for my liking. I think we were teased about Emma going bad with all the stuff she did, especially in the second half of the season, and now that the waters have been tested, it's finally happening in the upcoming season.

Also going to be interested in seeing what Rumpel's like without his darkness. I hope his character is more or less the same, I wouldn't like it if he had a massive change (besides his darkness gone and all that).
