Once Upon A Time

[Derwin0]

Okay, so the second half of the season will have the trio of Ursula, Maleficent, and Cruella.

Wasn't Maleficent killed off by Emma in the season 1 finale when she was a dragon?
And Cruella? Seriously? How does she fit in with the fairy tale motief?

 

[teachsac]

That was an extremely disappointing end to the storyline.

I kind of felt that way about this whole season. It didn't hold my attention like the wicked witch one did.

 

[teachsac]

The OZ plotline was really good. I didn't mind the Frozen storyline so much until that storyline ending. We'll see how the evil ones do in the next storyline.

"Heroes and Villains": The heroes pick up the pieces in the wake of the Snow Queen's spell; Regina must make a difficult choice; Gold's quest for power threatens everything he cares about.

Same here. I wish they mixed in other plotlines and focused on other characters, as they seemed to do more in the earlier seasons. Regina and Robin Hood are the only side story ATM, but that's tied to the frozen curse on Marian. I thought there would be more going on with Will Scarlet by now. Well, at least we aren't stuck with the same 8 characters on a small island for an entire half season.

That was only a 1/2 a season ?
That went on forever ...

Yeah ,I never thought I would grow to HATE Peter Pan so much ,but I sure did by the end of that nightmare of a season.

 

[Jimbo]

They better keep Gold in the story line ... (I think they will) ...

Kinda sounded like he was gonna join up with the 3 new ones .... and somehow get back to SB.

 

[Ramy]

How did Belle get the real dagger?

 

[teachsac]

The glove lead her to Gold's weakness. Now we have to wait until March. Will Rumple never learn.

I thought that, but didn't he keep the dagger with him at all times now?

 

[teachsac]

He did have the dagger with him, so he could cast his spell and release himself from the dagger. He set it down, and Belle grabbed it when she came up the clock tower. My guess is the glove led her to the tower.

S~

 

[Ramy]

Wow, somehow I missed that part where he put it down.

 

[teachsac]

Hook was eyeing it when he set it down.

I don't get the Cruella thing either. How is she a queen of darkness? What is she the queen of? Dog catching? Her storyline isn't even part of a fantasy enchanted forest setting. Did Disney finally run out of female fairy tale villains to use in this show?

Also what was the curse to keep anyone from entering Storybrook? When did that happen? I thought the Snow Queen's curse was to keep everyone in, not out. I remember at one point they wanted to keep outsiders out because of the possibility of unwanted media attention. If that's the curse that's still in play, wouldn't Regina have been the one to set it, and certainly the one to disable it so she could see RH again?

 

[Ramy]

How are we getting Maleficent again? Wasn't she the dragon in season 1?

 

[teachsac]

It's back tonight. A 1 hour review also airs beforehand.

Season 4, Episode 13: "Darkness on the Edge of Town"

"Following Gold's banishment, Storybrooke residents try to resume their normal lives."

[Zookster]

I was intending on giving up on this after the mid-season break, unless someone can talk me out of it. I haven't deleted the timer or recordings. Is Cruella as a Storybrook villain actually making any sense yet?

 

[MikeD-C05]

Not really. All I know is that they are lumping all 3 female villains together and calling them "witches" in the promos for the shows.
