Ok…..I think that the title has something to do with DARTS. Cricket is a Dart game and a simplified version of Cricket is called Mickey Mouse. Considering there is a dart board in the Sheriff’s office, Graham played darts ANDthere is a huge dart board in the main promo picture for Season 2…I’m guessing it has something to do with this. Is it possible Graham will return?????
You always find the coolest information, fairy dust.
I agree with medchen, this does seem to make more sense because of the Mickey Mouse connection, and most Americans would be familiar with darts than they would cricket since most follow baseball instead. Plus, I think a darts game as metaphor for something going on during the episode would not only be easier for Americans to get, but might make more sense because there’s a target, and there are two players, or perhaps in this case two teams (good vs. evil) that are aiming for that target.
If that’s true that seriously diminishes their options on what to do with their characters. I’m not saying its not true, but how rude and unfair it is if the death of iconic villains of Disney is acceptable but not the death of iconic heroes… Ones again I’m on the bad guys side.
Well perhaps they will let an iconic hero or heroes die, but it just seems unlikely to me right now because outside of the show, those characters, especially the Disney princess line, make a lot of money for Disney, so they might not want to risk killing them off on the show for fear of hurting their bottom line. I don’t think that it would, but there’s a lot of money to be made from those characters outside of the show, so I can understand Disney being concerned about things like that.
Just imagine the headlines that the media would come up with if the OUaT killed off Snow White, like “Disney kills Snow White”, and then kids seeing Snow die on the show. There would not only be a backlash from lifelong loyal Disney patrons who Disney feels might decide to turn their backs on the company for letting them kill off an iconic, beloved character, but they would also have to think about the kids who would see the headlines and see Snow White dying on the show. They might not have bought Snow White merchandise before that event, but then again, maybe, Disney thinks, they would have had their favorite Disney princess not been killed off.
It might also have the adverse effect of them not getting lured in on being a lifelong loyal Disney patron because they try to get the kids, especially the girls, in believing the fairy tale can come true for everyone. However, if one of the Disney princesses like Snow dies, then maybe that means happy endings don’t really happen which means that those kids don’t get reeled in and they spend their money on other brands not only as kids but later on as adults. So that kid grows up to be an adult with a family, but a family vacation to a Disney resort might not be something that person can’t resist, so he/she chooses to take their family and their money elsewhere. Of course, if that person had chosen Disney, then the whole cycle is just waiting to start again so that Disney can reel that person’s kids in. (For the record, Disney definitely got me at an early age, and I still love them.)
