512: Promos

What’s the odds that the returning villains/characters are only going to be those that were killed by the “heroes”. So you’ll have Cora (Snow), Milah (Rumple), Pan (Rumple), Blind witch (Regina), Hook (Emma). You won’t get any other dead characters because the “heroes” didn’t kill them.

Gretel killed the blind witch.

Gretel put her in the oven, but we saw Regina finish her off by shooting a fireball into it.

I have so much to wonder about.
It seems Cora is the mayor of Underworld SB. And judging from the location and style of dress, it looks like Peter Pan is the pawn-guy of Underworld SB. So all the villains have assumed the role of their kids? What does that mean for Cruella? And the Blind Witch who, if I am not mistaken, seems to be in Grannies? I guess that’s appropriate. Perhaps she bakes kids into lasagna or something. And I am still confused as to why the underworld looks like SB.
OR…. Is it that SB looks like the underworld. Considering the curse that created SB was the darkest of all curses maybe it replicated the underworld in our land. Hmmmmm.

That’s not an official promo. Its very obviously fan made. You can tell because the voice over is spliced together from previous promos, its all recycled footage, and there’s a noticeable disconnect when it transitions to the logo at the end. Either Once Upon a Fan made this promo, or they found this fan made promo assuming it was legit. That’s why SpoilerTV didn’t report on it, nor did it get posted on the tvpromosdb Youtube channel.

I figured it would be a fun idea to try guessing when the next promo or two airs, and how the rest of 5B’s pre-premiere promotion will go down. I’ll give it a try, while reviewing how it went down for 3B and 4B for comparison:

Season 3B
– First promo following the 3A winter finale (December 15th)
– Second shorter promo of Wicked Witch walking over Storybrooke town line (December 29th. Unusually quick compared to 4B and 5B, but it was just a teaser)
– Third promo 3 weeks before premiere (February 16th)
– Press Screening of the premiere 2 and a half weeks before premiere and Q&A session with Adam and Eddy (February 18th)

Season 4B
– First promo following the 4A winter finale (December 14th)
– New promo 3 weeks before (February 8th)
– New promo during the Oscars the week before, featuring footage just for this promo. Teased dark Emma. (February 22nd)
– Press Screening of the premiere 5 days before premiere and Q&A session with Adam and Eddy (February 24th)

Season 5B
– First promo following the 5A winter finale (December 6th)
– Possible promo during Galavant’s finale? (January 31st. Unlikely, but you never know)
– Possible promo 3 weeks before premiere? (February 14th. Would fall in line with 3B and 4B, though 3B’s promo at the time had a lot more new footage.)
– Possible Press Screening of the premiere and Q&A session with Adam and Eddy? (February 16th or 23rd or 26th or even March 2nd? 3B and 4B’s press screenings were both on Tuesday, though 3B’s was unusually early. I put in the Friday before as a guess too, in the event that they decide to follow the pattern of 5A’s press screening date instead)
– Possible promo during the Oscars the week before? (February 28th. Would fall in line with what we got for 4B. They may film something unique for the promo like they did with 4B, especially since this is the 100th episode)
