620 (Musical Episode) – Poster

Do you guys think the circumstances for the singing will come about in the episode coming up or do you think it will be something that will be established at the start of that episode. Since we know the next episode is Zelena/Oz centric I think it may be possible we will see a hint at what’s going to make everyone sing.

I so badly want something established before the actual episode.  But I mean, come on, when do we ever get that?

I say all this as I post in the Emma/Neal thread which at this point should be just titled the anti CS/OUAT thread. I’m sure if this was Emma/Neal “oh the story that was intended” cause that doesn’t reek of bitterness, you would be as “critique” as you are cause the story is CS.

I’m afraid I am having trouble parsing the grammar of your sentence, such as it is. Do you mean that I wouldn’t be as critical if the story were still about Neal/Emma? Or that I would be? If it ended up being equally badly written and peddling equally retrograde cultural representations, I assure you I would. See, I’m an equal opportunity hater that way. ?

but yeah I’m HOPING we get some little tiny hint at what’s to come at the end of the next episode that explains the musical for the one after that. But I am Moreno than positive it will be some random new magic mcguffin or curse that we have never heard of that does the damage

Unfortunately, yeah, I suspect you’re right — likely caused by more magical flora. Are the sirens the only part of OUAT mythology that have anything remotely to do with voice? I can’t think of anything they’ve had on the show that’s about sound/music/voice or anything like it that they could bring back, so I’m guessing it’ll be something out of left field.

Perhaps OUAT will copy Buffy and have the characters forced to sing their true feelings. Song titles for each character could include:

Henry- My mother left me for a pirate and forgot I exist.

Belle- Why don’t I get any screen time?

Hook- I’m engaged to a control freak, what have I done?

Zelena- Why am I here again?

Snowing- Thank god for Regina because our daughter doesn’t care!

Regina- Why aren’t I the saviour when I do all the saving?

Rumple- I’m treated as the bad guy for trying to help my son escape the clutches of his psychotic grandmother.

Emma- I don’t give a damn about anyone except my pirate.

Nevermind saw the warning.
