WILL there be EASTER EGGS for ONCE UPON A TIME in the future on other shows by H &K…. Easter eggs drive me nuts.
N
.
.[adrotate group="5"]There actually was already.
Last season on ‘Alcatraz’.
They had an eps with apples visible through the eps.
I’m pretty sure it was the same week that OUAT eps ‘An Apple As Red As Blood’ aired.Alcatraz was cancelled, though 🙁
Shame. I like that show.My question…. is there a place that has in depth coverage of Easter eggs with screencaps and stuff that’s up to date? I can’t always find a decent stuff on the forums here or browsing fan pages anybody know any?
I loved Alcatraz too Gypsy. Granted we wouldn’t have gotten Anton without it going away but still 🙁
wizard55 – not that I know of at the moment but I’m sure somebody somewhere must have some.
Nonnie – just ignore them then. They’re supposed to be fun for the fans who like them and others may not even notice them / get the reference. (When it bothered me enough I watched Lost after the season 1 winter finale of OUAT just so I would understand them all and join in on the fun – so glad I did!).
Personally I enjoy them and if anybody wants a fun one from another show: in the first episode I believe of Person of Interest (great show, stars Michael Emerson who was on Lost as “Henry Gale”, eventually Ben Linus and they showed a surveillance monitor that had the Lost numbers as the camera identifier / timestamp which was pretty cool. Most shows that have any of the Lost actors will have some easter eggs. (You may have seen the reaction our poor Belle got just for saying the word “lost” at PaleyFest!).
As for what H&K will do in the future, who knows but they’ll have 2 shows to pull random objects / things from. Wouldn’t be surprised to see MacKutcheon Whiskey again somewhere, or an Apollo Bar. Maybe something Oncey will even make an appearance someday!

Ouatv1 has an easter egg list.
Don’t know how up to date it is, but, check it out anyway.MysteryKat – love Person of interest as well 🙂
And, agree, most ppl, unless they’re LOST fans, won’t even get the LOST easter eggs.
The only reason non LOSTies even know about them are probably because of fan sites and LOSTies post about them…..we just can’t help it, it’s just soooo cool for us LOST fans 🙂I don’t know how many ppl know this, but, if it weren’t for LOST, there probably wouldn’t be any OUAT.
K&H pitched OUAT to ABC 2 years before LOST even aired and ABC turned them down.
Given the fact that K&H were LOST writers and the huge cult following and success of LOST, ABC contacted K&H and reconsidered OUAT.
So, it’s thanks to LOST and it’s fans for making it such a phenomenon, that OUAT exists today 🙂Not to mention the huge influence Stephen King had on LOST and on the creators.
OUAT as well.
The reason Storybrooke is set in Maine is because of Stephen King.
There are tons of SK nods throughout OUAT, also.
The most prominent one being – Jefferson’s house is thee house used in SK’s The Dead Zone.
There are also props from DZ in Jefferson’s house and there are like 8 DZ eps titles that are very closely related to OUAT Eps titles.Gypsy that is proof right there that most don’t notice things if they didn’t know the source material. Stephen King is outside of my normal genre and I never knew about all the SK nods in Once!
The only things outside my frame of reference are things people mention on various podcasts or here in the forums. So cool!
Besides, it’s fun to post…no ONE person is gonna find absolutely every nod to everything: a team of people put it all together and all added their own little ideas of things to allude to I’m sure. It’s our job to help each other out! That’s why I love rewatching this show so much. You always catch something new, even when you already know what to look for!
I also didn’t know that they pitched it 2 years before Lost and were turned down. I did know that they thought of it back then and just thought they were learning under the Lost crew and then pitched it. Wow. What a lesson in persistence! So glad the network changed their minds. Without it we wouldn’t have this wonderful show and community to go along with it!

Exactly, MysteryKat 🙂
Fan sites aren’t just a place to socialize and post theories.
It’s a place full of info!
I appreciate when ppl post about nods/clues that I am not aware of because I may not be ‘into’ a particular thing.I didn’t get the Tron nods or some of the comic book nods that others did.
I got the Star Wars nods, but I’m not as die – hard SW fan, so, I probably won’t get some of them, if they are too obscure.I do get the classic literary nods/clues and the LOST and Stephen King nods/clues because I am an extreme fan when it come to those.
I am also a Dead Head (Grateful Dead fan) and when they revealed Henry’s father’s name as Neal Cassady, I recognized it, simply because of his connection to them.
The Grateful Dead was a huge influence on LOST, too.All this because K&H are LOST writers and Dead Heads and Stephen King fans!
I just happen to be a long time fan of some of the same genre’s they are 🙂
