@AlfoInnaurato right now… 501-510 is the fall. Then spring start is set to start with 511 (our 100th ep) and got thru 522 uninterrupted

So looks like no breaks during the 2nd half of the Season.

[MatthewPaul]

For the record, in regards to the official episode count, they’re counting 408 as two episodes according to Adam:

@tal111 two episodes

So looks like no breaks during the 2nd half of the Season.

But we’ll have one break in the fall (AMAs)–also I’d lay some money on getting a 2 hour episode somewhere, either 5B finale or the 100th?

Also, I agree with your projected Spring date. That seems about right.

Yep. Already have the AMAs accounted for. Yeah, I agree either the 100th episode or the Season finale will be 2 hours. As for the Spring premiere date, we’ve consistently returned for the Spring the week after the Academy Awards, so that’s how I predicted the date.

If they want to end on Mother’s Day as is tradition, they’re gonna need a 2 hour somewhere.

They would need 2 of those if they wanted the Season premiere to fall on Mother’s Day. So I guess we could be getting 2 hours for both the 100th episode and the finale. Here’s what that would look like:

511 and 512 (100th Episode Special Event) – March 6th
513 – March 13th
514 – March 20th
515 – March 27th
516 – April 3rd
517 – April 10th
518 – April 17th
519 – April 24th
520 – May 1st
521 and 522 – May 10th

We did get a two hour episode twice last Season, so I guess this wouldn’t be too far-fetched.

Well, having the 100th episode be 2 hour kind of missing the point since it’s 100 and 101. Plus if they do something unrelevant to the plot, I wish it weren’t 2 hour.

I’ve seen other shows celebrate a 100th episode with a 2 parter before. South Park did this with its 200th episode, but it was a 2 parter that also included episode 201.

[MatthewPaul]

Just did a little housekeeping here. Adam has since confirmed that we’re getting a 2 hour night on November 15th.

Excited to announce TWO hours of #OnceUponATime on 11/15 from 8/7c to 10/9c! #theseasonjustgotBIGGER!

Also, 510 will NOT be the Winter Finale, as originally stated. The tweets are in spoiler tags, because episode titles are mentioned.

Based on how he said that 5A is 10 weeks/11 hours, it looks like 508 and 509 are airing back to back for the 2 hour special. The 100th episode is now going to be 512, meaning that it looks like they are back to considering Smash the Mirror as one episode.
