Yeah there’s no way this show will get an increase with this reboot. In fact I expect a drop from the premiere onwards especially if we’re losing a lot of characters.
I think next season is gonna be a short season then Idol will take it’s slot in March.
[adrotate group="5"]As much as I enjoyed the music, the episode felt really rushed, disjointed and out-of-place. And with all the added publicity, and rumours of cancellation, this episode really just made the show look pathetically desperate in it’s attempts to get people to tune in. I honestly think a full episode surrounding the wedding and intimate character moments would have held more viewers. Instead we got CGI-fest. It is particularly bad when you have a character like the Black Fairy who is supposed to be the originator of evil, who stands awkwardly not knowing where to look when Emma is singing, rather than just releasing the black fairy dust to shut her up.
I just wish we could go back to a time where plot wasn’t everything. They seed in these really great character moments in some of these episodes and I crave for more of that. Scenes like Regina talking to Emma in New York about her struggle with the darkness inside of her. That is one of my favourite scenes. If they didn’t feel the need to throw in gimmicks, macguffins etc all the time, I think some of us might just enjoy these characters trying to live a normal life without the threat of a curse every five minutes.
I think another problem is that a musical episode came way too late in the show’s run. Had it happened when the show was still considered pretty successful, perhaps it would have fared better. But let’s face it, a significant chunk of the general public has clearly moved on from this show, and they weren’t going to be swayed back that easily.

We could potentially hear more about OUAT’s current fate.

Agreed. They probably could have got away with it in season one, but it just feels too much like a ratings stunt now. And with several other shows having musical episodes recently it also doesn’t feel that fresh.
Quantico back down to a 0.5 this week. Whatever money it’s making internationally really REALLY has to be worth it, if they’re seriously considering renewing it. I still say it gets cancelled.
I think if it’s between OUAT and AOS they’ll keep AOS. Especially cause OUAT is losing so many people and not even thier big promoted musical episode was a success.

I agree. I think that tonight’s AOS ratings are going to be very important. Especially if they turn out to be higher than OUAT’s musical ep, I don’t see how they would renew OUAT over AOS.
I’m all for them keeping AoS over OuaT. AoS somehow manages to get better and better as it goes on whereas OuaT manages to get worse. I don’t see that changing without Jennifer next season. AoS is probably the best and most underrated show on Network Television right now.
