Fire and ice.
I wish Glinda had stopped time and had a private heart to heart with Regina and Zelena. Switch their hearts, one into the other, then start time again.
When Zelena casts her time warp spell and crushes the heart, it will be her own icy heart that dies. Zelena turns to ashes. And all that remains is Regina’s fiery heart, still beating, ready for a new day, a new love, and a new battle.[adrotate group="5"]Looks like Snow pushes Charming out of the way so she can sacrifice herself into whatever that circle thing is.
And what’s the use of bringing Glinda in if she’s not powerful enough? Grrr!
This Zelena is wicked fun to watch. She’s horrid.I suppose it depends on what type of thinker you are. For example, I take the story as it’s presented, listen to what the characters tell me, and take it literally. So, when they said Henry was adopted by Regina, that was it for me, and I never questioned it further. A more imaginary thinker could spend hours spinning a story around that adoption story. A more suspicious thinker might think, but he said this in episode 1x, and she said that in episode 2x, so I suspect that bla, bla, bla.
Also, how long a story remains untold plays a part in it as well. Had they shown us the adoption in season 1, we may have been happy with the story, (minus the Darling brothers), but waiting so long leaves viewers to imagine their own story.
In addition, what you hope to learn from a story, moving foreword, plays a part also. If you were hoping to solve a mystery, or discover new conspiracies and motivations, then you may have been disappointed by the adoption story. As a literal thinker, one who just listens to character interactions and what they tell me, I was beyond happy with the adoption story. It told me exactly how real Regina’s mothering instincts were. She doubted her instincts, as most mothers do. She doubted herself when Henry stops crying the instant Mary Margaret picked him up. That really happens to real mothers, the question am I good enough. And new mothers of consistently crying infants really do have that fleeting thought in a moment of frustration, really? Are you sure you gave me the right baby? Cuz this isn’t what I signed up for.
But this double edged sword is also why I love these forums. We all come from different places in life and see and imagine the stories differently. I learn from listening to you. I see things differently by listening to you. I step out of my comfortable cozy zone by reading your crack theories. I’m always happy with the way an episode ends, but then I come here, read your criticisms, and am forced to take a step back and reanalyze what I’ve just watched.
Who wrote Henry’s book? Obviously Adam and Eddie did. But that’s just me, being literal and uncreative.
This is a non spoiler podcast, mostly about the Q&A portion of the panel. http://www.onceuponatimepodcast.com
I think this conversation between Regina and Snow was written to address the elephant in the room regarding the seance scenes, the candle.
If Snow wasnt participating in this Candle of Death seance there would be no reason to write in her apology in this episode. But she is, and if they didn’t address Snow’s history with that candle it would have been a gaping hole in the story. Snow has more history with that candle than Regina does. The candle represents more than just Cora’s death.
If Regina had responded to Snow for her own wrongdoings it would have taken away the focus and theme of the seance scenes. The focus is Cora, Zelena, with secondary focus being Snow’s history with that candle as it pertains to Cora being the dead spirit they are summoning.
And high five to the writers for using that particular candle to summon Cora to the seance. Had she not given that candle to Snow in the first place, Cora might be alive today.I think Cora did abandon Zelena. But I think Sunday will introduce us to a younger, more innocent version to Cora. I think she will believe in love, get bitterly hurt, and we will learn how she became so jaded and began to believe that love is weakness.
I think Cora will feel that she is unable to provide for her baby, and someone will offer her a magical portal which could send her baby to a magical land, and give Cora a second chance to pursue her quest for royalty.I just wish wish wish the questions wouldn’t be the same unoriginal recycled questions about Hook and Emma, but they will be. With the same old recycled answers. And please don’t take that as me being a Hook hater, because I’m not. I just dislike the same question in EVERY Q&A.
Calling all Once Upon a Time fans! Co-creators and executive producers Edward Kitsis (Lost) and Adam Horowitz (Lost) invite you to an exclusive screening of an upcoming all-new episode of Once Upon a Time. Following the exclusive sneak peek, the executive producers will be joined by Josh Dallas (Thor) an Rebecca Mader (Lost) as well as other surprise guests for a must-see panel where secrets will be revealed.
I wonder who the surprise guests will be.
Here’s what I find odd about Zelenas plan to travel back in time to change the past. Belle finds a book, probably in Gold’s shop, which hints that this is Zelenas plan. When Zelena tells Rumple that she has the heart, courage, and soon, the brains, he says “you don’t have everything”, meaning the baby.
So, assuming Rumple had that book, and knew the ingredients, and the curse, did he ever use those things himself to try to change his own past? And if not, why?
