Yes, it’s true. The floof is dead.
[adrotate group="5"]Maybe it will be a Hot Topic-exclusive variant.
Kind of disappointed there’s still no Neal.
Also no Henry or Robin.
I also want Ingrid and the QoD (with Mal in her S1 outfit), but I digress. And a nicer-looking Rumpel. And Pan.
Kinda weird that they chose to go for the non-green Zelena. Maybe they’ll release a green version down the line, too.

Slurpeez, I actually noticed something interesting in “Nimue:”
This was when Arthur was making his acid to use against the heroes. It got me wondering if the Sands could be wearing off. I ended up writing it into my own alternate ending to 5A. I also made the Siren from Lake Nostos the LotL.
Speaking of deleted scenes being non-canon:
I was looking into what number episode “Manhattan” was to see how long Neal was really on the show in the present day. It was 214, meaning he was pretty much only there for a year from “Manhattan” through “Quiet Minds” (315).
Anyway, I found out that there was a scene (apparently filmed) involving (an unnamed) Malcolm abandoning Rumpel then being killed by two guys, who decide to take the latter to the spinsters.
I guess A/E said they deleted it, because it didn’t fit the episode, but I’m wondering if it was deleted because of the Neverland arc. Wasn’t this also the same episode that first suggested Bae was in Neverland? This might suggest that he was INDEED originally meant to be Peter Pan…
Archie’s gonna make more than just a single token appearance in a single scene in a single episode?! What is this madness?!
Watch him make two.
Mmkay. I need to have a bit of a rant.
So I spent most of today going through the S5 DVD for the podcast review and there’s one really great deleted scene between Regina and Emma. In it, Emma and Regina are talking about Daniel and Regina insists she’s moved on (with Robin) and Emma gives the really telltale line, “moving on and getting over someone aren’t the same things” which is more of less what a lot of people here have been saying for a really long time. It was a great moment that emphasized how much Emma loved Neal (she then told Regina about her Neal-vision in the 100th) and it was actually a pretty moving scene.
Now, for the ranty bit. I know some will disagree with me about what is canon exactly but logistically, Adam has said for years (and even said yesterday—yes, YESTERDAY) that scenes included on the DVD are canon. That’s been the policy for awhile now. If it’s on the DVD, they consider it canon and they try to only include scenes on the DVD that they want considered canon.
So tonight, imagine my shock and surprise when Adam tweets out that none of the scenes on the DVDs–not just S5 but ALL of them–are not canon because they’ve “reclassified” and decided this is what is best.
So. The aforementioned scene? Not canon. That scene of Emma giving Henry the necklace? Not canon. That scene of Neal telling Henry about Neverland? Not canon. That scene of Neal teaching Henry to steer the ship? Not canon. Even their beloved Hook and Jello scene? Not canon. Even those little scenes that help explain the timeline and magical issues….? Not canon.
It angers me not only as a ride-or-die Neal fan and Swanfire shipper but also as someone who loves TV/narrative. Like, how on god’s green earth am I supposed to trust ANYTHING these guys write or say when they change their mind at the drop of a hat, whatever the reason? How do they expect us to have a dialogue (and all media is a dialogue) if they don’t stick to certain statements, rules and are constantly backtracking for reasons that we aren’t privy whenever it’s convenient for them!
Yeah, a lot of deleted scenes are cut because of time but a lot of them are also really endearing and sweet and are the much missed character moments! And even if they weren’t, can we pick a policy and STICK to it, please and thank you!?
Ugh. That is all.
You know what? Why don’t we just decide for ourselves which deleted scenes are canon? You know, personal canon. Screw what Adam and Eddy say (which technically violates the definition of canon, but whatever).
Also, here’s the one tiny problem with Slurpeez’ analysis:
Slurpeez:
Us (the only people actually reading it):
Still no sign of Emma Rigby, though, which makes me wonder if Anastasia gets a reference/exposition explanation or not….
Not gonna lie, with no word on Emma Rigby filming for 603 and the fact that Cinderella’s step-mother is played by a different actress than Anastasia’s mother, I’m getting worried that they’re going to completely ignore the hints from Wonderland that Anastasia is one of Cinderella’s step-sisters, or claim that was never the plan all along. It could come down to Emma Rigby’s availability, and/or Adam and Eddy going “the fans already figured out what we were setting up, so we must change it!” I’m hoping that’s not the case, of course. Still, Jonny Coyne returning as Dr. Lydgate could be a sign that they will further connect Wonderland to the parent show this season.
You mean like Will in S4?
Oh boy, the fandom is going crazy with the latest spoilers, that once again they are replacing Neal with Hook and now they are giving Neal and Henry scenes and repeating them with Henry and Hook, in this case the sword fighting scene, just like the sailing
What.
Anyway, how did we miss this one? A cover of “Only You” by Kylie Minogue (the other Evil Queen) and James Corden (the Baker in Into the Woods):
