    yeah, in hindsight it was always obvious Cora was always intended to be the queen of hearts. Her name literally means heart, she had hearts on her cloak, and her spellbook had a heart on it. Regina having been named Mills is also an indication teh writers must have been thinking ahead. I dont think she counts at all.

    Barbara Hershey’s voice can also be heard in “Hat Trick”, during the scene with Jefferson and the Queen of Hearts. So that was an instance where they planned it all along.

    This is going around. It’s fueling speculation that the show is getting renewed, because it begs the question why Lana would be dressed as the Evil Queen with Scandal’s Kerry Washington? They could be filming the sketch for this year’s Upfronts presentation like they have done the past few years.

    Did Tiger Lily and Hook have a romantic past relationship?
    HOROWITZ: No.

    RIP the new girl is their daughter theory I guess, which I personally never bought.

    Will there be a new family member added to the family tree?
    KITSIS: No.

    Good.

    Will we get an explanation of how Neverland still exists if the magic that created it was dying?
    KITSIS: I would say that the magic that created it was dying, which only affected Peter Pan, who wanted to live forever. It is now a refuge for lost people to come and have bonfires and their own Coachella-like parties.
    HOROWITZ: They’re not being sustained by magic or given immortality anymore. It’s now a feral, scary island.
    KITSIS: It’s an open place real estate opportunity. A lot of people call it Enchanted Forest adjacent. Instead of Neverland, it’s now Enchanted Forest adjacent.
    HOROWITZ: It’s an up-and-coming neighborhood. But the schools aren’t great yet.
    KITSIS: Because they don’t really have any.

    Wait, so Neverland doesn’t allow people to not age anymore? Guess that sorta makes sense, since Pan was draining the magic from the island giving him his youth.

    Will the Dragon’s daughter’s identity be revealed someday?
    KITSIS: Can’t say. Someday.
    HOROWITZ: But that is a great question.
    KITSIS: That is somebody who pays attention so closely to the show they deserve —
    HOROWITZ: — an answer.
    KITSIS: But a T-shirt seems more likely.
    HOROWITZ: The answer won’t be on the T-shirt they get, but maybe the answer will be somewhere else.

    Not sure what to make of this…

    Is season 6 going to end the way you originally planned to end the series?
    KITSIS: Yes.
    HOROWITZ: Well, sort of.
    KITSIS: Season 6 is ending the way that we always planned for it to end.

    I suspected this was the case. So the Season is ending the way the show was originally meant to end, but Adam and Eddy want to try expanding past that now.

    Will Once Upon a Time be renewed for season 7?
    KITSIS: Can’t say.

    Translation: Even they probably don’t know as of yet.

    Our series low will be whatever the number is for this Sunday. Which has barely been promoted by ABC. So score on them for that.

    They don’t air OUAT promos on Monday-Wednesday, at least not in a while. Typically it gets promoted during Grey’s, the Friday shows, and AFV. But it’s more promotion than Quantico and Agents of SHIELD currently get. However, if there’s no OUAT promo during TGIT tonight like there has been regularly, that could be a sign of ABC losing faith. In related news, they’ve been promoting the heck out of Match Game, clearly hoping it can continue to boost.

    The dumpster fire that is ABC continues to get worse, as Designated Survivor went fractional for the first time ever with a 0.9. Granted, the Chicago market was preempted for baseball, which inflated DS to a 1.1 in fast results. It’ll be interesting to see if this was a fluke, or if DS will continue to be fractional.

    I swear to God that if Hook already knows Tiger Lily, she’s good and she’s able to help, I’ll end up flipping so many tables over him not going to her back during Season 3.

    Quote

    Takes me back to the Season 2 days, when several people theorized if Tamara was Tiger Lily. Who’d have thought we’d be finally getting Tiger Lily 4 Seasons after that.

    Agents of SHIELD remained steady at a 0.7 and even increased to 2.34 total viewers in the preliminaries. However, both NCIS: New Orleans and Chicago Fire were repeats, so that could have helped in SHIELD’s favor.

    Yup. @matthewpaul has an interesting theory though that ABC has decided to hold off on showing 617 until after Easter in order to avoid another demo drop.

    Turns out they were simply just late releasing it. Just posted the press release, and we still air this Sunday.

    As Rumple said, “the future is a puzzle with many pieces to be solved”.

    Could it be that it wasn’t the blue fairy then that gave Bae the magic bean? Or what if the seer that told Rumple about the prophecy was the black fairy too?

    If the black fairy was able to plan so far ahead she must have known that Rumple would let Bae fall through the portal and would lead to him casting the curse years later to find him.

    If we bring Pan into the story, maybe that is why he took Bae to Neverland. Maybe he tried to sabotage the black fairy’s plan, which could explain why he knew about Henry?

    Just a few thoughts…..

    Either way, it comes across as the writers taking every Sneaky Blue Fairy theory ever suggested by the fans, while incorporating it into a separate fairy character.
