    Okay, we already knew about the second half but I don’t like this “we may…” business. It screams that the writers don’t actually have a plan or an idea. Don’t create a mystery if you aren’t 99.9% sure that you’re going to resolve it.

    Will Scarlet and Anastasia say hi, too! It’s especially worse for them, cause they went through the trouble of making Will a regular last Season only to barely use him at all.

    Wait, Merlin appears this episode?

    Not confirmed. Many of us assumed so, because the title “Siege Perilous” refers to the seat at the round table that Merlin reserved for whoever retrieved the holy grail in Arthurian legend.

    Yes, but is the decade or so even true? Because when did Arthur and Lancelot pull that sword from the stone? Because they mentioned the prophecy then too but that has to be before the Dark Curse #1, right? Unless there are multiple prophecies.

    Also, the “decade” might not be referring to the 28 years of the curse. So the decade really might date back to 8 or 9 years before the curse plus the additional year or two since the curse broke.

    Yes but you know what really bothered me? “Lady Mary Margaret” Okay, 1) she’s Snow White and 2) She’s a Queen in the Enchanted Forest. GAAAAAAAH

    That bothered me so much. I mean, yes they’re in Camelot, but aren’t they also technically in Fairy Tale Land? It’s all the same realm. She should be going by her actual name.

    I am putting in another vote for an Underworld rescue for 5B with Hades at the villain helm. with regards to cast could they just get James Woods for Hades in Once, I can’t see anyone else pulling him off properly. As for Dr Facilier being on board I love the idea but am struggling on how Princess and the Frog that was set in New Orleans can be moved to the Enchanted Forrest.

    When we got Cruella De Vil and a “Fictional 1920’s London” realm (the 2nd Fictional version of London, at that), I don’t think we can really rule Princess and the Frog out now. They’ll just set it in a Fictional 1920’s New Orleans. Not to mention, Tiana is one of the last Disney Princesses that Once has not done yet.

    Live Ratings are in for episode 502 “The Price”

    Overall Viewers: 5.33 million

    Demo: 1.8

    We held stead in the demo but did drop in overall eyeballs from last week (last week = 5.88 million). However, holding steady was mostly expected.

    Should also note that Quantico is still a 1.9, despite lead-in Blood and Oil dropping to a 1.2. Should be interesting to see if Quantico remains higher than OUAT for the next few weeks.

    Depends on how well Hades is adapted. He has the most hilarious personality. For Facilier, I just hope they get the guy who played Papa Legba in American Horror Story: Coven. He was funny and scary, I think he would be perfect for the role and A&E have worked with him before, I believe.

    The actor you’re referring to is Lance Reddick, and it so happens that he’s a LOST alumn. Adam and Eddy love bringing in former actors from LOST, so he would be a very likely choice for Facilier.

    In all seriousness, Hades teaming up with Facilier would make somewhat sense. At the end of “The Princess and the Frog”, Facilier is literally dragged into the “Underworld” by spirits.

    I was also thinking, perhaps the “other realm” that the Wraith took Phillip’s soul to back in Season 2 is the Underworld? With Mulan set to return, they could finally show how they recovered his soul, depending on whether Sarah Bolger and Julian Morris are available.

    My god that’s a lot of plot.

    But yeah, that sounds right.

    And we already have Ruby, Mulan and Whale returning on top of that.

    If my theory is correct, I call Facilier being the surprise villain everybody loves, just like Cruella was last Season!

    If we really do get Hades for 5B, I predict he won’t be the sole villain. We may be getting a male equivalent to last Seasons’s Queens of Darkness, which I guess I could call the Kings of Darkness. This would include Hades, Jafar (finally appearing on the parent show), and perhaps Dr. Facilier. Those three villains could also mean Hercules, Megara, Aladdin, Jasmine, Tiana, and Naveen appearing as well. If Season 5 turns out to be the final Season like many here have predicted, my Kings of Darkness theory would make sense. They’d want to squeeze in as much as they haven’t done as possible before ending the show. Not to mention, so far this Season is chalkful of recycled plots.
