    I would like to add that official press releases from ABC Medianet can still be posted in full. Those are not owned by specific news sites, and are intended to be posted everywhere.

    And ONCE and Buffy are even remotely in the same league and run by the same show creators? Just because Buffy introduced the First in the third season and then brought it back 4 seasons later doesn’t mean ONCE has the same sort of endgame and longevity in mind.

    To be fair, I could see POM’s idea somewhat happening. However, this is more realistically how I could see this playing out. 412 really just gives us a taste of Chernabog, but could return by the end of this Season. A&E tend to think one or two story arcs at a time.

    Agnes Bruckner is 29, so I doubt she’s being cast as a Young Maleficent. There’s not enough of an age difference to be able to pull off that she’s a younger Mal, especially when Kristin still actually looks young. Plus, she’s appearing in 3 episodes. A young Mal seems like something they’d only have for one flashback.

    Day 11- Favourite Villain

    Peter Pan. I really loved watching this twisted little kid, and Robbie Kay did a superb job with the role. What made Pan such a fun adversary is that, unlike most villains on this show, he wasn’t redeemable. He was purely power hungry and selfish. Not even his own son was enough for him, as he traded him away for youth. We clearly saw where Rumple got his talent for manipulation from, too. Like Rumple, Pan played mind games with his enemies.

    Dark creature thingy…despite being from Disney (rather it wasn’t)….YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!

    I imagine that it is Emma’s ultimate nemesis.

    Or maybe it was created as a natural by-product of Emma’s ”creation” or existence, the natural by product of Emma’s magic at the time of her conception or birth. Without dark, there cannot be light, light comes out of the darkness etc. Or perhaps Emma or her magic is the by-product that came from this creature? What I am trying to say is that the two could be two sides of the same coin.

    Well, Emma is a “savior” after all, which is a concept that has ties to Christianity. The opposite of God is Satan, and Chernabog is heavily modeled off of Satan. Deems Taylor has referred to Chernabog as “Satan” during the introduction to the Night on Bald Mountain segment in Fantasia. Walt Disney himself is even on record for referring to Chernabog as “Satan himself.” So Chernabog being the “anti-savior” actually wouldn’t be too far off. It feels weird that I’m actually theorizing about Chernabog seriously being on this show now.

    Regina, who has reclaimed her job as mayor, and Emma (Jennifer Morrison) will inadvertently release a prominent creature from Disney lore. But, unlike the snow beast from Frozen that terrorized Storybrooke last fall, executive producer Adam Horowitz says, “this monster is not just about wanton destruction. It will lead to a startling revelation about Emma — something that’ll be huge news to the audience.”

    *Cough Chernabog cough*

    Day 10- Least Favourite Guest Character (Appeared in 3 episodes or less)

    I am surprised no one said it…

    Bo peep!!!!!!

    Horrible acting, especially the cockney accent. Was the character supposed to be drunk?

    And just the fact they used a nursery rhyme character in FTL.

    Just no.

    ( I don’t like them using Frankenstein, Alice in Wonderland and other stuff that are not fairy tales either, but I really do draw the line at Nursery Rhymes!).

    I actually did mention her in my post above. I agree with Watcher that the idea of Bo Peep as a warlord had potential, but they botched the execution.

    Day 10- Least Favourite Guest Character (Appeared in 3 episodes or less)

    Easy. Medusa, because she was a complete waste of time. 310’s flashback felt like “Oh we’re obligated to give Ginny and Josh a certain number of centrics at a time, so let’s just go with this random story.” 310 could have been all present day Storybrooke instead, so you know they could have actually done more with Ariel, Eric and the Darlings. But yeah, Medusa was just a bland scary monster who had little to no purpose on the show. She wasn’t even played by an actual actress, as she was just a CGI character who hissed. My choice would have otherwise gone to Bo Peep (way too over the top and cheesy), but she at least contributed more than Medusa ever did. I’m actually surprised I’m the first to mention Bo Peep in this category.

    Sounds like an Enchanted Forest version of Mean Girls where they talk about each other behind their backs.

    I was thinking more Legion of Doom:
