    But when a terrifying darkness descends on the town, Emma and Regina are forced to confront the true nature of evil.

    Maybe I’m sounding like DO, but….could this actually be Chernabog? He is what I think of when I think of an entity of darkness. I guess if our Season 4A opener started out with Marshmallow (Snow Monster) on the loose, it’s not that far-fetched that the Season 4B opener would open up with Chernabog wreaking havoc. Though if it was him, then Chernabog would just be a Monster of the Week rather than a serious Big Bad.

    From ABC’s Tumblr:

    I noticed “Evil Approaches” in the url title. Wonder if that’s the tagline for Season 4B and possibly the next recap special?

    I don’t want Cruella to be a werewolf because we already have a werewolf on the show and it wouldn’t make sense to have another werewolf on the show and not have some form of interaction between the two. Basically, the writers have dropped Red for whatever reason so they shouldn’t introduce someone who is basically an evil replacement Red.

    Agreed, already been done. Plus, werewolves appear to strictly transform between humans and wolves. While with Cruella, we think she may be able to shapeshift into a dog. Vampires can actually shapeshift into multiple things in fiction, not just bats.

    http://dracula.cc/vampires/

    Shape-shifting – vampires have the ability to control several animals such as the wolf, the rat, the fox, the owl, the bat and the moth and they are also capable taking the form of a wolf or a bat and possibly any of the other animals subject to his command. Vampires can also transform themselves into a mist or dust cloud drifting in the air, they can modify their sizes in certain limits, becoming either larger or smaller, and they can climb walls (normally, like a large insect with his head toward the ground much like a spider).

    And yeah, the whole death by sunlight thing isn’t something that all vampire lore sticks to, nor was it even around until the film Nosferatu used it. In fact, there are a bunch of ways of killing a vampire that aren’t always used.

    Figured I’d finally start giving my own take on this:

    Day 1- Favourite Female Regular Character (Past or Present)
    Regina. I feel there are two main reasons so many fans love her: 1) She’s such a complex character and 2) Lana Parrilla does a phenomenal job with her performance.

    Day 2- Least Favourite Female Regular Character (Past or Present)
    This is a hard one, as I don’t flat out dislike any of them. I’m going to have to say Ruby, only because she’s been so wasted as a character. Don’t get me wrong she can be awesome, but she didn’t do much when she was a regular in Season 2, and actually did more back when she was only recurring in Season 1. Plus, her Season 2 centric was weak. I actually love the character, but compared to the other female regulars, I had to choose her.

    Day 3- Favourite Male Regular Character (Past or Present)
    Rumple. While I may not be too big a fan of Season 4 Rumple, overall he’s still the male regular I enjoy watching the most. I love Rumple when he’s crazy, when he’s manipulative, and even when he’s tortured. Like Lana, Robert Carlyle does such a great job with his performance.

    Day 4- Least Favourite Male Regular Character (Past or Present)
    Sorry, but it has to be Neal Cassidy. Just being completely honest here. That might sound weird when his father happens to be my favorite male regular, but of course each character has to be able to stand on their own. I’m in the camp who was fascinated with Young Baelfire, but felt things went flat when it came to the character as a grown up. There’s always been that jarring disconnect between the two versions. Plus, not to get into the specifics, but I wasn’t a fan of a lot of the decisions he made as an adult. I agree with Baelfire/Neal fans that the character had a lot of potential, but unfortunately the writers squandered that. We may disagree how they did so, but the character was definitely botched one way or another, and I at least respect those who saw more in him than I honestly ever could.

    Day 5- Favourite Female Recurring Character (Past or Present)
    Elsa, mainly because it was nice for Emma to finally have a BFF. Plus, the character was fun to have around.

    Day 6- Least Favourite Female Recurring Character (Past or Present)
    Tamara. Do I even have to explain why I dislike her? Enough people have already covered it.

    Day 7- Favourite Male Recurring Character (Past or Present)
    Jefferson. I just really enjoyed his character, and wish they could have done more with him. But alas, Sebastian Stan is heavily in demand and busy.

    Day 8- Least Favourite Male Recurring Character (Past or Present)
    Greg Mendell. Like Tamara, he was really just a plot device. Ethan Embry, Greg’s actor, is on record for saying that his role on the show was altered from when he originally signed on. He was only set to appear in a few episodes, but his role was expanded upon for the rest of Season 2. I think Greg really was supposed to be just a stranger who visited town, and not affiliated with the Home Office. But of course once they got the ok to do Peter Pan and go to Neverland, everything changed. That’s probably another reason Tamara’s character suffered, too. Maybe she really was originally going to be just Neal’s fiancee or be the alter ego of a fairy tale character. So both characters were turned into plot devices to get the cast to Neverland at the last minute.

    This sounds amazingly plausible. But A&E said she was from the EF :/ I like the idea of her being from Land Without Color a lot better though

    And what else are black and white? Dalmatians!

    Not surprised if this is true, considering that tweet Victoria posted recently.
