    I read that the Frozen arc is going to be 12 episodes, rather than 11. (Can’t remember where I read that, but I did somewhere). So maybe this episode is the mid-season finale when all the big dark secrets that people have been keeping from one another come out in the open. A

    No, it’s 12 hours due to 408 being 2 hours long, and TVLine already confirmed Dec 15th as the mid-Season finale.

    While this could be just a general “we’ll get on it eventually” answer, perhaps this also could be a hint of ongoing plans to bring Jafar to the parent show at some point:

    The idea of Emma having trouble controlling her magic isn’t a sudden character arc just for Frozen. It was brought up in 3B, where Emma outright says she’s had trouble trying to control it. While yes we’re only now seeing a situation where Emma’s magic has become harmful, the idea of Emma struggling with magic isn’t new. As PoM mentioned, “magic is emotion.” As for why Emma’s having these insecurities get to her now, it’s because Ingrid kept egging her on about them to the point where it overwhelmed her. It’s like Belle with the mirror from last week’s episode. Ingrid is using their insecurities to get the best of them. Chances are Emma has had some of these insecurities for some time, but she kept brushing them aside for sanity’s sake. This is a situation where those insecurities were forced upon her in full blast.

    The ratings for this Sunday’s two hour long episode will be interesting, as the 2nd half of the episode will be up against ratings juggernaut The Walking Dead. Like the Season 3 finale, I expect we will be getting an average rating that accounts for both parts together, rather than having a separate rating for each half. Still, it will be interesting to see how The Walking Dead effects things, especially when half hour ratings do still get reported in certain places. On the other hand, the fact that it’s a special two hour long episode might still see a bit of a ratings boost regardless.

    That don’t have to wear pink of course, but that baby looked more like a boy. So either we’ve got a gender confusion or we’ve got an age confusion OR we’ve got a new baby altogether that just happens to have the male version of their previous child’s name.

    Key word “looked.” If they did actually use a male baby, I’m chalking this up as a casting screw-up, not a writing screw-up. Nothing about the actual script hinted at the baby being a boy. Maybe the casting department saw the name “Alex” in the script, and assumed it was short for “Alexander” instead of Alexandra, despite the baby appearing on the show before.

    I do believe you are mistaken. Robin was not with (romantically) Marian when we met him OUATinWL, hence Robin’s distrust of magic “for a woman” (say the man who later stole a wand for Marian). Adam tweeted as much back during WL. And Will was with Robin, at most for a few days. That was what WL established, perhaps with more leeway than I’m giving the show, but not enough to hear this story “three dozen times” (even accounting for exaggeration)

    Adam only confirmed that the flashback was before “Lacey”, not before he and Marian even met. Big difference. “Lacey” took place when the two were already married and Marian was in labor with Roland. So yes, Marian and Robin were likely already seeing each other, and just because Marian wasn’t at the camp with them or helping them with their missions during that episode doesn’t automatically mean otherwise. Marian could have still been living at her home during that point in time. I mean Will didn’t have to sleep at the Merry Men’s camp each night, as we saw him returning home to Anastasia that first night. And actually, Robin’s story about how he and Marian met also leans towards them already being together before he met Will. In the flashback, Robin clearly had his “steal from the rich, to give to the poor” mantra at that point in time, while he stated he stole for himself back before he met Marian. And having actually re-watched some of those flashbacks just the other day, Will mentions sticking around “for a few days” before raiding Maleficent’s fortress, so more stuff could have happened between Will’s induction into the Merry Men and the raid. We watch these flashbacks assuming how much time has passed between scenes, when really it’s pretty ambiguous and there’s room for leeway.

    Looking back at the baby scene, they didn’t say if Alex was a boy or girl. Alex being short for Alexandra, not Alexander. Girl babies also don’t necessarily have to wear pink, which could have been something regarding the costuming/casting department if they accidentally thought Alex was a boy. As far as I can tell from the actual scripting, they didn’t change the baby’s gender. It’s the age thing that might be a continuity goof, if it even is.
