ModeratorI saw it. Overall, I really enjoyed it, but I would be lying if I didn’t have some issues with it. Without getting into spoilerly details, I’d say the weakest aspect is the villain’s character arc. The way the villain is revealed came off as very flat, and not that well thought out. Plus, there was no villain song =/. Aside from that, I loved the other characters and there were some really good songs. Surprisingly, I didn’t hate the snowman character nearly as much as I was anticipating. Still, Disney spent too much of their promotion on the snowman, which alone turned me off from him.
Also, I have made a thread for the discussion of the potential of incorporating Frozen into Once: https://oncepodcast.com/forums/topic/potential-for-frozen-characters-appearing-on-once/

ModeratorI’m confused because I thought this episode they are back in Storybrooke? It certainly looked like it in the preview. Is Pan going to turn Storybrooke into the “New Neverland”?
I think it’s called “The New Neverland”, because they took all of Neverland’s inhabitants back with them.

ModeratorOhh my. Very bizarre. So the plan is to push Pan over the town line so he forgets who he is? But it backfires because it’s Henry and he can cross the line anyway. Wow.
No, Pan was never a victim of the curse, so he wouldn’t lose his memories. He would lose his ability to use magic.

She hasn’t tweeted or instgramed anything about going to Vancouver recently.
If this scene is with Aurora and Phillip in the present, Mulan wouldn’t be needed here as she had left to join with Robin Hood. If we see Jamie at all, it will be if they’re filming any Robin Hood scenes soon.

ModeratorWell that’s a curious mishmash if ever I saw one. Snow has the long FTL flashback hair.
Belle is back in the gold dress.
Neal’s in a FTL costume too.
Aurora, and I think also Philip, are hanging out in the background of one of those shots.
And Hook’s there in his red vest, just chillin’ and laughin’ with everyone.
WHAT IS GOING ON?!Perhaps either theory that the new curse either created a permanent portal between SB and FTL, or the theory that the two realms somehow merge is looking likely. Still confusing…

ModeratorPretty sure he was just live-tweeting during the AMAs since it was on in our timeslot and had nothing to do with her potentially being on the show. Also there would be riots if anybody other than Mandy Moore took the role of Rapunzel and Zac Levi for Flynn. There’s just no excuse not to have them so I seriously seriously doubt that this was anything other than congratulating someone on winning an award that was on during our regularly scheduled showtime. Stupid AMAs messing with our season. >.< [/quote] I think they are purposely avoiding having any Disney actors reprise their roles, for the sake of having their own interpretations. They didn't get Pat Carroll to voice Ursula, or anything similar, after all. As for Taylor Swift, I doubt Adam meant anything related to Once in that tweet.

ModeratorWell The Wiz was a musical first so I don’t know how that works rights wise, but I would that you have to pay the writers/producers instead of a company. The 1978 movie a Motwon and Universal Studios Production. But ALL of that was based on the books by Baum, which are easier to gets rights to than say Peter Pan.
The original Wizard of Oz book is actually public domain, so I don’t believe Disney has to pay a thing to use the source material itself. And sadly, I think Oz using a heavy dosage of CGI is likely. When you have a yellow brick road, the Emerald City, and the Witch’s castle, you know they will use visual effects. So, I’m expecting something similar to Oz The Great and Powerful, but with a lower budget.
Also, The Wiz isn’t the only film version of The Wizard of Oz to feature an African American portrayal of Dorothy. The Muppet Wizard of Oz, also produced by Disney, also features an African American Dorothy, played by Ashanti.

ModeratorSo, I guess this is a false alarm. Thanks for clarifying, Phee. However, if it does really air for whatever reason, what me and RG said still apply.

ModeratorMatt and I just said this in the chat, but it bears repeating for everyone:
If the Aussies DO get 309 before America, please DO NOT post any illegal download links either in the forum OR in the chat. It could potentially cause problems for Daniel with ABC.
Thanks guys!
With that in mind, Australians are still welcome to discuss the episode itself. Just be sure to keep it in the spoiler section, since we go by American airings.
