FRAAAAAAANNNNNK?!?!?!?!?! GSUGODJGSDKLGNSKGNSKEGNEORUEASKFNASD!!!!! Will be back to make actual coherent comments once I’ve put the pieces of my brain back together.
[adrotate group="5"]Agreed with those are glad he doesn’t get defeated in that one scene. Hope he shows up again before the season is over to wreak some havoc. And I do enjoy how Regina and Emma can just tag-team off the cuff now.
“I thought the spell was only supposed to release the fairies”
Uhh… what about the Apprentice? Did Hook not mention him for whatever reason or did they just go “Eh, forget him”.
Knowing this show’s track record with such things, I think they just want us to forget, (the Apprentice is SO last half season, no one remembers him or cares what happened to him).
The promo photos look great.
But…I’m not OCD about many things, but it’s RLY bugging me that they used the same font for Ursula and Maleficent, then a completely different font for Cruella. *twitch*
And changing their mind about the story for a character that was a foundation of the mythology of the show is no biggie. But they can’t kill off a brand new concept villain without concocting a convoluted way to bring ’em back.
Every now and then, we don’t pick our words with quite the exactitude we’d like.
Laugh, cry, or scream? I can’t decide.
Just drink!
We have an idea for her for next year.
The land Mulan’s from is probably adjacent to Agrabah.
In this case the writers actually came to public to say that Oliver and Feliciry are only a couple, bc of the popularity they have in the fandom, so they never thought in doing it, but the fans demanded and they did it. I used to see Arrow, saw all seasons in a row, during the summer, but as soon as i found out about this, i stop seing, bc if the writers go by fashions, means that if someone more pop comes, they will change the story to make the fans happy, and after ouat i would not go into a mess like that.
There won’t ever be a more popular ship on Arrow that Olicity. If there’s anything that puts me off the ship in any way, it’s not the writing for it, it’s some of the obnoxious shippers. It can get a bit reminiscent of CSers vs Neal when you have Oliciters vs Laurel. It’s like fandom war PTSD for me sometimes.
Yup. I did a head desk and reminded myself that this is why I’ve pretty much stopped reading their interviews
Before I clicked the link I knew I’d regret it. Didn’t know I’d regret it quite that much though.
What I love about Ichabbie is that the writers never tried to force a romance between the two. It happened for the fans because the two leads have a dynamic chemistry. Abbie, the pragmatist that she is, doesn’t sit around and wallow over her love life. She has other concerns. She doesn’t want ponder life with Ichabod as a romance, she isn’t torn about her feelings over him or any such thing. When Abbie and Jenny sit and talk together it isn’t about a man, it’s about saving the world. Ichabbie are partners and friends first and foremost and she’s never asked for more. That’s like…insanely unique for a woman on TV.
And this is why Abbie is made of awesome!
Reminds me quite a bit of Olicity. The writers have Oliver’s comic book half in Laurel but Olicity blew up ALL THE THINGS.
At least the writers admit that that’s why Olicity happened though, so even though it’s total fanservice, I still ship it, (and I can’t bring myself to ship along comic canon lines because Laurel deserves better than the guy who cheated on her with her sister). Also, the way they’ve been writing Olicity in the last few eps shows that they haven’t done a disservice to Felicity, because she’s still a strong, independent character, (I do love Oliver, but I also love when people put him in his place, because sometimes it’s totally necessary).
So, I was just reading a new A&E interview, and…
D23: You told us last May that Zelena had died. And yet here comes Rebecca Mader back as the Wicked Witch. What gives?
Eddy: Apparently the quote, “The news of my death has been greatly exaggerated,” applies in this case.
Adam: From the perspective of our characters, she was dead. And from the perspective of our characters, she remains dead. Every now and then, we don’t pick our words with quite the exactitude we’d like.
Eddy: Or we have a really great idea a week later. It’s really fun to see Regina and her sister. We have a really fun idea that we love for Zelena that we started kicking around toward the end of last year and have slowly been putting into place.Gee, you don’t say.
Speaking of, for Jo and Ranisha, last night we talked a bit about if Katrina was killed for Ichabbie in the same way that Neal was obviously killed for CS. I pretty much totally disagree and if you are more interested in why, I did touch on it in my review
(mostly in the notes section)
I think the main reason Katrina was killed, (and also Henry in the previous ep), was because they dunno yet if they’ll get another season, so they sort of re-set things, and if it ends with that core foursome of Ichabod, Abbie, Jenny and Frank, about to set off on more world saving adventures, then that’s an OK place to end it, but it’s also a good setup for next season if they get it, so it’s a win/win.
I know Ichabbie has a huge following, but personally I don’t see anything romantic between them, it’s all about the BROTP for me, and I think it might ruin their dynamic if they got together. The majority of the audience wants to see it happen though, so it’ll probably happen at some point if the show continues. Ichabod and Katrina are a chemistry-free zone and they were totally awkward with each other, (and I think this is probably a unique case where pretty much an entire fandom of a show can agree on a NOTP), so there’s no way they could have ever had them rekindle their relationship properly and have it be believable, so I don’t think that her remaining alive would have prevented them doing Ichabbie if they wanted to, so I don’t think that’s why she was killed. If anything it would have just amped up the animosity and made Katrina go even darker if she saw Ichabbie get together, (and another thing I think pretty much the whole fandom agrees on is that Katrina started to get interesting when she started to go dark), so really it woulda made more sense to keep her alive.
Am I the only one who isn’t thrilled by the appearance of a demon? I feel like whenever a fantasy show goes that route, it means the writers have officially run out of good ideas.
I don’t think it’s particularly surprising that he’s showing up now, because he’s another character from Fantasia, the same movie that gave us the Sorcerer’s Apprentice and the Hat.
