In a new interview, Adam said this, seemingly regarding the schedule:
We hope that when the audience finishes watching the first 10…
Source: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/once-a-time-season-premiere-932031 So I guess they’re airing 10 episodes before taking off for the holidays?
So first 8, then a break for AMA’s, then 2 more afterwards?
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Quick poll: the Red Bird–who here thinks that Iago?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I don’t think for a single second that Emma will really die. And I think her “villain” is really herself, with her walls, standing in the way of her own happy ending.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"And wait! Why would he impersonate Morpheus? How did he even know that Hyde would tell Rumple to go that Temple? Can he hear from this place inside Belle’s womb who is inside a box?!?!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"RumBaby was just impersonating Morpheus. There IS a Morpheus somewhere with an unguarded temple for some reason, but little baby rumbaby was only pretending to be Morpheus.
*blinks*
The fetus is…what? A few weeks, if that? I mean they literally got pregnant the night before Emma marched them off the Underworld and Belle came down only a few episodes after that (which is really just a few days in show universe). They were down there just a little bit longer before coming home and the show picks up seconds after the finale.
*blinks*
So he’s Morpheus but he’s not Morpheus.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Well that told me next to nothing about next week
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"From my understanding, lil RumBaby isn’t the REAL Morpheus….he just became, uh, not a fetus in the dream world when Rump put the dust on Belle, and told Rump he was Morpheus to do whatever it was he was doing. Right?
I honestly have no idea because I was too busy laughing myself sick over the crack pot theory coming true.
So he’s really Baby!Rumbelle but not like from the future? Then how is there a Temple built for him? And how is his temple in the Land of Untold Stories (is it?)
Now I’m just massively confused. He is Baby!Rumbelle, tho?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Easy answer to question: no.
This is my issue with the seasonal problem: I don’t for a single second believe Emma Swan will actually die. There are really no stakes here.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Well in a shock to everyone…it really wasnt OUAT. Must be Last Man on Earth
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Welcome back everyone; I hope you all had a great summer!
General: I thought this episode was a middle of the road episode. It wasn’t horrible but it also fails to live up to any hype, for me at least. It felt like a lot of scenes simply thrown, one after the next, without any real glue holding them together (like, why is Hyde in Town Hall? How did everyone know to go to the woods and watch the Blimp? How did Zelena know to move into Regina’s? How did Snow know to go to Regina’s vault; how did Snow and Regina end up together talking at the very end?) You can’t put your characters in situations and not tell me how they go there.
Out of a 10, I’d give this episode a 6
LIKED
–Pongo!
–“Keep on calling me girl; see how that works out for you” Sometimes Emma has her spunk
–So Belle was in the Red Room but not when Rumple pulls her from that place into Dream World? Sure. It’s an answer at least.
–Pretty sure that Red Bird is Fawkes from Harry Potter. (but who exactly is this Little Girl??) (is it Iago?)
–“For you I would be the best man I could be.” Then prove it, Rumple! Stop claiming to love the dagger as much as you love Belle.
–My crack pot theory about Morpheus is right. I can’t even right now. Like, really? I was JOKING, writers!
–Regina’s speech about choosing to believe she gets a different ending was great. Lana really is a gift to this show.
MIXED
-In spite of the recasting, I like the thesis Jafar is putting forth about Saviors not getting happy endings. But it’s rarely true in stories. The hero does get some sort of happy ending, but it may not be what the expect–this can include death but death for their cause. Buffy is still the Slayer but she is no longer alone in her quest; Harry defeats Voldemort and lives with his family and friends, no longer an orphan; Frodo finds peace in the Grey Lands and Aragorn is restored to his kingdom with his Elven bride. These archetypes are archetypes and cliches for a reason. I get that the show is spinning their own version and I’m interested to see how it plays out but I don’t get how Jafar can make such a claim (our world examples are just that–examples.)
–Was Belle really terrified of the castle? And her life there? She saw through Rumple’s Beast persona in the beginning. She saw that he wasn’t as dark as he tried to make her believe–that was sort of the point of Belle.
–The Rumbelle dance was lovely but also a cheap marketing plot since Beauty and the Beast just came out on Blu Ray or something.
DISLIKED
–A blimp flies over the town and within 5 seconds the entire town is assembled in the woods, without any sort of communication, right where Hyde happens to be!
–How did Zelena move in when they JUST got back from New York/Land of Untold Stories? Regina didn’t even ask! She came home, talked to Hyde and that was that.
–Has Emma grown at all? Every year we are told that someone–Neal, Henry, Hook, Regina, Elsa–knocks down Emma’s walls. But oh! There we are, Archie spewing the same platitudes about Emma and her walls with Emma shutting everyone out.
–“I think Hades was wrong. I think Robin is at peace.” AKA: stop bothering us, fandom! We don’t have time to think through the moral consequences of our show!
–Remember when Regina and Zelena made great strides in “Sisters”? So much for that! The back and forth is so tedious. Also, they just had Regina place all the blame on Zelena and absolve Emma totally. I can’t.
