I was so sure that it would be AoS. I’m clue-less now.
Yeah, honestly, if it’s not AoS then I have no idea. Really was sure it’d be a huge Marvel tie in
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I still find this problematic–the story of Jekyll and Hyde *is* a complete story in our world. The novella has a very clear ending, a very clear message and thesis. I know the writers don’t really think in these terms but I find it problematic.
As we’ve talked about before, this doesn’t just apply to Jekyll and Hyde, though. Most of the stories we’ve seen adapted on OUAT have taken place years after the stories in our world were already written. The ending to Aurora and Rapunzel’s stories even occurred post-Curse.
Yes but I’m still bothered by *all* this and would really like an explanation about how Snow White could be a centuries old tale when OUAT’s Snow White is only about (including Curse) 60 some years old, with the well known elements of her story (the apple, the huntsman) occurring 40+ years ago. Since time in concurrent, as A and E keep telling us, then how.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I’m glad they are letting Josh out of that horrid wig he had to wear before, though still unsure when this all takes place.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"TVLINE | Why is lording over Storybrooke so important to Mr. Hyde (played by Smallville‘s Sam Witwer)?
KITSIS | It is the place where he can have his story play out. When we get into his backstory, you’ll realize that some people may be in the Land of Untold Stories in a way where they’re “trapped.” So, similar to the way Hook wanted to get to the Land Without Magic, so he could kill Gold, you’ll realize Hyde wants to get to Storybrooke so that his story can play out.

TVLINE | Where are we entering the Aladdin story, in the scheme of what we already know about it?
HOROWITZ | It’s a tricky question to answer. Given the nature of our show with flashbacks and different timelines, we may be entering it at multiple points. Where we see [the story at] in the premiere episode is a very different point from where we enter it later in the season.
Okay but what I really want to know is about Jafar. Where are these flashbacks on his timeline. Is he Aladdin’s Genie?

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Just another thought—608 might not be the winter finale only because A and E didn’t write it and they usually do write any sort of finale/premieres. Of course, this isn’t a hard or fast rule so it’s possible that A and E chose to put more effort into writing 609 (the spring premiere) and let someone else take the winter finale, especially since now that split seasons are gone, the winter finale is not the finale of an entire storyline.
But there are no more “spring” premieres, and they didn’t write the episodes which followed the winter finales in s1-2.
Oh good point. And in both S1 and S2, they wrote at least 3 episodes (Pilot, The Thing You Love Most, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter; Broken, The Doctor, Queen of Hearts)
Hmmm. So if they write 609 then maybe that’s the final episode for winter? But that would be so awkward in scheduling–one episode, two weeks after the last one, because of the AMA’s. Unless, they air 608 and 609 on the same night?

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"At this rate, I’m going to assume that the few of us with press passes won’t be able to preview it this time around and we’ll have to stick to all the hints that the big media sites post.
Matt was saying the same thing to me earlier and I agreed.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"“I’d say dead is dead,” Kitsis answered without skipping a beat.
the “without skipping a beat” is really the best part here. He doesn’t even need to think about it.
Also, their whole “we see all of the tweets–all 3,000 of them every five seconds…” WOW. Talk about passive aggressive. I’ve been saying it for years but these two need to get off social media because they aren’t emotionally mature enough to be showrunners and deal with a rabid fanbase who has the ability to communite 24/7/365 in 140 characters.
