ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast
Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
I really think they are done with Emma and Belle, so i think whatever happens from here on out is going to be about the new characters.
Yeah I agree Em is probably done, much like with JMo. So when we didn’t get a Rumbelle baby or grandbaby reveal I think that particular theory is done. I do like the idea that this is a red herring mostly because I don’t think making Alice Roger’s kid is a good narrative point at all. It just feels incredibly random.
Plus if they’d done this we never would’ve had those Evil Queen scenes in season six because Belle would’ve been right there to drop a bookcase on EQ if she tried any of that in front of her.
*shudders*
I really don’t want them to screw up Facilier.
Bummed. Definitely bummed.
I just think it would be such a richer story for Alice to be Rumple and Belle’s daughter, trying to wake her father up and find a way to help him break his Dark One’s Curse. It would be such a full circle for Rumple.
Perhaps this is why Bobby agreed to sign on, as I could see this being a storyline that he’d be on board with. He’d find this to be a fitting final character arc for Rumple.
Yes I think they sold him on this story and got one more year with him. So….4 years later I’m finally right?!
Just as casually as Alice herself mentioned in the episode that she used to have an ex-girlfriend who worked for Belfrey
That line made me wonder if it was Drizella.
After such a good episode, I’m so nervous about the next one.
Did you like this reveal or are you bummed Alice isn’t a Rumbelle baby/granddaughter?
I am okay with her not being Rumbelle’s baby or granddaughter, but why did they reveal this so soon. I would have liked more mystery.
It was also rather clumsily done. “Oh a random chess board! In a hospital! Gee this must be a clue!”
Also: what’s a guardian? who’s a guardian?
We got a bit more character development on Ivy tonight, even if it was a bit what we expected. She longs for her mother approval above all else but is lonely. Will she and Henry strike up a cursed!relationship? What makes her so desperate for Victoria’s approval?
. IF A MOTHER DENIES HER APPROVAL TO A CHILD… THAT IS ALL THAT THE CHILD WILL WANT. . .
Yes, the real question is “why did Lady T favor Anastasia over Drizella?”
