ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast
Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
7. Have they ever transformed or been transformed into something other than human? No.
Not Maleficent.
Not Caterpillar or Anastasia. Getting warmer though…
6. Are they male? No.
Not the Author.
4. Have they been in season 1? Yes and No. Remember, they can be from the whole OUAT universe…
5. Were they in more than one episode? Yes.
Not the Blind Witch.
3. Did they have an episode dedicated to their backstory?
No. What a great question!
Not Rumple.
1. Are they magical? Yes.
2. Are they a villain? Essentially,yes.
I’ll go again! Ok, I’m thinking of a character.
Hmmmm. A male who is alive in Storybrooke and who isn’t from the Enchanted Forest…is it Dr. Whale/Dr. Frankenstein?
6. Have we seen the character as a child on the show?
We can all go on and on about ratings and ABC and blah blah blah, but narrative-wise, I think it’s time to wrap this up because the cracks having been showing for awhile now and every season they get more and more noticeable.
I agree the story has run it’s course. I don’t know if they could do it well, but I wouldn’t mind if they wrapped up the storylines for our current characters, and then begin a completely new storyline with new characters, perhaps by way of a flash-forward or in another realm. Our current main cast could return periodically for flashbacks as needed. I know the characters are what keep us coming back to watch this show, but I think the show’s unique and imaginative concept itself could be shown in a fresh way again. Either that, or they could do complete one-season stories like they did with Wonderland. OUAT in Neverland, OUAT in Land Without Color, OUAT in Oz etc.
