It really seems to me like people either think she’s perfect or they hate the way she portray’s Young Snow. I happen to fall on the side that thinks she’s great I’ve loved her appearances as young Snow cause it’s not just that she’s a believable as a character but as the way her adult counterpart plays the character. You really believe that this is the young version of Snow it’s incredible to me.

Stop staring at these numbers like at some fantastic scary dragon. The question is, what does ABC expect, do they get the audience they want to reach or not. And before they will think about cancelling they will have to come with something as good to fill this time slot.
The numbers aren’t even bad, they are solid. And Once Upon a Time does particular well with key Women.

Totally agree Once is too good a show to be showing numbers like this ABC needs to step up it’s marketing to make sure things don’t get worse. The problem with Once like you said is for a lot of people if they miss an episode they feel like the’re completely out of it so they figure they’ll catch up at the end of the season and pick it up again. They need to figure out a way to carry the momentum from the start of the season to the end better.
Well, that is the risk these kind of shows always take. There is a reason why police procedurals are over long periods among the top viewed shows, it’s easier to skip episodes, getting more random viewers. You can do what you want on Once Upon, unless you turn the show into a procedural random viewers will not watch this show. And good luck with turning any random viewers into regulars.
Thanks for being the voice of tranquility here lol, the numbers last season were just so much better even though I think this season has been better. I’m not really saying the need to turn Once into a police procedural kind of thing but there has to be a better way to take that momentum that the show gets to start the season and maintain it. Hiatuses tend to hurt a show like this I think there was three wasn’t there? Like Nonnie suggested I think those marathons really help last year that’s actually how I picked up watching the show last year was during the winter hiatus they aired every episode from the pilot to I think Heart is a lonely Hunter and after that I couldn’t wait for it to air I was Hooked!

LAST YEAR … OUAT / ABC did several things to bring in the viewers….. Marathon sessions so people / family could get hooked…. release of a DVD that allowed people who missed the start of the season to get caught up AND interested in show.
If there is an Easter break they should have a marathon session… and maybe release the first 10-12 episodes in DVD format with a discount coupon to use toward DVDs of the last half of the season.
The problem with OUaT it is really easy to loose track of the show and archs if you miss a show. I can usually only watch on TV as I have limited bandwidth as does a good 50% of the households in the USA.
It also might be nice if ABC would run reruns of OUaT during the summer. That would really hook more viewers into wanting to see Season 3.
Anybody have any other ideas.Nonnie

Of course, it goes up about another 2 million with DVR/next day views. So really for last night the episode will probably be about 9.0 million?
Probably with DVR it’ll land at about 9.3 and we’ll get another .1 or .2 boost hopefully, I just don’t know these past two episodes have been great I just think the choppy way they’ve scheduled the show has been hurting the ratings.
Think that’s hurting the numbers? The fact that Once had a stronger show to lead in to last time around?
You know to me having spoilers are a little like how Rumple sees the future we might know something is gonna happen but we don’t really know how it all plays out. So really just because you know the end game doesn’t take away the fun of seeing how the story gets from one point to another. I think that little part in Manhattan was a little wink to spoiler watchers like me lol. Most of the time I find that the spoilers I find just create more questions in my mind and drive me more crazy waiting for Sunday.
I thought this episode was great Manhattan, The Queen is Dead and The Miller’s Daughter all seem to be like the best of the season. Again loved the performance by young Snow, the moment when Hook busts through that door? And that line after he stabs Rumple?! And to top that whole sequence off Bae calls Rumple Papa! Wow! I was wondering at first how Hook was able to find them so quickly then it hit me! The map that they found wasn’t to the dagger it was to Bae, and that meant the easiest way for Cora and Regina to get the dagger was for Snow and Charming to find it for them.
Ok what did Emma pull now? What is that a wand? And that first pic it looks more like Emma is consoling Regina than threatening her lol this is all so confusing! Still how cool is it too see all the heros including Bae lined up with swords… well except Snow she’s just kinda hanging out where’s her bow?!

That’s the thing the ABC lineup is in bad shape it’s not like the show is putting out a bad product all things considered Once is still the best thing ABC has going for them
This is true, but ABC competes with other networks, and isn’t going to want to be 3rd out of 4 in ratings. They have sponsors, and stock holders who they will want to assure that investing in ABC’s stock and projects are profitable, and are a good investment. Their sponsors will track how many people will be expected to see their advertisements, and they will track where the best places are to buy those slots. Their stock holders will be interested in how ABC invests it’s resources, and how those investments are returned. ABC is by no means in trouble, but their exectives are smart people and they aren’t going to want to make any decisions that could get them there. If Once is the best thing ABC has going for them, then that is why I fear for Once Upon A Time after next season if the ratings don’t get any better. I believe with 100% of my confidence though, that those ratings can get better, and that Once Upon A Time can be the main topic of conversation at every watercooler in America every Monday morning.
That”a why I mean, Once is a good product for ABC the need to fix the way it’s scheduled and how it’s marketed to the casual audience. With Once you have to tune in every week or you lose it, then most people just wait till the end of the season to see every episode in succession, or the start watching it more online or on the DVR. With Once they’d be better off having one long hiatus at winter break and not all these mini hiatuses we have been seeing.
