Once Upon A Time
ONCE UPON A TIME - "The Miller's Daughter" - Cora's desire to rid herself of Rumplestiltskin in order to take his place as The Dark One takes one step closer to becoming reality as she and Regina try to overpower a dying Mr. Gold, and Mary Margaret is once again tempted by dark magic. Meanwhile, in the fairytale land that was, Rumplestiltskin agrees to offer his services to a younger Cora - for a price - when the king calls her bluff and orders her to actually follow through on her boast of being able to spin straw into gold, on "Once Upon a Time," SUNDAY, MARCH 10 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

It almost looks like Rumple is proposing to Cora.
ReplyDeleteI see a new ship on the horizon!
Image number 2, the first two pictures in the bottom row :D
ReplyDeleteI foresee squadrons of SwanQueen shippers' ovaries exploding over this.
ReplyDeleteI can't say I blame them. They look more like they're hugging and holding on to each other for comfort in the first pic. Emma especially.
ReplyDeletelol tho I dont mind shipping them normally but these images to me just shows Emma holding Regina hostage with something...the dagger? Hard to see still.
ReplyDeleteI'm more curious about how that happens, I also like that Emma apparently can take on the evil queen, yay.
LOL, poor David. He keeps getting attacked.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture with the Charmings and Neal on the defensive.
Is Cora wearing a wedding dress? And it definitely looks like Rumpel is proposing there.
For me is wooden wand.
ReplyDeleteOh man, all those Cora/Rumple pics!!! Btw, Rose looking a lot like Barbara Hershey, mega props for that.
ReplyDeleteI totally see them giving us lots of Cora/Rumple feels just to kill her off by the end of the episode. It will be devastating in the best OUAT fashion.
Wow. Looks like there's going to be quite the confrontation in Mr. Gold's shop. And on the Fairy Tale side of things, Rose McGowan seems like an excellent choice to play a younger Cora in terms of looks. It does seem as if things are going to get romantic between her and Rumpel to some degree...
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe she'll finally use this magical ability they keep hinting at but which we rarely see in action. She's already blasted Cora once; perhaps she can do it again.
ReplyDeleteWhat the frell??? O.o Cora/Rumple? He's the one who made a declaration of his love? I guess she didn't love him back, otherwise his curse would have been undone by a kiss. Maybe she loved someone else and played Rumple, then tried to take him down?
ReplyDeleteOh my... One week left to prepare mentally for what's to come.
P.S.: Rofl at Jen's puppy-eye look of incredulity. It's almost as if she's hiding behind Regina.
Soooo SQ shippers go craaaazy ! ^^ Can't blame us... It's what we've been waiting for ages now! Anyway it is clearly the look of someone watching her mama die so, goodbye Cora ! It was (not) nice seeing you. It's for the best, she was in the way of THE SWAN QUEEN. Now that plasticface is gone Emma and Regina will have to talk and THAT means --> BENCH :)
ReplyDeleteWAIT a minute ... That means Emma kicked Regina's ass ! Haha ! Can't wait to see this !
ReplyDeleteThe stories this shop can tell after this epic confrontation. <3
ReplyDeleteRose looks just so lovely and right as a young Cora. Can't wait for this ep.
ReplyDeleteLol I can't wait to see all the Swan Queen manips with these pics. I don't even ship it but I know it's coming. I wonder where Gold is in all of this. (I love looking in the background in his shop! There might be little Easter eggs.)
ReplyDeleteRose looks stunning! I cannot wait to see her performance.
Bit of a timing question here, if hook and rumple met before he found magic, is hook suppose to be the same age or older than cora? Because in season one when Regina was talking to her father about her mom, he said cora became that way before he met her ie before Reginas existence
ReplyDeleteWell, Rumple is nearly 300 years old, and Hook is around 20 years younger than him. So I guess that makes Hook at least 200 years older than Cora (depending on whether you count the time the Dark Curse lasted while she was in that magic bubble).
ReplyDeleteRumple met Cora before her and Henry got married. I bet she became evil in between her first meeting Rumple and when they got married.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it seems that Hook must be older then Cora, but as we know, he spent quite some time in Netherland and didn't age... It also means that Neal/Bae is older than Cora.
ReplyDeleteThanks to all who replied :) makes better sense now !
ReplyDeleteWell yes she is wearing the wedding dress so she can marry King or Prince Henry, That was the deal with Rumpel.
ReplyDeleteThis has been the episode I have been waiting for months...
ReplyDeleteWe finally can figure out what the relationship between Rumpel, Cora, and Regina is and from last night's episode we can find out what the connection between Cora and Princess Eva
Am I the only one who sees a stake (for killing vampires) there? :-D
ReplyDeleteWell, interesting theory, but to me these pictures tell a different story. I think that Emma will hold Regina as a hostage, telling Cora to drop the dagger or else she'll hurt/kill Regina. And Cora's reaction is gonna be like "Meh, what do I care?" :) I think that's why both Regina and Emma look so shocked and horrified there.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be so weird seeing Rose playing something other than Paige.
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting too.
ReplyDelete[SPOILER!!!]
The problem is, someone must die. We know it from Ausiello. It can't be Rumple because Robert Carlile droped accidentally some spoilers about the end of the season for Rumple at the Paleyfest. All of the other characters are almost untouchable except Cora and Neal. (based on the promotionnal photos of the season and the persons that are in the big fight)
So it could be Neal but then it would be like cutting an healthy branch. And I have the feeling that the writers have so much problems to cause with him...
So the obvious choice would be Cora, plus the episode is based on her. But maybe it's not at the exact same time that Regina is doing the "I think I'm gonna cry!" face....
I think the same.
ReplyDeleteIt's not Neal. He is in the rest of the season.
ReplyDeleteThats a good one, so they are totally channeling an adult Buffy and Faith.
ReplyDeletePlus there is also the matter of Dark Snow seeking vengeance and wanting to kill Cora. Given the promo, I think she'll find a heart that she thinks is Cora's and she'll crush it... But it will be someone else's heart, so she'll kill an innocent and we'll get two deaths in this episode...
ReplyDeleteCora might die okay but Rose said she would be back next season. I know it doesn't mean that current Cora has to be alive but I'm only 80% sure she will die. Plus, the promo said one of their own.
ReplyDeleteWow I'm so excited for this episode :p ! I'm sure the confrontation will be epic :D I so glad Emma is in Storybrook again! because (SQ shipper or not) Emma/Regina interactions (and Snow/Regina) are always so amazing:) it was seriously missing in season 2..... can't wait!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree with the Snow picked the wrong heart part. C'mon she's not that intelligent to kill Cora, is she ? But TWO deaths ? Nah seems to much to me... Maybe Cora will stay alive and there will just be the big mistake of Snow... Maybe we will not see who died because he/she will not be in Storybrooke, that would be interesting!
ReplyDeleteCould be, but why do the spoilers say the we'll get a "pretty sizable death" then? That leads me to thinking that some of the well-known faces die...
