I wonder if that's the case though.Maybe they just showed her in SB for this clip..I'm pretty sure we'll see her in Neverland. I mean last year,they showed Captain Hook in SB(which happened half way into the season),getting his hook from Gold's shop,which never happened.I don't think we should read too much into this. But I agree,it's about time Ariel showed up!
This is just a teaser, I think they will be in NL like 15 or 18 episodes from this season, Ariel will return to SB with Emma, Henry, Regina and the Charmings.
I agree with what Kat said: in the teaser video from last year, Hook was clearly in Storybrooke but we first met him in present-day FTL. Plus, Hook has talked about mermaids before, if I remember correctly from his days in Neverland. So the group heading to Neverland is probably going to meet her.
Awesome teaser! I'm guessing this is after the movie (never read the actual story) since from the looks of things, she can switch from legs to fin pretty quickly.
I think it could go either way. KatHale and Sarah make good points about last years teasers, but it's possible that Ariel passed through a portal somehow. I actually really like the prospect of Grumpy/Ariel Dynamic, even if they just become friends.
I had always thought she would be in Neverland. IF she is in Storybrooke, I'm going to guess that she fell through the portal when it opened in Neverland to let the Jolly Rodger through.
Yeah I realized that a little later, that the Hook promo from last year was different than what we saw in it. You're right tho, it's probably more of a 'look who's coming this season' than an actual clip from the show.
Oh i don't have anything against her i just don't think she is right for the part,but that's just me. I'm having a hard enough time getting excited for this show,this would just make it even harder than is already is.. Now Bec is a whole different story!
Between Elena and Holland. I'd prefer Elena. But in general she doesn't seem right either. In the video I didn't like how fake the hair looks. I'd prefer her to have the appearance of natural orange hair, i don't care if it is natural, dyed or a wig, as long as it looks real.
Couldn't think of anyone to play Ariel off the top of my head so i googled red haired actress. I think Ariel should look something like Bridget Regan or Eliza Swenson. Of course if the wanted to cast Rose Leslie I'd be okay with that.
Oh, if only Bridget Regan could star in OUAT, that would be so awesome! Unfortunately, that's not happening yet, she'll have an arch on next season's White Collar as Neal's new love interest.
Besides, the efforts of Legend of the Seeker fans to resurrect the show might finally pay off (fingers crossed). SMGO will make a pitch to some networks soon and who knows, we could see Bridget as the badass Mother Confessor again, a couple of years from now.
But in the meantime, I'd love to see Tabrett, Bruce, or the two Craig's on OUAT! :D
I don't know if this will explain my point very well but someone a tad more "conventionally girly pretty" that can pull off being a red head... Like Brittany Snow... not necessarily Brittany Snow herself, but someone in that category.
This is awesome. I can't wait to see how they work TLM into the Storybrooke mythos - so much OUAT potential in that story. Though Ariel is the character I'm most excited about seeing, I'm also looking forward to seeing what they do with Ursula. She would make a fantastic "big bad" at some point. Then again, given the tease we got about Ariel in Season 1, I suppose it's possible that Regina might somehow BE Ursula.
I'd cast Karen Gillan as Ariel in a second, but she's obviously not available. Too busy playing evil space pirates, and whatnot (can't wait to see her in Guardians of the Galaxy).
Well, she's definitely got the hair for it - and she has kind of a mermaid-y past, with that one Smallville episode...however, I don't think she's got the personality for the role.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Belle in the leadership role; I know they're going to be emphasizing the Jolly Roger crew but I'm actually more interested in how things will develop in Storybrooke. Especially since I think they've criminally ignored the fact that there are probably still dozens more otherworldly exiles in that town, all with interesting stories and motivations. It would be so cool if Belle were to encounter more of them.
Rebecca Mader would def be a feisty Ariel!! I would actually also love Evan Rachel Wood, but she might be a bit too much, unless they would go for a more villianess Ariel (and actually, I think she is pregnant at the moment). I doubt this will ever happen, but If they got Anna Torv to put her red wig back on ;) I also think Debra Anne Wool would be a super cute Ariel...
I think both sides will be interesting, but I too can't what to see what Storybrooke will be like without the big goods and the big bads!
I really liked Belle in the episode where she goes off and helps Mulan. It gives me great hope that season can deliver a lot more because I think the characters are (plot-wise) in better places for progressions! :)
There is so much they could do with Belle. I agree, all the characters are in better places now - especially since all the former enemies are being forced to work together. Should make for some great character drama.
Now if they could only get rid of Greg and Tamara...
I honestly really hope she isn't Regina. I want Ursula to be an entirely new character. I don't want Rumples to be Ursula either, which is the other theory that I have seen floating about; she's too epic and badass to be combined into another character.
Yeah, I want her to be a new character. They could lift her characterization right from the Little Mermaid film, and she'd still work perfectly in OUAT. Strip away all the commercialization of that movie, and you have a very compelling story with great characters that appeals to adults as well as kids.
I don't mind Greg and Tamara, I think they are interesting Villian's simply because at least one of them has an excuse to be to so brutal, and because they represent an organization with futuristic tech that could be an additional segway to something/somewhere else. But I agree, that unless Greg;'s Dad is still alive after all and in Neverland (how could they not use Captain Kirk?!) that they have served their purpose as Nikki and Paulo and deserve to be buried alive!
That's exactly the comparison I had in my head. The organization behind them sounds interesting, and Owen has a rather intriguing backstory...but I don't know, they just don't really work for me in the long run. Maybe it's just the actors who portray them. They don't bring a lot of charisma to their roles, and definitely aren't believable as major villains. More of an annoyance than anything else, I'd say.
Definitely! If they decide to go "mean-girl" Ariel, I could maybe see a RM type... but I don't know. Anything Once I approach with a huge ammount of precaution.
Maybe she crossed to Storybrooke when the ship was crossing to Neverland. The 'wormhole' might be two-way. And I wonder if we see this scene in an episode?
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Cant wait for this, lets hope they keep things interesting in storybrooke
ReplyDeleteAwe cute teaser!
ReplyDeleteAriel, my favorite Princess love it already.
ReplyDeletedinglehopper!
ReplyDeleteNever thought she would be present day Storybrooke, figured she would be in Neverland. Can't complain though, she's been a long time coming.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I like the most about this is the fact she stole the fork.
ReplyDeletevery cool!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that's the case though.Maybe they just showed her in SB for this clip..I'm pretty sure we'll see her in Neverland.
ReplyDeleteI mean last year,they showed Captain Hook in SB(which happened half way into the season),getting his hook from Gold's shop,which never happened.I don't think we should read too much into this.

ReplyDeleteAwesome video.
ReplyDeleteStill pulling for JoAnna Garcia Swisher as Ariel.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Kat said: in the teaser video from last year, Hook was clearly in Storybrooke but we first met him in present-day FTL. Plus, Hook has talked about mermaids before, if I remember correctly from his days in Neverland. So the group heading to Neverland is probably going to meet her.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I'm sure they can/will accommodate her daughter. If not, well, it's (unfortunately) almost baseball's offseason!
ReplyDeleteAwesome teaser! I'm guessing this is after the movie (never read the actual story) since from the looks of things, she can switch from legs to fin pretty quickly.
ReplyDeleteI think it could go either way. KatHale and Sarah make good points about last years teasers, but it's possible that Ariel passed through a portal somehow. I actually really like the prospect of Grumpy/Ariel Dynamic, even if they just become friends.
ReplyDeleteand the theme of theiving continues! ;)
ReplyDeleteHave they already cast Ariel? What does Felicia Day have going on right now?
ReplyDeleteI had always thought she would be in Neverland. IF she is in Storybrooke, I'm going to guess that she fell through the portal when it opened in Neverland to let the Jolly Rodger through.
ReplyDeleteYeah I realized that a little later, that the Hook promo from last year was different than what we saw in it. You're right tho, it's probably more of a 'look who's coming this season' than an actual clip from the show.
ReplyDeletePraying for Rebecca Mader!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see Rebecca Mader or Felicia Day as Ariel! :)
ReplyDeleteOh no not Felicia,than i'll never watch it...
ReplyDeleteWhat do you have against Felicia? If I may ask? :)
ReplyDeleteOh i don't have anything against her i just don't think she is right for the part,but that's just me. I'm having a hard enough time getting excited for this show,this would just make it even harder than is already is.. Now Bec is a whole different story!
ReplyDeleteThat's so freaking cool
ReplyDeleteFuck yes!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HECK YES! SOOOO GLAD!
ReplyDeletebummer though in a way, I would have liked to see Snow and Emma with Ariel. Red will be cool though.
ReplyDeleteI've had the image of Ariel in my head for a long time, and that image belongs to Elena Satine
ReplyDeleteI had to google her, but she sorta looks the part. Thanks to tumblr, I have had Holland Roden (Teen Wolf, apparently) in my head as Ariel.
ReplyDeleteSo flippin excited!! Ariel is my absolute FAVORITE! I hope they treat her right!
ReplyDeleteBetween Elena and Holland. I'd prefer Elena. But in general she doesn't seem right either. In the video I didn't like how fake the hair looks. I'd prefer her to have the appearance of natural orange hair, i don't care if it is natural, dyed or a wig, as long as it looks real.
ReplyDeleteI like both actresses but neither scream Ariel to me. I think she should be 20-35s. Have a young beautiful face but a good smile.
ReplyDeleteIf she dyed her hair to have a strong orange/ red colour. I'd be good with her. Her natural hair looks more brown than red.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't think of anyone to play Ariel off the top of my head so i googled red haired actress. I think Ariel should look something like Bridget Regan or Eliza Swenson. Of course if the wanted to cast Rose Leslie I'd be okay with that.
ReplyDeleteOh Ariel....
ReplyDeleteCheesy and half ass made promo though...
I don't think that was an actual clip from the show though...
ReplyDeleteI'm down for that!
ReplyDeleteOH! Or Brittany Snow! (did she her pilot get picked up, I can't remember...)
Ditto!
ReplyDeleteBoth great actress neither I would cast for Ariel though...
ReplyDeleteZena Grey!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!
I LOVE IT!
I love it! No body steals from a Dwarf! Too Funny!
ReplyDeleteHmm, that's fair. And Rebecca would be great! With her being on Lost and Fringe they might already be leaning in that direction!
ReplyDeleteSo, that begs the question, who would you cast? :)
ReplyDeleteThat's fair, so I'm wondering who do you have in mind? :)
ReplyDeletePROBABLY mermaids can travel through ocean between Neverland and Storybrooke.
ReplyDeleteI had to google actress cause I couldn't think of any. Physically Bridget Regan or Eliza Swenson or some else with that same look.
ReplyDeleteOh, if only Bridget Regan could star in OUAT, that would be so awesome! Unfortunately, that's not happening yet, she'll have an arch on next season's White Collar as Neal's new love interest.
ReplyDeleteBesides, the efforts of Legend of the Seeker fans to resurrect the show might finally pay off (fingers crossed). SMGO will make a pitch to some networks soon and who knows, we could see Bridget as the badass Mother Confessor again, a couple of years from now.
But in the meantime, I'd love to see Tabrett, Bruce, or the two Craig's on OUAT! :D
Both could work! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this will explain my point very well but someone a tad more "conventionally girly pretty" that can pull off being a red head... Like Brittany Snow... not necessarily Brittany Snow herself, but someone in that category.
ReplyDeleteYeah; that's why they didn't show her face. They may not even have cast her yet (if they had, I think they would have announced it at Comic-Con).
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. I can't wait to see how they work TLM into the Storybrooke mythos - so much OUAT potential in that story. Though Ariel is the character I'm most excited about seeing, I'm also looking forward to seeing what they do with Ursula. She would make a fantastic "big bad" at some point. Then again, given the tease we got about Ariel in Season 1, I suppose it's possible that Regina might somehow BE Ursula.
ReplyDeleteThat is a FABULOUS idea!!!
ReplyDeleteThat makes a lot of sense, actually. I'm voting for that theory.
ReplyDeleteAnd perhaps she's not the only person who came through...this might make an interesting situation for Belle to have to deal with while Rumple's away.
I'd cast Karen Gillan as Ariel in a second, but she's obviously not available. Too busy playing evil space pirates, and whatnot (can't wait to see her in Guardians of the Galaxy).
ReplyDeleteWell, she's definitely got the hair for it - and she has kind of a mermaid-y past, with that one Smallville episode...however, I don't think she's got the personality for the role.
ReplyDeleteRight, plus Hook was retrieving his hook from Gold's shop in that teaser, which he never did at any point on the show.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I think too!
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to seeing Belle in the leadership role; I know they're going to be emphasizing the Jolly Roger crew but I'm actually more interested in how things will develop in Storybrooke. Especially since I think they've criminally ignored the fact that there are probably still dozens more otherworldly exiles in that town, all with interesting stories and motivations.

ReplyDeleteI could get totally on board with ERW.....
ReplyDeleteAnna Torv would be better than RM, but still not great IMO...
Evan Rachel could be good, so could Debra Anne. But I would just squeal if they would get Anna Torv to don the red wig again! :D
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean, that could work too. I suppose a lot hangs on how they intend to write the character. :)
ReplyDeleteThat last theory is a little crazy... :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I want her to be a new character. They could lift her characterization right from the Little Mermaid film, and she'd still work perfectly in OUAT. Strip away all the commercialization of that movie, and you have a very compelling story with great characters that appeals to adults as well as kids.

ReplyDeleteDefinitely! If they decide to go "mean-girl" Ariel, I could maybe see a RM type... but I don't know. Anything Once I approach with a huge ammount of precaution.
ReplyDeleteMy real deep wish is that Torv will turn up as an evil android in Almost Human, so I wouldn't be hurt if she wasn't Areil.
ReplyDeleteOk, now that would be a MUCH better use of her talents....
ReplyDeleteMaybe she crossed to Storybrooke when the ship was crossing to Neverland. The 'wormhole' might be two-way. And I wonder if we see this scene in an episode?
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah, me too. OUAT has let me down, once too often. ;)
ReplyDeleteFINALLY!!
