Is there a reason why Sean Maguire isn't a regular yet?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is Robin and Regina will be separated in season 4B. Marian is still frozen - as far as we know. The promo shows Elsa and Anna going back to Arendelle through the Apprentice's door. Most likely, they will have suggested that the trolls/grand-pappy may be able to undo the spell on Marian, which means Robin will have to go to Arendelle. He's bound to want Regina to go with him, but there's no way Regina will leave Henry behind - but I don't think she would ask him to go either, because that would leave him in the situation of having to choos, unless all the Charmings want to go too. That would also mean that, unlike Snow, Regina will put her child above her true love. Snow would always pick Charming.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to miss Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff...Could they do a Frozen spinoff?
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why they made the Knave a regular instead of Robin when Robin is a lot more important to the story than his drunk former merry man.
ReplyDeleteBelle flashback??? 2 in one halfseason. Something will go terribly wrong here.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see the 3 witches come to SB and their connection to the story amd characters.
They said that Will's story picks up in the second half of the season. I'm willing to have patience to wait for that since I love him (and Ana).
ReplyDeleteHoping Sean does become a regular though.
With Frozen Fever and Frozen 2 also in the works, I highly doubt it.
ReplyDeleteAbc has said aFrozen spinoff is a possibility
ReplyDelete"Will's story picks up in the second half of the season"
ReplyDeleteFINALLY!
I love your post.
ReplyDeleteRobin doesn't give a rat's ass about Marian, so it would be best if someone accidentally dropped her in her frozen form, lol
ReplyDeleteim miss elsa and anna they are so cute just like on film :(
ReplyDeleteSo i guess Rumple kidnaps Cruella and Ursula in the hat in the past?
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping everyone finds out about Hook's heart and how it will impact Emma.
i dont think a spin off is a good idea , remmember what happened with wonderland?
ReplyDeleteYes.But Paul Lee admitting to scheduling Wonderland wrong and Frozen is huge right now and it's helped Onces ratings so I think it'll happen and it'll do better than Winderland
ReplyDeleteThree villains all at once,this should be very interesting!Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteHow does Snow put Charming before her children she gave Emma up to give her best chance she also jump after Emma thru the hat when they went to present enchanted forest she also went to neverland to recuse Henry when could've stayed to help her people
ReplyDeletePlease read what I actually wrote. I didn't say that Snow does not love her children, of course she does, but she loves Charming THE MOST. That has actually been a recurring theme in the storylines and is also how Snow was able to cast the dark curse in season 3. Like Emma also pointed out when they all got their memories back.
ReplyDeleteI would think the Snow Queen's frozen spell over Marian would be broken once she sacrificed herself to break the Shattered Sight spell.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I was thinking that too at first. But somehow it just seems too easy. But perhaps you're right - she will wake up and then something else is wrong. She does seem destined to die having cheated death 2-3 times - Rumple did say the first time that you cannot cheat death.
ReplyDeleteMaybe what happens in the flashbacks is the reason why Cruella,Maleficient and Ursula go to Storybrooke.
ReplyDeleteSnow and Charming are ONE SOUL and one body and now they even share a heart. They are one and their love was is so powereful that their offspring has magical powers......The writers already suggested that Baby Neal is going to also have magical powers as well.....IT has nothing to do with loving Charming the MOST.....IT is who they are....
ReplyDeleteWhat about last night? Under the shattered sight curse they argued and Snow was all villiany, but as soon as Neal was threatened she went into mother mode. It's good she and Charming were separated, but even under the curse neither would have hurt Neal. So they could have kept the baby with one of them. It's not that she loves Charming more.
ReplyDeleteOUAT in Arendelle could be very cool, and this sort of sets up for it: Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff returning home to save Arendelle from Hans and his brothers. It'd be fun!
ReplyDeleteWell, this press release is utterly disappointing. I was expecting to see Archie and Aurora in this episode but nope. I'm not at all excited about the triumvirate of female villains, I just wanted Maleficent, I'm sure they'll take up so much focus and screentime. Also, Rumbelle flashback? In the winter finale? What is life? Well, I suppose we have had a Hook flashback (a very boring one) in a season finale before, sooo... Is this show just copying GoT's style of storytelling now by always doing climax episodes that close up the arc's main plot points and kills off the villains and then doing set-up finales? "Shattered Sight" kinda should have been the finale, I worry that "Heroes and Villains" might be subpar. It certainly looks it. So Cruella IS a witch? Sigh. Ursula looks awful. The bad kind of awful. And Maleficent, of course, just looks like the Angelina Jolie version now. Bet they'll steal the movie's story too (not that I ever finished watching that crap). Can you tell I'm sour today? Odd, seeing as how I enjoyed "Shattered Sight" so much.
ReplyDeleteHe can't have used the hat on them in the past. Rumple only had the hat for about 2 minutes before Anna (with the help of the dagger) made him give it back to her. Rumple never got the hat in the past again -- which is why he was so surprised to see it mysteriously turn up at that mansion.
ReplyDeleteI just hope Hook lives for my sanity! Oh... and for Emma's too, lol. If he doesn't, there is no way in hell that I am gonna sit there and watch freaking Cruella DeVille in the second half, it's beyond silly.
ReplyDeleteRecent BTS pics clearly shows that hook has survived.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't get how Maguire isn't a regular but Michael Socha is.
ReplyDeleteYay! I guess I will have to watch Cruella then... she shouldn't be too dangerous as long as there are no dalmatian puppies around though, lol.
ReplyDeleteMaleficent wants to get her mirror back?
ReplyDeleteIf Belle finds a puppy dalmatian in the Enchante Forest, IT CAN'T BE A COINCIDENCE.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the three ladies *w* Hopefully Ursula will have her tentacles.
I NEED to know what happened with him and Ana, and why he doesn't seem to be in a rush to find a way back home.
ReplyDeleteI hope they don't get separated. I never liked the Marian character, so was glad when she got frozen.
ReplyDeleteExactly, we see more of Robin Hood than we do of Will.
ReplyDeleteI will not miss seeing Elsa in the same evening gown over and over and over. But I did enjoy Anna lol she was a hoot. It seems this ep might be boring though not exciting.
ReplyDeleteOnce more I'm confused about a promo and press release. Why? Belle's and Rumplestiltskin flashback: in the promo, the cape Belle is wearing. She only was 2x on the way while she lived with Rumplestiltksin and in this cape: one in 2x19 Lacey (Robin Hood) and the other one in 1x12 Skin Deep. In Skin Deep he sent her away to "fetch" some straw and Rumplestiltskin was sure she would never come back. On the way, she met the Evil Queen and Regina told her about "every curse can be broken". In the promo she is sitting in a carriage, when she sees puppy Pongo, then we can see the "perhaps-kidnapping". So was this the moment after the kiss/Rumplestilskin cast her out?
ReplyDeleteHope they do not the same "mistake" in the timeline as they have done with the curtains in 4x07: they were open/no curtains. And Belle removed the curtains in Skin Deep. Ingrid and her sisters but made the visit before Belle went to Rumplestiltskin, made her sacrifice.
Really hope, make sense, what they tell about Belle and Rumplestiltskin in the Enchanted Forest, after so great episodes in past seasons, especially Skin Deep.
Maybe, but i thought about "why the hell he is outside wonderland, again in Storybrooke?"
ReplyDeleteActually, he could. In s01e12, behind's Regina's back, he got it.

This isn't what Nordica was saying. Snow does love her children but she would choose to be with Charming. In the Neverland arc she told him she would stay with him in Neverland for the rest of their lifes and they knew that they wouldn't see Emma again. So she did choose Charming above her child once. And I agree that Regina at this point of the story is the best mother which sadly is not as much acknowlegded as it should be.
ReplyDeleteMe, too! I already love Cruella. Her outfit, her voice, her charisma. Now that the EQ seems to be finally gone (maybe she will reappear in flashbacks), the show needs a femme fatale again.
ReplyDeleteMe neither. I hope, they won't dare to switch the actor for Robin again and the show would not make sense if they killed him off because Regina is destined to be with him. So there is no reason for Sean not being a regular.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Regina and Robin are destined to be together. She show cannot break them up because it would make no sense. But like every true loves couple on OUAT they have to face a few obstacles before they can be happily together.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea that Robin will have to leave for Arendelle. I did not think about this possibility.
think, is a mistake from the "creators/producers". Rumplestiltskin really had the hat only for about 2 minutes in his hand. Same mistake they've done with the open curtains in 4x07 or Carlyle wore his real wedding ring in 1x16
ReplyDeleteHe could take it again from the apprentice.
ReplyDeleteDon't think so. Because in 4x8B, he says to Ingrid, that he wants the hat back for the urn (a urn for a hat), which was stolen by her nice. Then he has seen again only in 4x01 "honeymoon". If you've the DVD, watch 1x12 with audio commentar, there he laughs and says: do you see the hat, Micky Mouse hat?
ReplyDelete"Don't think so." ≠ facts. Dark One had it in his palace.
ReplyDeleteSeems. But can be the same mistake as the curtains. Future will show, I can wait, but hope will be a credible answer, why the hat was there, although Anna had it, or only Disney wanted it there like the Mickey phone in Gold's shop
ReplyDeleteyes u right but if they make a seasons with 13 eps will be better that 22 ep
ReplyDeleteWhich is funny because pretty much every single pairing on the show is supposed to be like this. The only characters who have had the term 'soul mates' used is Robin and Regina. Plus, they are very obviously not one body, metaphorically or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, she chooses Charming over her children constantly. She was willing to let Neal die to save Charming. That's horrible. I wish it had been brought up during the Shattered Sight curse.
Staying with Charming in Neverland, sending Emma alone through a portal as a newborn, risking her own death and baby Neal's so she could be with Charming. That kind of stuff. Plus, if you bring up rescuing Henry, she actually got in the way and tried to prevent them saving him if it didn't meet her standards at least once.
ReplyDeleteIt was kinda weird seeing her in it all the time, you'd think Emma would offer her some spare clothes so that she could wash that dress at least once, lol.
ReplyDeleteThen again, I guess Hook did pretty much wore the same outfit over and over for several seasons in a row until recently. At least his had some subtle changes every once and awhile that made it seem as though he liked clean clothes. As he told Henry, he does bathe quite frequently! :p
I totally agree. I loved the Frozen story arc, and will really miss Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff.
