Souris

I think there's one dreamcatcher per person who went to Camelot, and they contain their memories. At NYCC, A&E (can't remember which) said that someone's loved one's heart was crushed for the curse. EW is the only media outlet that specified that EMMA would crush someone's heart. I suspect that Natalie Abrams may have leaped to a conclusion there, unless she was told something else personally.

I guess you missed the season finale last season.

Half-hour breakdown. 8:00 p.m. ABC – Once Upon a Time Viewers: 5.34 million (#3), A18-49: 1.6/ 5 (#3) CBS – 60 Minutes Viewers: 14.58 million (#2), A18-49: 2.4/ 7 (#2) NBC – Football in America (part three) Viewers: 14.62 million (#1), A18-49: 5.1/16 (#1) Fox – The Simpsons Viewers: 3.29 million (#4), A18-49: 1.5/ 5 (#4) ———- 8:30 p.m. ABC – Once Upon a Time Viewers: 5.09 million (#3), A18-49: 1.6/ 4 (#3) CBS – Madam Secretary Viewers: 11.47 million (#2), A18-49: 1.6/ 5 (#2) NBC – Sunday Night Football (San Francisco 49ers at New York Giants) Viewers: 18.16 million (#1), A18-49: 6.5/19 (#1) Fox – Brooklyn Nine-Nine Viewers: 2.73 million (#4), A18-49: 1.3/ 4 (#4) -- An in-ep drop is never good, but it was more for overall than 18-49. Once is still doing OK -- not great, but not dire. Blood & Oil is gonna be canceled sooner rather than later. Those 18-49 numbers are OUCH. The Walking Dead's return really affected it.

Preliminary ratings. A bit of a drop.

COLIN IN A KILT, Y'ALL!

COLIN IN A KILT Y'ALL!!!

Another live-blogger.

Honestly, if Colin's not on-screen, I'm not interested. If they take him off the canvas permanently -- or for awhile -- I'll tune out. And I don't even want to imagine the distress and flame wars in the fandom if they kill off Hook or even just make it look like they did.

They didn't say anything. Things do get bumped all the time on talk shows, but it's annoying.

GMA bumped the Once set visit segment. Didn't show it at all. I wonder if they'll show it next week or just never show it?

OK, I’ve been holding on to this idea since the CS movie: the idea that Emma will have to travel to the Underworld to bring Hook back from the dead/purgatory. And that Hook's father is Davy Jones/Charon. What triggered it was Hook’s line about following Emma to the end of the world or time, but not being sure if she’d do the same. Well, what is more the end of time than death? And what is Davy Jones’s Locker but basically a sea-faring version of the Underworld? When Charon showed up the last ep, I was like, “Holy crap! What if they actually do it on the show???” Hook’s father could be the OUAT version of Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean, tasked with ferrying the dead to the Underworld – basically, Charon. Andrew Chambliss even tweeted "Who's in the boat?" during his live-tweet of the ep, bringing more attention to him. I always planned to do a long fic where Emma has to go after Hook and bring him back from the Underworld/Davy Jones’s Locker (but with a decidedly happier outcome than Orpheus and Eurydice). But of course I never found the time to do it, and now I guess the theory is all over the fandom. Serves my lazy ass right. But now I'm wondering if they may do this story but with Regina/Robin instead, since he was the one who the Fury tried to collect and I'm still not convinced the price won't come up again. Sean tweeted to Robert Carlyle the other day a tweet that intimated that Sean was in Scotland, but then deleted it soon after. That makes me think that Sean has a longish break from filming, if he took a trip to Scotland during it. Apparently Sean hasn't filmed since Monday. I swear, if they take my CS idea and make it about OQ, I will NOT be a happy camper.

Even if Little John were still a flying monkey, he would be a better option. The show still trying to have its cake & eat it, too, with Regina, presenting her as both The Bestest Savior Evah! and the Evil Queen.

What is this in reference to?

That was upsetting to watch, to see Dark Swan use Hook's love for her to manipulate him. He was in so much pain. Ouch.

They've been cagey, but I got the impression that they've hinted it won't be the full season. It sounded to me like at least part of the season will be Emma dealing with what she did as DS. Or that could be wishful thinking on my part.

Leaf Lady posted a pic from filming of his hook in a tree, as well as Colin with Liam from the same day as the others posted pics of them filming. I don't know how much he's been filming with them, or if there were separate filming groups or what. There was a spoiler from last night about Robert/Emilie filming with Lana, Gosh, Jmo, Colin and Jared at Regina's house.

I don't think anybody is going to be pulling Excalibur out of the stone in this ep. It seems more like an end-of-arc moment.

This theory on tumblr is pretty much like Serena's from earlier: The Dark One is basically tricking Emma into unifying the dagger & Excalibur. Since the dagger is what tethers the darkness to a person, unifying it with Excalibur could cause the darkness to untether and become Evil Flubber again. That could join with my theory about everybody then joining hands and taking on a piece of the darkness to dilute it. Also, it looks like Gold has woken up just in time for RB to suck up time in 5x10, ostensibly the winter finale.

Katmtan: So, heard Robert and Emilie filmed today! Guessing Mr. Gold is finally awake from coma.

WHOA, would that be crazy hypocritical of Regina. So perfectly in character.

It's such a weird combination of characters filming!

I wonder if this weird group of Merida, Ruby, Mulan, Arthur, Wicked & Hook is on some sort of quest? Perhaps to get something to help Emma?

I had remembered the "full-on hero" tweet as being a lot earlier, but it was Sept. 25. So now I think you're probably right. Brigitte followed up the "it's not the winter finale" tweet with one that said "I could be wrong." So who knows! Even for CS, I don't want to see that plot point again! But his hook is pretty much a Chekhov's hook at this point, so I feel it will come up again somehow. Even on this show of dropping stuff like that. How do they get around Emma's heart not being able to be removed? Or could she remove it herself?

That made me laugh, too! The jury clerk said they called in 70 jurors today, and only 35 showed up. That's a really bad no-show rate! I lucked out in that this is an administrative week for the criminal court, so it was just civil court going on, and there was only one new trial scheduled to start. I think they must have settled.

They decided they didn't need any new jurors today and sent us home after a few hours. Yay! However, I managed to miss a step down near the courthouse and twisted my ankle, so I'm now sitting at home with an ice pack on it. The universe giveth, the universe taketh away.
