Souris

I'm afraid I think you're out of luck on the Robin front, FurryFury. I'm almost certain he'll be a regular next season.

Come on, we know what it means on this show. They'll share a sentence or two. Bless Colin's heart, he also said last week's was a great one. He's a loyal soldier, especially if it's about a friend. Nobody is going to call out Regina or blame her for what happens to Emma (which makes the THIRD time Snowing have lost their daughter because of Regina), because that's simply not allowed on this show. Or if by some miracle somebody actually does, it will be presented as they're in the wrong and poor Regina being blamed for something that's her fault, now please eat her lasagna. I'd fall down in a faint if they ever started having characters react realistically to Regina.

Do the clones have to be used only for singing? Yet another fan report. (BTW, check out her artwork, too -- it's amazing!)

Great fan report from last night.

Another fan pic.

I was going to do the favorites/least favorites game, but then I realized I was going to say pretty much the exact same things that Curio said. So, my answers are: What Curio said. With the exception of Neal being in the favorites category (but Bae can stay there, because I loved him and honestly, they're two completely different characters). Neal is the show's No. 2 underneath my all-time least favorite of any character on any TV show I've ever watched in the history of ever (and I've watched A LOT), unholy effing black hole of suck Regina.

Several videos here. The bottom two have the most Colin. Another pic with a fan. Audio of Colin solo.

Another short vid. And another. And he also cooks. Don't forget that. ;)

Heads-up: Pics and video of Colin performing with The Enemies tonight in Drogheda are in the Colin thread.

Video of Colin singing.

I can't be mad at either Emma or Snow, really, because it's all a result of bad writing, crappy characterization and Snow-muddying simply to make the villains look better.

Really nice pic of the Tumblr fan with Colin. I'd say keep checking the blog for pics over the next little bit.

Colin getting ready to play in Drogheda.

It started off kind of Meh, but I was really enjoying it by the end.

Which particular developments were those? I watched BtVS but was never in the fandom so don't know all the scuttlebutt.

Leave it to this show to make dalmatians the terrorizing heavies in their story with Cruella. We're getting a scene with Pongo begging Cruella for her friendship over Snausage shots, right?

Holy moly, YaddaYadda, that's scary and annoying!

Leanne at ETOnline teased another SQ tease tomorrow. Yippee.

Hmm, maybe I shouldn't amend my return then for the $17 that didn't affect my refund amount. I've already gotten my refund.

Castle has gone from a 2.2 demo rating to a 1.53 this season, and from 10.5 million viewers to 8.16 million. That's not an egregious drop for a show in its seventh season, but it's actually doing worse than Once. But ABC still wants to hang on to it, because it doesn't have a lot else that's not Once or on Thursday nights. A 1.5 is more of a sure bet than some random new show, which is always a crap shoot. I honestly think Once would have to utterly crater for ABC not to want a sixth season. Now, if they somehow hit the pilot lottery and bust out several "Empire"-size hits in the fall, plus Once's ratings tanking below 1.0, then maybe they'd end it with five. But that would have to happen really early in the season for the producers to know in time to wrap up the storylines, which is doubtful.

This isn't directly Once-related, but interesting and possibly illuminating about Once's longevity: ABC is potentially continuing Castle for another season without its female lead, its creator and an executive producer -- and definitely without its showrunner. So ABC is certainly willing to shake up a longtime show and continue without important people behind and in front of the camera. Stana Katic could still re-sign, but if I were a fan of the show, I'd be worried and cranky right now. Shades of The X-Files! If Nathan Fillion had a seven-year contract (which is what it sounds like, though I don't know any particulars and he could have lengthened it at some point along the way), I'm guessing the Once actors likely do, too. (Always with the possible exception of Robert Carlye, because he's RC.)

I feel you, Curio.

I hate the Author storyline SO FREAKING MUCH. There is not one good thing about it. I wish we could lock the writers in a room and make them listen to Shanna Marie.

Not to mention the fact that Snowing didn't REMEMBER casting the dark curse, so that's actually a case where it would have been better for them NOT to know. TS, TW.

This tax year was especially annoying. The day after I sent in my taxes two weeks ago, I got a new 1099 form from the state saying the first one they sent me was incorrect because they forgot to include the consumer use tax. It was $17 off and doesn't affect the amount of my refund, but now I guess I gotta do an amended tax return. I am SO pissed. !@#$%^&! At least I have three years to do it. I tried to do it Sunday, but my printer suddenly decided it wouldn't print out black despite having ink and you can't e-file an amended return.
