Souris

I think there was clearly some BTS animosity or something between Megan Ory and A&E, and that has affected their willingness to write Ruby back into the show even when Megan was available -- or her willingness to do it.

Lily is Emma's childhood friend we saw in flashbacks in the abysmal 4x05.

To be fair, Sunday nights are tanking as a whole. But Once certainly isn't helping itself, that's for sure.

Breakdown: 8:00 p.m. ABC – Once Upon a Time Viewers: 5.38 million (#2), A18-49: 1.7/ 6 (#2) ———- 8:30 p.m. ABC – Once Upon a Time Viewers: 5.40 million (#3), A18-49: 1.7/ 5 (#1t) Also, from ABC: Sunday Night (03/29/15) – ABC Total Viewer and Adult 18-49 Projections Once Upon a Time: Live + 3 = 7.7 million/2.3 rating and Live + 7 = 8.2 million/2.5 rating Once Upon a Time (8-9pm – 5.4 million and 1.7/5 in AD18-49): Spiking 54% over its lead-in at 8pm, ABC’s Once Upon a Time ranked #1 in its hour for the 5th week in a row in Adults 18-49 (1.7/5-tie). The ABC drama was on par with its week-ago Fast Affiliate Adult 18-49 rating (1.7/5 vs. 1.8/6). In addition, the ABC drama was up for the 2nd week with Women 18-34 (+5%) and also grew with Teens 12-17 (+8%).

Maybe because if there weren't any darkness in her heart, it would reject his Dark One juju? Also, perhaps Hook will protect Emma by jumping in front of her when Rumple is doing the spell/curse/whatever, so it ends up being him. Which I would kind of laugh at Rumple over, if it wouldn't be so annoying a development. Jeez, another cursed Hook body part! (Rumple: "I don't want THIS heart! Feh!" ::throws it on the ground::) That would be one way for them all to have to co-exist -- they couldn't kill Rumple if he was walking around with someone else's heart. I mean, you know they're gonna do something to angst up CS and keep them from a happy ending until the end of the show. I know, the concept is terrible, but I see putting it out there as reverse mojo, like maybe by voicing it then it won't happen. Plus I can't suffer alone with this stuff rattling around my head! Misery loves company. ;)

If Rumple is having heart problems, I bet he wants a heart transplant. And I bet he wants to somehow use Emma's. I think his plan is, instead of wanting to "darken her heart," he wants to "Dark One her heart."

LOL. Yeah, now whenever I screw up, I'm just gonna say, "The Author made me do it! Totally not my fault! Give me my happy ending!"

I'm guessing that fake script was actually indeed right about at least one detail, and that the all kinds of wacky that will ensue in the last two eps will be broken by an OQ TLK. I think that was said upthread, and I concur that will happen.

How the frell did August know all that about the author? Holy deus ex narration machina, Batman! This show is the worst-written show I've ever had the misfortune of falling in love with a ship on. It makes my brain hurt. Like, I think my brain is going to slither out of my nostril and slap me upside the head for watching it. I was hoping last week signaled an upswing in quality. Alas, no.

Fuck that, indeed. I absolutely expect them to say that the Author wrote all of Regina's bad deeds up until he was booked. After all, what point is there to him going rogue except that he wrote things that weren't supposed to happen? I hate this Author plot So. Freaking. Much. Yes, it is actually that terrible. Everybody was acting like an idiot. People were whispering deep, dark secrets three feet from other people. I lost a lot of brain cells watching that ep.

Sean just tweeted a pic of him and Colin at a soccer match. Colin's scruff looks less than usual, so I think the naval uniform spec may be correct!

K is for Killian/Emma Kisses.

That would explain some things.

At least Daniel wasn't a douche canoe.

Ha, she can hang with Princess Leia!

Sounds like all hell is gonna break loose.

I do not like August at all. I can never get past him conspiring to send Emma to jail. That was the most ridiculous, stupid plan. Then he stole the money that Neal intended for her to have when she got out. All he thought about was himself until he started turning to wood. I think he's a grade A douchenozzle, and I wanted Emma to slug him in the last ep. Emma needs more friends for sure, but I do not think August is friend-worthy. He's just another in the long line of people who screwed her over. But I'm sure the show will now treat him as heroic, just as they did with Neal. I hope they de-age August again, so maybe he can learn how to be an unselfish person this time around.

Yes, them lurking would be good.

I'm fine with the writers not coming here. They'd just bring the Twitter insanity here.

That's a great lineup. The Frozen trio, too! Interesting that Jen & Colin command the highest fee. If I were ungodly wealthy, I'd pay for a photo with Colin. But only at an ungodly level of wealth -- which I will never have access to barring a lottery win. Colin's also doing the convention in Rio June 27-28, so he'll be doing some traveling.

Jane Espenson tweeted that it's fake.

My guess is fake. If so, pretty shitty to implicate Agnes Bruckner in being careless or breaking confidentiality.

A Robin Hood ep written by Scott Nimerfro. If that doesn't get you excited, I don't know what will. ;) BTS pic of Hook on the Jolly.

It would be weird to have Cruella turn out to be Grace's mother without Jefferson being in the ep. I mean, they could do it, but it would lack a lot of oomph.

I've looked at that blog before, and I don't buy the vast bulk of it. For starters, I don't think A&E put a fraction of that amount of thought into anything. What is with this fandom's obsession with somebody being pregnant? Emma better NOT be pregnant, since we haven't even seen Hook & Emma have sex yet! I will be most put out if that is the case.
