Souris

I would just say, "Thank you so much for that idea, but it's just not an idea that speaks to me and my muse." You're in no way beholden to write something you don't care to. Ain't nobody got time for that. Frankly, if somebody is sending prompts that clearly aren't in your wheelhouse, they're not paying attention to your likes.

That is the Once way.

The SQ pandering keeps getting worse and worse, and with writers like Nimerfro & Espenson fighting for it in the writers' room, at this point I wouldn't even be surprised if they actually change their plan and do SQ. I really wouldn't. They're pushing Emma/Regina HARD as the main relationship in 4B. Not just talking about it but filming it as well.

It's what the show does all in all. The writers push down the heroes to create "balance." Which is BS.

"How fast can we knock this out before we move on to shows we actually care about?"

Holy freaking crap. That IS the 4B plot!

If they run into Lily in NYC, I could see this SQ road trip lasting the rest of the season, since Lily is on for 3 eps. Won't that be a treat? Then they come back to find the town empty or something. Cliffhanger.

ABC doesn't physically send out screeners anymore; it's all streaming now, and they haven't sent out a link. They sent out the season premiere less than a week beforehand. Will, Belle and Rumple filming pics.

Their spoilers are from the scenes they view being filmed, so I consider them legit spoilers.

I'm sure they'll come up with some magical reason so Regina can leave. Maybe the Evil Trio break the spell to come in. Or just because she's Regina and special that way. Rules don't apply to her.

Kill. Me. Now. It's going to be 4x05 all over again. Nothing but SQ pandering. SQ goes on a trip together! True Love! I'm utterly disgusted.

I don't think Once could successfully reboot itself, because it's still these showrunners and writers. They would have to get new showrunners to do it well. A&E have shown they can't handle it well.

Obviously if she's a villain, it's completely Emma's fault. How DARE Emma not take kindly to being lied to?

Wouldn't it be nice if there were an ep called "Emma"?

I think some of these posts should be in other topics. I don't want this topic to get closed!

I agree. I think by the end of 4B, it's going to be pretty bad.

I feel like Michael Socha's contract could have been used to !

Jane Espenson tweeted that she's working on the 3rd-to-last ep of the season.

It sounds like Julianne Moore is considered such a total lock for Best Actress, nobody is even talking about that race.

I was thinking 1.9 to start, then down. I could see it going 1.4, 1.5.

Does anybody have any strong feelings about the Oscar races? Of the movies with major nominations, I've only seen The Imitation Game, The Theory of Everything, Boyhood and Gone Girl. Of those, I liked The Theory of Everything the best. I haven't seen Michael Keaton in Birdman, but I thought Eddie Redmayne was fabulous in ToE. He had so much to deal with physically as well as ACTING. I spent most of Boyhood being freaked out about how much the kid looked like a mini Ethan Hawke.

I wonder if we should do a pool for the ratings for 4x12?

And Regina did impersonate Ursula. That means she really loves her! And Ursula threatened Regina over it. That means she loves her too!

Seems like having a baby is the perfect excuse to get MORE Disney merchandise.

I'm still wishing for a Cruella-Ursula romance.
