Souris

Whoops, thought I was in the SPOILERS thread, though it was just promo talk.

Z is for Zany, which the Spell of Shattered Sight turned out to be instead of affecting, devastating or deadly, as it had been led up to be. How about: Things We'd Like To See on Once.

The "best-laid plans" of mice and men.... Too bad Gus Gus got killed.

Yeah, I think it would be good to have one overarching name to tie it all together, then various "realms" within it.

I've actually mostly stopped reading Once fanfics. It was just making me even more disenchanted with the show, because so many of the fanfics were miles emotionally better and dealt with things the show never will.

Scott Nimerfro recently tweeted that he'd been assigned an episode. So we have that to "look forward" to.

4x16 title spoiler: Best Laid Plans.

I can't draw worth a darn, so I couldn't contribute in that way, but I could edit or throw out some ideas. If it's too much drawing for one person (because God knows there's a LOT to skewer), maybe there could be multiple contributors? Just throwing out some name ideas: Snarkily Ever After The Disenchanted Forest (I'm kind of partial to this one....) Once Upon a Woegina True Love's Diss Reginarama (based on that Lanarama site) Once's Fairy Fails Fractured Fairy Tales (heh, anybody remember those from Rocky & Bullwinkle?) The Perils of Queen Queen Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall, Who's the Lamest of Them All? (more a slogan, really....)

U is for Unhappy, which a lot of fans were after the 4A finale.

I never write strictly linearly. Things tend to come to me in chunks, not necessarily chronologically. It might be a scene, an image I want to describe, a plot point or a section of dialogue. I get those down, then I go back and "fill in the blanks," which generally takes more effort because I'm not as "inspired" by the connecting bits. And I tend to get in a "dialogue" or a "description" groove (or rut) -- one day all I can produce is dialogue, the next day only description and emotion. That's why it takes me so long; I have to even things out later.

I don't think anybody honestly expects them to show MUCH, given it airs Sunday at 8 p.m. Just some kissing and dialogue and a move toward a bed would be sufficient for intent, and wouldn't require any special hook dispensation. They've shown all the CS firsts before this. And hot on the heels of the lack of payoff with the Hook's heart storyline, it would be another big disappointment in quick succession.

A deserved meltdown, IMO. I fully expect it not to be on camera. SQ drinking shots was more important, you know.

It needs a catchy, memorable name. I'm not sure we'd have been nearly as successful if we'd called ourselves the Vartan Fans instead of the Vartan Hos. ;)

I think Emma is probably talking about the Author, but if it's Robin, I'm envisioning Maleficent putting him under a sleeping curse so that Regina can awaken him with the grandest, most romantic TLK in the history of TLKs. (Sorry, Snowing and Philora.) Meanwhile, CS still won't have had sex. Or we're left to guess whether or not they did offscreen.

That is going to take some serious doing, what with the show slapping you about the head with her awesomeness every five seconds. Memory spell?

N is for No payoff, which is what we got with the Hook's heart plot.

I is for the Ice wall.

Probably, so at least there's that. But it's definitely about the main characters, not the guest stars. Even if the ep is titled after Ursula's villain song. Uh huh. Yeah. Sure thing. Bite me, Adam. Just bite me. I'm so tired of the SQ fan placating/cultivating. Their BAs stir up several dramas this week. Again. And they get rewarded it for it. Again.

Some people seem to think all the pics of Lana w/ the villains indicate that Regina will go evil again. I think we can't be so lucky. She might be tempted or be "double-agenting" or something, but I cannot see the show jumping off their Saint Regina bandwagon. And I doubt Lana would be spoiling a development like that, anyway.

I saw a tumblr theory that Christina is playing a ghost in the video. It actually rather fits the pics we've seen.

Lana posted another pic of her with the Evil Trio with the caption "Evil Dream Team." They're filming Ursula's ep right now, 4x15. Judging by post-break spoilers about who's filming, it seems like this season is going exactly as we feared: Huge amounts of Evil Trio and Regina, very light on anybody else.

W is for the Wicked Witch, who chewed up a bunch of scenery and screentime in 3B.

T is for Time, which Emma and Hook traveled back in.

Lana posted a pic of her with "Maleficent" and "Cruella" with the caption "Evil has never looked better."

J is for the Jolly Roger, which took the Nevengers to Neverland in the beginning and which we discovered in the end that Hook gave up for a bean to get to Emma.
