Souris

I thought this answer on Twitter by Jane Espenson was interesting. Wonder what changed? The Red Rose ‏@Ouatlover4everr 23m23 minutes ago @JaneEspenson Hi, sorry 2 bother again! May i ask a question? What was the hardest Ouat episode to write? And Why? :)) Jane Espenson ‏@JaneEspenson @Ouatlover4everr For me, Ep 313 -- Witch Hunt. I was pressed for time and there was a change in the story during the writing. She also said she's co-writing an ep with Kalinda Vasquez.

I could see Ursula surviving but ending up back in FairyTale land somehow. If she is a goddess or sort of one, that would up her survival chances, I'd think.

What happens if two villains' Happy Endings conflict?

And he retweeted Adam's tweet about it. ::prays to the sea gods::

He said he wasn't there when his crew ventured into Echo Cave, he'd only heard about it -- I suppose from the survivors. All very interesting and ITA!

Watch Hook have NOTHING to do with the Ursula/Poseidon/Ariel story. He'll be tied to Cruella or something stupid. I will not be responsible for my actions in that case. I won't believe they do anything with Hook's father/past until I actually see it. A&E are the boys who cried wolf at this point.

I would hope TPTB at ABC are smart enough to realize what went wrong. WE see it quite clearly. If they do, it's a matter of whether they care to convey that to A&E or whether they have too much else to worry about on their schedule to bother.

"Monster."

Oh, that's pretty much a warm hug on in the Once fandom on Twitter! ;)

According to Christina, the video is wrapped. And here's an adorable pic courtesy of the guy who's apparently responsible for the scarf. :)

I have decided that William Shatner has the viewing tastes of a 12-year-old.

I remember A&E actually saying in some article that August is NOT the author.

TVLine says multiple eps for August.

How would somebody at your work even know if they were "canoodling"? It always sucks when a celeb you like does something less than stellar. It's a very understandable reaction to be disappointed. It's SO easy to put celebs on a pedestal, since we see so little of their real life and we want to believe the best of them. Mostly what we see is what they want to put out there, though things have changed a bit with so much social media and paparazzi. I try really hard not have expectations of their true personality and behavior, and simply enjoy their work. Doesn't always work 100%, but I try! But, yeah, even if it's actually remotely true, I'm sure it's for the video. Or somebody's take on the pics she's posted.

Hahahahahahahaha! Realistic reactions do not happen on this show. She doesn't care that she watched Regina burn her mother alive. She'll probably call August a hero and beg him to be her friend, too.

I would "like" Shanna Marie and RadioGirl27's posts 137 times if I could. The Brothers Dimm indeed. It's really shameful how badly they handled things on the CS front in the finale and how easily and quickly it could have been improved 1,000% by somebody with a modicum of talent at emotional resonance and telling a story. It wouldn't have taken much at all, just the teeniest bit of effort and willingness to make it make emotional sense. I see other shows handle much more taxing plots, relationships and emotions miles better. It's not rocket science. God, I wish I could script-doctor this show!

Resounding MEH on August. I'd rather see Ruby or Mulan. Maybe they need to know something he knows and freed Blue is able to re-age him for a time so they can ask him. Maybe he stumbled across Cruella or Ursula in the Land Without Magic. Maybe they all hung out in Thailand. I don't want "much more" of Snowing and Regina before the curse. We have beaten that horse til it's glue. I think they've totally misconstrued what people want to see. People were complaining about the focus on guest stars, so they decided to "focus on the core characters" -- by showing more of a time period they've already shown extensively. Instead of, you know, dealing with the characters' current circumstances and emotions. They are so clueless.

HBO announced that they're no longer going to verify/worry about Live + Same Day ratings. Not too surprising given they don't have to worry about advertisers.

It definitely has. Bless Christina for living the fangirl dream and sharing it with us. Bustle has picked up on the video and written an article about it.

I saw that, too. It made me very, very sad, because it's true. He doesn't have anyone from his past unless one counts Smee, and Hook doesn't seem overly fond of him. He doesn't even have his ship/home anymore. I think a lot of people are hoping that Hook and Will will eventually become mates.

From the Hook thread. Next to no Emma, either. According to this, JMo filmed only one day on 4x14 and the ep is mostly Regina and Maleficent. I am SO SICK of A&E muddying the heroes to make Regina look better. And when they do, it's always some ridiculous false equivalency like little Snow telling a secret is as bad as murder. Maybe Snowing contemplated teaming up with the Evil Trio to take down Regina, but ultimately decided that was simply exchanging one evil for another. Or, you know, they didn't say "Excuse me" when they bumped Maleficent in the marketplace, which is the Most Vile and Evil Act that anyone could ever do.

This is a lovely fic mostly about Hook & Belle bonding and dealing with what happened with Rumple.

Yeah, I think a S5 of Once is a given unless 4B utterly craters. And even if that happens, I think it'd still be renewed. ABC is doing so terribly with every drama not done by Shonda, that Once is nowhere near the top of its list of problems. Even with its falling ratings, Once is one of ABC's bigger hits! But I think S5 could easily and likely be the last if ratings continue to flag -- especially if the cast's contracts are up at the end of S5 and many either don't renew or want a raise.

She seems to be calling them the #Squidsquad today, LOL. God, yes, I want the Jabberwocky to show up! And not be played for laughs like the stupid Spell of Shattered Sight.

F is for Frankenwolf, which seemed like it was going somewhere, then nothing. Much like Ruby's role. I'm gonna cheat and do two. G is for Graham being murdered by Regina, who suffered zero consequences.
