Souris

I is for Impersonation, which is what Regina did of Ursula to trick Ariel ... and Ursula wasn't too happy about it.

Hate and death threats? Yikes! And yet sadly I am not surprised, because I've seen such things in this fandom too often before. (Once is of course too often.) I hope you reported those!

This ep was why I could never, ever ship Emma with Neal. He was so belittling and rude to her when they met again, utterly dismissing and laughing off her pain over him leaving her. Asshat.

F is for the Fish whose head Eric was cutting off violently when Ariel found him in Storybrooke.

I'll just be over here sobbing over Hook's goodbye.

If you'd like the recipe, I can send it to you. I make it less sweet than the recipe calls for, since sweet potatoes are, well, pretty sweet already! We're about to watch "Maleficent." I never got around to seeing it in theaters.

W is for the Wedding of Snow and Charming that Regina interrupted to threaten them.

I love it too! It wouldn't be Thanksgiving or Christmas for me without the family sweet potato casserole. We do a pecan streusel topping instead of marshmallows (as a vegetarian, I can't eat marshmallows, and I like streusel better anyway).

I love Snow throwing Regina through the glass door -- hells yeah! But like RadioGirl27, I'm already cringing about the prostrate, weeping apologies that Snow will deliver to Regina forevermore after that. I wonder if Henry is specifically aiming his prank at Hook or just whoever walks through the door first. And I also wonder what Hook is doing in the Mayor's office in the first place.

Happy Turkey Day! (Or Tofurky Day, for any fellow vegetarians.) I made a sweet potato casserole and pumpkin-cranberry cake this evening.

And now I guess Lana is getting hate on Twitter from SQ fans because of a TV Guide interview where she said Regina & Robin are true love and she hopes they end up together. She posted "To #SwanQueen & #OutlawQueen Fans - Let's all continue to enjoy the creative narrative of the writers & root for all ships! #HOPE4ALL #NOH8" and then posted a link to her AfterEllen interview again. Honestly not sure what that latter move was meant to convey.

So the camera will be trained on Regina at all times? In other Regina-related news, Christie Laing posted a pic of the apple tree on Instagram. And more Regina, this an interview with Lana from ET.

Looks like they're still counting/numbering the two-hour ep as just one ep.

R is for Rumplestiltskin, who is particularly evil at the moment, and Regina, who was really evil but now it depends on the day.

Jane Espenson is currently getting a ton of really ugly hate on her Twitter from SQ fans railing about "Adultery Queen." She's being remarkably calm and reasonable about it.

O is for Opening a time portal, which was Zelena's nefarious plot.

It's a manip. I came across it just a bit ago and it was marked as such, though not especially clearly. In the full-frame pic of Hook & Emma kissing, you can clearly see the reflection of a guy holding a boom mike in the lower right corner. Oops!

I was thinking about the snow falling in the street that seems to be what breaks people out of the Shattered Sight spell. I wonder if that is a result of DQ dying? Her death could also unfreeze Marian. So that would happen in ep 10. Maybe she's so upset that Elsa and Emma bring Anna back that she poofs into snow, LOL. And yes, Sven must be OK!

I'm guessing that the Elsa/Anna portions of the Frozenbacks (the day before Anna/Kristoff's) wedding took place shortly before George came to get David to impersonate James. Then Elsa ended up urned and Arendelle frozen right before "Snow Falls," for the urn to be in Rumple's dungeon at the time of Captain Swan's time-traveling jaunt. Unless they're saying that Arendelle was affected by the first curse, then they had to stay frozen throughout the curse. Which doesn't explain why Hans' brothers don't look 30 years older, unless they were in Arendelle and frozen, too. Or, possibly and sadly more likely, the show just doesn't care about that problem.

Welp, looks like the Blackbeard/Hans/Kristoff/Anna spoilers panned out. I'm LMAO at Mario Van Peebles (the director) wearing a pirate hat. Sniffle at Emma crying. I wonder if they'll lock Snow & Snowflake in the jail cell to protect the baby? Though clearly they get out at some point before the reunion.

A Tumblr filming tidbit about Sunday's ep, dealing with Blackbeard I would imagine: I was just texting with the Ann(e)’s and this was the episode they were also filming on the Jolly Roger. We physically saw them filming on it at the studio in Van while we were there. They were filming it against a green screen so I’m assuming they will CG the paint to make it look like a different ship. We don’t know who was filming on it, we just saw them doing it

Tyler Jacob Moore made some wonderfully awful spoilery puns on Twitter: Happy early Thanksgiving! You might be able to say you"s-thaw"me on @OnceABC if you tune in this Sunday 8/7C... I'm"ARRGH!-ready"excited! ;) Seems like he may end up working/having a run-in with Blackbeard, I'd say.

I think you meant "salad trident." :)

I wonder if Blackbeard has anything to do with the chest in the ocean that Anna & Kristoff end up in? Will Hans be in flashback, or will he be unfrozen? Perhaps by his brothers somehow? Maybe they come to take over Arendelle and somehow unfreeze him, Anna and Kristoff, then send A&K off for Blackbeard to dispose of. Sven will lead the resistance fighters.

C is for Cora, who plotted to make her daughter a queen and killed her boyfriend, plus a village. Among other things.
