Souris

I know! I just head-desked so hard when I saw the Regina answer. She should be pissed at pretty much EVERYBODY. All you listed, plus Will and Robin, as they robbed her castle and Will stole the mirror from her that he and Anastasia used to get to Wonderland.

Rumsy4 said about a podcast: OK, I simply do not understand how you can ship a couple and yet hate half of that couple. I know people do it, but I just don't get it. Why would you want a character you like to be with a character you hate? It does not compute with me.

Taking a reply to the Relationships thread.

TVGuide article: Great question, TVG. As for the answer? Total and complete bullshit alert! "Wrestle with," you say, Eddy? Yeah, that wrestling they do, it's one throwaway line from Charming that nobody even acknowledges he said. They wrestle with it for an entire seven words. Brutal, brutal discussion.

I know, I was like "JMo, noooooooooooooooooo! Not you, too!" Stabby, right in the chest. That interviewer sure did ask a lot of Regina questions; IMO, it's pretty rude to ask one actor about a different actor's character in an interview. Maybe one question, but not multiple ones. I do think she may have slipped up with that "both of them have hurt people with their magic" line. Because we haven't seen that on the show. So I think everybody who speculated that was her issue got it right. And, yeah, I was utterly shocked that the troll CGI wasn't godawful. (At least on my computer screen; who knows what it will be on a high-def 60-inch TV.)

JMo interview. ::headdesk:: with the Regina stuff.

The Frozen ones that spin from rock to troll and back again. It worked WAY better on Once than I thought it would.

Filming spoiler: I'm guessing not the EXACT trolls scene, but one set at the trolls' rock garden (there was one in the premiere with Pabbie).

I want to clarify that contrary to some previous spoilers, Robin doesn't actually full-out say he loves Regina. He says that his feelings for her are real. I think the "love" is perhaps implied, and certainly some viewers from the premiere event translated it that way, but the word is not actually said.

Shooting today: So, we know we have three sisters, and today we have the Snow Queen, possibly Anna/Elsa's mom, and the other daughter they put out a casting call for (Sally Pressman). So I'm thinking the Snow Queen is indeed Elsa's aunt, as some had speculated.

I wasn't quite sure where to put this, but this seemed like maybe the best place, since something might be considered a vague spoiler. A friend of mine also watched the premiere ep. He had seen a few eps in Season 1 but hadn't kept up with the show, so his reactions of trying to figure out what was going on amused me. It was difficult explaining things, because once you get past "Fairy-tale characters in our world," it gets hella convoluted. He was really confused by some things, but unexpectedly on-point about others. A few of his comments: "Are all the dwarves there? ... Grumpy seems to be a scene-stealer." "Why is Belle with Rumplestiltskin? There's a Belle but no Beast? Wait a minute, he's the Beast, too?" "Hook's the one you like, right? And that's the guy dressed like a pirate chasing after the main girl?" (Me: "Yes, Captain Hook is the guy dressed like a PIRATE.") "So the Mirror is also a guy?" "And that other guy was Robin Hood? ::sighs:: I've really lost the thread of this show."

Nevermind.

Henry in the suit is freaking me out a little. Wait, is this the ep when "Lily" is supposed to first appear?

I once had a VERY detailed spoilery X-Files post of mine on a private e-mail group lifted and published on Ain't It Cool News. That really pissed me off. So one picture? Eh, whatever, I knew it would. But thank you for the anger on my behalf! I wonder if Emma's magic is supposed to have caused that hole in the wall or if the Snow Queen did it.

I enjoyed the premiere, mostly for the "Frozen" stuff. If you're not familiar with the movie or didn't care for it, you might like the premiere less. The ep went fast. I felt like there was very little CS in the premiere, honestly. Then again, I always want 35 of the show's 42-minute run time to be CS, LOL. Sorry, sharky, no more kiss pics. I don't want to go overboard and poke the Mouse House with too big a stick. ABC even put a link to our Alias website on the official site back in the day, and we had all sorts of their copyrighted stuff on there, but more would make me too nervous. I wouldn't even have done that one except for the fact they already showed the ep for some fans at the premiere. Given how clumsy Anna is in the movie, I worry she'll impale Charming! (And yes, Rumsy, my follower count just ballooned, LOL.)

I didn't even think about doing a separate post for the pic, but I went ahead at your request! :) Yes, the kiss illustrates that whole "your mileage may vary" thing. It's nowhere near as long as their other kisses, though. (Unless you count the failed TLK in New York.) In terms of Regina, I think people are going to see what they generally see when it comes to Regina; in other words, YMMV!

I was able to see the premiere ep today, and if you're interested, you can read my thoughts here. I thought it was a bit too long to post the whole thing here. And the Disney song is an instrumental version of "Tale as Old as Time" from "Beauty & the Beast" during the Rumbelle dance scene.

Elizabeth Mitchell is now on set.

Elsa seemed to learn to control her powers by the end of the movie. Maybe it doesn't work all the time, but she definitely has experience to relate to Emma. Filming pics.

TVLine spoilers: Question: Do we know yet who Sally Pressman is playing on Once Upon a Time? She has to be Elsa and Anna’s mom, right? —Deirdre Ausiello: Maybe. Maybe not. The Once creators were mum on Pressman’s role at the L.A. premiere party, largely because she’s part of “a storyline that has never been introduced,” Eddy Kitsis explained. Added Adam Horowitz: “Out of context, we could tell you her [character’s] name, but it might confuse you. You’d be like, ‘So…?’” Question: On Once Upon a Time, will Queen Elsa get a chance to bond much with another magical, emotionally closed off, formerly lonely woman who just got her family back (AKA Emma Swan)? —Robert Ausiello: Elsa will actually play a very important role in Emma’s life, especially with regard to magic. Explains Jennifer Morrison: “Elsa’s definitely helpful in terms of her starting to figure out ways to focus her power, control her power and try to use it as effectively as possible.”

One fan's try at a transcription of the video.

Pic from filming. If Emma runs off a la Elsa, it had damn well better not be Regina who goes after her a la Anna. I have horrid thoughts about that Emma/Regina ep that A&E mentioned.

No clue, but the Reddit chat did get canceled at the last minute with no real explanation. It certainly wouldn't be the first time a musical collaboration didn't work out. Honestly, I think the ones that DO work out are more the exception!

I think that's a camera with a protective cover bag. Maybe it's drizzling there.

Video of filming. Hmm. Looks like the whole gang run toward the station (including Hook, so it's not a jailbreak), and at the end of the scene Emma runs off. Interesting. I think she must cause the explosion and the light pole coming down, possibly hurting David, and it freaks her out and she runs off. I hear MM yelling "It's OK!" at her.
