Souris

Michael Ausiello talked about Once briefly in his FB Live (starts about the 4:00 mark). I transcribed: "I think you know that Once Upon a Time is not a slam dunk for renewal, so a lot of rumors, reports going around about what a potential new season of Once Upon a Time would look like. It sounds like it would look vastly different. A lot of cast members’ contracts are up, it’s not clear who will be back, so we’re obviously keeping an eye on that."

Seriously, who effing cares about the Author???

That was because Comic Con was several weeks early that year. The Ginny thing doesn't prove anything, of course. I wouldn't blink an eye, really, if not for the S7 uncertainty.

It's ironic they'll use Jen and Colin to promote the show, but they won't give them scenes together. Jen and Colin will work together more on panels than on the actual show! It makes me roll my eyes. But it is also possible they're simply the most popular actors who aren't needed on-set much for that ep. I guess they'll be finishing 6x17 or just starting 6x18 during their appearance. That's within driving distance for me. Before 6A, I'd have jumped at the chance to go see them. The day pass for the Once panel day has already sold out.

I think that's a big part of why the Sunday shows have always had a big midseason break. So Ginny will be doing a play for the first couple weeks of Once filming, if there is a S7. I mean, it's not like Snow ever gets much screentime, but it does make one go Hmmmm. Interesting article about ratings in the first half of this TV season.

I think it's probably going to be a short stint in a dream like was speculated above.

Ugh, that original script line. A&E are so very bad.

I believe they just started 17 or are about to. Adam usually posts the title when it starts filming or is about to. He posted the 17 title on Wednesday.

Was just told that apparently Jen mentioned it in context of working on some music with her sister. Now I vaguely remember that. Maybe Julia will help with the music or something.

Oh, I didn't know she had! Did she mention it?

Just saw "Hidden Figures." It was the uplifting movie I wanted "La La Land" to be. And I LOVED that there were two rows of tween girls in front of us for it.

You know, I was just thinking last night that it's odd that Jane Espenson hasn't written an ep for 6B so far. I would not be surprised if she's been writing the musical ep, since she has the Buffy experience. Never mind, I forgot she co-wrote 6x12 with Jerome Schwartz.

Because A&E aren't talented or creative enough to make it happen.

It cannot be called a CS adventure if CS isn't on it together. Full stop. That was a deliberately misleading statement from Adam to make CSers think that CS was going on an adventure together and so stop complaining to him about the finale and 6A. But it's clearly a Hook adventure with guest stars and a separate Emma adventure with everybody else. Plus how do we even know it's about CS? We don't. Maybe Hook is off looking for some magical McGuffin to break Snowing's curse. Pretty sure A&E wrote him out of the main Savior story to pander to the SQers who want Hook removed from the show. There's zero reason to separate CS, when they've barely had any scenes together all season, except that A&E wanted to. I'm sure you'll be able to cut everything Hook does out of the show and it won't affect the flow of the story. They're basically segregating Hook completely from the main story; he's interacting with nobody but guest stars on a pointless multi-episode arc completely removed from the rest of the show. He'll come back with some magical McGuffin that could've easily been written to be found in Gold's shop instead, except they wanted Hook out of the way. I won't be surprised if he's out of Storybrooke for the entire rest of the season. It's like the Snowing curse. Yeah, it's technically about Snowing, but Snowing fans are PISSED and have every right to be, because Snow and David can never be in scenes together. This is after the A&E BS of the "Year of Snowing" that similarly raised Snowing fans' hopes only to be sorely disappointed. Fans want to see their OTP in scenes together, not separated. Who cares what they're doing if they never get to have scenes together?

I don't think there will be an engagement either -- the ring was just shipper bait with no follow-through on it. I think there would be a wedding if and only if they know like NOW the show isn't getting a seventh season. Eduardo Castro would need time to make a dress. (Assuming they don't just go with something off the rack since it'd be for Emma and not Regina, who gets bespoke.) And even if they knew now, it wouldn't be a given they'd have Emma & Hook get married in the end -- that would upset SQers and they can't have that.

It's because they don't care about Emma's relationships with anybody but Regina at this point. They could have easily had Emma & Hook or Emma & somebody else, but they didn't -- because they don't care. It is very odd to isolate Hook so much from every single other main character for such a long stretch of episodes. It could be they're simply catering to the the anti-Hook SQers who say he's not needed, getting him out of the core story so they can simply fast-forward all his scenes. It's also possible (but not likely) they're "testing" a future Hook spinoff following his adventures. In whatever case, it's weird. Somebody asked Adam on Twitter and he said no, they're NOT using that tribe name. So at least they're THAT aware. (Or more likely somebody told them.)

My goodness! Such originality and creativity from these writers! Honestly, do they simply take old scripts and scratch out the character names & add new ones?

Is that the first time a cheftestant has won RW as FOH? I remember thinking when Fabio didn't win that if Fabio couldn't win as FOH, nobody would ever win as FOH. I can't remember anybody winning as FOH after that, but I may be forgetting someone. I was hoping that somehow both John and Katsuji would get eliminated. (And that somehow Jim would be brought back.) Poor Silva, what an awful thing to have happen.

Two drama pilots ordered by ABC.

It definitely sounded like she just found out she was assigned that ep she had to turn around quickly.

That is an extremely good point about how the writing of the show has compartmentalized the fandom because of how horribly the stories are compartmentalized. They really did so many things wrong with this show that ended up hurting it.

Ep where Snowing curse is broken?

There's no real indication it's Neverland. There seems to be confusion about them being Lost Boys. Apparently they were adults, not kids, and they may have been Viking-ish instead.

Kid cast in upcoming ep. Young Gideon? Young David/James?

Oooh, can we get in some fat jokes, too? Score!! We're so hilarious.
