Bite your tongue :) I am so tired of the reboots. No. Just no.

In one of Lana's interviews she says that Snow basically dares her for a fair fight, to not use her magic.Fourteenwords beat me to it.

This seems to be the best thread to post this tidbit of fun. POLL : Who are some of your favorite good looking men on television? http://www.spoilertv.com/2014/12/usd-poll-who-are-some-of-your-favorite.html?m=1

This is how it should be done! Keep it moving. No (few) lulls. Think of how much more story could have been told had the entire season had been written this way. ETA: Kudos to all of you from the spoiler thread for your very accurate predictions.

I thought that Jefferson's hat wasn't magical in and of itself. The way I remember it, the hat required magical objects placed into it in order to work. That was why we saw Regina use what bits of magic junk that she brought with her to SB to reach in and retrieve the poisoned apple from Misthaven (I like that name better than EF).

There are still many non-animal stories from the Brothers Grimm (and some where the animal can easily be changed to human, for example The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats). They briefly touched, ever so lightly, on The Spinner Sisters in one of Rumple's fairybacks. Others that I can think of are The Seven Ravens, Mother Hulda, and the Old Woman in the Wood.

I was thinking that they could have optioned the rights already and would use the show as a method of promoting the series, seeing as she's such a beloved Lost co-star. They could even tap her for that portion of the story to continue their love affair with the Lost cast on this show.

And now for something completely different....

Replied in the All Seasons thread, because that's where we are supposed to, it appears. I never knew what that thread was for. Now I do.

This reminds me of what happened with Veronica Mars. They were chugging along beautifully with a season long arc and single mysteries of the week leading up to the conclusion of the arc. Then they were swallowed up by the CW and TPTB there decided that was too confusing and that it restricted the show from gaining new viewers because they wouldn't be able to catch up and understand what was going on. So, the show runner did as the network bade and changed to the half season arc which ultimately pissed off existing viewers and preciptated the demise of the show.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the episode and I was glad to see all the wrap up of the major arcs. I am just ridiculously disappointed that they chose to grab at Frozen so quickly. They are clearly pandering on the popularity of that movie and I'm sure Disney had a hand in it too. I guess I should have seen it coming with the stuffed Mickey at the beginning.

Damn it! This amazing show has now officially jumped the shark.

Ava did the right thing. Cora had a chance to tell the truth and chose not to. What was with the disappearing door that was never noticed? I would have noticed if a door in my house vanished. Looks like Jane Epinson has been watching too much GoT regarding the twisted relationships of royals. Did baby Zelena create the tornado to get away from her horrible mother (and to avoid becoming dog food)? Baby Zelena needs to have a talk with grown-up Zelena.

I'm thinking this was after The Miller's Daughter.

Everyone keeps posting that Zelena wants the baby so it can be her saviour, but I keep coming back to what the show has said several times. She is looking for the one thing that Rumple most wanted, but could never have. To me that means that Zelena is looking for a true and loving family. Perhaps her goal is to weasel her way into the royal family. Or maybe to earn Regina's respect and love, then, once welcomed to the fold, she will be the baby's step-aunt. Also, I don't think she put anything in the OJ. It's just an old midwives trick (no pun intended). I am seeing the WoO tropes in Rumple being the scare crow and Charming as the cowardly lion, but I don't think Hook is the tin man. I see that role as being Zelena. Now, who's the Wizard who's Dorothy? I have my theory on that, but I'll save it for now.
