Spoiler Discussion: The apple was poisoned?!


  • Start Topic

What they've been saying in the spoiler rooms could be gathered from the finale. Even casual watchers can figure it out. All we really know about that's new is the casting news, the 22-episode format, and the fact Archie is returning. Everything else is vague and inarticulate. 

 

Quote

“What’s funny is in the pilot if you watch when Emma sees the wolf that stops her from leaving town, the book flips open and we see all these worlds,” Kitsis says. “It’s time to tell new stories, broaden the show and move forward.” As for why these stories have not yet been told, Kitsis points to something Hyde said in the finale: “As he said, I need a place where these stories can play out, which would make me think for some reason they weren’t being played out, they were pushed on pause.”

It sounds like Land of Untold Stories is just Storybrooke 2.0.

What this means is that Emma will ultimately be responsible for bringing about the happy endings of the Land of Untold Stories now, which really does seem to be her purpose in life (being everyone's Savior).  She just doesn't know it yet.

The spoilers for Season 6 have been incredibly vague. Are they purposely not trying to spill the beans about the plot this year because they want to keep it a surprise, or is the story so meandering and open-ended that it's hard to pinpoint exactly what they want to spoil?

This is a clear case of "We have no idea, stop asking questions that are not about Regina and about how cool is the Evil Queen".

They're just pissy that everyone is asking about the stuff that is actually intriguing to ask about, i.e. untold stories, Hyde, Belle Box, and no one is asking about the stuff that THEY thought everyone would be all about, i.e. speshulest snowflake Evil Queen twins. Possibly Twitter was not the best sounding board for fan interest after all, guys. Shock and awe.

That sounds oddly like something a new showrunner brought in to take over the show and try to right a sinking ship would say, not like someone who's been in charge all along would say. They have this weird way of talking in interviews that makes it sound like they're not at all responsible for what happens on the show. There were these stories suggested in season one, and they haven't been told yet, so it's time to tell them now. We need to broaden our horizons and tell new stories (as though they haven't already brought in not only fairy tales, but 19th century science fiction in Frankenstein, 19th century children's stories with Wonderland characters, early 20th century British fiction with the Pan-related characters, 20th century American fiction with the Oz characters, and 21st century Disney/Pixar creations with Frozen and Merida). It's the way they talk about the future of the show -- parts that have actually already been written but that haven't aired -- in terms of "we'd be disappointed/surprised if that didn't happen."

Hmm, maybe the writing elves do write this show and they have no control over it.

My translation is that it's going to be more of the same, but drawing on stories they haven't used before, only without an overriding theme for the arc. How many of these stories will they burn through in one season by just namedropping characters without really delving into their stories?

I have yet to read one thing that interests me about this season. They need to start dropping some hints about what characters not named Regina or Random Guest Star #67 are going to be dealing with.

Basically, this was just an extremely convoluted way of saying the writers were bringing in a ton of new guest characters into the Show. They want their idea to sound deep instead of being straightforward about it. Typical Eddy.

At this point, all we really care about are the main characters. Not the guest stars or big-name franchises. There's absolutely nothing new going on for them beyond natural development. (No-duh things like Captain Swan getting closer, Rumple's ongoing Box Saga, etc.) The Untold Stories people are nothing we haven't seen before. New characters come to Storybrooke and do their thing. It's boring.

Agree not here for the guest stars or big-name franchises.  Gotta be honest though, I'm only here for SOME of the main characters not all!

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt since they just started filming and it's the middle of summer anyway. But if we get through Comic Con in two weeks with a whole lot of nothing much, I'm going to get worried.

Yes, we never get much before Comicon. Filming spoilers aren't usually too revealing until we have some context.

I have to say that those little pictures of Emma and Hook on the set got me through last night and provided a good distraction (I'm in Dallas. Last night was rough.).

I have the feeling they really want to gave a season 1 feeling and be more ensemble in the tiny bit new  thing they tease  and that  Emma's as savior have not been forgot like I was afread. ( the savior titre for the first episode and the Emma and co. have to help Untold citizen ...) 

That does give hope for this  season. All the EQ stuff seem more post final or use as  an example. She will have a big role but she always does.  Funny they seems to realize that the double EQ was not their big attention gimmick they thought.

So, if CS, the Charming Clan and Yes even Rumbelle can have a real intetesting storyline where the Untold story is use organically. 

I will be a happy camper, I am not  that hard to please.

I'm fairly wary of the this whole new season.  Once again, the focus is on Regina, I suppose coming to terms that she is both the evil queen and reformed Regina.  I feel like that's a small part of Emma's story though.  Yes, it was Regina's curse that forever altered Emma's life, but we've seen reformed Regina for 2 seasons now, do we need yet another reminder and set of flashbacks every episode to the Evil Queen vs. Snow years?  Last season was a real disappointment because there was so much build up with Emma and Hook and Darks Ones and then she literally went to hell for him and the pay off was he randomly got sent back by Zeus and a few kisses in the cemetery?

The title "The Savior" isn't giving me any hope either, the "Savior" this time will probably turn out to be Regina.

I did like the filming pics though, I guess at least we know some of who's in the first episode.

The problem with this story, IMO, is not that it's a Regina story (even though I don't enjoy her stories). It's that, once again like in season 4, Regina is gonna spend a whole season dealing with a "problem" that could be resolved if she got therapy and grew the hell up already. In S4, it was the stupid author/happy ending stuff, and she had to realize she needs to take charge of her own happy ending or whatever. Cool, but if you had realized it 20 episodes ago, all the fuckery with the author that brought so much maymen wouldn't have happened. And this season, Regina needs to realize that she's both Regina and the EQ, and once again her seeking magic solution for her mental problems brought a magical threat to town. Can we not?

Well some people wanted to women to raise a child together. I'm almost hoping this is it, because the writers do listen, except be careful what you wish for.

Well that would be a new development. Zelena and Regina haven't shown any desire to raise the child together. You could count the nod at the funeral, I suppose.

Sam Witwer and Lana.

Regina: "What the hell are you doing?"
Hyde: "Oh, just strutting around town. Chewing the scenery."
Regina: "If you're going to be here, let's get one thing straight - that's my job."
Evil Queen (walking up): "Actually, it's mine."
Hyde's heart goes aflutter at the sight of such gorgeous evilness.

So, far the episode seems Regina-heavy. Which makes sense to kick of yet another Regina arc, despite the name being "The Savior". If Emma is at all there, she'll be playing second-fiddle to Regina and walking on eggshells around her. 

It looks like it, but at the same time, it's because she posted a couple of pictures yesterday, and they are filming on location today. We don't know anything about Emma, Hook, Snowing other than that they filmed on Thursday, and we would know absolutely nothing about Rumple and Belle if the Leaf Lady hadn't posted about Bobby and Emilie being in studio on Friday. 

Tomorrow it's Steveston where I'm assuming most of the cast will be.

Honestly, I'm more annoyed that 4 days into filming, Lana is still wearing the same clothes she was when Regina got back from NYC. I get that the characters got back from NYC the following day, but annoyed as fuck that they decided to dump them into this new mess right away. What? No showers? No clothes change after a 7 hour car trip, and spending 2 days in the same clothes?

Little details like these make me angry.

Yep. I tend to dislike A&E's episodes anyways, so I don't have high expectations for this premiere. I'm going to be the Debbie Downer of the group and call that "The Savior" ends up being Regina, since A&E episodes tend to be Regina-centrics.

Maybe Regina sprayed a magical deo on herself. :-p

Hyde Queen is totally going to be a thing.

If Regina starts dating Jekyll and EQ starts dating Hyde, that might actually be interesting. It has more potential than Outlaw Queen because A&E would be more willing to explore what makes it odd. Jekyll and Regina can deal with having split personalities together.

Jekyll seems rather too ... tame to hold Regina's interest. 

I think the Jekyll/Hyde arc may end with Hyde being redeemed and subsuming Jekyll within himself. It can be explained away by saying Hyde injected the Jekyll-juice into his body, or whatever.

I don't see them giving Regina another love interest.

If they do, where would that person fall? Daniel was called her true love (although I'm more inclined to see him as her first love instead), Robin was called her soulmate. 

So there seems to be a lot more happening on set with everyone else showing up. Seems Hyde gets tossed in the squad car by David and Hook, and Emma may or may not have done something she wasn't supposed to.

Yay, I get a cookie! I said I wanted him to be a deputy so he could work alongside Charming! Bonus if he's wearing a sword! Hopefully it lasts more than one episode. Finally some spoilers I can can get excited about. :)

What exactly did Emma do that she wasn't suppose to?

Looking at the set pics here... https://mobile.twitter.com/Hookfoundme

Seems like Emma gets thrown to the ground. No idea what is happening, but there are some lovely photos of Colin's and Josh's backsides. :) They all seem to be enjoying themselves.

Nah, Hyde seems to be choking her. It's True Love. They need to get right on that. Perhaps a 20 minute walk. Or a bike ride. They'll be ready for a curse breaking kiss in no time.

Also, how exciting that Regina & Snow seem to be having yet another heart to heart. Why can't she have a chat with Granny or something and mix it up.  I feel like a Granny/Regina conversation/pep talk has the potential to be seriously awesome. Let the characters out of their interaction boxes.

Why do I have the feeling Regina/Snow will have more interactions and meaningful conversations together within the first two episodes of Season 6 than Emma/Snow have had over the past two years?

It's not exactly a feeling when it has been a fact since at least 3B.

I'm curious about the whole "what do you know? What aren't you saying?" bit from Emma to Hyde.

That's just a classic "OUAT Premiere Cryptic Line" to make it seem like there's a big mystery brewing, but they won't actually reveal the mystery until the Hyde-centric episode later on in the season. Kind of like Rumple's mysterious—but ultimately meaningless—forest conversations with the Ice Queen.

Yes, Probably just trying to sound like something big is about to be discover but at the end will be not such big deal at all but still I am intrigue for Hyde and the Untold story. 

In fact, yesterday pic did rise my interest so will see what today spoiler bring

Isn't Hyde magical? (Or magically super strong?) How the heck can they arrest him?

Hyde: "What? How did you catch me so quickly?!"
Charming: "We saw you strolling down Main Street in the middle of the road."
Hyde: "Damn! I didn't think my obvious villain strut would give away my location so easily!"
Hook: "Aye. They always think that."

I don't think he is magical, but he is supposed to be freakishly strong. We saw what he did to Hook with one hand. I wouldn't be surprised why he came to the party armed with a sword.

Emma looks to be aiming something at him, so maybe she incapacitates him, and it still takes 2 people to cuff him and put him in the squad car.

Also, it seems magic wands can be used just by about anyone, including non magical people (Robin to cure Marian, young!Regina, Hyde).

It depends on the wand, I believe. Emma needed magic to use the Black Fairy's Wand in 3x22. Though, that was because Emma's magic needed to tell it what to recreate.

I think Emma's using the same magical stun gun thing Snow used at the asylum in the finale. (Finally they're starting to use magical defense weapons. I've been saying this for years now.)
