I enjoy how even though we may be angry with the show for different reasons, we still have a collective understanding of why it's bad. Even if you love or hate certain characters, we can all soberly see things from the perspectives of others. You don't get that too often on the internet. I don't think I've done this before, so if I'm repeating myself, please forgive me. Here's my idea for what another Curse with fake personalities would play out. In essence, it would be a continuation of S1 with some holes filled in. David would have left town like he was going to in 1x22, without realizing he had gotten Mary Margaret pregnant. Emma and Mary Margaret would have raised Snowflake for a while, then David would return. Emma and Mayor Mills would settle on joint custody of Henry and become more like frenemies. (NOT friends.) Meanwhile, Killian would be a writer/blogger coming to town looking for inspiration in a scenic Maine town. He would move into what we would know as Emma's Victorian house. Regina's long-list sister, Zelena, would also come to town after her boyfriend left her with a baby. I figured if she had been the one taken advantage of in her memories, it would help her understand the weight of what she did to Robin and what happened to her mother. She would be an actual midwife, by the way. Edited February 16, 2017 by KingOfHearts Had to get Snowflake in there somehow 1 Link to comment
Curio February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 We went off on a non-spoilery tangent in the spoiler thread and realized something that has the potential to be really cool: What if the Black Fairy kills her son and becomes the new Dark One? What would a Dark One who is also a centuries-old fairy be like? If we get a Season 7, I hope they can lock down Jaime Murray because I'm beginning to like this idea. 2 Link to comment

KingOfHearts February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 (edited) I don't really care how Rumple dies, I just want it done. If he does some big sacrifice to redeem himself, I say more power to him. It wouldn't absolve him of his blatant crimes, but least Belle would be able to move on and Rumpbelle fans could get some promised satisfaction. It would be a nice way to meet halfway for those who think he could be heroic and those who just want him dead. If the writers wanted to give us absolute certainty that the Black Fairy is worse than Rumple, then having her kill him would be the best way to do it.

Camera One February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 (edited) Dear KingofHearts, Thank you for your idea. We were really stuck in the Writers' Room because we had already done the following combos: - a son kills their father x3 - a daughter kills the father - a daughter kills the mother - a father tries to kill the son - a stepmother almost kills a son - a sister kills a sister - a brother kills a brother - a husband kills a wife - a wife kills a husband - a stepmother tries to kill a stepdaughter x100000 - a girlfriend kills a boyfriend - a boyfriend leaves a girlfriend to die - an aunt tries to kill a niece - a grandfather tries to kill a grandson But we had forgotten that we still haven't done a mother killing a son!

Camera One February 26, 2017 Share February 26, 2017 (edited) People have been talking about the possibility of Emma leaving the show, and threatening to quit if that happened. But what if the new reworked show is called "Regina Upon the Jolly Roger". Synopsis: After Emma dies and Henry disappears, Regina and Hook sets off on a quest to find Henry. While finding old enemies who might have kidnapped Henry, they right a lot of wrongs that they had committed in their lives. On their journey, they are joined by an apprentice witch with a secret and an apprentice sailor with a secret past. As they travel from realm to realm, Regina and Hook find absolution... and perhaps their happily ever afters. From the creators of "Once Upon a Time" and "Dead of Summer" comes a story about an unlikely duo, tied together by the past and joined together for the future, in a world where their happy ending might be right in front of them.

PixiePaws1 March 9, 2017 Share March 9, 2017 All the references to the Ugly Duckling story and Emma's last scene of 6x11 is looking at the drawing of the swan....can see her last scene of the series reading the story to Baby Swan (-Jones)...but would prefer it be the story of the Princess and the Pirate. Either that or she's getting turned into a swan...that's my pet theory at the moment. 1 Link to comment
Curio March 11, 2017 Share March 11, 2017 Sometimes I like to go back through older posts and see how accurate we were at guessing things. And sometimes I hate when I'm right... On 9/12/2016 at 0:52 PM, Curio said: There could potentially be some really interesting character drama if the writers explored the everyday growing pains that come with introducing a new boyfriend into the family picture. Watching Emma, Henry, and Hook all living under the same roof; Emma and Hook learning about those small annoying habits that you only learn by living with someone; and Henry and Hook learning to deal with that weird line of being a friend vs. a father figure while living under the same roof could last the entire season. But of course this bores the writers to tears seeing as they didn't even want to go there with Robin/Henry/Regina/Roland, so at best we'll get a 1 minute comedic scene and the rest will happen off screen. I also found this gem: Quote I'm dreading the "small town stories" format for S6. Well, @KingOfHearts, I guess you didn't have to worry about it for long since they ditched the whole "Season 6 is going back to the Season 1 vibe where Emma rides around Storybrooke in her bug helping people" idea pretty quickly. Small town stories? Really, A&E? Is that what Agrabah, the Mirror World and the Wish Realm are? 3 Link to comment
Camera One March 11, 2017 Share March 11, 2017 (edited) Most misleading promo interviews EVER. What show did A&E think they were writing? Even Cinderella's evil stepmother trying to kill her is not exactly what I call a "small town story". Edited March 11, 2017 by Camera One Link to comment
Curio March 11, 2017 Share March 11, 2017 It's amazing how misleading all the summer interviews are in hindsight. The only thing A&E didn't lie about was the amount of Evil Queen focus we'd get. For everything else, it seems like something happened behind the scenes and they wiped all their original plans. Link to comment
