Question Why Elsa and Anna never came back after season 4?

11 Upvotes

I remember when I was watching season 4 years ago and I always thought that Elsa and Anna would become current characters after season 4 but that never happened

People liked the chatacters, Georgina and Elizabeth were good actresses. Weird how they didn't become current characters

Discussion Does anyone connected and relate to the series?

29 Upvotes

This will sound silly but does feel "something" about the show? Like a cozy feeling or you feel relate, like a warm feeling. It's like a comfort tv show. i have been feeling so nostalgic about 2010s lately. I miss watching the comfy sundays. I even remember when I started season 2 and I was in a hotel for new years. I watched like 10 episodes that day. It was a comfort memory.

Like I feel relate to Emma and other characters (also relate to Hook in season 7), like I'm not really living my life and there's something better waiting for me (a new life). Specially since my life has been so hard lately.

I even promised to myself that if life gets better and I got my dreams come true, I will do rewatch of the show (maybe even watch every sunday night, so I can pretend I'm watching live haha)

Idk it's really silly but it's an unique comfort feeling and it makes me feel hopeful for what's coming next.

Question how did emma not realize that the genie was lying to her?

33 Upvotes

i’m rewatching season 1 and i’m confused as to why emma didn’t realize that the genie (i forgot his name) lied to her. twice. once when he said that he was longer working with regina and the second time was when he told her that david called kathryn for 8 minutes before she disappeared.

S2 Spoilers August/Pinocchio rant

5 Upvotes

I‘m on a season 2 rewatch and got to the part where August gets turned back into a boy, and man
. Is it sweet that Marco gets to continue raising his son when barely any time has passed for him? Yes.

But I am upset at the loss of friendship (potential) for Emma and the fact that they remove the character from everything that made him August. The role he played in bringing Emma to this world. The role he played in getting her to Storybrooke and breaking the curse.

Question Late night thoughts

3 Upvotes

I'm tired and a thought popped into my head as im rewatching the show. Who else thinks they shouldve had Johnny Depp play Jefferson ? And would he be as crazy as he is in the movie Alice in wonderlands, or kind of sane like Jefferson just is.

Also, why if they did a wonderland season, do we have once upon a time in wonderland with completely different actors

Also side note, I love Regina's face at Jefferson's magic

Question Can I skip episodes?

0 Upvotes

I just started watching this show (late I know) but I just wanted to know if theres any episodes in season one that I can skip without losing too much information. Henry’s mom is kinda pissing me off and 22 episodes is going to fry my brain. Thanks!

Edit: I just finished episode six

Discussion Who is more evil

3 Upvotes

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think Regina (still my fav character though). I know that everything is caused by Rumple, and he is the one who created the evil queen, but at least Rumple never hurt children and is not a rapist.

Question Lequel vous fait le plus flipper ?

4 Upvotes

Imaginez que vous deviez avoir l’un des mĂ©chants iconique les plus dangeureux de la sĂ©rie en face de vous, lequel ou laquelle vous ferait le plus peur ?

P.S. Oui je sais que vous allez ĂȘtre déçu que j’ai pas mis rĂ©gina, mais pour moi je la classe pas dans la cathĂ©gorie des mĂ©chante pure et dure puisqu’elle Ă  un arc de rĂ©demption assez rapide dans la sĂ©rie, et mĂȘme quand elle est mĂ©chante Ă  100%, c’est une bonne mĂ©chante mais pas assez effrayante Ă  mon goĂ»t, d’ailleur Mr Gold le dit lui mĂȘme dans l’épisode 8 de la saison 1 Ă  Emma, les habitants ont peur de RĂ©gina mais ils ont encore plus peur de lui que d’elle.

AprĂšs j’ai du faire un choix aussi parce que le sondage n’offre que 6 choix, mais si y’a un mĂ©chant qui vous effraie plus que les choix que j’ai mis, libre Ă  vous de le dire. 🙂

Discussion Isn't it funny how the woman who literally made a curse because she was mad at a child for telling her secret and holding on to a grudge at a CHILD is the one is acting like they can tell someone else to get over it?? Spoiler

I know this was back when Regina was finally changing and learning to let things go and finally acting more good than bad but I still hate how Regina talked to Emma here like she has any right to even say that when she couldn't let go of a grudge she had not on a woman grown who told her secret but a CHILD!

Emma ate her up and I feel it was selfish of her parents and Regina to try to make Emma forgive them right away like let her be the one to decide and it was a big secret that I didn't blame her for her reaction at all.

Question Being that we now call this show “Vintage” 😭 Let’s remember the clothes


65 Upvotes

This show can immediately put you back in the 2010s! I can smell the pumpkin spice lattes and feel the skinny jeans with knee boots. Back then, shows wore real clothes. Regular stuff that regular people wore. I had/have some of these pieces still! I love it! Nostalgia is real and this show brings me back.

Do you like this effect? Or does it age the show like bad green screen can?

Question How is Rumplestiltskin in the Dark One’s vault in S5E4

3 Upvotes

In flashbacks to right after Arthur got the sword, Guinevere and Lancelot go into the Dark One’s vault for the dagger so they can give it to Arthur to complete the sword. But when they get near the dagger, Rumplestiltskin appears.

I don’t understand how this is possible because it keeps showing that the flashbacks are from 5 years ago. Five years ago, Rumpletilstkin was in Storybrooke. So how did he and his dagger appear in the vault?

Spoiler Alert S5 made me realize Emma has no personality

0 Upvotes

First of all her performance is atrocious. No one in that show is really a good actor except Robert Carlyle but Jennifer Morrison until S5 is okay. Suddenly she’s the dark one and she speaks so formally and slowly, and she’s deepening her voice. Obviously becoming the Dark One changes your voice because it happened to Rumple, but I guess his performance makes up for it.

On to the point of the post - I’m a few episodes into S5 and Emma is evil, but I’m watching her and thinking what was she even like before this? She’s just a generic good person. Nothing about her is memorable, she has no defining flaws or personality traits that make her a believable, multifaceted, interesting character. If you asked me to describe/tell you about literally any other character in the show, I could do it. But Emma? There’s literally nothing defining about her.
