Once Upon A Time

Dark and Light magic will be combined to become Grey Magic.

Grey magic for a grey world. Look at this legacy of Black-and-White Insanity has ruined peoples lives.

Actually, the power goes from user to user on death so if it was shared between all of them on revival them all being weaker (unless they work in unison) would be kind of logical.

You know, Storybrooke is kind of lawless. These fairy tale characters kill each other all the time, and they keep living with each other.

Regina killed scores of people, Zelena killed Baelfire, Marian and I think indirectly the Wizard of Oz, Mary Margaret killed Cora, and Emma killed Cruella and was going to kill Zelena.

There's a lot more, but it'd be kind of terrifying to live in a town where even the heroes can get away with actual murder.

It is kind of strange, mostly due to the nature of the story. It's a fairytale/fantasy story, where just outright killing the villain is normally just a reliable way of being sure they're defeated. However, it's also a drama with a fair amount of character focus so the villains are actual people with the potential to change, which creates that bizarre situation.

Cora and Cruella were both shown to be completely irredeemable, at least.

The continued ignoring of the fact that Regina is straight-up a murderer is something that actively bothers me (seriously, nobody ever remembers about poor Graham), but as long as it is actually ignored I guess I can let it go for the sake of her much more interesting role as one of the heroes.

And everyone just kind of putting up with Zelena bugs the crap out of me. The fact that they dragged her with them everywhere when she was pregnant was mind-bogglingly dumb, and I can't come up with any excuse for why she's still allowed to roam at will. It's not even just because there's bigger fish to fry at the moment, because Regina and Robin were letting her have a relationship with her daughter, which implies some kind of future autonomy, all of which is just a terrible idea. Seriously, there's only about three characters who can go toe-to-toe with Zelena. If she wanted to, she could go on a rampage and you'd have to hope that Dark Swan was in the mood to stop her.

I just want to know where Lily and Maleficent went.

They're hibernating.

Considering that they are planned for the second half of this season, that is actually kind of true.

They still have to find Lily's father.

I bet it was the Horned King from The Black Cauldron.

Let's get really obscure.

At the start of Season 4, need to ask: do I need to watch Frozen?

I kind of want to, but I kind of don't.

If ever you want to watch Frozen, you should do it now. It's a good movie for one and if you watch season 4 of once first you will get spoilered.

I still think Merlin is Lily's father personally. Though that does give off Mrs' Robinson vibes now that we know Merlin is an eternally young guy instead of eternally middle-aged (still would have loved to see Nathaniel Parker as Merlin XD). But if Merlin's stuck in Hades after his heart got crushed, than it makes sense that they'd find him there in 5B.

How the eff would he be Lily's father if he was stuck in a tree for thousands of years?

I think that the father of Lily is Hades or Mordred.

Mmmm the timelines on this show seem screwed up enough that maybe he had dragon sex before getting stuck in the tree? Eh. Who knows. But the celestial imagery - the birthmark and the necklace bare the most similarity to Merlin's hat so....

He somehow met Emma when she was a kid so I wouldn't be surprised if he did some timejumping before getting in the tree.

I assumed that was "appearing" and not "meeting." Like, he was a vision, not physically present.

They could always do what they did with Cora and make sure he ends up back in the tree by the end of the episode.

So I imagine there would be much awkwardness between the Dark Ones given their "you kill it you bought it" thing. They now have to work with the people who killed them.

Rumple's ghost handles it well. He hated Killian but he manages.

So, Once Upon a Time is being pre-empted for a presidential Address where I am.

Is it the same for the rest of you?

Yeah, me too.

Got Once here. God bless Canada I guess XD

Well...that is one way to get rid of people you don't like...

I am in Canada.

Fortunately, it's airing now.

I wonder where Rumple will go from here now that he's no longer the Dark One?

Chaotic Neutral?

What channel are you watching it on? ABC or CTV?

Well, that's sad...I'm assuming 5B is going to be some form of Orpheous plot?

Rumple's really easily forgiven on this show. HOLY FUCKING SHIT RUMPLE IS THE FUCKING DARK ONE AGAIN BLARGH

Jesus Rumple, talk about a revolving door of morality. And reestablishing the status quo. I'm starting to think he's just not worth it Belle.
