Spoilers

[ery]

they risk to lose focus even more... bah... I hope they don't mess up anything...

[giftofamber]

I'm ambivalent about Phillip returning. I wasn't really interested in Mulan/Phillip/Aurora, but he also doesn't directly affect my ship like certain other male characters who haven't died yet. *coughs*

Did anyone else notice Adam H. complaining of a 'lack of beards' is Les Mis....just a bit ironic w/how many beards he's given Emma, don't you think?

[phoenix521]

Yeah, I saw his post about that earlier. I nearly replied to tell him to check OUaT. They have all kinds there.

Adam mentioned on twitter that we're seeing Charming's real name soon... Sooooo I think In The Name of The Brother is really about him...

[agramontes]

It would be sweet if it was about both PCharms and Frankenwhale. I saw some casting news had said they were casting Whale's brother as well. And there was a deleted scene mentioned somewhere on tumblr that was Snow, Regina and Charming before King Leopolds death (set during the Mirror/Sidney Glass origin episode) where it had to be the other Charming brother meeting Snow for the first time.

I like the parellels they keep doing... I hope we get a backstory for Jefferson/Rumple as well and find out how he went from Portal Jumper to Peasant and what happened to his wife. And I'd love to see Rachel Shelley(Milah) again and wouldn't it be hot if young Milah was played by Cobie Smulders?! But I digress....

So, 2.16 is "The Miller's Daughter"
Do you think we'll see young Regina? Like really really young Regina?
I don't think so, but I saw lots of people talking about it, so...

I think it will be Cora having the baby and refusing/dealing so as not to give her up to the imp -- the price for her magic. IMHO we will not see an infant!Regina but she will be implied in staging. I wonder what Lana will say if they do cast an infant to play her?

Just thinking though... Wouldn't that be a great behind the scenes photo? Lana holding baby!Regina? (Can I make a wish now that Jen be in the shot with her, rather than Barbara?)


PS - everyone, I hope you are having a nice start to the new year.

[yessikg]

So excited about 2x16, Cora's backstory is one of the things I've been dying to see

I actually want Phillip to come back, because I ship him and Aurora and because I want that storyline to be over

'Tiny' better not be about Tinkerbell, she's one of the few Disney characters I don't like

I'm really hoping Neal is The White Rabbit, I want him to be anyone but Bae

[evilregalqueen]

THAT'S IT I QUIT.

[giftofamber]

Take a deep breath. I know it looks bad, but I don't see Neal as a long term love interest. For one, he isn't a regular cast member. He's got death written all over him; it's just a matter of when and how. The writers probably want to make it look like a 'romance' so that we'll care when he dies (which we won't).

[gi021]

IF he is really Bae, I don't think they'll kill him, but if he isn't then that would be the best case scenario ‘cause they could yet make a love triangle between HookxEmmaxNeal (BARF). That would be just great… NOT.

That aside what really got me was this part ‘use it to save her family from the Evil Queen and the Queen of Hearts’. I’m conflicted about this, part of me just want Regina to snap and turn on the Charmings and then they realize it was their fault (part of it at least).
Another part of me doesn’t want that, Regina put so much effort for Henry to just throw it all away, to have her mother win this so easily and for the Charmings go all ‘See, I told you she couldn’t be good’, would kill me.


But all of this is just speculation, we have a lot ahead of us yet, I’ll let myself start to freak out in the fourth season or so if they didn’t progressed Emma and Regina relationship, till then I’ll just bitch about all the man they throw at them. XD

Yet another reason why I don't want him to be Bae and that triangle would be so AWFUL, yuck!

THIS, I'm so conflicted

Historically, 5 seasons is my limit so they have until then to get them together

I get the impression from MRJ's tweeting session the other day that he is lined up to become a series regular in the third season, but knowing A&E, they would save that reveal until the end of the season... To not give anything away. And I'm almost certain at this point that someone fairly important is dying by end of season because A&E also said in the podcast that 'nobody is safe'. I don't think it will be Regina or Emma tho... I hope not anyways.

[ery]

someone fairly important... they want to kill Swan Queen... that's it. I knew something would have happened sooner or later, but I tried to dream... this week is so bad, first rumors about Cora and Eva related ( I don't know why tumblr was so obsessed with this idea of them sister, I wasn't worried at all, but all these comments make me doubt and I 'm scared... now). Then these spoilers about that ugly Neal ready to be the new love interest. We all knew it was predictable, but I still can't get over the fact they put a lot of SQ in the 2x10 just to illude us... ? that's so cruel...

[EvilQueen]

Hey, chill, I don't see a reason to worry
First, as discussed in the other thread, Cora and Eva being related would have absolutely nothing to do with Swan Queen, there are far 'worse' things going on in this show and somehow nobody is questioning it. Second cousin coupling is perfectly legal and widely acceptable, not to mention that with such a messed up family tree already, it would be hard to do anything about it anyway.
Second - Emma is going to confront Neal. So? Big deal, I'm actually happy that this is happening so early - we knew this had to happen sooner or later, why else introduce Neal's story in the first place? But the fact that the writers are dealing with this RIGHT NOW, on such an early stage of the show, even though there are other things at stake, makes me think that the writers have some other plans for Neal and Emma so called relation. Think of it - if they were to have a happy ending, wouldn't they reunite more towards the end of the season or even the show itself? No, they are doing it now and it's going to be big and definitely eventful. If I was you, I'd invest in a bucket of popcorn, sit down and relax.
