To ask if anyone watches Once Upon a Time

And if so, does anyone else think that Emma and Regina would've made a fabulous couple and one that would've made perfect sense ??

I felt such a chemistry after a few episodes. Then I discovered there is actually a name for this pairing - "Swanqueen "

Watching a few videos that people have put together on YouTube really made me wish these two had been an item. Especially since I cannot stand Captain 'guyliner' Hook.

I have the day off and am rewatching from series1 so I am musing.Grin

There is probably some fanfiction of that out there. I had never thought of it like that but you are right.

AHedgehogCanNeverBeBuggered · 19/02/2018 15:50

Hmm, I tried watching it but to me Jennifer Morrison will always be Cameron - I keep expecting House, Foreman and Chase to come striding into shot bickering about MRIs and sarcoidosis!

Dollius01 · 19/02/2018 15:52

I LOVE this programme and, yes, you are right about Emma and Regina. I do love the fact they become like sisters...

mustbemad17 · 19/02/2018 15:52

Lots of fanfiction on this online, was a very hot topic at one point!
However i am utterly aghast at you not liking Hook & must declare this post blasphemous think i spelt that wrong but my ire still stands

shakesbeer · 19/02/2018 15:57

Mustbemad I just didn't like his first interactions with Emma - " if I jab you with my sword you'll feel it ." Hmm also Emma was my favourite character not just on the show but possibly any tv programme and I feel like since she got with Hook she turned into such a boring stepford wife and lost so much of her spark ! I thought he was an interesting character and had funny moment but really hated him with Emma. Always felt she deserved better. I really liked her with Neal !

I'm just a sucker for a mouthy bad lad 😆
I lost interest in the show once Emma turned bad...it didn't have quite the same ooomph to it

strawberrytheguineapig · 19/02/2018 16:03

What channel are you watching it on?

MadMags · 19/02/2018 16:10

YABU because Captain Hook is one of the best things to ever happen to television and Neal was awful!

So now!

mustbemad17 · 19/02/2018 16:12

MadMags i'm pleased to find someone to share my ire 😂

shakesbeer · 19/02/2018 16:13

Strawberry it's on Netflix :)
Madmags I do realise I'm in the minority. I just don't like how much Emma changed after being with him. Also thought he was a bit of a misogynistic tool at times but that could lead to a whole other conversation !

My friend met the actor a while ago and said he was really lovely. Very humble and quite shy

I did watch it for a bit, but got annoyed with the Disney plots and gave up after a while.

DaphneFanshaw · 19/02/2018 16:13

I do think they would have made a brilliant couple though.

MadMags · 19/02/2018 16:14

Even our usernames indicate that we are like-minded and brilliant at picking wonderful fictional men to drool over! Wink

mustbemad17 · 19/02/2018 16:15

Shame they're fictional 😂

MadMags · 19/02/2018 16:22
Sad

And of course so is The Huntsman. Tis a cruel, cruel world!

Damn-right @MadMags

Have you heard him sing??? Oh that gorgeous Irish accent makes me swoon

MadMags · 19/02/2018 16:26

I know!!!

mustbemad17 · 19/02/2018 16:44

I have found my people 😆😆

8misskitty8 · 19/02/2018 16:50

It was announced last week that once upon a time will be ending after the current series which is half way through in America.. So make the most of these last few episodes of killian Jones !

shakesbeer · 19/02/2018 16:51

8miss yes I saw Lana parrilla's emotional Instagram post ! It's a shame for the actors but I think we could all see it coming. The new season should've been a spinoff. The s6 finale was perfect should've been left there.

MadMags · 19/02/2018 16:58

The post-Emma season never should have happened. It just wasn’t the same and their Cinderella was SO annoying.

SnowWhitesRestingBitchFace · 19/02/2018 17:04

HUGE OUAT fan here! I get the idea behind a SwanQueen pairing but I just can't get behind it. I love Hook!

Off topic but I wish they had used this last season as an opportunity to bring back characters they had introduced but didn't make much of a fuss of. Like the mad hatter (I'm aware Sebastian Stan is incredibly busy but a girl can dream) Will Scarlet, I know he featured quite largely in the Wonderland spin off but I wanted him back on the main show.

SnowWhitesRestingBitchFace · 19/02/2018 17:05

@MadMags Yes yes to Cinderella being massively annoying! Couldn't warm to her at all!

shakesbeer · 19/02/2018 17:07

Oh dear it seems I have stated a Hook fanpage!

Cinderella actress is awful and zero chemistry with the actor who plays henry. I don't see how they ever thought she was a good choice ! Also does anyone else find older henry just too cool?? Henry was very sweet but sort of awkward and nerdy. Older Henry is so suave.
