To ask if anyone watches Once Upon a Time

[shakesbeer]

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.

Yeah Henry was crap, too. Even their kid was a bit annoying!

And I didn’t like what they did with Regina.

I’d have loved to see the Mad Hatter back!

Love that show and I’m all about captain swan ha :)

Hook is my favourite. I’ve even met the actor nice guy. At a convention

Unicorn I've been to conventions too! 4 nothing about it I wear my Oncer badge with pride hahaha. I'm another who isn't keen on Hook though. But agreed colin is really lovely. Did you meet Rebecca mader ? She's so hilarious in real life.

I love swanqueen too. For anyone who doesn't " see it" , search swanqueen on YouTube, watch a couple of videos and you'll never be able to unsee it. I really can't help but think it was written and acted in a certain way to keep the audience thinking it could happen.

Also does anyone else find the actress who plays Belle painfully bad ? I seem to be a minority in this but I think she's awful. I've skipped over entire scenes because of her

I must be in a minority, well obviously since it's being cancelled but I actually like the direction of this series, I find it interesting.

Also does anyone else find the actress who plays Belle painfully bad?

Heck yeah. Rumple deserved a much better love interest than her. The accent hurts my ears. Especially when she says haaaaaaaaaaaht "heart".

She got increasingly worse, too. Though I did shed a tear for her!

Muddling i don't mind the direction of it but do find some of the new actors make it difficult to watch.

Also i couldn't help but laugh when zelena came back and Regina was confused as to how Robyn was 25 and says something like "we're not here to discuss timelines". It was just the writers' attempt to get around having to explain how the timelines of season7 make absolutely no sense.

Not sure how to link a message to a user but. Pipandco yes. I met Rebecca and Lana and hook two years ago and Mila, Mulan, tink and merlin oh and mr Hyde last year in Paris. And hook again. Was suposed to meet Jennifer but she canceled sadly.

I can’t srand belle either, her voice is nails on a chalkboard.

Loved the first few seasons but season 5 onwards has been a huge struggle to get through

I definitely ship SwanQueen (and yes there’s plenty of excellent fanfic out there), but the last few years and Hook has completely ruined the character of Emma imo. She’s gone too “yes hook no hook how high hook?” for my taste. I liked fierce, determined emma not the wet weekend emma she is now.

Lana Parilla is awesome

Glum my thoughts exactly. I absolutely loved Emma I think the writers were trying to build a character whose walls came down once she found " love" and allowed herself to become more vulnerable but she just turned wet imo. I think she smiled maybe three times throughout s5 and 6. Those damn writers ruined the wonderful emma swan.
I've never been able to actually watch her and Hook exchange vows. It pains me too much.

Although the musical episode generally is a serious guilty pleasure I find those songs popping into my head all the time.

Sometimes I really have to wonder why Robert Carlyle is still there. The full month was on television the other day and I was reminded of what an iconic actor he is. I love the show but I can admit it's not exactly the gold standard of television. I was sure he'd leave at the end of s6 with most of the others. Maybe he just wants easy work as he gets older and to wind down. I'm sure my 66 year old father and many of that generation would be shocked to see what he's doing now !

Hook is gorgeous. Regina is gorgeous. To be honest I’d have a hard time picking! Mr Gold has that sexy ‘mad, bad and dangerous’ thing going for him, but he leaves me with the same ‘older man/daddy issues’ feelings that Jorah Mormont gives me in GoT .

I like Belle. I absolutely love how the Beauty and the Beast story is portrayed on OUAT - the idea that ‘love fixes all bad’ isn’t actually true, and some people can’t change, even if they’re a better person with you. I haven’t watched the new season so not sure where they’re at now.

I mean to be completely honest it's a very attractive cast and as a bisexual I find I have a few tv crushes on that show. I adore Jennifer Morrison have you ever seen her interviewed? she's such a class act. Extremely intelligent and witty.

I did always get very strong vibes that her and Lana Parrilla aren't exactly the best of friends- to put it mildly. I'm not sure if something went on there or just a personality clash.

The new season is worth a watch I think. People were quick to declare they hated it before it even came out. It's a completely different vibe to the rest of the show so does feel more like a spin-off but it's entertaining and I was so happy when they decided to bring zelena back as originally she was one of those who got booted at the end of s6. I think the fan uproar made the producers rethink.

The fanfic is better than the show itself.

Despite finding Killian gorgeous, there are some very, very hot SwanQueen fics.

Somerville have you read the loudest silence? It's amazing someone made a mock trailer for it. It's been published but the author changed emma and Regina's names I guess copyright

Shame it's been cancelled but Cinderella is alwful! Henry had good chemistry with Ivy.. Better actress less bland

Not to sure on Hook... Still. It did seem to change direction when they got together.

Charming... Enough said!

Runs in screaming. Me, me!

Ugh, I hate the latest series, thought it was utter shite. I especially hate Cinderella-a Latina?! And I say this as a Spanish teacher who loves all things Spanish! The kid was ridiculously annoying and also hate Belle. She’s just boring.

Absolutely love Robert Carlyle as Rumplestiltskin, what a fabulous character he is! Hilarious!

Umm, I think so, Pip. I'm rubbish at remembering fic titles. When was it pulled to publish?

A verrrry long Rumbelle was my gateway drug to OUAT fic, but most of the best written ones seemed to be SwanQueen.

The musical episode is what got me through season 6! I loved the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I loved the musical Once Upon a Time too, it’s really the only episode in season 6 that I really enjoyed (I can’t skip bad episodes, I have to watch things in order and all the way through)

Loved Zelena in the musical episode.
Sorta sad its ending as so much potential but it definitely ran its course

Im not going to read any other posters comments through fear of reading something i havnt yet watched on it. I have recently started watchong it and am only on series 1 episode 11, and am currently loving it, plus its something to watch when im not cleaning and being in mum mode, and it passes the time for when the next series of stranger things come out.
