Any one else following Once Upon a Time?

[ISaySteadyOn]

On Netflix, series 5? Or is it just me?

[ReadyPlayerOne]

I'm excited to see the Underworld. I feel we've been teased about it this series; Robin almost being dragged by the Fury, the Dark Ones arrival. That said I am confused about everyone going on a road trip to Hell, especially as there are babies to leave behind. Who's watching them? Granny?
I'd almost be ok with a time passing slower in the Underworld trope, so that on the return the babies will have aged up to more useful ages, story wise.

I already miss Zelena I must say. She's so over the top, but her panto villainy is fun to watch.

Am also eager to get back to Merida, Red and Mulan. The longer established character are a teensy but boring; I'm keen to see new adventures of those three to break it up a bit.

[INeedSomeHelp]

I've just started Series 4 so still a bit of catching up to do. As possibly the only person in the world not to have seen Frozen, the Elsa storyline is a bit lost on me.

[ThatsNotMyRabbit]

Still watching. Still loving, even though the repetitiveness is getting a bit laughable.

Rumple - bad. Good. Bad again. Good again. Bad.
Regina - bad. Almost good. Back to bad. Good.
Belle - "I'm leaving you, Rumple - no I'm not. I love you. No I don't, you're bad. I love you, you're a hero".
Everyone loses their memory. Everyone remembers everything. Everyone loses their memory. Etc.

It's splendid nonsense and I wouldn't miss it

[tribpot]

I can't believe we're going through another Rumple bad! Belle doesn't know! cycle. Not helped by the fact that apparently everyone else does despite Emma saying in the previous scene she wouldn't tell anyone.

I think it's only Emma who's going to Hades. But isn't Henry likely to say 'er, whilst you're down there, any chance you could bring my dad back if you're trawling for old lovers?'.

Surely the sword contained all the power of the dark ones before Killian was stabbed with it, so Rumpel could have said at that point "thanks everyone, I'm channeling that now, au revoir", the stabbing thing could have been avoided entirely.

Well, thank god it's all over til March!

[CaptainKit]

Isn't the rule that there has to be a life paid for a life? Surely Emma's not going to sacrifice herself down there in exchange for Hook's coming back, so how are they going to get around that?

[GingerIvy]

I would have rather seen Belle go bad and watch Rumple try to make her good again. I think Belle could have a pretty nasty streak hidden.

[tribpot]

Maybe there will be some new villain terrorising Storybrooke that can be conveniently cast down into Hades to allow Emma to return.

Bad Belle would certainly have been more interesting for Emilie de Ravin than playing bloody old sweetness-and-light Belle, she must be getting sick of how little her character gets to do. At least Snow White has had a kick-ass back story, even if now she also doesn't get much to do but wander around with the baby in a blanket.

[ClarenceTheLion]

I've just finished catching up. As somebody said above, it is exasperating nonsense but it manages to be a lot of fun too! I loved the Merida episode. Though seriously, unless that Macintosh guy is her future love interest, he's seriously miscast! Who would turn their nose up at him??

The pacing of the show drives me crazy though. "Problem, problem, OMG it's such a huge problem, how are we ever going to solve this terrible problem? Oh wait, I just remembered I have a handy little gadget that solves this particular terrible problem with one little wave in the air. Yay!"

[Excited101]

Yes! I've just watched the last episode of this half-series. Can't help but have found this series really disjointed so far though... Maybe just me, I really should learn to concentrate better when I watch things!

I'm quite pleased Rumple is dark again but I do wish Belle would move onto someone else, I can't say I'm keen on them as a couple. I think it could be fun to have Snow as the dark one. She and Charming are so boring these days, and I don't like her short hair. Why does Neal never grow??

Love the idea of Zelena's baby being Rumple's and also reckon Belle should be dark for a bit, I think she'd kick ass!

[ClarenceTheLion]

I would love it if Belle could do more in the show. She's just there to fawn over Rumple and look in books for the characters who actually do things.

It is interesting to see how much Henry has grown in the time that Neal has remained the same size. Usually babies grow much faster than teenagers! Either they don't want to deal with an annoying toddler in the show, or they want to use him as part of the Zelena baby storyline.

I have seen the last 2 episodes, and I am genuinely enjoying the show again. It's been a while since I have looked forward to the next episode. The red dress that the Evil Queen wore was exquisite!

[Hotpatootietimewarp]

I'm loving hades in this and loved the reference to Hercules and Meg

[magicstar1]

It's getting much better again...I almost gave up over the Arthur / Camelot storyline - it was so boring. I'm up to date and a couple of days ahead of Netflix - can't wait til next week!

[FillingMakesMeVom]

Started watching this in December some are good some are bad. Peter Pan was good but it felt a little long, the Camelot one was a little meh, but generally like it. It's good to see the storyline characters in a little more adult setting

[magicstar1]

Boopsy, it's on US tv on Sunday so I watch it online on Monday...I've no patience lol

[dillite]

As far as I know Camelot never existed. That was all just a bad dream never to be remembered. I am liking the whole Hades storyline and how Rumple is the one that's being manipulated now.

[Wheresmybippers]

Ooh hello! I'm a fan and been keeping up, also enjoying the new season, poor Hook's face though.
Anyone else finding Emma (or Jennifer's) acting really odd at the moment?
