2021-11-15 11:43:37 +0000 UTCGreat reaction, as usual. You were mentioning aobe how it's cool to see all the actors from Lost, or other shows here, and it reminded me of the "Newer" show out on Paramount now, "Why Women Kill". It's So much FUN! It's like a dramady and each season is a different story. season 1 has Features Ginnifer Goodwin, and Season 2 or 3, I forget stars Lana Parilla! I'm trying to think of the show about all the housewives that lived in this community- the name of the show- was either the street name or the city. God thats gonna bug me. but it;s like that...lol Anyway- theres like 8 episodes per season, something like that, but its so juicy I thought Id mention it. MELROSE PLACE! Damn- I'm so glad I remembered that. Anyway, I know youre watching a lot right now, but maybe some of the others might want to check it out. let me know if you do! It's deliciously EVIL! Cheers!

2021-11-06 18:27:33 +0000 UTCCruella having Rottweilers.... cant say anything... also Adam and Eddie the creators they had two other background stories for cruella DeVille but the backstory they chose was perfect I'll tell you and when we get to her Centric episode.. also Cruella Magic (persuasion power) the magic was actually supposed to come from her cigarette but Disney told ABC no.. Also I don't know if you noticed but Maleficent looks different she looks like the Angelina Jolie movie that just recently came out at this time Once Upon a Time wanted to keep in sync with that movie because our version of Maleficent in season 1 looked a little different.. And another thing Disney wouldn't allow ABC network to explore certain characters because they were developing the (live-action movie) for instance we're not allowed to do Aladdin at the and other characters but spoilers cant say and we weren't allowed to use Maleficent because they were developing a movie but since the movie is complete and done we got to have her. that's why we didn't see too much of her l in season 1.. same goes with Cinderella why we didit focus on Cinderella was because they were developing the live-action movie The live-action movie interferes with our show it's like competing with the same company The author storyline is phenomenal looking forward to exploring that Hands down cruella DeVille stole the show she did a phenomenal job Victoria smurfit the actress love the character and really did a awesome job with it It's beautiful to watch you fall in love with Regina sacrifice yourself for Emma and everybody she's a Redemption character and I love it Also the CGI for this half-season is really impressive Disney gave ABC more budget in the CGI because of the Frozen storyline So Emma has the potential to be dark Another thing I always felt like the Blue Fairy was always hiding something And at the end I just love charming and snow AKA dark Frosty having connections with Ursula and Cruella Deville the fans really wanted the charmings to be evolved more moving forward and this was a perfect-fitting sorry I wrote so much

2021-11-05 14:41:36 +0000 UTCI'm pretty certain I never suggested that you'd be excited to find out who the author is. I know I said that about the Sorcerer though, but now you know that the author and Sorcerer are not the same person. I'm so excited for the Sorcerer reveal though. It's amazing. :)

2021-11-03 03:26:59 +0000 UTCi uploaded a comment earlier, but i donβt think my wifi was working so it may or may not have sent, so iβm rewriting one. just wanted to say this in case there are randomly 2 from me lol. just want to mention that the cernabog was after the one with the greatest potential for darkness, not the one that is the darkest. thereβs more to that so i wonβt say much more, but just a clarification that should maybe make more sense :) thank you for the reaction jessie!! β€οΈ

2021-11-02 16:57:16 +0000 UTCThank you Jessie. Just watched rewatch Sea 2 The Crocodile, & the Doctor. Much more fun Jessie. Cept people judge Hook right away. He didn't stand a chance. When the highlight is about Rumple's POV most of the time, he looks like a jerk, tho so Sexy Zelena used him to take away Emma's Magic,, but Killian wouldn't hurt Emma, & he wanted to protect Henry. then like all the Characters, he becomes more know'n & how amazing, & deeply layered, he really can be, & he just keeps trying to be there for Emma & everyone.

2021-11-02 16:31:11 +0000 UTCOh my gosh, I though that voice sounded familiar! Yes, Daniel Dae Kim is Jin in Lost and one of my favorites! That's so cool that they have all these little references in the shows. Tiny, Jorge Garcia, in Hurley in Lost and he's one of my favorites as well. So I noticed him right away!

2021-11-02 05:09:41 +0000 UTCI'm super surprised that you didn't catch on the other Fantasia element ChernabogΒ is a demon featured in the "Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria" segment of Disney's 1940 animated feature film, Fantasia. He is based on the God of the Night in Slavic mythology.

2021-11-02 05:06:26 +0000 UTCDarkness on the Edge of Town- Thank you very much for another fun and exciting reaction for my favorite show, Jessie!!! I completely agree with you regarding how this show is able change up the feelings of each season and season arc, from the Neverland arc, the Wicked Witch arc, the Frozen arc, and now to the Queens of Darkness arc. And they're all fabullous in so many ways!!! And I also completely agree with you regarding loving both Killian's and Regina's redemption arcs too, and I love, love, love them so very much!! And what a fun episode Darkness on the Edge of Town is. I cannot wait for many more episode reactions from you to come!!! :) First, in regards to Regina burning the bird painting inside her office... As you might remember, the painting belonged to Mary Margaret when she was briefly the town Mayor when Regina stepped down upon going through some heavy emotions after Marian arrived in Storybrooke when Emma and Hook accidentally bring them back from their time travel adventure. The bird painting is a very Snow White kind of painting and it did not fit Regina's office dΓ©cor. Also... Regina noticed the painting in an earlier episode during this time period and disdainfully mocks it, saying how Mary Margaret had put it up in bad taste. So, in this episode... she burns it, symbolizing her return to power. I hope this makes sense. Now... I love the overall backstory, that reveals to us how Rumplestiltskin, Maleficent, Cruella, and Ursula all first meets as Rumplestiltskin summoned them together for a secret meeting at the Forbidden Fortress where Maleficent lives. And not only does Rumple convince the Queens of Darkness to trust him despite him lying to them about his true intentions in helping them as well, but we also learn how Rumple originally gains possession of the original dark curse, which we learn way back in the second episode of season one... The Thing You Love Most, that he had given it to Regina so she could cast the curse for him, yet that she soon gave it to Maleficent, until Regina then steals it back from Maleficent some time later. I always love great connections to past episodes, especially to episodes so early on. Later, Rumplestiltskin leads the villainesses to the cavern where the orb containing the dark curse is protected by three challenges, and the dangerous Chernabog which each one of the women must work together in order to break through it and to survive. Thankfully for them, they all succeed and they do survive. However, Rumple tricks the Queens of Darkness and steals the dark curse away from them, then leaves them there to die, which started the women's even deeper distrust in the Dark One. I love how Ursula, Cruella, and Maleficent are all able to pass their tests because Rumplestiltskin brings them in to work with him specifically for their powers that match the tests. Now, as for the present day storyline inside Storybrooke... in the beginning we see the peace that's come over their town within the last six weeks due to Gold having been banished from Storybrooke. We see a brief montage that shows Regina back to being the Mayor, Snow teaching again while Granny babysits baby Neal for Snow, and it shows Emma meeting up with Killian as he has a coffee waiting for her. I love their little kiss, then seeing Killian kiss Emma on her forehead before she walks away and he follows Belle inside the library. So cute. Emma and Killian are absolutely adorable together!! I can't say it enough. :) Next... we have a beautiful scene between Killian and Belle inside the library where they're working together to find a way to free the fairies, as well as the Apprentice from the Sorcerer's hat. Killian's frustration in being unable to find anything for the last six weeks is completely understandable, as it comes more from his guilt over the very difficult situation he had been trapped in, that he really shouldn't feel badly about, except for him having agreed to help Gold imprison the old man within the hat as well, before Gold ripped out Killian's heart. And then... this conversation leads Killian to bring up how he had been a fool for allowing himself to fall for Gold's lie, while Belle feels the same way upon realizing how naΓ―ve she had been to trust in him as well. I love this conversation between them, as Killian has come to be a really good friend and confidant for Belle. And I love that while Killian still deeply hates Gold for what he did to him and nearly did to Emma, he is so kind to Belle and reminds her of just how much Gold did love her to try to offer her as much comfort as he can upon seeing her so sad. Beautiful moment between them. And it's one of my favorite scenes throughout the episode. Also... I love how Gold convinces Ursula and Cruella to help him in his dark plan, and seeing them come together, then arrive outside of Storybrooke, in Cruella's classic Panther De Ville with the license plate that spells out, "DEV IL" to show anyone who sees her car just who owns it. And boy... is it a beautiful car. I don't know anything about classic cars and I certainly don't have any kind of appreciation for them, but if I ever had money to buy such a car... I would absolutely love to buy myself a replica of Cruella's car. I love it!!! I love the villains overall partnership and Gold's big plan that has barely begun, as they seek out to gain back their happy endings, in their own search for the Author. Meanwhile... the heroes are busy fighting and dealing with the Chernabog that we see was somehow also trapped within the Sorcerer's hat, no thanks to Gold once again because we find out that it was him who gave Belle the spell to free the fairies from the hat as he poses as a professor from Oxford who is talking within Belle through emails, having given Belle the spell to free the fairies, but also one that would free the Chernabog as well in order to unleash havoc on the town. In order to create trouble for the heroes so that he could use the beast as a way to convince the heroes to let Cruella and Ursula into Storybrooke. I didn't expect this twist and I love this whole brilliant idea. And thanks to Ursula and Cruella, the heroes learn that the Chernabog goes after the person with the most potential in their heart for darkness just like it had once gone after Maleficent in their past together, but thankfully Regina and Emma figure out for themselves that the only way to defeat it is to force the magical creature over the town line, outside of Storybrooke where no magic exists. And after quite the exciting battle as they race in Emma's yellow bug to the town line... they succeed as Regina surrenders herself to the creature as she thinks she's the one the creature is after due to her heart still being black, in order to protect Emma, only to duck just in time as Emma slams on her breaks so that the Chernabog goes flying over the town line and dispels. So exciting! Again... I love it! Yoou said you don't think that Ursula and Cruella did a whole lot to help the heroes defeat the Chernabog, but they do reveal what, or rather who this beast is after, which is really important.Because the heroes wouldn't have known that, and even though Emma would have come up with her plan to destroy the beast,they wouldn't have known who they could have used as bait as faras they believe the right person to be, in order to draw away the Chernabog with knowing who it's after. I hope this makes sense. In regards to the inspiration for the Chernabog... this creature is from the Disney movie... Fantasia from way back in 1940. The Chernabog is a creature shown in one of this movie's many music sequences, and I love that another character from Fantasia comes in, much like the walking broomstick with arms and legs shown in the Frozen arc. Unfortunately, but brilliantly... we later learn through Gold as he explains this to the two Queens of Darkness, that the creature wasn't actually after Regina like she and everyone else would have expected for it to, but Emma Swan. Because Emma appears to have the heart with the greatest potential for darkness on account of just how powerful she is as the Savior. Yikes!! I love all the mystery within these storylines. The Author storyline, Emma's heart with the great potential for darkness storyline, and more... such phenomenal mysteries that are so intriguing. Love it!! :) Also... I love how Regina is able to finally free the fairies from the hat after she casts the spell so she can release them, then seeing Killian continuing to feel guilty at their celebration inside Granny's afterwards, until Emma comes out to assure him he doesn't deserve to keep feeling so guilty, since it was Gold's control over Killian's heart that forced him to do so. This is my other favorite moment in this episode. I love how Emma attempts to lighten his mood as she talks about going to "buckle some swash", then how she assures Killian that to her, he has a well deserved "mark in the hero column". Such a cute moment between them. I love it! And like you... I am so happy that Killian's storyline from the Frozen arc is carried through into this new arc with him now feeling the guilt coming from his actions. And I love all the more that Emma doesn't blame him for his actions even from before he lost his heart... back when he was forced to make a deal with Gold to get him to remove his hand again upon it supposedly being cursed. I appreciate Emma's growth, because in the past I feel she most definitely would have been angry with him. And it's wonderful seeing just how much Killian has grown as well. Love it! Oh... and through the Blue Fairy, Regina and Henry learn a little more about the Author, and that somehow, for some reason the Sorcerer was in the possession of all of the Author's storybooks. I love the mystery behind the Author and the heroes', as well as the villains' searches for him or her too. I also really love the scene in the beginning between Emma and Regina just before Killian and Belle come running into Regina's office to reveal that they discovered how to free the fairies. I love how Emma continues to assure Regina that they will find the Author to help Regina gain her happy ending, and that Emma soon finds the new Page 23 from the storybook, which we see all taped back together after Regina clearly had turned back to collect the pieces after having torn the page into pieces and let go of them in the previous episode... Heroes and Villains, just after Robin crosses the town line with Marian and Roland. Very nice. Later on, in spite of Mary Margaret's and Charming's protests, both Emma and Regina agree to let Cruella and Ursula into Storybrooke using the Snow Queen's scroll to do so, because they had kept up their end of their deal and helped them to defeat the Chernabog. And they do so, which leads to the Queens of Darkness later letting Gold into Storybrooke as well. Not good. It seems strange that no one would take back the scroll... unless the villainsesses stole it again, or have someone keep an eye on the two villains after they drive across the town line and continue to walk around freely throughout town. However, it's a flaw I can overlook since I love this episode overall so much. I love the idea of them using the Snow Queen's scroll in order to let Ursula and Cruella into Storybrooke actually. I think it's a very clever idea because we really didn't see a whole lot of use of the scroll when the Snow Queen herself used it to get into Storybrooke, or when the Apprentice gives it to her. And besides... it is a way to bring our characters into Storybrooke again, without having to take any time away from the rest of this season arc's stories in order to show an all new way of solving this dilemma. Also... I really love the moment Cruella and Ursula let Gold back into Storybrooke when they toss the scroll out to him, and I absolutely love the moment Gold transitions from being a cripple out in the outside world, to when he suddenly can walk perfectly well without his cane as he tosses it away the moment he steps across the town line. Brilliant! Then... we are reminded in the end of this episode that the reason why Maleficent isn't with the two other Queens of Darkness and Rumple within the present storyline, is because she had been killed as was shown back in part two of season one's two part finale... A Land Without Magic, when we see Emma fighting against Maleficent in her dragon form down in the caves beneath the library and clock tower. At the end of this battle, Emma succeeds in killing Maleficent by throwing her father's sword directly into the dragon's chest just as she is about to blow her fire, and Maleficent suddenly bursts into flames and ash, leaving a pile of her ash on the rocks. Then, later in season two's episode... The Evil Queen, Hook is shown fighting against Maleficent in her newly mummified form, revealing that she's dead, but not completely as dead as she would be were it not for the magic casted over her when the curse brought Maleficent over in the dark curse as well. Now... somehow Gold has a plan to bring her back so that the Queens of Darkness will all become reunited once more. Phenomenal!!! I absolutely love this storyline, and I'm so excited for you to see all that's to come!!! :) And lastly... we have one final conversation between Mary Margaret, David, Ursula, and Cruella somewhere within the forest as they come together in the dark and rain for a secret meeting. And in this moment, it's revealed the four of them have a past together, along with Maleficent that Snow and Charming do not want to anyone to learn about, especially their daughter. And hearing Mary Margaret threaten to rip out the villainess' hearts is so scary. So unlike Snow White. I love it, although it's also a little sad too. There's so much more to come and I can't wait!! Such a fantastic overarching storyline! Overall... a brilliant episode and I really love it. I absolutely love Maleficent, Cruella, and Ursula, and seeing them come to work together in both the present and the past. The actresses chosen to play all three of these powerful women are prefect, and even Cruella has magic too, which she didn't have in her movies... 101 Dalmatians, both the Disney animated one, or in the two live-action movies with Glenn Close as Cruella De Vil, and I really love this twist given to her character for the sake of making Cruella just as big of a threat as the rest of these powerful villainesses too. The power of persuasion and influence over all animals and creatures. This is amazing, and when I first watched this episode when it first aired on TV, I was so excited for the reveal as to how it is Cruella has come to have magic too!! I love Kristin Bauer Van Straten (Maleficent), Victoria Smurfit (Cruella) and Merrin Dungey (Ursula)! Oh... and if I remember correctly, you are a fan of the show, Lost, so you might be interested to know that the voice coming through the drive thru voice box... is Daniel Dae Kim, who is also from Lost. There are a ton of Lost references all throughout Once Upon a Time. I don't watch Lost and never have, but I know Daniel Dae Kim plays one of the show's main characters, just like the Snow Queen played by Elizabeth Mitchell, and Tiny, who is played by actor, Jorge Garcia... are both major characters from Lost too. I love seeing three villains like Cruella De Vil, Ursula, and Rumplestiltskin going through the drive thru at some chicken fast food restaurant. Very funny. :) Thank you so much again for your amazing reaction for Darkness on the Edge of Town, Jessie! I'm so excited for more to come!!! So, until your next reaction... Thank you!!! Sincerely, Heidi
