Once Upon a Time Thread

Postby United Russian Soviet States » Thu Mar 05, 2015 8:15 pm

This thread is to discuss the television show Once Upon a Time. I used to watch the show before they ended the Frozen storyline. I had only knew a little about the show before they announced that Frozen was coming. I then go interested of idea of seeing Frozen characters in modern America. As Season 4 rolled on, it had many interesting points. The character Rumplestiltskin is like a Nazi. He battled Ingrid the Snow Queen, who is like a Stalinist. It was a little like World War II. The show also had the return of my favorite character from Frozen, Prince Hans. It was interesting to see him try to get revenge on Anna and Elsa. That is my experience with the show. This thread is to discuss anything OUAT.

I watched Season 1 and half of Season 2. Midway through Season 2 one of the bad guys was finally killed by one of the good guys, and then they revealed that because she had killed someone -- in other words, properly solved the problem and therefore finally become more hero than bystander -- Snow White's heart had formed a black spot. I never watched another episode after that... a show that doesn't believe in problem-solving doesn't keep me as a viewer.

They have never been able to solve the problem of Rumplestiltskin.

Of course not; He is a popular character, which is why he came back, despite being banished.

So, I am caught up with Once Upon a Time, as are a few of my friends. In my opinion, the show started off with a very interesting concept. I loved the first season. Not for the graphics, or acting, but for the actual story.
My interest slipped a bit, until the introduction of peter Pan, which i thought was incredible, and now is slipping again.
Hopefully, they will make an great twist that will spark my interest again.

I hope Princess Anna returns to kill Rumplestiltskin or a least capture him and bring him to justice.

When Disney/ABC makes these episodes they aren't going "hmm... What political ideology should this character represent?", They are going "hmm... what would a realistic personality for this character to have?" The reason why it would probably be Emma is because she is the "savior".

I want Rumple to pick a side and stick to it. At least for a season, not continuously switching between good and bad
