So excited for it to return in March! This episode was really good, and the villanesses about to arrive makes it all the more exciting!

The villanesses lived up to their names tonight. The next half of the season looks promising. Also, tonight Belle became a little bit stronger after being a weak character. Rumple had lied to her for way too long.

BOOBIES ARE NATURAL.

American's are so freakin' prudish.

Cruella lives in London, not some magical land.

So happy to see Elsa and Anna gone, but I will miss Elizabeth Mitchell who is a welcome addition to any show. I'm pretty excited about the villainesses coming in, they seemed to be having fun. I just hope they get something more original to do than place yet another curse on Storybrook.
Sad to see Regina and Robin depart. Hopefully Regina won't retread to her Evil Witch persona.
So is the author seriously going to be Mickey Mouse?

Cruella just doesn't fit the group. She has no magic. Why on earth would they need her?

Cruella is the definition of "jumping the shark". Next thing you know, they're going to include those two siamese cats.

Bring back the boobs!

I mean, the ice queen who loves Emma.

Madam Mim from 'The Sword in the Stone' would have made more sense than Cruella, but apparently she's not an iconic villain.

Maybe next season the villian will be the fire that killed Bambi's mom.

If Disney still had the rights to 'Narnia' they also could have used Jadis the White Witch. That also would have made a lot more sense. However, an appearance from her will probably never happen because the rights to use those books belong to the C.S. Lewis Estate and they are apparently picky on who can use them. They also just had a sorceress with ice/snow powers.

I'm giving up the show the day Mr. Clean makes an appearance.

Ratings hit a series low last night.

ETA: Though ABC and the staff are not bothered by this.

"ABC points out that Once Upon, on average this season, is still up 13 percent from the same point last year."

Cruella seems like a tough character to shoehorn into the world, though the actress looks like fun, so I'll go along for the ride.

Actually, in a recent EW interview, they addressed (not convincingly, I might add) how they were going to tie-in Cruella:

Let’s talk about Cruella de Vil. Can you say what world she comes from?
KITSIS: We’re kind of taking some liberty there. We’re going to realize that our Cruella may have originated from the Enchanted Forest, and we may find out she has some magic of her own. She’s part villain, part Zelda Fitzgerald. There’s something glamorous and jazz age, but something very deadly about her as well.
HOROWITZ: She’s a fun character for us. We hopefully found a way to spin it and make her different and part of the Once universe while also having plenty of nods of the iconography of Cruella that everybody loves.

It sounds the sort of thing you're either going to have to accept the implausibility of, or you're really not going to like the second half of the season.

And also, Cruella just has great hair.

Loved how the creative team converted her from cartoon to real-life. She's Disney and this is basically a Disney show, so it's not all that far-fetched, is it?

I love Elizabeth Mitchell, but was annoyed by her on this show. She "wanted a family to love her?" That was the plot of the whole first half of the season? The she vanished in a ball of light? Didn't love it. (And I'm not prudish about boobs. I just didn't want to see hers, and don't really want to see any on *this* show.)

Her power was in her boobs. Don't hate. I have wanted to part of Elizabeth Mitchell's family and supply her with as much love as she needed since Gia and then ER.

Cruella fits in as much as Frankenstein.

[ray-andallthatjazz86]

Posted: 12/16/14 at 2:40pm

I completly forgot Frankenstein was a thing! The thing about this show is for me it jumped the shark ever since the pilot. I just don't think it's ever been a good show or understood/cared about its rules all that much. So the way I see it is whether it's gonna be fun or not. Elsa and Anna were no fun for me, neither was Peter Pan (though the dark twist was very clever). Cora was fun, Zelena was fun; Cruella sounds fun and the actress looks like she's game, so I'm looking forward to it. The series plays fast and loose with its mythology all the time.
And Elizabeth Mitchell is one of my favorites. I can't express how obnoxious I find the comments criticizing her outfit, as Julia Roberts famously professed once: "they're called boobs, Ed."

How soon can we expect The Witch from INTO THE WOODS to make an appearance in this? Huh? Anyone willing to take a wild guess?

[Musical Master]

Posted: 12/16/14 at 3:31pm

@Carlos, I highly doubt that, so far they're using characters from Disney's own animated films and didn't we have a different Rapunzel and Witch in this already?

Eion Bailey is returning as August for the season's 14th episode.

^^ I'm so excited!!!!!! I loved him on the show so much

Have we had Rapunzel? I may have blocked it out.

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 12/19/14 at 12:05pm

She was in one episode a while back. I'm hazy on the details, but I remember Prince Charming coming to her rescue back in Fairy Tale Land.

[ray-andallthatjazz86]

They did have Rapunzel in the batch of episodes featuring Zelena. I don't think there was a Witch, the twist was that Rapunzel was the Witch since her own fear manifested itself as a physical presence. I wouldn't be surprised if they bring in INTO THE WOODS character if the movie is a hit and if they get renewed.
