Oh my gosh..... 'The Millers Daughter' just aired in the UK! Hands down, the best episode of Once ever. On the edge of my seat, and got so emotional throughout the entire thing. Does young Cora appear again, or us that it now? As Rose was magnificent playing her.

Yeah, 'The Miller’s Daughter' was easily the best episode of the 2nd season for me. Young Cora doesn’t appear again in the 2nd season from what I remember, but I’m pretty sure the show runners have said she‘ll be seen again (in the past, at least).

As for the other thing, I’m not surprised Ariel would be introduced this season, since Neverland has mermaids. Still, I’m glad it’s confirmed because the show may not be on for longer than a few more seasons, if that much. I only worry that Rumpelstiltskin will be Ursula instead of Ursula being a new villain being introduced. :/ I would’ve liked if she’d be a new big bad of the season now Cora is gone.

Yeah I could easily see that happen. The Fact that Ursula makes many deals kinda thinks you might be right. I hope not, but I wouldn't be too surprised if that was the way it happens.

Disney's Divinity, why do you think it won't be around that long ? I hope it will be, as it is fascinating watching everything unfold .... plus, it seems to have developed quite a cult following.

I don't think I could cope if this was cancelled after Season Three....I still haven't quite come to terms with Ringer being cancelled. That was emotionally traumatizing to be left with so many questions lol.

I recently saw nine episodes of the first season and I'm afraid this show isn't for me. It's too melodramatic and the acting, writing and special effects are so poor...

Aww that's a shame; I do think you should stick with it though, does develop into an amazing show.

I’m not trying to say anything like that for doom and gloom. For all I know, the show could go 6+ seasons. :P I’m just used to preparing myself to shows ending lately, and with the lowering ratings, there’s always a possibility there. I’m sure the show will at least last through a fourth season, because they’ve already got so close to syndication. But if the ratings continue to sink consistently, that could mean the show may not see a season 5, etc. Ratings rarely go up from where they start, and less so after they’ve started going down. I don't think ABC will be giving up on OUAT too easily; I don't think they've had many hit shows (that stay hits) since that splash they had a few years ago with Desperate Housewives/Lost/Grey's Anatomy/Ugly Betty. Revenge and Nashville haven't done as well as OUAT (although I could be wrong about Revenge).

They aren't through the ceiling no, but certainly not low enough to be cancelled. I think (and hope) it still has a lot of clout left in it yet ! Though I don't want them to get too split between Once Wonderland and this show..... presuming they won't be in direct competition with eachother ? Still not warming to Once Wonderland, will definitely give it a go though.

Just seen 'Welcome To Storybrook'....wow, what an episode.

Regina is such a damaged character; this episode just shows how broken she is, and how desperately she needs love. Really made me feel for her. Henry is getting on my nerves slightly ... I knows he has been through a lot, but think he is being overly harsh on Emma.

The twist with Snow was fantastic as well.

Just wanted to mention that I started this show twice before, and only made it to about Episode 7 before giving up, both times. When I was in WDW two weeks ago, however, I just had the urge to start watching it, and now I'm on the seventh episode of Season 2. I don't love it, but it's definitely fun and entertaining, and I'm looking forward to the introduction of Neverland and Ariel in S3!

Yes, but I would rather watch them on my TV instead.

Reba's Joanna Garcia-Swisher has been cast as Ariel.

I like her, but I was hoping they'd go with a teenage Ariel!

That is literally the worst person they could've cast. So the plan for every princess to suck on this show is complete. (Well, no, I liked their Cinderella, that's about it.)

Yeah, their casting of the Disney princesses has not been great.

She's very pretty, but I don't know her from Adam, so can't really comment.

I wonder why there is so much hype for Ariel to appear on the show ? I'm not complaining, but she seems to be the one people have been begging for.

I think it's because just about all the other iconic princesses have been on the show already.
