I just hope this time doesn´t happen like the whole Neverland story that didn´t move the story along and that, besides introducing new characters eventually, that they recover Aurora, Phillipe and Mulan. It´s a whole shame what´s been done to these characters. If they were going to use them like this better not have used them at all.
And by the way, seems like Ariel and Eric have suffered the same fate as well.
I just watched the show for the first time last night. I don't have a clue what's going on other then Elsa causing trouble in storybrooke. What happened to Aurora and Phillip? Looks like Elsa's dress still hasn't melted.
Well then, go back and start watching from the First Season. This is a series that´s not as easy as to start watching just now. It´s a story that not only move forwards the main plot but that continues to go backwards in flashbacks (similar to Lost if you watched that series) to further explains the lives of the characters. So you´ll feel completely lost.
Besides, look at it from a bright perspective: you´ll have LOTS of episodes to watch and enjoy until you reach what´s currently going on.
Regarding my comment, what happened to those characters was that they were introduced and then completely forgot about them.
PS
Hans, really? Now, that´s a character I can live without.

I just read the wikipedia article and it sounds like they need to find whoever cursed the town and kill them. From what I have read they should end it after the fourth season and not drag it on for season after season till it jumps the shark. You should watch more anime cause they last usually one season and the story ends. They don't do cliffhangers like stupid idiot producers in the US do.
Just caught the episode now. The casting choices for Anna and Elsa impressed me. I was a bit annoyed that Elsa seemed to not recognize Rumple in the photograph and instead focused on Anna's necklace. I really hope they don't forget the whole reason that Elsa is now in Storybrooke is because Hook and Emma brought her back accidentally from her imprisonment in Rumple's vault. I really want to know how she ended up there, but already the timeline seems to be off. Unless Elsa was imprisoned in that Urn relatively close to the time that Regina had Marian executed then the events in Arendelle should have happened years before Snow and Regina's feud began which would make Anna significantly older than most of the other cast at this point should they all meet up. I have a feeling though that Hans could end being very important to how Elsa ended up where she did. I will have to go back and watch the season three finale again, but that photo of him carrying that urn has me wondering if that is the same one Elsa came out of.
Honestly last night's CGI was the best it has ever been on the show. Compared to Maleficent as a Dragon and Regina as Ursula, Marshmallow and Pabbie were absolute marvels.
Loved the new look of the Sorcerer's hat. I have a feeling that Yensid could be our book author as well. Definitely feel as though they are setting up Henry to become the Sorcerer's Apprentice. Perhaps he will have the power to give Regina her happy ending?
Nice to see Sydney Glass back as well, but it feels like they have forgotten he was Aladdin's Genie. I didn't watch Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, but I remember hearing he was on that show as well. Did he have his Genie powers there? I'll have to look into that.
The Netflix reference was probably the cutest product placement I have ever seen. How Emma resists that man I will never know...
Overall very happy with our premier. Can't wait to see how it plays out.

I think the fact that Elsa didn't seem to recognize Rumple in that photograph is another clue that he may not have been the one to put her in there. And now with that picture of Hans carrying an urn, I'm pretty sure he was the one who put her there or had something to do with it.
Also, the next episode has Anna meeting Charming/David when he still lived with his mother as a farmer. So that should place the Frozen storyline long before Charming and Snow met and possibly at the time when Snow still lived in the castle with Regina. So if Elsa gets trapped in that urn around that time she would still be trapped when Snow and Charming met.

Remember that Wikipedia can be written by anyone.
I don´t think the show will end just now.
Why?
They just did Once Upon a Time in Wonderland last year. And the idea behind that spin off was an experiment to see if they could do these kind of stories based on the original series. So, if that was what they had in mind, how come will they end the show just now?

Nope he wasn't in Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. That focused on another genie from Agrahabah

Things are getting a little cold on Once Upon a Time – downright Frozen, in fact.
awesome, Im glad he's being included in this, as they are ignoring him in everything else. I wonder if he'll have anything to do with Elizabeth Mitchel's character.
The new season opener was satisfying on a lot of levels, the CG was quite good for a TV show and the Beauty and the Beast scene was touching. The mystery of Elsa and Anna's story is really interesting that it just grabs you.

It's the same time over and over. Drag some new characters into the mix each season instead of killing Regina who is causing all the trouble for the fairy tale characters when she should be dead cause in the snow white story the evil queen died.
DC Fan wrote:And by the way, seems like Ariel and Eric have suffered the same fate as well.
To be fair, the same could be said for most characters. It's scheduling. They mentioned it in a season 3 commentary. That's why most of the regular secondary characters don't appear much, and a couple from Season 1 haven't returned at all. I actually nearly forgot that Grumpy had a love interest.

This is not really the same character. Not even close, actually. What episode are you on? Just keep watching.
Regina took all the characters happy endings and memories away. Stupid show with stupid premise ruining fairy tales. The writer will probably turn out to be dead.
Bradhig, this TV show is like "what if this is how the fairy tales really happened"? It isn't how they really happened, but it's like "what if" they did.
Great episode! I loved the wedding dress! I feel Elsa's train should be of the same material as her sleeves, as I thought it was in the movie. Maybe it wasn't. Kristoff is very cute! I'm very interested in the Frozen storyline and the other characters' as well. I loved the Beauty and the Beast dance and the Sorcerer's hat! I'm not happy with Regina going back to evil though. I thought maybe she'd just do some working around her situation. Not re-write the other characters lives, much like what she did with the curse in the first place! Glad to see the magic mirror back though!
But hey, I forget, how did Emma get her magic back, when it was taken from her by Zelena's spell and Hook's kiss in the last season?
Is Rumpelstiltskin planning to kill Belle? I keep thinking that when I see that dagger he has. If I had children wouldn't let them watch this cause it's too disturbing. The main character need to hold Regina at gunpoint until she undoes the curse and lets everyone have their lives and memories back. It's sad the princesses started having children when the curse hit. I like to mess with fairy tales I am working on a fanfic similar to an old movie the Final Countdown in which a carrirer gets caught in a freak storm and time warps back to the 14th century encountering the characters of Sleeping Beauty. Imagine Maleficent fighting F/A 18s yet the happy ending is still there. Now they are reverting Disney versions of fairy tales with the Frozen. Elsa probably will get brainwashed like all the fairy tale characters did and never see her sister again and the series gets canceled abruptly with no resolution to the main conflict just like a show I liked called Revolution that just got canceled without the power being restored.
Bradhig, Rumplestiltskin has the dagger to control his own powers, not kill Belle. No good characters should kill Regina because that is not the good thing to do. They should only kill if they have to, in self defense. Besides, the curse is over and everyone does have there memories and lives back for now. They just haven't gone back to the Enchanted Forest yet for some reason.
I wish theyd pick 5 new characters to focus on(Emma staying as the central character). Im sick of Charming-Snow-Regina-Hook-Rumple drama. It just keeps going in circles. How many times are we going to see Regina and Rumple relapse into evil then be good again etc...

Yeah... I don't think that's going to happen to OUAT. It's the only hit of its Sunday line-up right now that isn't on its last legs.
Listening to most often lately:
Taylor Swift ~ ~ "The Fate of Ophelia"
Taylor Swift ~ "Eldest Daughter"
Taylor Swift ~ "CANCELLED!"

Maybe not now but sometime in the future it could get canceled abruptly. Good to hear the curse is gone cause my idea of a time traveler scooping up Snow ,Cinderella , Aurora ,the princes ,etc ahead of the curse and threatening to nuke Regina before she could use the cure if she didn't dump it isn't needed now. I just can't stand Regina she's a big whiner.
Once got big ratings for the premiere, major yay !
And also, a fan tweeted Lana and said it was such a shame its been taken off UK TV, and Lana tweeted back that she heard it was returning ! I've googled but I can't find any info on it, has anyone else heard anything ?
) actor joins the OUAT cast.
