ABC Verify Your Provider

… unless we subscribe to a limited choice of cable providers or to Hulu Prime.

That’s really annoying.

Henry, looking a lot more grown up

Henry, looking a lot more grown up

I thought it was smart of the writers to set the action ahead one year. They needed to have some way to account for Gennifer’s pregnancy and Jared’s growth spurt.

I wonder how important the “missing year” will be, though, in subsequent episodes, whether they will be doing a lot of flashbacks to fill in what happened or if they will just go full steam ahead. I suspect that once they establish how and why the Wicked Witch gained control of Fairytale Land, whatever else happened the rest of that year may not be that important. (Though I would like to know how Emma got her zillion-dollar Manhattan apartment on a bailbondswoman’s salary. Just kidding. It’s the usual movie and TV fantasy apartment.)

Wicked Witch from promo

ABC will be airing a one-hour special called Wicked is Coming starting at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 9, 2014 — that’s right before the first post-break episode airs at 8:00.

The special will feature interviews with cast members and producers (and, presumably, lots of clips from past shows). The official description: “The special will take a look at the role that family plays in the show, our heroes’ journey from breaking the curse to the ramifications of magic in our world, travelling to Neverland to save Henry from an evil Peter Pan, and their upcoming battle with The Wicked Witch of the West.”

The narrator is Dan Stevens from Downtown Abbey (which I still haven’t seen yet!).

The long (very long!) version of the press release is copied verbatim after the jump. (contains some spoilers) Continue reading →

Once Upon a Time is Coming Back on Sunday — How Many Cliffhanger Questions Will Be Answered?

Posted on March 4, 2014 | 12 comments
Emma saying goodbye, at the end of the last episode.

Emma saying goodbye, at the end of the last episode.

Just a reminder that Once Upon a Time is returning from its very long winter break on Sunday, March 9, 2014 at 8 p.m. The first post-hiatus episode will be 3×12 New York City Serenade.

As you may recall from the last episode, the show left us with a bunch of cliff-hangers and unanswered questions:

Will Emma recognize Hook? If she does, will she remember everything?

What was Hook trying to tell Emma? He said her family was in trouble — what kind of trouble?

How did Hook get back to our world anyway?

Why are Emma and Henry living in New York? Why are they listening to the same song that NealBae had on his iPod when he was in New York (at the start of Season 2)?

Did Storybrooke really disappear? If so, will it ever come back?

Did everyone (besides Emma and Henry) really go back to Fairy Tale Land? If so, what were things like there?

And of course …

Is Rumplestiltskin really dead? Is Pan?

I’m trying to remain mostly unpsoiled for the episode, but if you want to see some sneak peek photos, ABC has put some up.
