Yeah, I have watched both seasons and will be watching the spin-off show too.

It's a good show and season 3 should be fun. It's clearly a gimmick series and never going to be considered groundbreaking, but it's a nice 40 minute time sink once a week

*Raph's Girl* · 09-17-2013, 04:49 PM

Prince Eric has been cast! He will be played by Supernatural actor Gil McKinney! Both Ariel and Eric will first pop up in the 6th episode of season 3.

Once Upon A Time. it's a tv series on ABC. Basically all the Disney characters live in this town in Maine.

There's characters from various fairy tales, legends, novels (Dr. Frankenstein is the town Doctor. *lol*), Disney movies (Pongo from 101 Dalmations is the pet of Jiminy Cricket who's the town Psychiatrist), ect.

1st couple seasons the main baddies were Regina (the wicked queen from Snow White) and Rumplestilskin. Season 3 the baddie is uh...well not sure but I wouldn't trust Peter Pan.

There's also a spin-off called Once In Wonderland. Jafar and the Red Queen are the main baddies.

Keep in mind these aren't 100% "Disney-fied" characters. True, they give some cute little nods to Disney here and there (like the dwarves off-handedly whistling the tune from the classic film), but these characters definitely have their own spin and take on these fairy tales that aren't always pure fluff and singing forest animals.

I am SO excited for season three, but hell, I still haven't caught up on season two yet! I watch this show with my sister (and now my dad that we've roped him into being just as obsessed with it as we are) and we have a habit of not being able to just watch one episode at a time. So when we sit down for a 3-4 episode marathon we have to make sure there's TIME

Still, it usually takes a lot for me to follow these kinds of shows since I'm just not that interested in watching a lot of tv in general, but this show managed to hook me pretty much immediately.

No. Cora is the Queen of Hearts, the Red Queen is an entirely different character.

*Zachatello00* · 09-21-2013, 08:41 PM

ah. yes. Another question, my wife and I are arguing about this...

No we haven't seen him yet.

*Raph's Girl* · 09-22-2013, 01:09 AM

But there IS a picture of Tinker Bell out and about. She was friends with Regina at one point:

She's played by Rose McIver (Power Rangers RPM Yellow Ranger) and will first appear in the 3rd ep of the season.

*Zachatello00* · 09-23-2013, 08:01 AM

Cool. I didn't think we had. But she was convinced that was him.

I like Tink's look. Anxious to see how they portray Ariel.

Well you're in luck! The first images of Ariel are now available! I just can't tell who she's dancing with. Kinda looks like David/Prince Charming but it's probably Eric (they kinda look alike to me). There's a big chance that Regina will be Ursula!

*Zachatello00* · 09-23-2013, 10:23 PM

awesome! you're on it!

*Raph's Girl* · 10-17-2013, 10:15 PM

So in the previews for this week's ep of Once Upon A Time in Wonderland I knew we'd finally see Agrabah. I was all excited to see what the palace looked like and stuff. Instead.... We get this...thing...

WTF Disney?! W...T...F?!

*Raph's Girl* · 10-27-2013, 08:43 PM

After watching the promo for next week's ep of Once Upon A Time I just have to say.... Ursula looks AWESOME!!

*Raph's Girl* · 11-01-2013, 10:25 AM

Whoopi Goldberg has been cast as the wife of the white rabbit (who's voiced by John Lithgow) for Once In Wonderland!! Well now that'll be interesting. Wonder if they have dozens of kids?

So Regina is Ursula?

Yep! Also there's rumours of Cruela De Vile and Rapunzel showing up at some point.

I've been wanting Cruela to appear since the series started. She just HAS to since Pongo has been in the show since the first episode.

*Donatello19* · 11-01-2013, 04:03 PM

URSULA IS IN THIS? OMG!

How the heck did I not know about this? It doesn't seem like Disney's promoting it at all.
