Wait a second, does that mean King George is alive in Storybrooke? I thought he was dead!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds awesome!
Alan Dale in Storybrooke, yay. Love that guy.
ReplyDeleteI think he's just going to be in fairytale world somehow. He must be dead otherwise how would Charming and Snow get the castle?
ReplyDeleteThat was my first thought too!!! It's funny how the spoilers are now leaving me with more questions.
ReplyDelete@C P: The fact that it says District Attorney Albert Spencer/King George means that he's alive and well in storybook. So somehow, he forgives Charming!
Bailee Madison as young Snow White YAY I love this little girl <3
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for this fairytale backstory ever since I started watching the show. Finally we're about to find out what happened Regina's true love and how it got ripped away from her. Lana Parrilla''s amazing acting will probably reduce me to a sobbing mess before the episode is through. Good to know the creative geniuses themselves wrote this episode!
ReplyDeleteSo, I guess Regina chooses true love and it ends badly for her anyway?
ReplyDeleteGiven that Noah Bean is listed as "Daniel/stable boy", does that mean he's alive in Storybrooke?
ReplyDeleteWhere there's Alan Dale, hopefully there is an Easter egg for Maccutcheon!
ReplyDeleteShouldn't Charming be forgiving him for all the attempts on his life and threatening his mother?
ReplyDeleteI for sure know I'm going to be a mess.
ReplyDeleteWill be very interesting to see Regina/Evil queen's back story.
ReplyDeleteRichard, Alan, and Barbara so damn sweet i can hardly breath!.I am so freakin excited for this episode! Aaaaggggg! I love eet!
ReplyDeleteSo King George is alive in Storybrooke?! That's interesting. Maybe he can finally find some peace with David in our world... And there's Bailee Madison! She's great;)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about that too, but I think it's more of a "a stable boy named Daniel" kind of thing. Everything we've heard about him so far from Regina, Maleficent and Henry Mills Sr. comes down to him being dead and Regina being unable to get him back, no matter how powerful her magic may be. But since names are always important on this show, I wonder what the writers are trying to tell us in this case. My first thought was biblical Daniel in the lions' den.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see this episode.
ReplyDeleteShe cut down Regina's apple tree
ReplyDeleteYou're probably right...but then again Rumple is very convinced his Belle is dead so there may be the tiniest bit of a chance the same goes for Regina's love. Probably I'm too romatically-minded lol
ReplyDeleteI'm a romantic at heart too. :) And I really want Regina to find some happiness. We shall have to wait and see. Maybe the writers will drop a few hints if there's still a chance for Daniel and Regina to reunite in Storybrooke throughout this episode.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to see a softer Regina and why she hates Snow.
ReplyDeleteIt will be great to see King George in Storybrook....
ReplyDeleteTony Perez is also listed as 'valet/father' in the same way but it's just another way of identifying him since we know he's dead because Regina killed him.
ReplyDeleteI smell an Emmy nomination for Lana Parilla based on this episode.
ReplyDeleteThis should be an amazing episode!
ReplyDeleteYeah is king George dead or alive?
ReplyDeleteYikes, so does this confirm that Kathryn WAS actually murdered? Or are they talking about the town's assumption? I hope she's not dead.. that would be sad.. I liked her! Well, there's always Abigail, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteTrue that, Courtney.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what The Evil Queen's real name before she became The Evil Queen is. It says "Regina must choose" but that's her Storybrooke name.
ReplyDeleteRegina's her real name, too. That was confirmed a few episodes ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know! *hugs*
