Once Upon a Time - Season 7 Prospects

[LindaM]

Jennifer, Jared, and Colin shot a scene on the harbor yesterday and filming is continuing today.  Yes, aboard the Jolly Roger.

If you pull up the poster, you will see the following "Easter eggs" hidden.  SOme of them I don't fully understand.

White Rabbit -- back to Wonderland?
Slipper -- Cinderella
Owl
Lily -- Tiger Lily???
Whale/Aladdin's Lamp -- can't get this one big enough to be sure.

I may have missed some.

Some decent news at last!

New Hero arises:  Only can be Lucy.

Henry calls for help and Rumple, Regina and Hook show up.  Regina in denim, Hook as police. My guess:  Lucy goes missing and he has to find her.

And it seems to have headed in a bad direction for ONCE at first at Comic Con.

A plot hole -- seems to me you could drive a semi truck through it.

[LindaM]

My guess on what happens:

Henry goes off on an adventure
Finds another land with Cindy and this time her stepmother is a witch.
Evil step-sister (for Mary Queen of Scots) falls in love with Henry.
Henry and Cindy escape to another land but the step mom tracks them down.
Cindy disappears after giving birth to Lucy.
Henry and Lucy escape and hide.

During all this, Hook, Regina, and Rumple come to his aid and the curse strikes and all reappear in our world.

Well...this is certainly looking like a trainwreck. I really do think sometimes that the writers actively hate the fanbase and do crap to upset them on purpose. 

[LindaM]

Well, I don't know what actually happens.  It's all guess work on my part.  I'm betting the President of ABC wants the show cancelled and working behind the scenes to see that it happens.  Loyal Reign fans may come over but I doubt they'll stay.

Sneak Peek:  Hate no mention of Emma as Henry leaves.

I call the interviews now "damage control."  Cindy's stepmother is just like Cora...so who is Regina?

Good grief this all sounds so bad. Count me in as thinking that re-doing Cinderella is a dumb idea and that Emma & Regina would never let Henry leave on an adventure alone as a teenager and basically all the other complaints in the comment section. btw the comment section at least made me smile because inside it I saw my own reflection. I hope like half the budget went into Robert Carlyle's pocket because that check must've been HUGE to keep him sailing on this sinking ship. Lana and Colin I feel like have been happy with the show (if you can believe that) and would've signed on for less if asked.

[LindaM]

I just have a feeling that it and Agents of SHIELD are a sinking ship.  The question is for how long will ABC President stick by her word.  She's an idiot who thinks 1950s and 1970s game shows will bring viewers back.  They're fleeing Candy Crush from what I hear.

[LindaM]

And Gideon is back.

Well this is unexpected news. I guess that confirms a time jump of at least twenty years (Lucy's age + a few years was the only guess available before now) if he's coming back as his adult self. I do wonder if they're going to jump this far in the future whether Belle will be allowed to age or if her continued youth will be hand-waved over like Hook's.

At least in her case I could believe it because being married to The Dark One has to have some perks after all.

I wonder if Belle and Rumple will have any more children? My guess is no, but I would like to see them with a big brood of bookworms. Rumple, for all his faults, is an excellent father after all. 

[LindaM]

If they kill Emma, the angry fans will get them.  I wonder if Horowritz or Kitz realizes this.

[Outlast]

Granted I haven't read much about season seven recently, but I haven't heard even a whisper that they would kill off Emma. That would be a shockingly bad decision at this point. Although given the Once writers...all crap is possible.
