OUAT 5x05: "Dreamcatcher"

Hey guys! Sorry it took me so long to upload this post-this week has been kind of hectic for me again. Anyway, here's my view on last Sunday's episode of OUAT!!

DISCLAIMER: If you have not watched this episode and do not want it to be spoiled for you, DO NOT READ ON.

Ok so basically, I am really mad at Emma. I can't believe she would actually break her own son's heart by telling the girl he likes to reject him and utterly humiliate him. Honestly, Henry and Violet are such a cute couple, and Emma had to just ruin it. However, when Violet kissed him at the end of the episode, he definitely deserved it. You had to watch it to understand.

On a different note, I think that Merida could be Rumple's salvation. She is the only one who's trying to push him to be less of a coward, while everyone else just sort of accepted him in all of his dreadfulness, including Belle.

And, can we please acknowledge the fact that Emma took everyone's memories using dream catchers?! I mean, dream catchers, or "fly paper for nightmares", have always meant a lot to Emma, considering the fact that Neal gave her one long ago. Don't get me wrong, I am the ultimate CaptainSwan shipper, but Swanfire/Swanthief (Emma + Neal) hits me right in the feels every time.

Oh, I forgot to mention one little thing: Merlin was freed from the tree!! I already love Merlin, and I am dying to know why he isn't in Storybrooke. Hopefully, we will get more information in the next episode.

So that about wraps up my opinion on the most recent episode. Don't forget to watch Once Upon a Time tomorrow at 8 pm PST on ABC!

OUAT 5x04: "The Broken Kingdom"

Hi I'm back with my review on Sunday's episode of Once Upon a Time!!

Disclaimer: If you have not watched this episode and do not want it spoiled for you, then DO NOT read on. 

Ok so I'm just going to come right out and say it: I hate Arthur. He's a manipulative, obsessed, back stabber who can not handle any form of rejection. So basically, we get a flashback where Arthur pulled the sword out of the stone and then he became super obsessed with finding the missing piece (Dark One's dagger). He became so occupied with trying to solve Merlin's riddle that he payed zero attention to Guinevere. Guinevere and Lancelot went off to find the dagger themselves and ended up falling in love, but then Arthur got all mad. Excuse me Arthur, but what exactly do you expect to happen when you don't pay attention to your wife and make her feel like a stupid sword is more important to you than her?

Anyway, so this next part is kind of weird. Arthur used this sand from Avalon that "fixes" broken things, so he used it on Guinevere to supposedly "fix" their broken marriage, which just put Gwen in this weird trance where she was forced to love him. Ugh, I hate him so much. 

So now, for everyone's favorite, CaptainSwan. Okay, this ship flew sky high in this episode-I mean, they were absolutely adorable. So first, Henry shows Emma and Hook this secret hideout sort of place that Violet showed him, and Hook got so excited, teasing Henry about "first love". Then, Hook told Emma that the only way she was going to get Rumple's image out of her head was to not leave any room for him to occupy her thoughts. So, the two of them went horse back riding and it actually warmed my shipper heart.

Also, a little side note: ARTHUR USED THE SAND ON SNOW AND DAVID SO NOW THEY'RE ENCHANTED TO TRUST HIM AND AHHH THAT IS SO NOT GOOD!!!

And (in present day), Emma is trying to make Rumple this brave hero so that he can pull Excalibur from the stone from her. To do so, Emma is going to make Merida train him to be a hero. So there goes that.

So basically, I'm  freaking out over everything and I just can't wait until the next episode in two days. Another side note: it would really be great if more people watched OUAT live because the viewer rates are dropping, and if they get too low, then ABC is going to cancel the show, and that can NOT happen.

So tune in on Sunday at 8 pm PST for Once Upon a Time on channel 7, ABC.

OUAT 5x03: "Siege Perilous"

Hey guys sorry it's taken me so long to update about last Sunday's episode. I've been very busy this week. 

Disclaimer: If you have not watched this episode and do not want to have it spoiled for you, DO NOT READ ON. 

Ok I'm not going to lie, the last episode was kind of a let-down. After the first two intense episodes of the season, it was just a bit of a disappointment. 

A lot of people are hating on CaptainSwan because Hook told Emma that he loved her, in past tense. Yes, that did ruin the current progress of their relationship, but I am actually really proud of Hook. 

He chose to stay strong and not let his feelings cloud his judgement. He is choosing to save Emma from the darkness first before loving her, and refusing to believe that she is truly evil. This is very much the opposite of what  Belle did when faced with Rumple. She let her love for him blind her, so he was able to take advantage of her over and over again.

As for David and Arthur, there is much surprise there. I really loved Arthur, he's my favorite character from Camelot, and his bromance with David is just awesome, but I'm so disappointed that Arthur is lying to everyone and betraying them. Although, I can sort of understand where he's coming from because he just wants to protect his kingdom from potential threats. 

There's also Lancelot, who appears at the end of the episode to warn Snow about Arthur's deceit. However, we found out in season 2 that Lancelot was "killed" but apparently that's not the case. I, for one, think that someone else with magic is pretending to be him, just as Cora had. 

 

Also, I am very disappointed in Emma for using Hook to get a sword so she could wake Rumple. Since Rumple's heart is a blank slate, Emma wants to mold him into a hero so he can pull Excalibur from the stone. 

As for Regina and Zelena, I think Regina is being way to hard on Zelena. Of course, I think Zelena did a very very bad thing, but Regina is denying her another chance, when she got unlimited chances herself. 

Anyways, I want to see what happens next episode, and I'll update about it as soon as I get the chance. Once Upon a Time is on this Sunday at 8 on ABC.

OUAT 5x02 "The Price"

GUYS OUAT SEASON 5 EPISODE TWO WAS SO INTENSE OMG!!! I'm not going to lie, it was less intense than the premiere last week, but it was still pretty epic.

DISCLAIMER: If you have not watched this episode do not read on as it will contain major spoilers.

Ok so obviously, first we have to talk about the CaptainSwan (Emma and Hook) and OutlawQueen (Robin and Regina) in this episode. 

OutlawQueen was cute as always and it warmed my heart, except for the part where that stupid knight, Percival, tried to kill Regina, so Robin fought him off and almost died. However, I have to be honest. When we came back to present time in Storybrooke and Robin was about to die, everyone (Regina, Mary Margaret, David, and Leroy) attempted to give their lives to save Robin, but that magical evil thing couldn't handle it, so it left and all was well. I just think that that little stunt was a bit stupid because 4 lives in exchange for 1 seems like a pretty crappy trade.

Now for CaptainSwan, my main OTP (One True Pairing). So back in Camelot (six weeks ago), there was a ball that everyone was invited to. After the ball, Robin got hurt and Emma had to use her magic to save him. However, using this dark magic, it began to make her dizzy, and she sort of fell into Hook's arms. Brace yourselves. They had this really really cute moment where they kissed and Snow and Charming were just awkwardly looking at them. When we come to present day in Storybrooke, Hook wanted to use true love's kiss to lift the Dark One's spell from Emma. He went to her house and they shared a passionate kiss, but Hook was disappointed because nothing happened. Way to go Adam and Eddy, take a perfectly amazing OTP moment and turn it into something bad.

So let's gloss over some other stuff that happened (I'll promise I'll make it quick). All the people from Camelot (King Arthur, Guinevere, etc.) also came over from the curse that Emma placed on everyone, causing them to forget the last six weeks. Henry met a new girl named Violet, so here we have another blossoming OTP. Back in Camelot, Regina told Arthur that she was the savior, and now (in Storybrooke) Emma is telling her that Storybrooke needs a new savior to solve their problems, and that no one believes Regina is capable. Emma tried to pull Excalibur out of its stone in her basement, but Rumple (who's just a voice inside her head) told her that she is no longer a hero, and only a hero can yield it. Blah blah blah, Merlin is stuck in an enchanted tree, etc. etc. 

I'm going to post the 5x03 promo video, but let me give you a heads up. In the promo, Emma is talking to Hook and she says, "Do you love me? If you tell me you don't love me, I will let you go." GUYS I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP!!!!!

Anyway, that's all for now. Watch Once Upon a Time on Sunday at 8 pm on ABC! :)

Disclaimer: This post is not counted as one of my weekly posts, so if you are over-viewing my blog, please just skip ahead. There are just some things I would like to clear up with my viewers.

It has come to my attention that I might use a lot of abbreviations/acronyms that many people are not familiar with. From now on, I'll try to clarify what I'm talking about the first time I use an acronym. The two acronyms that I'll clear up right now for some of my duller viewers are HP and OUAT.

Yes, HP is a computer brand, and it's quite good if I may add. (Please note that I'm not sponsoring or advertising them in any way) However, if you haven't figured it out by now, HP stands for Harry Potter and OUAT stands for Once Upon a Time.

Now that we've gotten all that out of the way, hopefully you'll be able to view my blog with less confusion and more clarity. Thanks!

Everything Wrong with the HP Movies Part 2

Disclaimer: I actually love the HP movies and all credits to JK Rowling and Warner Brothers. There's just so many things the movies got wrong.

Part 2: Peeves

• If you have only watched the Harry Potter movies and did not read the books, you will have no idea who Peeves is.
• Peeves is the poltergeist of the school, and basically pranks everyone he sees.
• The only people that Peeves listened to were the Bloody Baron and Fred and George Weasley.
• Peeves was present in every single book and was not in a single movie.
• His best moments were in OotP, but obviously we never got to see him in action on the big screen.

Personally, I never have understood why movie script writers change so many things in the transition from book to movie. In a book, you basically have all the dialogue and action, play by play written out in front of you, so it makes no sense to stray from that. It would obviously be way too much work to recreate all of the movies, though, seeing as all eight took about 10 years to produce. See, the thing is even though it would be longer, I would much rather watch a three to four hour movie that completely followed the book.

ONCE UPON A TIME SEASON 5 PREMIERE

OH MY GOSH GUYS THAT WAS THE MOST EPIC THING I HAVE EVER SEEN EVER!!!

IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE SEASON 5 PREMIERE DO NOT READ ON BECAUSE THERE WILL BE MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!!!

In case you didn't figure already, I am freaking out so much. That season premiere was so intense!!!!!! Premiere recap, ready, go!

Ok so at the beginning, everyone was trying to find a way to get to the Emma because she disappeared, and we saw Emma in the Enchanted Forest trying to figure out how to get to Merlin to get some answers. Rumple appears in Emma's mind since he is the old Dark One, and he was trying to influence her to give in to the darkness. While on the way to find Merlin, Rumple tells Emma that she needs a wisp to guide her, so she bumps into Merida who, coincidentally, needed it as well.

Back in Storybrooke, Regina found a way to get to Emma, but they needed dark and light potential to fuel the wand. Hook and Regina got into this fight, Hook saying that they needed Zelena's wickedness to get to Emma, but Regina refused. Hook and Henry went behind her back and sneaked into the asylum to break Zelena out. Zelena took Hook's mini dagger, cut off her own hand so the magic-blocking bracelet thing would come off, and then she disappeared. She's a psychopath, I know.

Zelena went after Robin and took him hostage, trying to get Regina to hand over the wand so she could safely go back to Oz alone. Eventually, the entire gang tricked Zelena, and they used the power of the wand to transport Granny's Diner to the Enchanted Forest.

Meanwhile, Emma was told by Rumple that if Merida used the wisp before her, she wouldn't be able to use it until Merida died. She was  this close to crushing her heart, she was literally holding it in her hand, until her family and Hook showed up and stopped her. Naturally, this was a mega OTP moment for me, seeing as Emma and Hook were hugging and holding hands and everything, so basically I was excitedly yelling at the TV about how cute they were while my mom just awkwardly sat next to me and watched.

Emma gave the Dark One's dagger to Regina, trusting that if it ever became necessary, she could trust her to destroy her without clouded judgment. When the gang walked back to Granny's Diner, King Arthur showed up and told them that Merlin had known they would come eventually. Arthur and his knights took Mary Margaret, David, Emma, Hook, Henry, Robin, Regina, Roland, etc. to Camelot and to the castle. It was all good. Until.....

The scene blacked out and there was a time jump to six weeks later. The entire gang was back in Storybrooke, but they were all wearing medieval clothing. None of them remembered what happened after they were taken to the castle, just like the Missing Year from season 3. 

Then Emma shows up, completely decked out in black leather. She tells her parents and everyone else that whilst they had gone to the Enchanted Forest/Camelot to take the darkness away from her, they had actually failed. So basically, I screamed at the TV like a banshee on fire.

Regina reached for the dagger, knowing that now was the time to control the darkness, but grabbed at air. Emma held the dagger in front of her face, teasing with the darkness. 

Ready for the most heartbreaking part? Killian said, "Emma, why are you doing this?" with the most hurt expression ever, and Emma replied with, "Because...I'm the Dark One." And I swear to you that is the moment I died because just looking at Killian's heartbroken face was enough to shatter my soul. He had spent centuries trying to find a way to destroy the Dark One, and now found himself in the position that the Dark One was his true love, containing all the darkness. I'm not even exaggerating.

You know, I was completely fine, everyone was happy, and then BAM! A bomb is dropped on the entire fandom so we can slowly go insane for the next seven days. Thanks a lot, Adam and Eddy.

Anyway, I know I must have sounded completely insane, but it's the truth. I am just in so much emotional pain right now and the suspense is already killing me. Watch Once Upon a Time next Sunday at 8 on ABC, and you'll know what I'm talking about. :/
