Once upon a time returns in Late September

[Disneyfanman]

OUAT is back on the last Sunday in September. Although I stuck with it to the end last year, I really felt like they lost their way. It went from Destination TV to something I tried to catch. All of that aside I am really looking forward to the show returning. I'm hoping that they can catch some of the spirt from Season 1 in which I couldn't wait until the next two episode arrived. Is anyone else looking forward to its return?

I love Hook! Not too sure on the direction of the show but I will be tuning in for a bit at least.

 

[Genie of the Lamp]

Yeah, last season was hit/miss for me. I liked Hook as well, but felt they kind of took a couple steps back with Regina after the great character development they had with her in season 1. But I have faith in the team behind the project and believe they'll come out on top. I tell you what though, I am very excited about the Once Upon a Time In Wonderland spinoff show as I feel that has the potential to top the original.

 

[Disneyfanman]

Yeah, Regina's development as a character was erratic. Good or bad, wise or stupid. It kept changing and I couldn't figure out what they were thinking. I felt like the producers were bi-polar. Hopefully that changes.

I'm looking forward to the new season. I'm on the same page as the rest of you - I was back & forth last season with how I felt about things. But I did love the season finale, so I'm excited to see the premiere.

YEA!

And what about Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, coming in October!

 

[pluto77]

Yes I am excited! Although, I do agree with everyone that season 2 was kind if hit and miss. They messed up Regina's character, but not bad enough that it can't be fixed if they do a better job with season 3. I'm looking forward to Neverland!

I am also excited to see how Once Upon a Time in Wonderland turns out. Supposedly it takes place in the same universe, and we might even see some crossover between the characters (like Cora as the Queen of hearts in flashbacks and I read somewhere that Regina might even make an appearance.

Seeing the promos for once upon a time in wondrland at my work look very good! Have not heard of any crossovers just yet, but jut like Once lots of fairy tale characters all mixed up into wondrland! The 2 villians in the show are the queen of hearts (not Regina) and Jafar from Aladdin! Can't wait till both premiere!

 

[pluto77]

The villain they show in the previews is actually The Red Queen, not the queen of hearts. A lot of people are confused about that. I think the 2 main villains are The Red Queen and Jafar (that's what they show on IMDB, as being cast, so far too). The producers said early on that they want to bring the actress back that played Cora (who was the queen of hearts in once upon a time) to be the queen of hearts in this show if they can fit her into any of the episodes and if they can get the actress back.

I am excited that Naveen Andrews is playing Jafar though! That will be interesting to see how he fits in.

I just found this website that has some "spoilers" of some new characters and what to expect in season 3 of OUAT, and season one of OUAT in wonderland.

I probably wont watch it as new episodes first air, it's been demoted to "watch it via streaming" status. What I got really tired of was the constant fighting over Henry. Same thing for the new Wonderland spinoff.

Keith David is going to be voicing the Cheshire Cat. That alone puts it on my "must watch new episodes as soon as possible" list.

 

[Disneyfanman]

Just saw the premier, and despite some character inconsistencies, I liked it better than just about any of last year's episodes. The tone and action were really effective! It gives me much hope for the season.

The two biggest issues for me last year were the characters inconsistent behavior and the soap-opera like pacing. Regina was particularly frustrating. I'm hoping that both issues are addressed. So far (one episode in) it's better. I also really liked the Peter Pan character. It left me wanting more.

We'll done OUAT!

 

[RandomPrincess]

I like it overall as well. The Peter Pan reveal wasn't a surprise to me but I liked the actor.
