Once Upon a Time: Sinqua Walls returning as Lancelot in season 5

What Santi was busy?  Say it isn't so. lol

It's a shame he can't be in two places at once isn't it! Before there was Santi, there was Ioan!!!! I LOVED him in King Arthur!!




Then came our beloved Santi from Merlin!!






Yep! Those are my Lancelots!!!
I miss Ioan!!! I'm still in mourning! At least we will always have S1 of our Henry!!!

wednesday, I know this doesn't belong here, but I can't believe another network hasn't picked up Forever.  What a great series.

I'd love for Ioan to do Lancelot on OUAT.... he's such a great actor.

It's ok to say that! I'm the one that posted pics of Ioan and mentioned it! Sadly I don't think it's going to happen though.They've already cast Alana on another one of my favorite shows Scorpion. As happy as I will be to see her, it's still not going to be the same.Like Ioan said, Henry was the role of a lifetime!Nonetheless I hope he finds something else as amazing as he is because he totally deserves it.

SPOILER:

Any scoop on Once Upon a Time? I’m not particular, I’ll take anything! –Allison

I’m hearing that the season opener, not unexpectedly, will pick up right where the finale left off, with Emma having vanished after taunting the disembodied Darkness with the Dark One’s dagger. Where exactly the Savior was transported to, however, thus far remains a closely guarded secret (but hey, that’s what Comic-Con is for, amiright?) Also, it will be sooner rather than later that we meet King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

CASTING SCOOP: Once Upon a Time finds its King Arthur

Once Upon a Time first look: The Dark Swan rises!





Interesting

SPOILER:

How much will we see Maleficent and Lily on the new season of Once Upon a Time? — Jaimie

Because the focus is on Emma becoming the Dark One — did you see the awesome shots of the Dark Swan? — the hunt for Lily’s father will take a backseat for at least the first five episodes. “We intend to tell that story at some point this season,” EP Edward Kitsis says. “We set it up for a reason. That is one we are definitely intending to do.”

wednesday *hides* I still haven't watched TW

But when I do, i'll be sure to come back and answer them.

I'm thinking of just letting the eps pile up and then ill just binge watch.

My watchlist currently consists of;

Baby Daddy -15 unwatched episodes

Ballers - 2 unwatched episodes

Finding Carter -8 unwatched episodes

Teen Wolf - 2 unwatched episodes

Young & Hungry - 10 unwatched episodes

Remedy - 10 unwatched episodes

Trying to catch up on what i've missed.
But its a little hard when im trying to simultaneously rewatch Gilmore girls, and TVD -- and i have a bunch of movies on my list.

Currently the only thing i've been up to date with is PLL!

BUT ANYWAY - I FINALLY FINISHED OUAT!

IT took me awhile.

But okay it wasnt the best show ive watched

I thought it was a little to predicatble.

I hated teh Zelena stuff...and I hate that shell be a regular. I just can't see her as reginas sister---ever!

I predicted that Henry would be the new author.
I mean tthat was too obvious.

Other than that i just thought the entire storyline was a little lame.

You should be happy to know while i still absolutely dislike Emma and Hook...when Emma watches him die it was a little sad. Not that it melted my cold heart! BUt it made me a feel an inch of something.

However i just I STILL CAN"T SHIP THEM. I dunno i just DONT FEEL IT. AND ITS ANNOYING
CAUSE I LOVE EMMA
AND HER CHARACTER
AND I WANNA LOVE THE HOOK THING
BUT ITS NOT WORKING.

I HATE ABSOLUTELY HATE RUMBELLE AND MR GOLD AND I WISH HE HAD DIED
AND I HATE THAT BELLE IS TAKING HIM BACK

HE DOESNT DESERVE A HAPPY ENDING

Im a little interested about Emmas dark side....but honestly its been teased so much that i feel like once again, a predicatble move and not at all original.


I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REGINA AND EMMAS STORYLINE THEIR FRIENDSHIP

THEY ARE BOTH PERFECT!

Seriously the only reason I will continue to watch is becasue of those two characters.

I LOVE EMMA, I LOVE REGINA AND I LOVE REGINA AND ROBIN <3

BLESS! I LOVE HOW MUCH REGINA HAS GROWN THIS SEASON

SHE HAS DEFINITELY EARNED HER HAPPY ENDING!!!

SHE HAS SHOWN TO US SHES CHANGED WHILE MR GOLD HASNT SHOWN AN INCH OF CHANGE! #yes im bitter

Anyway i feel this rant has really gone on for too long so ill end here. let me know your thoughts!

I'll respond to your tv comments in the summer thread because I have a feeling that conversation might take on a life of it's own!

Well I wouldn't say it was the best season either, but I liked it more than the Frozen story. I don't know if you read my comments on that but I was never really a fan of the movie to begin with, BUT I did warm a little to Emma's friendship with Elsa towards the end. I am not a Snow and Charming fan no matter how hard I have tried so no offense to their fans. I understand about your feeling about Capt. Swan if you don't feel it you don't feel it. That's how I feel about Snow and Charming. I didn't like how they re-wrote their whole history and tried to make them the villains. All they managed to do for me was make me dislike them even more. I was rooting for Maleficent the whole time! I am glad that the scene of Hook dying was able to melt your cold heart though! Just a little! Love that comment! Cold heart!

The ladies of Darkness SL even ended up falling flat for me. I thought Cruella would be my favorite and she ended up being my least. I don't know why, she just annoyed me so I wasn't really sorry to see her go although I was pissed that Rumple manipulated Emma into killing her. I was a huge Rumple fan and I can't stand what the writers have done to his character! He had made a lot of progress in S3 after sacrificing himself to save everyone when he killed his father. I'm not happy about them having Belle take him back either after everything he did! It was too easy. He did nothing to earn it while Regina has fought tooth and nail this season. I will say this about Rumple. I like the EF version, not Mr. Gold! He cracks me up as his past self!
Don't get me started on Zelena!!!That after everything she did and was responsible for killing Neil that they'd have him work with her!!! She disgusts me!!! I don't buy that she's Regina's sister either and it disgusts me even further that they have her pregnant by Robin!!! Seriously I mean I know they want to throw obstacles between Robin and Regina, but that was the stupidest thing I've ever heard! I was looking forward to her's and Robin's story, but now not so much if I'm going to be forced to see Zelena on my screen! Maybe they'll do what they did with Will. Even though she's a regular we will only see her in a scene once in a while and she only has one or two lines!

That's another thing that really ticked me off! Why in the world did they ever bring him on the show! He got a happy ending with the woman he loved on Wonderland! They have never explained why he's in SB in the first place or what happened to Ana. Some people may not care, but for those of us who were fans of the show do because it was one of the best finales that tied everything up and they all got their HEA!!!So where Will is concerned I am a little bitter! I know he annoyed a lot of people on this show, but he was a fan favorite on the other. They said he was going to be a big part of this second half of the season and we never saw him. I just wanted a simple explanation. I'm not really wanting to see more of him next season. I just want an explanation for the nonsense and send him back to Wonderland where he belongs.

One of the things I was happy about was having August back. I was always a fan of his even though he made mistakes so I do hope he sticks around. I hope they don't turn him back into a little boy. I want to see him try to help them get Emma back since he does have some knowledge of things and I want to see him reunite with Geppetto as well.

I'm also looking forward to Maleficient and Lilly finding out who her father is. Do you think it could be Merlin? It would make sense. He's magical and everyone is always connected to someone somehow on this show.

I know you don't like Capt. Swan, but being that I am a fan I was a little disappointed that I didn't get more scenes of them together like we were promised. We had only a few moments here and there, but the writers said we'd get to see them as a couple and I felt cheated. I feel like the writers sometimes never fall through on their promises so now when they say things I'm going to take it with a grain of salt.

With all these new characters they have coming in for the new season I hope Emma's story doesn't get swept aside. She is the Dark One now and the focus should be on saving her. I also like her friendship with Regina as well. I want Hook to be the one to save Emma though since she was the one to save him from crossing over to the dark side again. Of course I want everyone working as a team, but I hope it's his love for her that breaks through to bring her back.

I know it may seem like I hate the show and there are some aspects that I do, but like you I watch it for certain people! It should be no surprise that it's Capt. Swan and Regina. They are one of my favorite couples (even though some of you don't get it on here which is fine, we can all agree to disagree) and I love Regina! She is just plain awesome!

How's that for a rant!!!Aren't you glad you asked!!

[wednesday]

“Happily ever after” has never been further out of reach. When Once Upon a Time—ABC’s fantasy series about fairy-tale characters—unveils its marketing campaign for Season 5 at Comic-Con, viewers’ worst fear will be confirmed: Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), aka the Savior, is poised to become the show’s scariest baddie yet. “As formidable as Emma was as a hero, she’s going to be exponentially more dangerous as a villain,” promises executive producer Adam Horowitz. Fellow executive producer Edward Kitsis adds with a laugh, “I hope our fanbase reacts well—it seems like a large segment is very worried!”

And with good reason. The September 27 premiere, titled “The Dark Swan,” will pick up moments after last May’s finale left off, as Emma allowed the evil spirits that were released from Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) to enter her body and transform her into the new Dark One. “The first thing Emma wants to do is get the darkness out,” Kitsis says. “But will she be able to resist taking a bite of the forbidden apple?”

Uh, that’d be a no, meaning that Emma’s nearest and dearest—including her son Henry (Jared Gilmore), true love Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) and enemy-turned-ally Regina (Lana Parrilla)— will be tasked with finding the mysterious sorcerer Merlin, the only one capable of breaking the curse. Hint: The gang should set their GPS for the Camelot of Arthurian legend—and be prepared to encounter some of its famed residents along the way. (Think King Arthur, Princess Guinevere, Sir Lancelot and the Knights of the Round Table.) “We’re excited to put our twist on these classic characters,” Kitsis says. “We love the origin stories!”

How's that for a rant!!!Aren't you glad you asked!!

Hahahah it's a very impressive rant! I on the other hand have to keep this quite succint. Don't have much time these days. 

Snow and charming - yeh the more i watch, the more i dislike them. I just don't like how they react and ughhh its not good cause i wanna like them but... No.

Cruellas storyline was weird and i dunno -- i hated how it ended -- but i thought her story was interesting. And I liked how the author took away her chance of killing people. It was a pretty good plot twist. 

Yeh rumples story line....this is what happens when you resurrect characters. It's not always the best thing to do. IF you've killed them off, it was for a reason.

I don't like the actress they chose for older lily...i just couldn't connect to her --- like i did with the younger lily. But im still interested in the father story line. I dont think it will be Merlin. I thoguht it would be to obvious. At first when the apprentice was talking, i was like oh yeh its gonna be the daddy then he said merlin and i just immediately retracted my thought. Its possible-- but i think its gonna be someone else.

I read somewhere that the storyline will get sidekicked until like 6 eps after the premiere. So yeh not sure. 


I liked that Regina was the bigger person -- and she told Robin that they would work past the whole Zelena baby thing. But yes i find it disgusting as well.  

THE WILL THING! RIGHT! He was together with Anastasia! HE was happy with her they were working on their happy ever after.  I don't get it either! 

I WAS SO EXCITED THAT AUGUST WAS BACK! (tbh i kinda shipped them before her turned into a boy and now i just think its weird to ship them but yeh ) August is definitely a fave character of mine. 

It might take me a while to watch -- but i dont think i can give it up! Exactly as you said, theres still people we care about, that we need to see their story pan out.

The Hot Seat: Once Upon a Time bosses answer your burning questions

www.ew.com/article/2015/07/08/once-upon-time-hot-seat-season-5-spoilers


Will the fact that Emma (Jennifer Morrison) became the Dark One out of heroism not murder have an effect on what she’s become?
Edward Kitsis: Sort of.

Will Henry (Jared Gilmore) and Regina (Lana Parrilla) have an official operation name for saving Emma?
Kitsis: They should!
Adam Horowitz: Can’t say.

Will Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Charming (Josh Dallas) cross any lines to get Emma back?
Horowitz: Yes.

Might Regina be tempted by Emma’s dark side?
Kitsis: I think we’re always tempted. It’s always more fun to hang out with someone who is willing to get into trouble than the person that won’t.

Will Emma have the powers of the seer as well and be able to see the future?
Horowitz: She’s going to be exploring exactly what her powers are.

Does Gold’s (Robert Carlyle) white heart mean loss of memory and a personality reboot?
Horowitz: Can’t say.

Will Rumple still have magic?
Kitsis: Can’t say.

Given the circumstances with Emma, will Henry regret breaking the Author’s quill?
Kitsis: Absolutely.

Will Henry get a love interest?
Kitsis: I hope so, but he’s an awkward, young child. Like all 13-year-old boys, they have to navigate their way through the minefield of first dating.

Will we see more of Henry being the Author?
Kitsis: Yes.

Will Zelena’s (Rebecca Mader) baby be born this season?
Kitsis: Yes.

Can the effects of the infertility potion that Regina took be undone?
Horowitz: I don’t see why not. There’s always hope.

Will Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) turn back to the dark side now that he has no reason to stay good?
Kitsis: I think he has a great reason to stay good and that is to save the woman that he loves. I hope he holds on.

Will the Jolly Roger be used in any significant way this season?
Kitsis: I can’t imagine it won’t be.
Horowitz: How could it not be? You’ve got to use the Roger!

Since we have a new Dark One, is there a new Savior this season?
Kitsis: Sure is.
Horowitz: That’s a great question.

Will there be another dance scene this season?
Kitsis: Yes.

Is Lily’s (Agnes Bruckner) father a character we’d recognize?
Horowitz: Can’t say.

Will we meet Merlin in the season premiere?
Kitsis: No.

Any chance of incorporating the evil witch Morgana Le Fay?
Horowitz: Can’t say.

Will we see more of August (Eion Bailey) this season?
Horowitz: We hope so.

Will we ever get to see Lancelot (Sinqua Walls) again?
Kitsis: Oh man, you can’t go to Camelot and not see Lancelot.

Are there any other returning faces this season?
Horowitz: We sure hope so. There’s plenty of characters we want to bring back and see again. It’s a little early to tell you who they all are, but we certainly have a whole slew of favorites over these four seasons.

Will Emma have a split personality issue with being the savior and the new Dark One?
Kitsis: Yes.

Is Emma the new big bad or can we expect another villain?
Kitts’s: You never know what’ll happen in Storybrooke.


The comments under this article are very interesting and are pretty much how I feel about these answers!

Well you know, once I get started it's hard to stop!! Especially when I'm not happy with how a show that I really use to enjoy isn't living up to my expectations! I'm just going to keep them REALLY low for the new season that way I won't be so disappointed!

Well I think Merlin is definitely out of the question as Lily's dad. The guy they cast is way too young! I thought they were going for someone in their 30's and from the pic this guy looks to be in his 20's. I think King Arthur looks more like Maleficent's age. I'm not saying it's him either, but as far as age wise I'd go with him. Hopefully it's someone new that we'll meet along the way. So what do you think of all these new characters coming on for the new season? I do like Arthur, Merlin and the Camelot stories. I loved the show Merlin and the movie King Arthur so hopefully this will be a little more exciting than Frozen. They were too literal with the story so I think with Once's take it might be better. Here's hoping anyway!

I can't give up on it yet either! Unless it becomes completely unbearable and they totally destroy Capt. Swan then I'm hanging in till the end!
