ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast

We have just finished watching the episode Last Rites and are ready to share some major feels on this episode, Last Rites, talking about Robin Hood's future, King Arthur ruling a broken kingdom, Rumplestiltskin's own kingdom, and more!

We are ready to dig deep into the episode, Firebird, and are taking the elevator down into the depths of this episode to discuss things and boldly go where no one has gone before, talking about Emma's armor and Cleo Fox's possible connection to a Greek mythology creatures. As for whatever happened back at present down in the Underworld, we are having an in-depth discussion about True Love's Kiss, the test of  True Love, Zades' trustworthiness, and more! Plus! Some new Greek Mythology and Egyptian Mythology lessons from our resident nerd, Jacqueline!

We just finished watching this episode, Firebird, and we really liked it, especially all the flashback parts. Initially, we don't know if we liked this episode so much; the flashback seemed kind of random, but then by the end of the episode it just kept getting better and better toward the end of the episode. All the emotional feels in this episode clearly shows that this was an "Espensode" (what we call an episode written by Jane Espenson); there's happiness and sadness, and we also got to see some people we haven't seen in such a long time.

Did Cora deserve to move on to a better place? Can Zelena really change Hades? Was Regina right to be as judgmental as she's being with Zelena? Is restoring Zelena and Regina's memories enough to forgive and forget everything that Zelena did? All these plus Emma's conveniently tampered superpower, Zelena's date with the devil, Hades' endgame, a little Greek mythology tale and more on our in-depth discussion of 5x18, "Sisters."

We just finished watching this episode "Sisters" and we've got a lot of things to share about tonight's episode—the Wicked sisters, Zelena finally meeting her mother, Prince James vs Chiseled Chin Jr., Rumplestiltskin recruiting Pan, Hades' proposal, and more!

The Cruella syndrome; Zelena drinking with the bookworm; a little new lessons about Greek Mythology; True Love's Kiss; a brand new theory about the finale, and more on our full discussion of Ruby Slippers! Plus, we addressed the elephant in the room that had everyone talking!

On our initial reactions of the episode "Ruby Slippers", we are talking about Ruby reuniting with the heroes and rescuing her friend, which Zelena trapped in an unbreakable curse; Snow White and David separating again; a possible major continuity error once again, Dorothy and true love, to name a few!

We were fortunate enough to get an early press screening of The Jungle Book and we want to share it with you since this is one of those Disney classic movies that they're now re-doing in live action like the other movies. Since it's theoretically possible that we will get to see The Jungle Book characters in Once Upon a Time, plus the whole universe connects in some way so we thought we'd share it with you since it also ties in with the other Disney fairy tale movies that we've seen.

On our in-depth discussion of the episode, "Her Handsome Hero", we talked about Belle and the vainest man in all the land, the eldest son of Lord LeGume and found some interesting tidbits that connects the episode all the way back to season one. In regards with the present day, listen as we share our thoughts about Belle out-Rumpling Rumple, Emma "walls" Swan, the issue on morality and points of view, and Hades wooing Zelena. We also managed to decode some of those squiggly lines, and have a couple of Greek Mythology lessons, among with the many questions and theories you also probably have in mind!

Is Ruby really dead? Is Belle's portrayal of darkness in life starting to show? Can Emma see the future now as well? Listen as we share our thoughts about Emma's dream, hope in the Underbrooke, Belle, and the hunter whose love life has been tragically empty. Did Belle really let her optimism cloud her judgment? All these plus a couple more on our initial reaction of Her Handsome Hero!

For this episode, we talked about Zelena celebrating Abandonment Day, Belle and Rumple's very honest conversation, Hades flirting with Zelena, as well as the farm girl with the most powerful weapon of all—the love of the people. Plus, our resident Greek Mythology expert, Jacquelyn, educate us more about the Greek Mythology on the show. Did they get it right? Is Rumplestiltskin really a better man? Is Hades sincere about his love for Zelena? All these and one fearless forecast on our full discussion of the episode, "Our Decay."

On our initial reaction of the episode "Our Decay", we talked about Zelena and Hades' secret, and Rumple and Belle's very honest and scary conversation! Plus, a little bit about Baby Pistachio, Henry sleeping on the job, and all the feels from episode 5x16!

For our in-depth discussion of the episode, "The Brothers Jones," we talked about the Jones brothers' good and bad form, Henry's authorship, and that massive continuity error that happened in the episode. Plus! We've got you covered as our Greek Mythology expert, Jacquelyn, has got some brand new lessons on the Greek Mythology, educating us about Zelena's possible connection with Hades!

Our thoughts about the book which have the power to defeat Hades, the Apprentice's unfinished business, the better sailor Hook can never be, and "Bob" is back! Plus, is Hades all bark and no bite? All these and more on our initial reactions of the episode, "The Brothers Jones."

Check out our full discussion of the episode "Devil's Due" and hear us talk more about tying in past and present episodes, Emma's heart, Rumplestiltskin as a father, the RumBelle baby, and the woman that made Rumplestiltskin who he is! Is Milah gone forever? Did Emma forget that her heart couldn't be ripped out? What will Rumplestiltskin do with his new deal with Hades?
