Season 4!! Yay! Can I just say that the only reason why I started watching Once Upon a Time was because I saw a commercial (while watching Disney channel, LMFAO idk y but I was watching) about Once Upon a Time. It was basically a commercial like an interview with the OUAT cast asking questions like, “how do you feel about taking on a story about Frozen” you know.. questions like that. And I was A HUGE FAN of Frozen, couldn’t stop replaying it. I freaking loved Olaf and Anna and Kristoff, well everyone, it was just a good movie and I enjoyed it. I didn’t watch it in theaters, but bc of its success it was airing on TV & Disney channel so i was always watching. And now with Disney+ I can literally replay it a million times. But anyways, back on track, since I loved Frozen and saw that Once Upon a Time would be adding Frozen to their show, I was just thinking in my mind... “I have to watch this show.. “ so I got on Netflix and saw that OUAT had 3 seasons, 22 episodes each season and searched when S4 was going to air. I saw that I had about 1-2 months before Once Upon a Time S4 would air so I binged the HELL out of the first 3 seasons. I didn’t get to finish in time of the S4 premier but I recorded on the DVR for my cable box and would watch it once I finished S3 bc I could not Let it Go! Anyways, if Once Upon a Time never added Frozen to their show, I probably would never have watched it and honestly, I’d be fucking missing out. I’m glad I watched this show, and I owe it all to Frozen. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to watch Frozen II yet, but hopefully it is released on Disney + in the near future. Anyways, I love S4 and can’t wait for you to watch it. Until then! :)

2020-02-08 04:12:03 +0000 UTCI completely agree with you. I love Frozen and its characters, and I love more so that upon bringing them into Once Upon a Time, they added onto the entire Frozen movie story in a sequel of sorts, rather than twisting it around like this show does with most of these beloved fairytale classics. It's quite beautifully done. :)

2020-02-08 02:48:46 +0000 UTCI think whoever did the casting for this was phenomenal. Given that this premiered less than a year after Frozen came out, they needed to stay as true to thre movie as possible because the hype was still too fresh. Also, I totally agree that it's weird they didn't change as many things as they normally do, but again, I think because Frozen was still so recent, they really couldn't the way they could with all the other fairytales which are much older and more solid in our minds. Which makes us more forgiving when people take liberties and twist the story a bit to give it a fresh take. To me, this seemed like the best alternative. Instead of twisting a story we already know, which hasn't had time to not be fresh anymore as it is, they chose to keep the story in tact, and add on to it. To continue it, based on the idea that we didn't know the full story about their parents journey and yet more to come. Masterful way to handle a beloved story still fresh in our minds. :-)

2020-02-08 02:27:31 +0000 UTCWhere do I begin? Oh... I was so excited to see you get into season four!!! I absolutely love these overall Frozen storylines done in Once Upon a Time style! I love Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff, and a lot of it has to do with the casting for them. And of course I love Sven too. :) He's so cute! Phenomenal! And Anna and Kristoff quickly become another of my favorite True Love couples seen throughout the entire series, so I'm excited to watch the rest of this amazing season with you as you begin watching it for the first time. All of season four is amazing, just like all of the rest you've seen so far. First... I have so many favorite moments in this episode, but of course I will start with the end moment between Emma and Killian... since they are my absolutely favorite True Love couple in the show. I love that Killian comes up to Emma in the woods to comfort her, and the kiss they share once Emma asks him to be patient... beautiful. Killian is of course understanding, and I love his lines when he states, "I've all the time in the world. Unless of course... another monster appears and kills me." So sweet and just... that's the Killian we know and love. And the Netflix line with Hook not knowing what Netflix is... hilarious and so cute too. :) I also love the earlier moment between them just before they get interrupted by Grumpy's cry of danger, as Killian tries to encourage Emma that she ought to try to have a life between the crises that arise, or she'll miss out on having a life. And of course Grumpy has to ruin the moment by screaming they've been attacked. He's definitely the town crier. It's hilarious. :) Next... Emma and Killian seek out Elsa, or the person who left the trail of ice behind upon learning that someone with icy magic has attacked Grumpy and Sleepy, only to then come face to face with a giant snow monster. It knocks them both to the ground upon feeling threatened and I love that Emma immediately dives over Killian when her gun goes off to protect him from the gunshot and the Snow Beast's rage. I'm not sure if this was intentional to have Jennifer dive over Colin in this scene, or not. But I like to imagine that it was. I like seeing her be protective of him. :) And as for the snow monster, or like Olaf calls him in Frozen... Frosty... I too felt skeptical upon seeing him brought into Once Upon a Time, but upon seeing how everything came about by the end of this episode including its resolve, the snow monster makes complete sense. We know from Frozen that Elsa created that snow monster when she became scared and felt the need to push Anna and Kristoff away. And now that she's come to Storybrooke... a strange town where she doesn't know anyone, doesn't know where Anna is, or how she came to be there... of course Elsa is frightened. And she saw two people chasing after her, so she simply created magic that could protect her, in the form of this snow monster like before. Overall... I like the idea. I also love the beginning scene with Elsa and Anna in Arendelle, as Elsa brings Anna up to the attic to show her sister their mother's wedding dress, so that Anna can wear it for her own to Kristoff. They're both so cute. The actresses chosen to play Elsa and Anna (Georgina Haig and Elizabeth Lail) are perfect and they're both beautiful. And Scott Michael Foster who plays Kristoff is perfect as well. I love them as these characters. I also love the moment when Kristoff first comes on screen when Elsa comes looking for him in the barn and we see Sven there too. I really love the banter between Kristoff and Elsa, and how he stalls Elsa for Anna, but does so very clumsily. He's so cute. :) And then this scene continues as they reach the harbor, and watch as the ship with Anna on it sails away towards what is revealed to be Misthaven, otherwise more commonly known as the Enchanted Forest. By the way... I believe this Frozen storyline within the past takes place about two years after the end of the movie, because it's shown that it takes place five years after Elsa's and Anna's parents' deaths seen in the very beginning of the episode, which in the movie it's said that most of the movie's storyline takes place three years after their deaths. I hope this makes sense to you. Now... I'm not really a fan of seeing Regina slowly begin to turn back into the Evil Queen again, even if it is an interesting surprise to see Sidney return to the show. Don't get me wrong... I absolutely love the Evil Queen, but after how hard Regina has worked to change and to become a good woman who has earned her happy ending with Robin... it was sad for me to see her slowly reverting back into her old ways even though it's just temporary, like Emma, Snow, Charming, and Henry all fear she will. But she has also shown she plans to take a different approach to helping her find her happy ending. By finding the person who wrote the storybook, which like you... I absolutely love and was definitely intrigued by. After Regina learns who Marian is and why she wanted to kill her initially, I believe that Regina realized and understood why Marian can only see her as a monster. And because she does, I feel it's why she is able to actually save Marian from being killed by the snow monster in the end. And I like this moment when Regina states to her, "Welcome to Storybrooke, Marian." I do feel so bad for Regina, and I also feel so bad for Robin too because he's torn between the woman he loves now, and his vow to love Marian until death. Even if she had already been dead for years. This storyline reminds me of season one's storyline of David being caught between his love for Mary Margaret, and his need to honor what he falsely remembers to be his love for Kathryn... another storyline I didn't much care for the idea of because of the whole love triangle debacle, but I appreciate the parallel nonetheless. And lastly... I absolutely love the moment between Belle and Gold, as Gold uses his power to change their clothes to Belle's golden gown and his long blue suit coat with gold trim, as they dance to the music that is the love theme for Disney's Beauty and the Beast. So beautiful and so romantic. It's perfect!! :) Unfortunately, Gold discovers a round box inside the mansion that we later see contains a magical wizard's hat, which he uses his dagger to summon from the box. The dagger which he had promised his son never to use again now that he's gotten his revenge against Zelena. We even saw Rumple switch the daggers back so that Belle would no longer be carrying the fake one, but as we see in this ending, Gold has taken it for himself once again. Will he ever change? Overall... I really enjoy this episode so much! I like that Anna is on a mission to find out the truth behind why their parents really left home on the mission on which they were killed, and I love that Elsa has wound up in Storybrooke in the present day thanks to the urn she was once contained in being pulled through the time portal Emma and Killian passed through to return home from the past. An urn that was once in Rumplestiltskin's possession. There's so much goodness to come. Thank you again, so much!!! I can't wait for more!! Until your next reaction...
