OUAT: Two Bros on an Adventure

Last time on “OUAT:” Everyone tried to figure out what happened in Camelot while they discovered Arthur and his subjects had landed in Storybrooke. Hook tried True Love’s Kiss on Emma but it didn’t work, indicating she doesn’t want to be free of the Dark One. Emma taunted Regina, saying she’ll never break Emma’s curse because there’s no Savior. Henry told Regina she will save them but Regina doubted herself, especially after a Fury takes off with Robin. She learned she hadn’t paid the price of magic so she sacrificed herself for Robin’s life. Mary Margaret, David, Arthur and Leroy joined her and the Fury disappears, leaving Robin alone. Regina finally believed she could be the Savior.

In Camelot, Arthur revealed that Merlin is trapped in a tree. He said that one of their visitors is the Savior foretold to get Merlin out. Regina kept Emma from stepping forward and claimed the title to make sure Arthur didn’t learn that Emma was the Dark One. Arthur threw a ball in their honor and so we got Snowing, Outlaw Queen and Captain Swan dances! Henry flirted with a girl named Violet and everything was going well until Sir Percival tried to kill Regina. Robin jumped in and was stabbed in the process. When Regina’s magic failed to heal him, she asked Emma to do it. Despite the risk, she saved Robin and said she would pay the price the Dark One apparently is required to set for using magic. She tried True Love’s kiss with Killian but it seemed she liked the magic a bit too much.

In the end, we learned that Emma has Excalibur hidden in the secret room in her house.

OUAT: I Could’ve Danced All Night

Last time on “Once:” Our heroes went searching for Emma after she was taken away by the cloud of dark magic. The Apprentice gave them a wand to use but someone with dark magic needed to wield it. Regina has become good so they have to turn to Zelena. She continued to victimize Robin so Regina ix-nayed that idea but Hook wrangled Henry into going behind Regina’s back. Zelena busted out and tried to use the wand to go back to Oz. Regina tricked her and used Emma’s baby blanket to transport a bunch of them in Granny’s.

In the Enchanted Forest, Emma learned being the Dark One came with its own annoying tutorial. This one happened to take the form of Rumpelstiltskin, believing it to be the form most familiar to Emma. He spent the time encouraging her to use her magic and embrace the darkness. Emma, though, was determined to make it to Camelot. Along the way, she met up with Merida and the two journeyed together until Merida overheard Emma fighting the Dark One about killing Merida.

Granny’s arrived just in time so they could stop Emma from crushing Merida’s heart. The gang promised to help Emma and Merida goes off to solve her problem. As they returned to Granny’s, King Arthur showed up to take them to Camelot. They entered the kingdom…and then ended up back in Storybrooke with the last six weeks erased.

Emma has become the Dark One and they need to piece together what happened in Camelot to help her.

Nostalgia Nook: Halloweentown II

It’s October! You know what that means:

Pumpkin everything!
That chill in the air.
Ghosts, goblins and witches.
The skeleton war.
Ignoring the Christmas decorations already popping up in stores.

And of course…

HALLOWEEN!

Last year, I discussed the beloved Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) Halloweentown. This year, we’re going to discuss the sequel! Because of course there was a sequel. It was a popular movie. Disney couldn’t resist!



So grab your broomsticks and get ready for SPOILERS!

OUAT: I Wanna See You Be Brave

(I really hope I don’t regret using that one so early)

Last time on “OUAT:” It was a story all about how everyone’s life got twisted turned upside down…Don’t expect me to continue rhyming. I failed that in preschool. So Isaac and Rumpelstiltskin rewrote the book, leaving Henry alone to save everyone. He ended up in the new Enchanted Forest where Snow was evil, Charming her dark puppet, Regina a bandit on the run from the queen, Hook a coward who worked for Blackbeard, Rumple a hero, Belle his wife, Baby Neal their child, Emma locked up in a tower and Zelena as sweet as apple pie, engaged to Robin Hood…who was more or less the same.

Henry and Hook rescued Emma but he lost his life while protecting them from Evil!Snow and Puppet!Charming. They convinced Bandit!Regina to crash Good!Zelena and Robin’s wedding but Isaac had already convinced Hero!Rumple to stop them. Bandit!Regina opted to save Henry but Robin abandoned Good!Zelena seconds after marrying her to stay by Bandit!Regina’s side as she died. Henry became the new author and saved the day!

Back home in the right world, Isaac was apprehended as everyone celebrated surviving yet another…curse? Yeah, we’ll go with curse. But Belle declared that Rumple was about to become the Dark One completely so everyone went to help him. The Apprentice removed the darkness but it would not be contained. It escaped into the night and when it tried to take Regina, Emma sacrificed herself to it and became the new Dark One.

Hang on tight, y’all and listen to Bette Davis here:

ANTM: Going to the Dogs

Last time on "ANTM:" The models learned how to use Vine to film videos promoting girls going into STEM fields. Courtney continued to struggle with her self-confidence and Bello seemed incapable of accepting any responsibility for his shortcomings. They then posed as dolls before learning that two models would be eliminated at panel. Lacey once again rose to the top while Devin, Courtney and Bello fell into the bottom three. Devin was spared as Bello and Courtney were both sent home. Seven models remain, who is eliminated tonight? 

Find out! 

Everyone returns to the house to see Lacey’s best picture…again. She realizes everyone is getting sick of her winning. Devin points out that there’s only seven of them left and everyone is surprised that their numbers have dwindled so fast. Justin talks about how everyone is stepping it up and he talks about how his parents weren’t thrilled with his career choice but that they came around.

Hadassah talks about how she and Bello left things in a bad place and she wishes she would’ve known why he had acted like that toward. She also talks about how everyone underestimates her. Hadassah talks about having to deal with going down a socio-economic level when her parents left her with relatives and she says she worked so she could buy her siblings presents. So she wants the money for herself and for them.

In the Tyra Suite, Lacey’s TyTyTip is to not let her fellow contestants’ get to her because they are jealous and consider her a threat.
