Stories Untold in Storybrooke
They fought Pan in Neverland. They battled Flying Monkeys from Oz. Then last season they all descended into The Underworld. I am sure all the beloved residents of Storybrooke are ready to relax in their quiet town on the coast of Maine. Unfortunately this is not possible because Mr. Gold has made a deal. He has given Storybrooke to Mr. Hyde, the sinister other half of Dr. Jekyll. Hyde has also brought the population of an entire land with him. So many stories yet to be told! Read more...

BS05 – S5E02 – The Price
The darkness has taken over and Emma is THE Dark One, but what was ‘The Price’ that was paid that made her turn? Angry and vengeful, there seems to be no hope for Emma as she has embraced the darkness. Hook’s attempt at true love’s kiss fails and even Henry can’t get through to her (although she does not blame him for what happened). It’s all fun and games for The Dark One as she warns of something coming that only a Savior can defeat. Will Regina now be the Savior they need? Will her powers be strong enough to defeat The Dark One? Read more...

Where is Emma Swan?
What are the consequences of the villains getting their happy endings? The answer was illustrated beautifully in the season finale of Once Upon a Time last Spring. The Enchanted Forest was turned upside down. Regina was a Bandit trying to steal enough money to buy passage on a pirate ship. Rumpelstiltskin was the Savior of the realm. Snow was the Evil Queen who held Charming as her slave. In this reality no one knew the life they were leading was a lie. The musing of a demented Author. Read More...

ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! ‘Operation Mongoose’ is in full effect. Isaac, aka ‘The Author’, has finished his book, ‘Heroes & Villains’. Everything has been turned upside down. The heroes are villains and the villains are heroes. But, with Henry determined to get his family back, there is no stopping him from making things right except for Isaac. Henry transports himself to the Enchanted Forest where Isaac follows. Rumple is a beloved Ogre Slayer. Regina is a bandit on the run from the Evil Queen, Snow White. Prince Charming is just one of Snow White’s pawns. Hook is a cowardly deck hand and Lily is Snow’s minion standing guard at a fortress where Emma is trapped. Henry’s mission is to find Regina and give her a happy ending with Robin Hood but, once again, Zelena is in the way. When Henry rescues Emma, who still remembers everything, Regina begins to believe that she can set things right if she can stop Robin and Zelena’s wedding. Regina does not stop the wedding but instead saves Henry from Rumple. As she lay bleeding, Henry is drawn to Isaac’s quill and becomes the next Author where he saves Regina and sets everything back to the way it was. What will become of Henry in Season 5?

BS04 – S4E16 – Poor Unfortunate Soul
You may become a ‘Poor Unfortunate Soul’ if young Ursula’s song lured you to your death. Ursula’s father, Poseidon, used Ursula’s singing voice to lure pirates to a deadly fate in hopes of avenging her mother’s death. But, Ursula saw her voice as a gift, a way of keeping her mother’s spirit alive. She teams up with Hook to take her to where her mother loved to sing, but Poseidon gets in the way. After taking away Hook’s chance of revenge against The Dark One, Hook takes what Ursula loves most: her singing voice, making her the villain she is today. In Storybrooke, Hook offers Ursula her happy ending IF she tells him what Rumple’s plans are. With the help of Ariel, Hook was able to restore Ursula’s voice which gave her her happy ending.

‘Enter the Dragon’ and let the games begin. As Regina goes undercover to find out what the Queens of Darkness are up to, she must gain their trust first. A game of chicken called “Don’t be a Hero” only proves that Regina does not want to die. Instead she offers a different kind of fun: drinking, burning and destruction. This is not enough to gain their trust. Regina’s true test is given by Maleficent: to kidnap Pinocchio. This puts Regina in a great predicament because she made amends with Marco only to now steal his son away and hand him over to the villains. But, if Regina fails this test, then she will never prove to the Queens that she is on their side. How far will Regina go as she struggles with her own redemption and proving her worth to the Queens?

BS04 – S4E14 – Unforgiven
Little by little, secrets are revealed, leaving some people ‘Unforgiven’. We are taken to fairy tale land where the Queens of Darkness seek Snow and Charming to help stop Regina’s dark curse. The only way to do this is to ask the Tree of Wisdom how to defeat Regina. Only the most valiant ones have the power to ask the Tree of Wisdom anything which leads to Snow and Charming. To everyone’s surprise, they are not as valiant as the Queens of Darkness think as the tree blasts them. Maleficent reveals that Snow is with child and since her unborn child has the greatest potential for darkness, the Tree of Wisdom did not answer them. Now, on to plan B. Maleficent appears in Snow’s bedroom to reveal that she, too, is with child and wants to team up to stop Regina. Snow refuses to work with Maleficent and does not want to use any dark means to save both their children. Snow would rather risk the whole kingdom to protect her child from darkness. What repercussions will there be for refusing to help Maleficent? Read more...

Darkness In Storybrooke
Last year Storybrooke was frozen over. The Snow Queen came and caused havoc all over town. She cast the spell of shattered sight. The spell caused all the residents to see the worst in each other. Everyone wanted a happy ending and the Snow Queen was no exception. She thought that happiness would come by forcing Emma and Elsa to re-create the family she had lost. Emma showed mercy on the Snow Queen. In the end the Snow Queen was redeemed. She realized that she was not meant to build a new family. In the ultimate sacrifice her happy ending was found. She was reunited with her sisters. Upon the Snow Queen's death the spell is broken and peace was returned to the town.
Rumpelstiltskin faced his old battle between love and power. When he chose to marry Belle I thought love had finally won. However it seemed that all Rumpelstiltskin knew was manipulation and deceit. He wanted to release himself from the bonds of the Dark One's dagger. He chose more power over his wife. When Belle discovered she was deceived she used the dagger to push Rumpelstiltskin over the town line. Storybooke's border is magical. Once you cross it you can never return. Read More...
