I liked finally seeing Maleficent and Aurora interact, and actually seeing her put under the sleeping curse. It's also pretty interesting how they've split the character of Sleeping Beauty between the mother and daughter, with one having her name from the Disney animation and the other having her name from the original fairy tale.

As far as I know, in the original story, Sleeping Beauty was called Briar Rose and her daughter was called L'Aurore, but the animated movie gave the name Aurora to Sleeping Beauty instead. So yeah, a cool way to incorporate elements from both versions.

It is a shame we didn't get the christening scene though, but no doubt that would have led to more "Omg they're copying the Jolie movie" claims even though the scene didn't originate in that movie.

Yeah. I thought they would have stuck closer to the Jolie film so I'm glad they've turned away from it at every opportunity.

Yep, I agree. Here's hoping King Stefan isn't the father of Maleficent's child.

I'm sure he's not, though. He'd have to be a special kind of twat to sleep with the woman who cursed his wife and daughter (considering we know she's pregnant years after this). I think people expected another villainous King Stefan because he was played by Sebastian Roche, who's known for that sort of role, but I'm happy with him being benevolent as he's usually known.

It'll probably be someone predictable like Rumple.

Oh, I hope not. I'm sick of him being so heavily involved in every backstory, especially those of the villains.

I really want a Camelot arc, with Morgan le Fay as an antagonist. Preferably, with no "Oh, she met Rumple years ago and he taught her magic" backstory. They confirmed in an interview than Maleficent isn't a fairy, so I'd like the Black Fairy (who I hope we actually get to learn about) is Morgan le Fay (considering "le Fay" actually means "the fairy").

It would also be cool to tie the Camelot arc in with the main arc of the show right now, the Sorcerer could be combined with Merlin, Morgan le Fay could have history with the Blue Fairy (who many believe has a large role to play in the show's endgame). And they've mentioned Camelot enough, time to actually see that story play out imo.

That's a good idea, I did think when they mentioned the Black Fairy in S3 that it could be set up for something. I don't think they'll do a Camelot arc though, I think all the arcs from here on out will be Disney based.

Hmm, I hope not, I like that the show doesn't just adapt straight from Disney but combines it with other things.

I also think it's a missed opportunity to keep referencing Camelot but never actually incorporate it fully into the story.

From the latest episode:

Spoiler:

Tom4784 · 25-03-2015, 01:10 AM

I thought it was a decent episode, I thought Ursula's backstory was far too rushed and Poseidon turning up was convenient but I liked that they cleared up the inconsistencies of her character and why she wasn't all that bad compared to the other Queens.

I do hope this paves the way for the actual Ursula to show up though.

Marsh. · 25-03-2015, 01:12 AM

I'm glad the actual Ursula from the story is a different character.

The current one isn't good enough to be. Or should that be bad enough?

Marsh. · 25-03-2015, 01:13 AM

Such a silly show but very entertaining tbh.

I've literally only just realised that Lee Arenberg (Grumpy) is Pintel in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. It actually seems really obvious now, I can't believe I never noticed before.

Making my way through the first season now and, honestly, Snow and Charming flashback episodes are boring me just as much as Jack and Kate started to in Lost.

Better get used to the, half of the first season is pretty much devoted to Snow and Charming flashbacks.

Tom4784 · 01-04-2015, 12:58 AM

That was probably the best episode of the season so far. I do hope we get a Cruella centric episode before the end though, if they wasted an episode on a basic bitch like Ursula then we should get one for someone as flawfree as Cruella.
