OUAT – My Storybrooke Wraith Problem

Ok, so if this was just a CGI “slip up” or “the Talisman was hidden behind the folds of the Wraith’s snappy purple number” then fine, but based on what I saw, we have a problem.

So, here is the Wraith coming out of the hold in Fairy Tale Land, which for a moment you may have thought there were lots of Wraiths, but for the time being, let’s go with there was only one Wraith.

Wraith in FTL with a Talisman

Phillip knocks off Talisman. My guess is that the Wraith continues to follow its original target (Regina) until another is sensed. So, for now the Wraith is like a tourist in New York without a GPS or map.

Phillip is being marked. Wraith GPS now has a new destination. “Calculating”

Mr. Gold with his pretty Talisman. How many of these are floating around?

Storybrooke forest Wraith (with Talisman). “Wraith – Regina – fetch”

Wraith is Sheriff’s Office – No Talisman.

Next shot, no Talisman.

Next shot. No Talisman.

Next shot – wait for it – No Talisman.

Wraith taking one to the face with a “Snow Torch” (patent pending). Still no Talisman.

Wraith in the new Mayoral meeting area we haven’t seen before. Did the Wraith Dry Cleaners lose the Talisman. Just checking.

Wraith finding Phillip. We are okay with no Talisman, because Phillip knocked it off.

Mayoral Meeting room Wraith. No Talisman.

Just for fun: Do Wraith’s that are passing through a Magic Hat develop Poltergeist ghost arms to grab cute blonde victims to pull through? Just wondering.

Well, that’s all I got. So, if someone can help me figure out where the Talisman on the Storybrooke Wraith went, I can sleep at night. You all rock. #BigLove2U 🙂

OUAT – Lana Parrilla, Vancouver, Steveston, Burgers, Fish & Chips and More

You wouldn’t want to meet this steely-eyed villainess in a dark alley. But in the light of day, you’re more likely to find actress Lana Parrilla chowing down on a decked-out burger than plotting world domination

Parrilla plays the Evil Queen (alter ego Mayor Regina Mills) on ABC’s hit show Once Upon a Time, which weaves classic fairytale archetypes with a modern-day plotline. As a TV veteran, Parrilla has some big-name credits under her belt, including Lost, NYPD Blue, Six Feet Under and 24. But she can’t get enough of shooting Once Upon a Time on location in picturesque Steveston, a 20-minute drive from downtown Vancouver. “Steveston is the cutest little town,” she says.

When she’s not corseted into a full gothic get-up, Parrilla goes for upscale European designers and heads to sleek boutiques on shopping trips around Vancouver. High-fashion Misch in South Granville is a favourite haunt, as well as Gravitypope in Kitsilano. When she’s downtown, Parrilla hits up Leone or Holt Renfrew.

OUAT – 2X01 “Broken” opening scene screenshots and thoughts

First scene opened in a very different way, but with a Lost TV Show eye (Horse eye)

Song used in scene (This time Lou Reed’s Charley’s Girl)

Charley’s Girl by Lou Reed on Grooveshark

The last time we saw an elevator used was to kill Maleficent

This view of his desk and room is very reminiscent of August’s room at Granny’s. Also interesting to note that there is a storm. A storm usually herald’s a change coming. Notice the sign “Cleaners and Hatters”

Lots of clocks and radios and records.

A single bird is flying way out the window. We also see a dream catcher.

Lots of microphones, cameras, etc. Sort of a mini Mr. Goldish person.

A dove with a message arrives. The last time we saw that was with Charming and Snow.

The message, “Broken”. It looks like Henry may have written. Did he write it on purpose, or was he made to write it? Is Henry’s father reading the message and being asked to return to Henry?

Greetings from Storybrooke.

OUAT – ABC/Disney shift in Mobile access to TV Shows

Disney sees the biggest growth opportunity for video consumption in the rise of mobile devices like tablets and smartphones, Anne Sweeney said here Friday.

In a conference appearance, she discussed the roles the ABC network, Hulu and YouTube play today. And she told her audience that Disney’s executive team is approaching the continued digital changes in the TV industry like Winnie the Pooh character Piglet approaches life.

Speaking at a Royal Television Society conference entitled “When Worlds Collide: Beyond the Digital Looking Glass,” the co-chair of Disney Media Networks and president of the Disney/ABC Television Group said that mobile devices, such as iPads, other tablets and smartphones, are “clearly the biggest opportunity” for growth in video consumption. After all, iPad users watch 60 percent more video than PC users, with iPhone users watching nearly 40 percent more, she added.

Sweeney said apps are simple and therefore the preferred way for people to watch video on new devices. She said 80 percent of video is viewed that way.
