The previews walk again...

...even after so much turkey over the holidays...


I saw the previews for this new episode...and I thought "wait, how?"

reason: The village of survivors (formerly led by the illusion we called Lancelot) is brought back from the dead...and their reviving looks distinctly like zombies.

Question is - are they the brain-seeking killer zombies of the last decade? or are they the black-and-white movie zombies who could work a plantation as well as anyone else (just without free will) ? or are they the legends of the zombi of Haiti?

or was the preview a red herring to trick us all?

Exactly! Because, though they 'brought Daniel back' he obviously wasn't the same. He did have some level of self-control though, which is great for the plot but confusing wrt their established canon.

I'm speculating that Cora is manipulating the corpses kind of like Inferi from HP? Literally no free will of their own, just 'alive' to perform a task. It makes more sense to me that she uses them against Team Warrior Princesses as obstacles than as the flesh-eating variety of zombies, though it's Cora (and the writers of OUAT) so honestly, anything goes.

Oh, please, I hope there are no zombies. This was supposed to be a show about fairytales! It's turning more and more into True Blood! So far, except for "The Crocodile," I'm finding this season severely disappointing.

So I heard somewhere that there were supposed to be TWO episodes on tonight. Did I hear wrongly? I just see the regular Sunday lineup on my TV' schedule.

they need to let Mulan do something aside from stand in the background and volunteer to confront Mary Margaret. :)

unless the lineup is doing something sneaky, the first few minutes of the following hours proved to be just Revenge and 666 Park Avenue.

So far, it seems to me like Aurora and Mulan are extraneous characters they haven't figured out what to do with yet. Cora is a good and relevant addition, but otherwise, whatever happened to Archie and August and Gepetto and the seven Dwarfs? They need to stop introducing new characters while ignoring the existing ones.
