Description
The voodoo witch doctor with that ridiculous hat, H-Town, the Rollin’ Bayou, and more in our in-depth discussion of “A Taste of the Heights”! The Princess and the Frog Although this episode wasn’t that much enjoyable, this is one of those rare weeks where even though it was not that enjoyable, rewatching it brought the enjoyment level higher. Tiana’s storyline for one, was sort of enjoyable, but it feels like watching a story in two different times. We liked the parallel, but it took most of the episode. It wasn’t even just a small thing, they just bounce back and forth and kept focusing on the same people, which is very true to old Once Upon a Time format, wherein the past explains the present except it is much more similar in two different ways. If Jacinda used their collective rent money for the food truck, wouldn’t that mean she was the one starting the food truck? Or was that all for Sabine’s beignets? In the new Enchanted Forest, when Dr. Facilier said that he has been trying to get something that he’s been after for quite a long while, did he mean the Resurrection Amulet? Does he also want it from himself? Also, when Naveen died, Dr. Facilier said that he is “in between worlds?” Are worlds the same thing as realms, and if they’re not, are they dimensions within this world? Is he on another plane like the Underworld? Is Naveen dying? As they debate whether Tiana will go to check the docks or go to the coronation, why didn’t Regina just suggest to poof them there instantly or take care of it herself? Why not bring Regina instead of bringing Nook and Cinderella? And for a second when they got the necklace out of the gator, it looked a bit like a watch from Peter Pan. But why did Dr. Facilier want the necklace? In Princess and the Frog, the necklace was a skull and was used to turn the dude into Naveen when Naveen was a frog. Furthermore, Tiana’s palace is also the name of the restaurant Tiana opens in The Princess and the Frog. Sabine and Drew knew each other years ago, however, it seems they are more together in Hyperion Heights. Is the curse gentler because Regina cast it somehow or is that another inconsistencies? When Dr. Facilier saved Naveen’s life, Tiana seems to forgot that she accidentally almost killed him in the first place because he had something with him that belonged to Dr. Facilier. VoodooQueen What is Regina’s history with Dr. Facilier? And why must Regina always be kissing people she shouldn’t? “It seems pretty clear that he knew Regina when she was the Evil Queen (based on his comment that she had gone soft). It appears that they had some kind of romantic involvement. It appears that he still has feelings for Regina. In Greenbacks he was imprisoned between worlds and somehow I suspect that it was Regina who trapped him there. Perhaps their original relationship did not work out very well.” — Gareth 3) I had the feeling of dread of NO… Please NO about Regina and Dr Facilier the same way I had about Wish Realm Evil Queen and Mr. Gold in season 6. 4) If Regina has a past life with Dr Facilier, then how about Rumple, Zelena or Gothel? 5) Dr Facilier referred to Regina as “my Queen” similar to that of Genie/Sidney Glass in season 1. — Keeper of Squid Ink If there’s only 10 episodes left in the series, how will they explain Regina and Dr. Facilier’s backstory? Will we even see it? Could Regina have gone to Dr. Facilier to try and resurrect Daniel, which will explain her history with him? Whatever their history is, it seems Zelena doesn’t know about it. Regina wondered what the odds are that Dr. Facilier shows up “just days after (they) d...
