The Dark Swan


"Remember who you are Emma Swan!" There is no returning fall show I am more excited for than Once Upon A Time. Yes, I admit it! I love a good fairytale and nothing gets my juices flowing more than a great story set in a fairytale world. For those of you who haven't watched the season 4 finale SPOILERS ARE COMING so be warned and click away now.

When we left off in Storybrooke at the end of Season 4 The Apprentice was attempting to absorb Mr Gold's dark magic by trapping it in the infamous Sorcerer's hat in an attempt to save Rumple's life. I think he was doing this for Belle as I never understood why he would help Gold when he kinda dislikes the guy. This goes south as the hat cannot hold that much dark magic and it escapes out into the centre of Storybrooke.

Left with no choice Emma Swan our archetypal Lawful Good character or Saviour fuses herself with the dark magic in an attempt to save the town and her loved ones from ultimate destruction. After some great effects The Dark Swan is born and becomes the new Dark one, or does she?

At the season close I was on the edge of my seat, how will this character who is in fact born of true love (if disney has taught us anything true love's magic beats all) cope with fusing with the dark ones magic? Will she be all dark all the time? Will it hardly effect her? Will she become chaotic good or neutral? I don't know the answer but my opinion is that we will have a gollum type scenario where opposing personalities are at odds with one another. The Saviour v The Dark One with no persona having absolute control over the other.

From what trailers and previews have shown us it looks like they are pushing the dark angle which I believe could be a diversion and are really flashbacks to Rumple's past through Emma's eyes. But as our last preview has shown us Emma could very well be trapped in a dungeon as she is no longer in this world. Whatever the outcome I believe this next season will be one of the greats and we still have plenty of twists and turns ahead of us. Operation Mongoose Out!

Tune in Sept 27 to find out if I am right, it will be the 29th for me!

Agents of Shield - Purpose in the Machine

So yeah I just finished watching Agents of Shield episode two. I was going to leave it until tomorrow morning but I found myself wanting to write about it.  I really enjoyed this episode guys and I am going to tell you why. SPOILERS ARE COMING! Now let's talk about Ward (Brett Dalton), I love hydra Ward best. If Grant has an evil purpose he is better for it, he might not have the girl, but he has a team. Ward is going to cleanse Hydra of all its money lovers. He will form Hydra 2.0, only in it for the destruction. Now that's the Ward we can all get behind, he might be the bad guy, but he's our bad guy. So the episode starts in 18th century England inside a creepy mansion with men in powdered wigs and such. They are technically drawing straws but with stones, the white stone goes in the Portal. He will be missed but they throw out a hydra-esque quib about how they have to sacrifice to learn, wait no one actually comes back. Oh no Simmons! We cut back to present day a...

Game of Thrones - Who Else Could Return From The Dead?

Spoilers ahead for episode seven of this sixth season, The Broken Man.  Last week I was so relieved to finally see the Gravedigger Theory  confirmed, us book fans had an idea that we hadn't quite seen the last of that loveable Hound, Sandor Clegane (Rory McCann), and it was nice to see him appear lugging a tree. Now we are faced with wondering who else could potentially rise from the dead before this sixth season is over. Stannis the Mannis Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane) was apparently killed by Brienne at the end of last season, but the shot cut away before we saw his head being chopped off. If watching the show or reading the books has taught us anything it is to not believe someone is dead until we actually see it happen with our own two eyes. The Hound was in a similar position, we all thought he would die from bleeding out in the middle of nowhere but he had help in the form of Brother Ray (Ian McShane), who had stumbled upon him and saved him from dea...

Daredevil Season 2 Trailer

SPOILERS, as always for those who haven't watched season one.  So everyone's favorite Blind(ish) Superhero is back in a new trailer. Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) is feeling guilty, maybe for the death of Ben Urich (Vondie Curtis-Hall) last season, maybe for something completely different. Father Lantom (Peter McRobbie) tells Matt that guilt can be a good, although Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy (Elden Henson) also look plenty guilty in this teaser trailer. We then see a bunch of clips including Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson) in her nurse scrubs, and Elektra (Elodie Yung) getting her mask on, all while hearing a voice over from Father Lantom who indicates that it may be because Matt's work as Daredevil is not yet finished. We then see Karen Page holding a Punisher skull on a x-ray and looking pretty freaked out by it. Then comes what I am most looking forward to, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) is here, in a hospital (watch out Claire) and looking pretty bad ass if I do...
