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!

Game of Thrones - The Hall of Faces Trailer and Theories!

I've been watching out for this trailer for the past week and was pretty excited to see some footage from the new season. Instead we got to see the faces of characters, some of whom are long lost, and others who have yet to leave us. SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't caught up with season five. The trailer takes place in the Hall of Faces, which is inside the House of Black and White in Braavos. The hall looks great, creepy but great. We can hear some whispers which are too quiet for me to make out. Then Ned's (Sean Bean) face appears on screen, we then hear him say a line from the show's first ever episode called Winter is Coming.    "The Man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." The screen then fades to black and we then see a clip of some more rows of heads. We then hear even more whispers and which I think sounds like some drops of waters. We then hear the voice of Robb Stark (Richard Madden) who we hear give a quote from seaso...

Lion Rampant

So for those of you who haven't heard about this project it was leaked during the Sony hack. This as a potential sequel to Braveheart called Lion Rampant, after the flag I have shown above. Really it should be called Braveheart as Robert the Bruce was called the Brave Heart and his heart was taken into battle after his death. Depicting Robert the Bruce's story and the Battle of Bannockburn (24th June 1314) in Scotlands first war for independance where King Edward II was beaten in battle by a small force lead by Robert the Bruce. Robert the Bruce in Braveheart was shown as a traitor and I am hoping that this upcoming movie would mean that he will hopefully get the makeover he so rightly deserves. Although he did pay homage to Edward I, The Bruce really secretly supported Wallace (later publicly supporting him) and he did not betray Wallace, that was Sir John Menteith. This could easily turn into a what's wrong with Braveheart post so I will state that they did get the...

I dropped the ball!

                                                    ........ Image courtesy of paradigmalibu These last few months I've felt as if I have dropped the proverbial ball, my mind has been witness to a stand off between Mental health disorders and things from my past I'd rather not constantly have to relive. It's buried itself into my soul while operating my mindless drone of a body, I've relived every conversation I ever had; thought of Friends long gone as I struggle to open up about my disability. I don't even like calling it that as it feels disrespectful to people like my parents; who's struggle and sheer joy of receiving two disabled free babies has been with me my entire life. But I am not OK - I feel like I have to admit that to the world. A miscarriage has taken me back mentally to a place I've not been for a very long time, and I'm petrified t...
