Once Upon A Time Season 4

[bigdaddy]

Glad we don't have another evil queen, just a scared queen looking for her sister. It's nice. I enjoyed it.

The producers have gone on record, saying this Elsa is post-Frozen, and is not the "big bad" in the series. She's just confused, lost in this new world.

Good, having a new big bad every 11 episodes would get old fast.

 

[davejames]

Well there will be a big bad of some sort I believe, played by Elizabeth Mitchell. She just hasn't been introduced yet.

Last night's episode had the show's best ratings in nearly 2 years thanks to the Frozen hype! Nice!

Once Upon a Time‘s decision to incorporate the buzziest Disney characters in a great while paid off in the ratings on Sunday night, as the Season 4 premiere – drawing 9.4 million total viewers and a 3.4 demo rating, and earning a “B+” grade from TVLine readers — surged 11 and 31 percent versus last year’s opener.

That marks Once‘s best numbers since Nov. 4, 2012 (Season 2’s “Tallahassee”).

Once Upon A Time (8-9pm – 9.3 million and 3.4/10 in AD18-49):
Building sharply on its lead-in at 8pm, ABC’s 4th season opener of Once Upon a Time dominated its CBS drama competition in the hour with Adults 18-49, more than doubling Madam Secretary (+143% - 3.4/10 vs. 1.4/4). Topping its 2-hour May finale (6.8 million and 2.3/7 on 5/11/14) in viewers (+37%) and young adults (+48%), Once Upon a Time earned its highest numbers in nearly 2 years – since 11/4/12. In addition, the show hit new series highs with Teens and Kids. The ABC drama also outperformed its year-ago season opener in Total Viewers (+9%) and Adults 18-49 (+31%). The ABC drama was the #1 most social non-sports broadcast of the evening with 224,951 tweets, up 65% from last year’s opener to rank as the show’s highest number ever.

Frozen hype indeed! Glad to see it helped.

 

[davejames]

Heh, at this rate ABC just might decide to make them full time characters. Or do a Frozen spinoff show. Lol

 

[bigdaddy]

They might keep some of the Frozen characters around, you never know.

And I too love the idea of who is the writer of the book, what a great idea to bring back to the show.

Just finished the Episode. Unlike the rest of you I was a bit disappointed. Major parts felt like a rip-off of different Disney movies. I know that OUAT did similar things in the past but it was a bit too much now for my taste. I liked Regina's storyarch though and I'm still hoping that she won't become evil again. The shot of her and Emma with the door between them was my favorite moment, too.

 

[Guy Gardener]

She already chose not to become evil by not murdering Marianne.

It's just a question of when she finds the author, what exactly the consequences are for everyone else if Regina gets her own happily ever after, and if she's willing to pay it.

Killing Marianne last week, might turn out to be the less evil option than the set of choices she'll ave to weigh next week.

I'm a bit confused because I thought Pinocchio wrote the book

The book existed months before August got his hands on it and added his story to it, so, no, he didn't write it. It first showed up in Snow's closet in October 2011 (3 weeks before the events of the Pilot, to be precise), and he didn't arrive in Storybrooke until early 2012.

I'm very curious what exactly the significance of the hat from The Sorcerer's Apprentice will have.

 

[RJDiogenes]

No villain? What of Weaselton?

He was more of a nuisance.

Awesome! The ratings went up.

And the Elsa Juggernaut continues to roll...

Last Sunday's episode rating is the biggest rating since the season 2 premiere. It also beat the ratings of 14 of the 22 episodes from the first season! That's how massive it was!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Once_Upon_a_Time_episodes

I wonder how much the numbers are being powered by the kids that love Frozen that are watching the show with their parents for the first time? The kids don't count in the demo ratings, but the parents certainly do.

I noticed a few weeks back, Frozen was available on On Demand for Starz or Encore or something. I'll have to check if it's still there, as I'm one of those few who haven't seen it yet.

Probably have to ask her:

You're in good company. My sister who's a faithful OUAT watcher hasn't seen it yet either.

 

[Dream]

The newest episode had a 3.7 demo rating

Checking the ratings of the entire series, looks like this episode is the sixth highest OUAT episode ever in the demo ratings (the only ratings advertisers care about). It tied the eighth episode from the first season.

My friend, what ARE you waiting for?

 

[bigdaddy]

I haven't seen Frozen because I don't want to hear "Let It Go!" but I really enjoyed the premiere episode a lot and so far the ice queen isn't related to anyone in the main cast.

The show's ratings nosed rived in season 2! Must be midseason thing!

 

[davejames]

I broke down and finally watched Frozen a few months ago, after the Once storyline was announced. Thought it was actually pretty good... although I'm having trouble understanding why it's become the mammoth hit it's become, since the story doesn't seem all that original or groundbreaking.

Unless it all really does just come down to kids loving the funny little snowman character.
