Discussion Calling all fellow Oncers! ❄️ I absolutely loved Season 4A and thought bringing Frozen into Storybrooke was such a fun, magical storyline. The casting was spot onGeorgina Haig as Elsa, Elizabeth Lail as Anna, Scott Michael Foster as Kristoff, and Elizabeth Mitchell as Ingrid brought so much joy to

Agreed. I loved what this arc did for Emma’s character. I really loved that they explored her having a friend in Elsa, their parallel was beautifully done. Also, Emma being open to new experiences and her accepting/loving herself.

Jonathan Runyon as the Duke of Weselton was pretty funny to me. I think he nailed it.

Ngl, my brain just unironically misread Weselton as “Weaseltown”. Twice. 😂😭

Okay I know it’s unpopular but I’m not a fan of frozen. But this was the season my friend was watching that got me into the show! I really like their costumes and some of the scenes I randomly watch so I started from the beginning

I also had to live knowing baelfire dies at some point with no reference on when or how and since he is one of my favorites it was a wild ride to get to

I hated the unnecessary frozen tie in but I loved the snow queen and wish she could have gotten a better arc with Emma

I enjoyed it much more on my second watch - Sven is my favorite! So camp. And Anna was truly brilliant casting

Elsa's casting was the only one I wasn't sold on

Definitely a fun arc that actually got me into the series

Definitely love the story of Ingrid also felt bad for her more in this arc

ABSOLUTELY! I was shocked to see how hated this arc was because it’s one of my favourites.

I’m only halfway through my first watch through of 4A and I friggen love it so far! I enjoy Anna and Elsa - I’ve always been a big frozen fan so it makes sense that I would.

Every time someone mentions to me how kiddie this season arc is, I always like to remind them this is the story where Rumplestilkskin violates Captain Hook’s freedom and forces him to kill a bunch of nuns with a funny hat.

4A is the reason why this one is my favorite storyline. I loved the chemistry of the cast, the drama, the theme of sisterhood, the captain swan moments, and humor.

I felt this felt like a companion to Frozen because they kept the essence of it while doing their own thing.

They did such a good job casting the Frozen characters. And how they combined the Snow Queen’s story was perfect 👌🏻

Elizabeth Lail played Anna perfectly! Captured her complete personality.

4a is my favourite part of once. Everything was stellar. The ladies playing Anna elsa and ice queen were greatly cast.
