During the season three finale on Once Upon A Time, we were treated to the surprise reveal that Queen Elsa of Arendelle had arrived in Storybrooke. As the summer progressed we were treated to casting news for not only Elsa, but other Frozen favorites like Anna, Kristoff, Hans, and even Sven the reindeer. (Olaf, sadly, will not be appearing.) The popularity of Frozen created a sense of tunnel vision among the fans, even myself, with little question of where the storyline would go after this new story wrapped up. But with the recent announcement that Kristin Bauer van Straten is returning to Once for what is being termed a “major arc,” the second half of the season has suddenly become clear. Despite the chilly beginning, season four's plot will quickly heat up as it progresses. Here are my predictions for what will happen this year on Once Upon A Time: 1. Elsa and Emma Elsa’s Frozen struggle is to understand that love is the key to controlling her magic, which seems to be a parallel to Emma’s journey in letting things go and using her magic, and a reason why the two characters will interact. Jennifer Morrison confirmed as much in my interview with her at San Diego Comic-Con 2014, stating that “Emma finally has someone who understands her that isn’t family. This is her first friend.” This is also Emma’s first chance at learning magic and understanding herself from someone on the same path. Look for Elsa to play a pivotal role in Emma’s journey of self-discovery, both magical and not. |
