Thank you so much to all the Oncers who have listed to us over the past 4 years!  Episode recorded September 8, 2019

A never before released mini-episode from our vault. We reunite to discuss the OUAT series finale. To put it briefly - we had a lot of mixed feelings about it!  Episode recorded July 8, 2018

Warning! This episode contains mild spoilers for the series finale!  We're back! Join Sarah, Lindsay, Raechel, Gabby, Kim, Jenna, and Justine as we get reacquainted with each other after our long break. Are we still involved in the fandom? Are we still watching season 7? Where do we stand with the show currently? Find out here! We also talk about our predictions and wishes for the series finale and the return of our beloved Emma Swan. Lastly, Justine gives us a rundown of the Burbank convention and what it was like for her to meet Colin & Jen for the first time. Episode recorded April 22, 2018

Join Sarah, Raechel, Gabby, Lindsay, Jenna, and our special guest Sassy Sazzles Sarah as we live watch episode 7x02 and say goodbye to Emma Swan. Most of us had already seen the episode, but for our resident Brits, this is the very first time! Afterwards we give our ratings for the episode and the results of our Twitter poll where we ask our listeners how they felt about the episode. As always, we wrap up with a few fic/art/video recommendations. Weekly recommendations can be found here: https://ouacspodcast.wordpress.com/2018/05/17/episode-42-recommendations/

For Episode 41, join Sarah, Raechel, Gabby, and Lindsay as we talk about our experiences at Creation's OUAT convention in Whippany, NJ. We talk about our favorite panel moments, our epic photo op moments, our cosplay shenanigans, and lots more. This was our big goodbye to Colin and Jen and it was a bit emotional. We wrap things up with some fic/art/video recommendations. Weekly recommendations can be found here: https://ouacspodcast.wordpress.com/2018/02/04/episode-41-recommendations/

For Episode 40 join Sarah, Lindsay, and Kim for our next installment of Headcanon Theater where we theorize over what might happen during Jennifer Morrison's final episode (7x02). Is it all a dream? Will Captain Swan get their happy ending? If so, how in the world is that going to work with Colin staying on the show? Will there be a CS baby? Basically, we have a lot of questions and no answers! We wrap up the episode with a few fic recommendations.  WARNING: This episode contains mild spoilers for 7x02 and season 7 in general. We also recorded this episode before THAT promo photo (where Killian's hand is placed in a specific area) was released so we were not able to discuss that.  Weekly recommendations can be found here: https://ouacspodcast.wordpress.com/2017/10/13/episode-40-recommendations/ #OUAT #OnceUponATime #Oncers #CaptainSwan #ColinODonoghue #JenniferMorrison #UglyDucklings #Hookers #OUACSP

Join Sarah, Lindsay, Kim, Justine, Gabby, and Raechel as we discuss our favorite Captain Swan fan videos, from the ones that make us laugh... to the ones that make us cry... to the ones that have us needing a cold shower afterwards. We are also joined by our special guest Hannah aka creativexdreams on YouTube. She tells us all about her experience making fan videos and also joins in with us as we discuss our favorite videos.

For Episode 35, join Sarah, Lindsay, Raechel, and Justine as we tackle the controversial 2-hour season 6 finale. NOTE: We have very strong (and pretty negative) opinions about the finale, so please, if you cannot handle strong criticism, we would advise skipping this episode. While we try to be an overall positive podcast, the sudden announcement of cast departures (including our beloved Emma Swan) leading up this episode put us in a very emotional state and our anger was unleashed by what we found to be a lackluster goodbye to these characters. We considered not releasing this episode, but felt that expressing our disappointments and frustrations might help other fans who might feel the same way. Think of it as OUAT therapy. Also in this episode: -We are thoroughly confused about season 7 -Sarah met JMO in NYC and gives her review of The End of Longing -Sarah and Raechel talk about their experience at the Toronto convention -As always, we give our weekly recommendations: https://ouacspodcast.wordpress.

For Episode 34, join Sarah, Lindsay, Gabby, Jenna, and Justine as we finally get to fangirl over Captain Swan getting married, after 5 seasons of waiting! -We gush over pretty much every song in the musical episode and can't help but sing along -We have a hard time remembering anything in this episode that WASN'T singing -Suffering from a food coma, Raechel joins us halfway through just in time to discuss "Revenge is Gonna be Mine" -As always, plot holes have got our brains going into overtime... "It's Once Upon a Time, don't question it!" -We discuss Jen's departure from the show and how we all found out about it (spoiler alert: WE ARE NOT OKAY) -We also talk about the other cast departures (Josh, Ginny, Bex, Jared, Emilie) -We give our feelings about Once moving to Friday nights -As always, we wrap up with our weekly recommendations Weekly recommendations can be found here: https://wordpress.com/post/ouacspodcast.wordpress.com/926 #OUAT #OnceUponATime #Oncers #CaptainSwan #ColinODonoghue #JenniferMorris

It's a UK invasion for Episode 33 as Lindsay takes over hosting duties. Join her, JMO, Gabby, and Jenna as they review episode 6x19 "The Black Fairy" and get hyped for the upcoming CS wedding! Lindsay and Jenna also talk about their time at the Storybrooke 3 convention in Blackpool, England (including meeting Bex, Bobbie, Jared, and many more cast members!). As always, we end with our weekly recommendations. https://ouacspodcast.wordpress.com/2017/05/27/episode-33-recommendations/ #OUAT #OnceUponATime #Oncers #CaptainSwan #ColinODonoghue #JenniferMorrison #UglyDucklings #Hookers #OUACSP

Join Sarah, JMO, Raechel and Gabby as we throw it back to season 5's super angsty "Firebird" for our next rewatch. As always, we drool over wardrobe and hair and spend way too much time trying to figure out pointless plot holes. We also discuss the fandom's greatest gift: the pancakes scene from 6x18. Lastly, during out weekly recommendations we get sidetracked by Hogwarts AU's and stay tuned after the episode and listen as Gabby gets sorted into her Hogwarts house (because why not?!).

Join Sarah, Justine, Lindsay, Raechel, Kim and Gabby as we gear up for Killian and Emma's big day by talking about our own personal wedding headcanons. Where will the wedding take place? What will they wear? Who will get drunk at the reception? THIS IS A SPOILER FREE EPISODE... all wedding discussion is purely speculative and wishful thinking. We also review and rate episodes 6x16 and 6x17 (which includes the amazing second proposal!). And as always, we give our weekly recommendations.

For episode 27 we discuss (and drool over) the evolution of Killian's wardrobe. From the lieutenant ponytail - to the red vest of sex - to the Dark One black leather... we cover it all! We also read listeners comments (cause there were A LOT) and give our weekly recommendations.
