Once Upon A Time-The Apprentice

This week's episode was a doozy. But not one of my favourites. I've decided to stop summarizing the episodes, instead just giving you my review.

________________________________________________________________________

I wasn't really a fan of this episode. I felt like the whole date was really just filler, and sure he got his hand back, but so what. I did not like that Hook apparently "chose" to be bad again, and I don't like how dishonest Rumple was.

Rumple is a character who has gone through a lot to get to where he is. He's killed his father, found love again, and lost his son. I find it a little unbelievable that he turns back into the Dark One so easily after finding this hat. Also, I'm a little peeved that he sort-of killed Mickey Mouse.

Hook was bothering me this episode. It started off sweet, what with him wanting his hand back for Emma and all, but it really took a turn for the worse. I don't buy that he chose to be bad again. The hand had something to do with it and I'm not going to accept otherwise.

I actually quite liked the flashback. Anna was great, and she was as quirky as ever.

My last problem would be Emma. I have zero problem with her getting dressed up, but it all seemed rather dainty for her.

______________________________________________________________________________

Pretty sure Will Scarlet is going to be my favourite character this season. Just look at him!

Heads up for my next post, important things happening!!!

Once Upon A Time-Rocky Road

Sunday saw the third episode of Once Upon A Time season four air, and boy was is a doozy. I'll be giving you my summary and also my review of the episode (SPOILERS)

Summary

Elsa, Hook and Emma interrogate Rumplestiltskin, wondering if he knows anything about Elsa's past. He claims that he knows nothing, and even allows Belle to use the (fake) dagger on him to force him to tell the truth.

Mary Margaret is running a town meeting, where she reveals that the ice wall has blocked off all contact with the outside world. The citizens of Storybrooke become angry, and blame Elsa. Marian's hair turns white and she passes out. 

Regina attempts to help Marian by removing her heart so that the ice can't freeze it.

Emma and Charming run into the Knave of Hearts (Will Scarlet), who claims that when the power went out he was looting. He says that he noticed that none of the ice cream was melting, even in a black out. They investigate, and discover that he is right. Will escapes with the cash from the register.

Elsa and Hook run into the Snow Queen in the forest, who tells Elsa that it was Anna who put her in that urn, because she came to fear Elsa. The Snow Queen also recognizes Emma, but won't say why.

Rumple meets up with the Snow Queen, where he reveals that he is willing to make an unknown deal with her, which she denies. He also asks her if Emma remembered the Snow Queen.

IN ARENDELLE

Elsa and Kristoff discover that there is an army massing in the mountains, let by Prince Hans. Kristoff runs into the mountains to spy on them, and discovers that they know the location of a mysterious urn that can trap someone like Elsa.

Elsa and Kristoff head off to find the urn and destroy it.

When they finally locate the urn, Elsa refuses to destroy it because she wants to find out if their are more people like her.Hans arrives and takes the urn, but when he opens it it releases the Snow Queen. The SQ freezes Hans.

she reveals that she is Elsa's aunt, and promises that they will find Anna together.

My Review

This episode was wonderful, and I only have one complaint, which is more of a logic question.

Why is the wall around Stroybrooke suck a big deal? No one ever leaves or arrives anyway.

But stellar job on the snow guys.

Who next????

Today's article is all about the fairytale characters we want to see in Storybrook next. We have compiled our list, but please comment below with your hopefuls.

If you comment on this article with your instagram name, you'll get a follow!!

Aladdin and Jasmine

Aladdin is one of my favourite Disney movies, and I think that these two star-crossed lovers could turn OUAT into a whole new world. We've already seen Jafar (Naveen Andrews) in Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, but adding these two characters could add a lot of depth to the character of Sidney Glass, who, as you may know, was once a genie. Not to mention the fact that these two actors would have to be drop dead gorgeous.

Thumbelina

This tiny girl could add a lot of confusion to OUAT. There could be many reasons why this little lady is so small, and let's not forget that Thumbelina has a very intense relationship with the fairies.

King Arthur

King Arthur would make sense in OUAT. Given that we have already (sort-of) seen excalibur, seen Lancelot and the fact that their is a prediction that Merlin may have written the storybook, Arthur would be a welcome fit in OUAT. He could also bring with him Guinevere, the knights and the lady of the lake. And is there any chance that our old Merlin favourites could come back??

Mowgli

Mowgli would be a great character. I'm not even going to try to explain it, but just think of all the fun Mowgli and Henry could have together. It'd be great.

Mary Poppins

She can fly, she has a magic purse, and she can dance with penguins. Her and the blue fairy could get along so great together.

Merida

Where is the princess of Dunbroch?? She has archery skills that kick Robin's ass (pardon me), she has a great accent and I'm sure they could fit her in. Maybe she used to know Graham, or she trained Snow White, or she trained Robin Hood. The possibilities are endless.

Tiana

While it might be a bit of a stretch, Tiana is a great character and Prince Naveen is awesome. They could be so great on the show, and the have some strange parallels with Hook and Emma.

A Tale of Two Sisters

On Sunday at 8/7c Once Upon a Time Season 4 took control over our televisions. With the new season marking the arrival of Elsa, Anna and Kristoff, Storybrook is going to get a little bit...

Frozen Over

So Summary of the Episode (Spoilers!!!!)

During the storm that kills the king and queen of Arendelle (Anna and Elsa's parents), the queen puts a letter in a bottle and tosses it over the side of the ship. She claims that this message will save the sisters.

Elsa finds her mother's journal, which reveals that her parents did not leave on a diplomatic mission, but were in fact searching for a way to cure Elsa's power. They were heading to Misthaven (the enchanted forest) to seek help. Elsa blames herself for her parents death.

Anna wishes to journey to Misthaven to discover the truth, but Elsa forbids it. Anna leaves anyway, leaving Kristoff behind to care for Elsa.

In present day Storybrook, Elsa appears out of the barn and is almost run over by Grumpy and Sleepy (in a car), but she freezes the car and continues into Storybrook.

Regina is distraught after the return of Robin's wife, Marian. Robin attempts to introduce Marian to Regina, but Marian calls her a monster and does not understand why everyone is being nice to her, as she still believes Regina is the Evil Queen.

Elsa is cornered by Hook and Emma, who have been following the trail of ice. Elsa summons a snow monster (Marshmallow) to distract them.

Marshmallow almost kills Marian, but Regina comes to her rescue.

Regina has released Sidney Glass (the magic Mirror) from a jail cell, and claims she needs his help. Her plan is to find the writer of the book and use it to get her happy ending.

Rumplestiltskin and Belle retire to a mansion for their honeymoon, where Rumple reveals (to the audience) that he has been keeping secrets from Belle.

Elsa finds a necklace that she once gave to Anna in Mr.Gold's pawn shop, and tearfully promises to save Anna.

______________________________________________________

This episode was amazing. Next week's episode promises to be just as good, when Elsa traps herself and Emma in a cave of ice, putting Emma's life at risk.

Hope you guys enjoyed this episode as much as I did, and please remember to leave comments and to follow my instagram account ouat_is_bae0830

#Frozen is Coming

Once Upon a Time

Beginning on September 28th 2014, this is the fourth season of a hit series. The show chronicles the adventures of Emma Swan, the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. She lives in the town of Storybrook, Maine; a place where fairytale characters live trapped in the real world. 

Last season's explosive finally revealed the Elsa, Anna and Kristoff (Frozen) will be joining the Storybrook Crew. They are to be played by Georgina Haig, Elizabeth Lail and Scott Michael Foster. This is also the introduction of Elizabeth Mitchell, who is rumoured to be playing either an evil snow queen, or Anna and Elsa's mother. Michael Socha will be joining the cast as a regular in his roll as Will Scarlett. 

And of course we will be rejoined by Jennifer Morrison (Emma Swan), Colin O'Donoghue (Captain Hook), Ginnifer Goodwin (Snow White), Lana Parrilla (Evil Queen) and Josh Dallas (Prince Charming). Not to mention the incredible Robert Carlyle as Rumplestiltskin.

This season promises to live up to our expectations, and I know that many of the shows fans (including myself) look forward to the new season.

The Breaking of Tradition

I've made a decision. Some of you may have noticed that my last blog post was not about Disney. You may possibly of noticed that the name of this blog has changed from Disney4Teens to True Nerd Girl.
I've decided that maybe the reason I wasn't posting every day might be because I don't spend every day thinking or doing things related to Disney.
I happen to spend a lot of my time being actively involved in other fandoms. I love Marvel/DC, Merlin, I've been dying to start on Doctor Who, and others.
And even setting aside fandoms and other nerd-related activities; I love things like makeup, school and books.
So my blog will now be a bit more vague. Most of it will still be nerdy, but their might be times when I feel the need to throw out a bit of advice from my own experiences, or a study tip I've found useful, maybe I'll write about makeup products I like. It could be anything.
And I'm sure that once more people read my blog (leave comments my friends, it really helps) I'll do things like contests and monthly events.
I'll still post craft tutorials, and lists of merchandise, I might say where you can get a book I really liked, I may even ask YOU for advice. The internet makes the world a smaller place, and I plan to use that to my full advantage.

So here's a list of my fandoms, so you can decide if this blog is for you:
Marvel
DC
Merlin
Percy Jackson
Hunger Games
TFIOS/John Green books
Disney
Lord of the Rings
Harry Potter...
and many more.

So thanks for your consideration,
True Nerd Girl.

P.S. I won't take the rest of my posts down, just in case someone ever wants to use them. I might put them in their own folder or something, if I can figure out how.

Butterbeer

Now I would just like to start this post by saying that Harry Potter is not Disney (to my knowledge), but I wasn't about to begin another blog for this one post.
If you have ever read the Harry Potter books, seen the films or visited one of the theme parks, you have most likely seen, or tasted butter beer.
This drink is a very butterscotch sort of of soda/pop, and is very good. After doing some of my own testing, I have come up with what I believe to be the best Butterbeer recipe I've tried.

Butterbeer at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, Florida

Ingredients

1/2 a cup of Whipping Cream

2 tbs of Powdered Sugar

24oz of cream soda (not the pink kind either clear or the brown colour)

Smuckers Butterscotch flavouring 

Instructions

Mix the cream soda and the butterscotch flavouring (add how ever much you like) and mix really well. I find that adding a TSP of ginger ale really rounds out the flavour, but that's up to you. Put in fridge.

Mix Whipping Cream and powdered sugar together, whip until well mixed.

But the butterbeer in cups and add the topping...Enjoy

P.S this recipe makes 2 cups of butter beer, change measurements  as needed.

Disney Merch You Didn't Know You Needed

So today I went shopping, and I realized that there is a lot of amazing Disney products for teens. We just don't hear about them, because Disney usually markets to kids. So here is a list of some amazing Disney products and where to buy them.

The Rafiki and Simba tank top. This top is very cute, and is available from hottopic for only $24.50.

This Princess Aurora top is very chic, you can get this here for $26.50.

This is an adorable Peter Pan Cosmetic Bag. You can get it here for $9.50.

There Lion King socks are so adorable. You can by them here for $14.50.

I have no clue why anyone would ever need a Peter Pan bra. But it's cute nonetheless, so here it is for only $19.50.

This is an amazing lip gloss. It also comes in Peter Pan. Buy it here for $5.00.

This is a beautiful fragrance, perfect for the summer. It smells like grapefruit, lime and vanilla. Get it here for $6.00.

This bag is super useful. It holds everything you could need, and it's very cute. Get it here for $16.50.

This robe is very cute, and can also be purchased in a Snow White print...here for $34.50.

The EPCOT World Showcase

I recently returned from a trip to Disney World, Florida with my family. I learned a few interesting things while in Florida, and I thought I would share them with you. I will start with what was the highlight of my trip, the World Showcase.

I'm sure many of you have heard of the EPCOT World Showcase, a large part of the park, featuring 11 countries centered around a scenic lagoon. I didn't have time to stop at each country, but I will share with you what I learned.

Norway

Norway is a definite must for people with kids. This country is home to the Maelstrom, Akershus and Elsa and Anna.

The Maelstrom is a boat ride through Norway's water life, modern and ancient, along with a view of some magical trolls. This ride may be slightly scary for children. There are 2 very small drops, neither in the dark, which is easy for very young children to ride. The most frightening part is when there is a close up of a troll. Most children will be okay with this, it is a very easy ride.

Akershus is an amazing restaurant. The food isn't exactly exceptional, but if you get lunch reservations, you get to meet all of the princesses (except Cinderella, Mulan and Pocahontas). This is a great place to eat lunch if you have children.

And while the Elsa and Anna meet-and-greet is self explanatory, you should be warned that there is a 5 hour wait on a good day.

Italy

I did not go to any activities in Italy, but the scenic courtyard is a must if you want some really great photos.

Japan

The best thing about the Japan Pavilion is by far the Pick-a Pearl experience. Here is how it goes..You walk to any cashier, and purchase a receipt ( I believe for 16.00$). You then go to the Pick-A-Pearl station and are given a number. When the lady calls your number, you pick a oyster, she will teach you to count to 3 in japanese, then she will open your oyster and give you the option of purchasing a setting for your pearl. Here are some tips...When the person opening you pearl bows to you, bow back, it is a sign of respect. Always pick the hairiest oysters. And here is how to count to 3 in Japanese. Sun, Knee, Itchi (that is how it sounds, not how to spell it).

Morocco 

Here is a great place to meet Jasmine and Aladdin. They also sell tiny little magic lamp replicas, and very pretty clothes. You can also catch some great musicians, and belly dancers out in the air.

France

This was a personal favourite of mine. There are some great perfume shops and Berets in this little forum. You can also get some of the most chocolaty ice cream on the planet (it's still amazing). And if you order an eclair, be prepared for a thick chocolate filling. And don't miss the film Impressions de France, for a delightful view into an amazing country.

United Kingdom

England is amazing. Here you can meet Mary Poppins and Alice. If you like Fish N' Chips there is a great fishshop by the water. And don't miss the World Showcase Players, an improv group that involves the crowd. And if you live British soccer or Doctor Who, you simply must check out all of the shops. They have some great Doctor Who gear.

Once Upon A Time-March 30

Hey Everybody!
So I decided that since this blog is Disney for Teens, I should maybe include something outside of the animated movie realm. And here it is, the most perfect thing ever created.
Once Upon A Time (OUAT) is avery popular show on the ABC. I could say it's about fairytale characters in the real world, but it has so much more than that....

So...As Snow White gives birth to her daughter, the Evil Queen (named Regina), enacts a curse meant to take away everyone's happily ever afters.

But luckily, Prince Charming manages to get his daughter through a portal, so she escapes the curse, seconds before it takes effect.

The baby grows up as Emma Swan, she gives birth to a son, and gives him up for adoption. Her ten year old son Henry shows up on Emma's doorstep and takes her to Storybrooke, Maine.

When we arrive, we realize that Henry's adopted mother is Regina, and that the entire town is living under a spell. Snow White (now called Mary Margret Blanchard) is a school teacher, and Prince Charming (now called David Nolan) has been in a coma for 28 years.

Fast forward through a whole lot of adventures...and here we are today. Below is a guide of the characters. You can watch this show on Netflix, they are currently airing the 3rd season.

Character Guide

Behold, Snow White, AKA, Mary Margret Blanchard. This is the most kick-ass version of Snow White you've ever seen. She fights, she's uber nice, and everyone likes her (except the Queen).

This is our Prince Charming. He's not everything you think he is however. This guy is sweet, a good person, and truly the bravest man you've ever met.

Sassy crime-fighter Emma Swan clearly got the best aspects of both her parents. Her superpower is that she can tell when someone lies, and she is accepting the fairytale thing very well.

This is one of those villains that you sometimes root for. She cares about Henry, hates Emma, and is truly an incredible character. Wait until you meet her parents...OMG!

Henry Mills lives in a town where everyone thinks he's insane, but this kid knows what's up. He knows who is really who in this town, and he knows how to get things done.

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT! THE MAIN CHARACTERS OF AN AMAZING SHOW. YOU CAN WATCH ONCE UPON A TIME ON NETFLIX OR ON THE ABC
