A legendary warrior is joining Once Upon a Time?s second season.

Hangover 2 and Sucker Punch actress Jamie Chung has been cast as the Chinese fighter Mulan in the show. The character is expected to have a recurring role in the ABC hit?s eagerly awaited second season.

The character originates from an ancient Chinese poem about Hua Mulan, a young woman who takes her elderly father?s place in the army. ABC?s parent company Disney adapted the story for a well-received 1998 animated musical film starring Ming-Na and Eddie Murphy.

UPDATE: Some more details about Mulan?s character. She?s described as having been trained in weaponry, tracking and riding, but ?has a spirituality that enhances

her tactical and strategic abilities. She has suffered past betrayals, so her trust is hard-won, but once she gives her oath of friendship her loyalty knows no boundaries.? Also, ?when she falls in love, she falls hard.?

Once Upon a Time creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis have revealed which fairy tale characters will appear in season two.

The ABC fantasy drama will introduce a version of The Little Mermaid's Ariel, as well as both the title character and the villainous Jafar from Aladdin, according to TV Guide.

Series star Lana Parrilla (Regina Mills / the Evil Queen) recently told Digital Spy that she wanted season two of Once Upon a Time to introduce characters from The Little Mermaid.

Horowitz and Kitsis also confirmed that they are eager to cast Lost actor Jorge Garcia on the show.

Garcia previously starred in Fox sci-fi drama Alcatraz, but the series was axed following a single season in May.

Once Upon a Time will return this fall on Sundays at 8/7c on ABC. In the UK, the series airs on Channel 5.

A friend recommended this series to me about a month ago. I wasn't too sure in the first couple of episodes, but Lana Parrilla and Robert Carlyle kept me going and before I knew it I had reached the end of series one and started waiting for series two.

Agreed. I'm crushing on Goodwin but this is really Parrilla and Carlyle's show. I'm just worried that they will eventually run out of stories, though, if they still intend to follow the 'one fairytale per episode' way of presenting it.

Goodwin is hella adorable :wub:

I'm crushing on Goodwin...

I agree that she's cute, but there's something about the Evil Queen that rocks my socks. Maybe it's her dark, "I'm just misunderstood" routine before she turns around and starts screwing everyone over. It's one of those vicious circles, she says that she is evil because she has never won in the past, and the people say that she has never won in the past because she is evil.

Was a great episode, I wasn't expecting the twist at the end, however I knew what would be under the rubble the very last scene. I too wondered how they would be able to carry the story on (now that all is revealed). Clearly I had nothing to fear as their new direction/plot is more than enough for this season and a following one (use this season to do the whole

Alternate Universe/Untouched Area

And then the following season can be like the combination of both.

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
