You're listening to Once, episode 294, where Bluebirds Fly, initial reactions.

Music Welcome back to another episode of Once, the unofficial podcast for ABC's TV show, Once Upon a time.

I'm Daniel J. Lewis.

I'm Aaron. And we are

excited about the upcoming finale. Now, if you can make it to Cincinnati for our finale party,

please go to oncepodcast.com slash party. And that's where you can register for our party.

It doesn't cost anything to come. We'd love to have you there and I'd love to watch

once upon a time with you, record our initial reactions podcast with you there. We're really looking

forward to it. All the details, the schedule and everything are at oncepodcast.com slash party.

Do take note. There is a one hour special before the two-hour finale starts. So if you're planning to

DVR the recording, make sure that you have it set for an hour early and have it set to go for

three hours long because there will be some awesomeness, I'm sure. Let's get into where bluebirds

fly.

Props to my wife, Jenny, for knowing that this was a reference to the song Somewhere

It does.

I did not know the title until I opened this podcast document. So it's one of those

that made the least sense I think of any title I've ever seen before. And even seeing the

episode, if you didn't know that where bluebirds fly is that whole chain of things, I don't think it would

make that much sense. But then again, they've used other phrases and such that are from

books or poems or other things like that that do bear some connection with the episode,

not necessarily something that's tied directly to the stories in the episode.
