Once Upon A Time
Has anyone else been watching this new series on ABC? What did you think?
My personal thoughts are that it is an interesting show--definitely nothing else I know of on tv like it right now. I've always loved fairy tales and really like how the shows are mixing the old tales with the modern world. Let's hear your thoughts!

Re: Once Upon A Time
I LOVE this new show. I had some iffy thoughts on it when I was the trailer, but I knew anything involving fairy-tales would be awesome. So far, I have yet to be disappointed with this show. It's fantastic.

Re: Once Upon A Time
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked it. I wasn't expecting much, but heard it was worth checking out. I'm engrossed in the real-world story (not so much yet in the fairy-tale one). I thought the casting was well done, especially the Evil Queen and Emma. The CGI though was distractingly bad, especially in the first episode. I'm hoping they leave most of that out from now on.

Re: Once Upon A Time
I was a bit iffy on this one, I didnt know what to expect going in. I really liked the first episode but didnt like the second episode as much. I do like the premise for the show and I love henry i think he's a very cute and intelligent little kid.

Re: Once Upon A Time
I fell in love with this show right from the beginning. I am so pleased it is doing so well in the ratings. I will definitely be watching this every week, and hope it survives long enough for more seasons. It will definitely survive for the whole first season.
Absolutely love Snow White and Prince Charming's portrayal in this. Emma's great too. Henry might take a bit to get used to. I love seeing all the characters, and hope we see a lot more!

Re: Once Upon A Time
I set my DVR to record this for my daughter but I am finding that I actually like it. Robert Carlyles portrayal as Rumplestiltskin has really made the show for me.

Re: Once Upon A Time
I hope they don't hold out too long on Emma believing Henry because that could become frustrating especially when we already know that what he is saying is true. I don't quite understand why the evil queen adopted him if she didn't know that Emma was his mother. There should be a story behind that.

Re: Once Upon A Time

Re: Once Upon A Time
So who does everybody match up with between the fairytale world and the real world? Most are pretty obvious:
Wicked Queen - Regina/Mayor Snow White - Mary Blanchard/Teacher Prince Charming - John Doe/Coma Patient Jiminy Cricket - Archie Hopper/Psychologist Emma (Snow White's Daughter) - Emma Swan Rumpelstiltskin - Mr. Gold But there's some I'm not quite sure on yet. Sheriff Graham - Who is he? The Huntsman? Henry Mills - Does he have a fairytale equal? Granny/The Innkeeper - Who's she? Red Riding Hood's grandmother? I'm assuming they're going to go mostly by Disney fairytales, since it's an ABC show. We've seen Snow White (obviously), Pinocchio, and Sleeping Beauty for sure...any others? |

How about that one girl with the red streak in her hair? Red riding hood? (I'm only saying that because of the red in her hair. ![]() I don't think Henry has a fairytale equal.

And yes, the owner of the inn is Red Riding Hood's grandmother. Henry doesn't have an equal, he's just Emma's son/Snow White's grandson. Though the Evil Queen's father's name was Henry, which explains why Regina named him Henry. Also Grumpy was the person in jail when Emma was in jail in the pilot. And Gepetto was the jail guard.

Re: Once Upon A Time
Yeah. I definitely thought that the girl was red riding hood and that was her grandmother.
I like the idea that the cop is the huntsman or something along those lines.

Re: Once Upon A Time
This is a little too psychadelic and slow for me. I gave it a whirl. I might try to catch up with past episodes later, but the pilot didn't grab me.

Re: Once Upon A Time
I agree I think the sheriff might be the huntsman since he's doing the evil queens bidding but even in the end the huntsman betrays the queen and brings her the heart of a pig instead of snow white's and I think the sheriff is already showing more tendency to help emma then the queen.
I also dont think henry has a conterpart, I believe he's the catalyst to put things back in order, and also represents that child like innocence and belief that is required to make these characters come to life.

Re: Once Upon A Time
Loved tonight's episode. I just love Snow White and Prince Charming -- ahem -- James (as we learned tonight) so much, and I love their real world identities too.
Ugh, I really don't like that blonde Kathryn woman... I really hope she's just somebody the mayor brought in and she's posing as the wife. Do you think David Anders' character (the doctor) is a storybook character? He probably is, right? I wonder who. Can't wait for next week's episode! Cinderella! YAY!

Re: Once Upon A Time
People on the IMDB board for the show think David Anders' character could possibly be the Big Bad Wolf, judging by the fact that he seemed to have a fancy for Ruby (Red Riding Hood).
