ABC rly took a risk with this one, you can clearly tell this has a budget but I guess that happens when you wrote them one of their biggest hits of the past few years.

Re: Once Upon A Time - Season 1
I've seen the pilot already and it's great. I hope this one sticks around.
This was good buut nos as good as I thought this would be.
And the scene where the curse finally gets them has to be one of the best Fxs I've seen on TV in quite a while

Re: Once Upon A Time - Season 1
It was a little bland at times, but I think I'll keep watching.

Re: Once Upon A Time - Season 1
It's definitely a very crazy premise. Not sure if I like this show or not. It didn't manage to realistically convey neither the fairy tale world nor the "real" world. It's a poor man's Enchanted based on the pilot.

I liked the first episode. It definitely has some promise.

Re: Once Upon A Time - Season 1
Oh my god the second episode was so good. Better than the pilot. Already obsessed with this show.

Re: Once Upon A Time - Season 1
The second episode was slightly better than the pilot. At least both worlds felt more vivid and real. I still cringe at the green screen scenes. They look even worse than V's green screen scenes and those were already horrible.

The second episode was much better. I also am loving Robert Caryle as Rumpelstiltskin. I think they are making him the main baddie.

I cannot wait for the third episode I've been thinking about it all week.

Re: Once Upon A Time - Season 1
Loved the third episode - Ginnifer Goodwin is adorable on this show.
This episode was great!, I cant believe I've liked both episodes more than the pilot.

Re: Once Upon A Time - Season 1
It was another great episode. I did love how they changed Snow White to being a thief. Next week looks great, hope we learn more about old Rumple.

Re: Once Upon A Time - Season 1
I thought this episode was a slight setback. I don't think we needed to see how Snow White and Prince Charming fell in love. It'sa given they're supposed to be together. I'd be happier if they showed us more of how she became a thief.

Re: Once Upon A Time - Season 1
Well I bet we get that later. They also set this episode up for him waking up so it made more sense to see an episode of them meeting.

Re: Once Upon A Time - Season 1
I still think it's way too much of a filler material to give a whole episode about how Snow White and Prince got hots for each other. We are dealing with well known fairy-tale material and the love between Snow White and Prince is a given. They'd be in love any way they met. If they made them something like mortal enemies upon their first contact it would make for an interesting storyline, but they didn't. Which is why I wish they explored the Snow White as a thief part a bit more. The whole Prince waking up storyline felt more like a B plot than an A plot of the episode. A bit bland.

Re: Once Upon A Time - Season 1
Really enjoyed last night's episode with the twist on the Cinderella story. Emma making that deal with Rumple will end very badly though.

Re: Once Upon A Time - Season 1
I loved last night episode as well, especially the neat twist. I also really enjoy Rumpelstiltskin. Robert Caryle is great in the show, I wouldn't be shocked to see him get an Emmy nomination.

Re: Once Upon A Time - Season 1
Watched the first two episodes, I'm SO in. The best start to a network show since Lost
I thought the Snow White/Charming episode was the best one so far. The Cinderella episode was slightly less interesting though still good. Think this will end up like Lost where we have our favorites flashback wise and lesser ones
Giancarlo Esposito as the "mirror" needs more scenes! They probably didn't know whether he would officially be off Breaking Bad so they can hire as a cast member for real ASAP
I'm 95% sure the waitress is little red riding hood. Name is Ruby, ruby's are red. Yep. I can't figure out the sheriff yet. I suppose it's most likely that he's just the Queen's huntsman, though the sheriff of Nottingham could work as well (I guess he could both, and it'd be good to have Robin Hood on the show)
