@Topnotch di ba maganda? parang ang interesting kasi nung promo nung show.

it's plastered on the website: "Watch the Series Premier NOW" as in "I'm-available-now-so-that-you-don't-have-to-wait-for-Sunday-so-go-watch-me-now"

i watch the pilot kahapon may torrent na. planning to watch grimm pero di ko mahanap lol walang torrent. akala ko it will be the same as grimm kaya nagtataka ako bakit nagkataon same fairy tale concept. yung pala entirely different plot.

sa totoo lang i ended up liking the show that id wait for the next episode lol! nahila ako sa mystery ng story lol! pero nung last few seconds biglang linabas na FROM THE WRITERS OF LOST! hala lol! parang naku sisimulan ko ba to or will i be pissed and confused after season 1 just like when i was watching lost. hehe!

Nabitin ako sa huli. tsk tsk tsk. I need to see episode 2 right away.

[mikomouse]

It got mixed reviews on Metacritic. 68%

[mikomouse]

Good pilot! Just probably because I love fantasy.

Ganda rin ng development ng story. And the story telling! Bitin na bitin!

Just watched the pilot (just after watching Grimm) and i liked it im not sure if its because i trimmed down my expectations a bit or i just really liked the theme of the show. Anyway i think it really has a solid story and im excited to see how it will unfold. can't wait for the second episode. ^_^

I was clueless before and only got to know about this after my husband downloaded the pilot episode. At first, I was like, "what is this? a fairytale gone bad or sumthin.." but after I've watched the pilot, man..it's so fascinating! I'm already hooked after the first episode! makes me feel intrigued and curious how the other fairytale characters will unravel themselves...snow white became a teacher, prince charming in a state of coma, the evil queen became the Mayor of the town...who knows what will happen next.. I'm up for this series

Ginnifer Goodwin was the only redeeming part. I was expecting more from the pilot, especially from Morrison. It disappointed me: average dialogues, average acting for most characters. I might give it two or three more episodes to see if it improves.

Though I haven't seen the pilot episode, I have a feeling that this show is cross some/most of the fairy tales.

I saw this last night pero di ko naumpisahan. Pano nalaman nila nalaman ang gender ng anak nila? It's not like they have ultra-sound there?

baka may seer din sila na katulad ni Rumpelstiltskin! pero gender lang ng baby ang nasasabi niya

Speaking of Rumpelstiltskin, I told my 7-year old son that I was watching an interesting TV show about fairy tales. Nanood lang ng kaunti kasi bakit wala daw si Shrek. I think these modern adaptations of fairy tales is making him confused. So sabi ko maglaro na lang sya ng Super Mario at baka malito pa lalo.

I think it will, in the pilot I saw Grandma without the big bad wolf.

I haven't seen the pilot yet but I am definitely intrigued. Worried lang ako na it's from the writers of Lost. Nahilo ako sa Lost after season 1 eh, sana naman hindi ganun to.

Quite the opposite for me. I thought Ginnifer Goodwin was the weakest link. There was just something about her face. When I was looking at her face it felt like I was watching a soap opera when I didn't feel that way with the other characters.

Though it was generally positive for me, I do have mixed feelings about the pilot. I thought the shots were awesome, and the production design was superb. I think the evil stepmother and Rumplestiltskin were perfect. The story was veeeeery interesting. But I agree with you on the dialogues - so average! It was so weird hearing them after seeing the awesome production design. They didn't go together.

I don't know yet what I feel about the kid. Have to watch more episodes.

same i thought the shots were amazing, one thimg bothered me though the castle scene, yung part kung saan parang inikutan nung camera yung castle. it was so fake obvious na model lang yung castle tapos na edit in lang yung mga window scenes nila.

and agree about the dialogue, nothing special. sana they used old english sa pagsasalita nila when they shot the past or something.

The cinematography's great. The story's interesting enough to get me hooked. Interesting premise actually.

The dialogue's a bit plain, but then again it's just the pilot.

On a side note, ang yummy ni Prince charming.

[Jajing]

Parang may kulang ang first episode, but it's enough to get me hooked.

I found the pilot lacking. I found the episode boring on most parts. Digging the cinematography but I really have to agree with some of the earlier posts here. The script was bland and the acting, lacking on some of the characters.

The pilot's not enough to sustain my interest. Might probably download the next episodes granted I get to see good reviews here.
