[ABC] Once Upon A Time

[strandedstranger]

Sorry for misunderstanding my question.



I mean this way.

Aside from the popular fairy tales (Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, etc.), sana isama yung not-so-popular fairy tales.

Para sa ganun, ma-familiarize yung today's generation.



Maski ako nga, hindi familiar sa mga not-so-popular fairy tales.

I don't think the story is built on familiarizing the standard fairy tale classics to the current generation. It tries to obliterate and narrow the divide between the traditional evil characters and the traditional protagonists.

It references to established strong characters but completely obliterates the structure predetermination of fate.

----

I loved how Jiminy Cricket (the embodiment of conscience) is turned to a shrink.


I also loved how the modern part (minus the "flashbacks") can exist on its own because the lines can make it believable the Henry is just a troubled youth who invented everything up.

Oh and the apple cider reference is a winner although the apple reference appeared to be overused thereafter.

I also loved that it was the same curse that afflicted Sleeping Beauty and Snow White as both princesses fate were brought to life with a true love's kiss.

It's also interesting who's that someone who stole the happily ever after. I don't think it's just the evil queen, someone must've enabled her to escaped her predetermined loss.

I am excited how the kisses and all the past events will be referenced ala Draco Malfoy getting Dumbledore's wand instrutmental to eventual victory of Harry over Lord Voldie. It's exciting to connect and reference and how this connections changes the complexion of the stories.

Nakulangan ako sa pilot episode, pero puwede na.

Once question: How did John Doe left Storybrooke, Maine, even though all the modern day versions of the fairytale characters aren't allowed to leave the aforementioned town?

And yet, he's in a hospital, and the modern day version of Snow White put a glass of roses next to his bed.

John Doe has never left Storybrooke, Maine. Love how his almost the same prince as that of The Prince and the Pauper.

isa lang ang ayaw ko sa show, ang effects. ang bakya pero sana mag.improve pa.


akala ko nung una alam ni mayora na apo ni Snow White si Henry, since hindi pala, love pala talaga niya si Henry. aww.

The story gets interesting.

Si queen ba ang fiance ni Prince Charming?

[dayee]

seen episode 3. I officially ship Snow White and Prince Charming

[magnabash]

Nasaan sina Hansel & Gretel and The Blind Witch ng Hansel & Gretel, The Giant & Jack from Jack & The Beanstalk?

Nasaan din si Big Bad Wolf?

The story gets interesting.

Si queen ba ang fiance ni Prince Charming?

Nope, it's some blondie he was engaged to marry (and not Cindererlla, just to clear that part up).

I'm really glad that the show got better. Hirap mag-explain, but I think it's improving, per episode, with the last episode being the best so far.

I hope Emma will do something more important/exciting soon. Yes she helps the kid but I still get the feeling that she's "useless". Ewan ko ba!

The evil stepmother is the best character! Hands down!

[strandedstranger]

But she's not evil at all, since I believe he truly loved Henry considering that she named after his dad whom she truly love.

The sacrifice of the curse is a paradox. Imagine the condition of the curse's sacrifice involved the heart of someone you really love and yet you crush it for the curse which means that love (if at all) you have for that person is superficial/

ABC is giving out some happy endings.

Fairy tale drama Once Upon a Time is among three shows which just landed a full-season pickup at the network. The order is a bit unusual since only two episodes have aired, but Once is ranked as the highest-rated new drama of the fall, averaging 12.3 million viewers and a hearty 4.0 rating among adults 18-49. Plus, Once held onto its strong Sunday night premiere rating in Week 2 despite facing increased competition — and that’s very rare.

Sad that Pan Am is not getting the pickup but, at least this one is.

It's getting better to be honest.

I have a few questions:

(a) Are these humanized characters allowed to live Story Brook? (The only one revealed to have done so was Mr.Gold (Rumplestiltskin) to get the Mayor a child who she named Henry. Did Mr.Gold purposely get the son of Snow White's daughter? What for? He has everything yet it seemed like he wanted what he was before? Did he retain his memory? Or Henry, being Emma's son is a deus ex machina?)

(b) Who sent the wolf to derail Emma's attempt to leave Story brook? Aside from the Mayor and probably, Mr.Gold, is there anyone else who knows about Emma.

(c) Who is this blondie? Goldilocks? Hahahahaha.

Claire form LOST will play Belle pala. Sana si Charlie naman si Beast

kakapanuod ko lang ng episode 2 and 3 and gumaganda na siya. unti unti nang gumagalaw yung story. bet ko yung story kung saan nabibigyan side din yung mga antagonist and i would say fave character ko na si Evil Queen. excited na ako sa sususnod na episode lalo na sa reason kung bakit galit na galit si Queen.

Nasaan sina Hansel & Gretel and The Blind Witch ng Hansel & Gretel, The Giant & Jack from Jack & The Beanstalk?

Nasaan din si Big Bad Wolf?

diba si Big Bad Wolf (Red riding hood) si Sheriff? ang alam ko kasi naging human yung mga characters.

I see coz I thought that worsens the queen's hatred towards snow white.

I reaLLy Like the actress that pLays the queen-Lana PariLLa. She and MadeLine Stowe of Revenge are stunning both in beauty and acting.

Same wolf that stopped Emma from leaving Storybrook and same reason she was incarcerated. I can't believe the Big Bad Wolf is in the side of the good, if he knows what he's doing. Hahaha I want to know if she really raped Red Riding Hood.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit, biglang naisip ko yung Pinoy TV show na:

[spoiler start]Nasaan ka, Elisa?[spoiler end]

[hydrangea]

ackshuli, ang naiisip ko dito is more of Grazilda.

[j5bata]

James/Charming: Trolls? Aren't they just little people?
Snow White: You're thinking of dwarfs. Show a little respect or they'll cut off your hand sooner than they'll shake it.

Indeed. They are

Just watched episode 3 and I like it a lot.

Best episode so far. Maganda yung shifting from the real world to fairytale world. Si Emma parang useless nga kasi parang dinikta na ni Henry kung ano ang kailangan nilang gawin. Madalas si Henry pa yung gumagawa nito. Pero grounded na si Henry so baka sya na ang gagawa ng next steps para sa mga fairy tale characters.

Question lang din, di ba Emma knows when people are lying. Di ba tinanong nya yung Mayor kung love nya si Henry then after that nagdecide sya na magstay and her reason why she did that is for Henry. Does that mean that the Mayor is lying?
