ABC's Once Upon a Time

[Prison Mike]

I think if they started to explain why Regina hates Snow White so much then maybe it will add to her character. They've hinted that Snow has done something to Regina in the past to warrant her hatred of her. I have a feeling this is all over a guy though.

Interesting about [blackout]Kathryn disappearing[/blackout]. And David Anders returning for "Red Handed" makes me think he's either [blackout]the Big Bad Wolf or the man Ruby loves[/blackout]. For the sake of entertainment, I'm hoping for [blackout]the wolf[/blackout].

 

[DrDoom]

I rather enjoyed the last episode, loving robert carlyles interpretation of Rumpelstiltskin.

So are Rumple and the Queen the only ones that know about their other lives, wasnt sure if The Mirror knew or not.

 

[Spider-Gnome]

So, any comments on why the two characters in the institution holding Belle look like they stepped out of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?" Just an homage or does it mean anything?

 

[DarkSovereignty]

I wonder who the woman regina gave the rose to was, maybe she's another villain or something.

Possibly the Red Queen/Queen Of Hearts from Alice In Wonderland or a wicked step sister from Cinderella.

 

[Speedball]

SPACE PARANOIDS!!! YES!!! HAHA! Glad Abigail wasn't such a ***** this episode.

 

[Donut]

Is that guy a grown up Henry ? This episode is seriously making me think that. Remember that early on Henry & Emma tore some pages & burned them. Did he come back to re write them ?

 

[Speedball]

No... I don't think he's Henry.
I think he's...

Spoiler

BATMAN!!! He said his name is Wayne. But really, I don't think it's Henry, but I think he's like that one guy in Fables that can alter the world by writing.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Maybe its just me but I find the show to be a bit lacking when they choose to soley to focus on Snow/Charming romance.

 

[SuperT]

It's getting to be too much. Earlier in the season it was fun and cute, but now it's getting to be much. Either they are or they aren't going to be together.

I still thought it was a good episode. I'm wondering what connection August has to the town and what his motive was behind putting the book back together.

SPACE PARANOIDS!!! YES!!! HAHA! Glad Abigail wasn't such a ***** this episode.

Does that make the Tron movies canon in this universe?!

Because it totally should. That would be epic.

A few of the episodes focusing on them have been a bit blah, yeah. Especially the last one, with the dwarves, I found that to be one of my least favorite thus far. But I actually quite liked this one. It made Abigail likeable and made you feel for Kathryn.... Seriously, no good can come from being friends with Regina.

I can't wait to see Charming face off against the King.

I agree, I wish they would start to focus on other couples and give the Snow White/Charming relationship a bit of a rest.

The problem though is that their making David unlikeable.

 

[Sawyer]

Not really.

 

[cronosred]

Not really.

Cheating on who he believes is his wife, being with Mary telling her how much he loves her then going back to his wife telling her he loves her and then when he finally breaks up with his wife he chickens out and doesn't tell her about Mary and then lies to Mary about telling his wife about them, he's not coming off that great.

 

[Sawyer]

He's making dumb decisions, but that doesn't quite make him unlikeable. At least, not as far as I'm concerned.

 

[cronosred]

My worry is that if they don't bring in other couples and focus on them some they will have David and Mary continue to make bad/dumb decisions until they become completely unlikeable.

 

[Speedball]

Because it totally should. That would be epic.

The whole fairy tale world could be some kind of Tron-like universe created from storybooks instead of computers... which is exactly what it is.

 

[Donut]

The problem with that is. Since there is a Cave leading to the Fairy Tale World & two people in town do remember who they were, It is not made from a book. More then likely that book was made in Fairy Tale World & was brought with them. Henry got it from Mary. So clearly one of the characters that knows Snow White wrote the book

 

[Siby]

Maybe its just me but I find the show to be a bit lacking when they choose to soley to focus on Snow/Charming romance.

I agree with you. I'm so bored with the Snow/Charming scenes, especially because of Charming being so not-charming and that they seem to be dragging their story on and on.

I don't understand the whole "can't leave the town thing". It's obvious that they can communicate with people outside of the town. How is that possible since they just appeared in our reality one day? How are the Storybrooke people prevented from leaving town? Can other people besides Emma and August enter the town? Where do people from Storybrooke go when they go "out of town"?

 

[Teddy Westside]

I think Dr. Whale will be the big bad wolf in Ruby's story.
Here is some proof...maybe.

[Speedball]

I looked up the Mesonychid.
It's like a sabertooth tiger made babies with a wolf.

 

[Prison Mike]

I've kind of stopped caring about Prince Charming/Snow White. The back and forth between Mary and David is getting to be too much. I'm most interested in the storyline with August. They will definitely stretch it out to the end of the season. I think we should get some more flash back episodes of Regina. I know they want us to feel bad for her because she lost her "love" and apparently Snow White is to blame but they are definitely making it hard for me to sympathize. She needs to be more well rounded like Mr. Gold.
