How epic was Snow White & Prince Charming last episode? That was one of my favorite moments so far. This series has me hooked by crook!

The Cinderella episode from Sunday was really good. The only part that ruined it for me was the acting from the guy playing Cinderella's prince/husband. It was bad.
As I was explaining it to my wife when were watching it together the other day, his acting was ... well it was "porn acting" bad!
My wife was not as amused as I was hoping she'd be!

Loved the episode! Kind of wondering if what Rumplestiltskin did wasn't a bit of a cheat though. I mean, killing the Fairy Godmother that was going to give Cinderella the party stuff free so He could charge her for it? Seems like it should be against some fairytale rule or another... LoL!

I want to see more flashbacks from the Fairy Tale time and also way more special effects from this new show.

"Once Upon A Time" seems to have dropped off LW's radar. That's a shame because I think it's oe of the best shows going. Admittedly, I only watch a handful regularly in all, but this one is one of the few to "stick" in recent seasons.
It's just been flat-out good from last season thru this one. It has its cheesy aspects, sure. One of those being its tendency to relate more closely to the (ABC parent company) Disney versions of the classic fairy tales. Others might be turned off because it has an undeniably all-ages appeal.
But at the same time that it pays homage to the Disney movies in various ways, the show takes the stories and turns them on there heads. The Snow White story, for example, is a lot more complicated than what we remember. The threads that tie her and the Evil Queen and all the obstacles between Snow and Charming are very captivating. How about the story of Beauty and the Beast where "Beast" is Rumpelstiltskin? Red Riding Hood is a werewolf? There are so many delightful and entertaining twists that this just scratches the surface!
Yes, it's definitely more on the all-ages side of entertainment. But it's far from completely sanitized, and there's lots of high stakes and depth to the story. And, really, it's kind of refreshing to see a show like this without heaps of blood and gore that you could actually watch with your kids (if they weren't obsessed with cartoons an viseo games, of course... ).
In short I like this show!

Yeah, this show has been consistently entertaining. There's a side of me that wants to hate it for the Disney-fication of stuff, but it actually manages to be quite solid and unique despite those elements. It may be the first show that's tried to duplicate a Lost-esque narrative structure and succeeded.
