Once Upon A Time

[BuffyGirl]

Anyone find it interesting that Regina didn't change her name with the new world? Guess she didn't want to be called something she isn't.

 

[Maglor]

Well, he cut the lock that Henry had on the box and then opened it up to get the book out. Was definitely not a spare copy, unless both he and Henry keep them locked up the same way.

Definitely not a spare.


So who is this guy?!

This. I cringe the majority of the show because theses actors are making good dialogue sound so horrible. Especially the queen.

She needs to watch Revenge and take some pointers from Madeleine Stowe on how to be a psycho ******.

If the acting falls short it doesn't with her. Anyone who can make me hate her so completely is doing something right.

 

[fosing]

who could the writer be in fairytale land? plus he came out of town, which means he isnt cursed?

and i thought regina was a sweetie from the start, she's a psychpath.

Did they actually show this part during the episode? Perhaps I just missed it?

 

[Maglor]

Last scene. It was the big reveal. If you saw it, I would think you would remember it...

Oh, I know she's a character who is supposed to be hated, but the way she delivers it is always the same. Her tone in her voice never varies. And she doesn't act with anything other then her voice. None of her body language makes me hate her, none of her facial expressions makes me hate her.

For me it's in the eyes and when I look into her eyes I see someone trying to be evil, but when I look into Madeleine Stowe's eyes on Revenge I see a cold hearted ******.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Yea, I thought he was the writer from the typewriter reveal - perhaps he's one of the Grimm brothers - part of the spell, yet not part of it.

Thanks, I'll have to watch the ending again.

Agreed. I think she and Gold are the only two who really sell it. It's all of the others that I can't stand. And I love it that Lana (Regina) has a softer voice in real life. It makes Regina more unique that Lana goes a tone deeper.

 

[Michael Crawford]

Have we seen anyone other than Emma, Regina and Henry interact with the writer? Hmmm...

Again, I've been assuming and discussing for awhile that he's the writer of the Once Upon a Time book - someone had to write it, and since it knows everything about the curse, it's not likely to be Regina or Rumps, the only two that could. So he's of the town, but not - he must be some part of the curse itself. Perhaps he didn't exist in Fairy Tale land, but either his existence is a direct result of the curse or he was provided the information in our world somehow by the curse. Let's face it, without the book Henry wouldn't know what was going on, wouldn't have gone to get Emma, and the prophecy of Emma being able to break the curse couldn't come true.

Or perhaps while we might be thinking of the curse originally belonging to Rumple, he actually got it from someone else...like this guy. Hmmm, so many possibilities...

 

[Maglor]

If he wrote it, why is he so desperate to get at it? Time to do some editing?

 

[Darth Caedus]

Yea, I thought he was the writer from the typewriter reveal - perhaps he's one of the Grimm brothers - part of the spell, yet not part of it.

Right when I saw the typewriter and him taking the book, that thought popped into my head. I'm sure we'll get a fairytale flashback where the writer is documenting stuff for a king or on his own and writing them down in that book.

Ript's shirt today is a Once Upon A Time shirt. I kind of like it.

That was good episode. Rumple makes the show. Love how he didn't even let the fiance finish his challenge statement.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Solid episode. Enjoyed the showdown at the end with the jailed Rumple vs. the Queen.

 

[Maglor]

I like Rumple more every episode.


Awesome ending. So cool to see Rumple and the queen reveal themselves openly like that.

 

[Darklord Dave]

It's interesting how they're throwing in completely random references - like Nurse Rachet and Chief from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It was also interesting how they tried to keep as true to the Disney animated Beauty and the Beast, down to the costumes and the cup with a chip out of it.

And did anyone notice that Mickey's Sorcerer's Apprentice hat is one of Rumple's trophies?

Oh, and the Florist's company name - Game of Thorns - very cute.

 

[Maglor]

I cought "Game of Thorns", but didn't notice Mickey's hat.

Also, where was nurse Rachet?

Spoiler

At the end - the dungeon nurse was dressed and had a hair style as Rachet - I didn't really think about it until we saw Chief a moment later.

Mickey's hat is on a pedestal along the wall near the dining table. I only saw it in the scene where the Queen came to talk to Rumple.

Loved the conversation in the jail, and the reveal at the end, as well as the easter eggs.

I enjoyed this episode, although, like most episodes little things bugged me.

I love Emilie De Raven to death in LOST, but casting her as Bell? Really? I guess I can't get Disney's version out of my head because it's favorite, but I picture Bell as younger, taller, slimmer, oh and not Australian.

Rumple really does make this show what it is.
