Once Upon A Time

[Maglor]

Yep, that's the impression I got.

But I just thought there would be more to the queen's 'happy ending' than that.

That would be the Cinemax version.

I am loving this show. 2 episodes in and I'm hooked. I cannot wait to see how things unfold. Especially now that

Spoiler

the clock has started.

 

[Maglor]

Definitely loving this show.

Last week I was so sure that the queen didn't remember. This week I'm not so sure. I like that they are keeping you guessing. And it seems like all the elements of the curse will slowly be revealed.

Cool stuff.

She MUST remember something. If she doesn't fully remember, then something is hitting a chord. Because she's suspicious of "Mr. Gold." And he DEFINITELY remembers something. There's no way he doesn't. Now to find out how he remembers.

 

[BuffyGirl]

It means she named her son after her father.

I think this goes to show that she has 'some' memory or familiarity of where they are from. Which is very telling.

 

[Maglor]

Indeed. But I thought that was the extent of it.

This episode was leading me to believe that she remembered everything. It seemed she knew the true identity of the guy in the coma. And it seemed that she got real pleasure out of keeping him from Snow. Like she knew she was keeping Snow and Charming specifically apart.

But then at other parts of the show I wasn't so sure.

Like I said, I like that they're keeping us guessing.

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

The thing I don't get though. If she does remember everything. Why would she continue to let Henry help Snow to remember. I mean, in the hospital when Henry said, "Oh, my backpack," the Queen let him have a semi-lengthy conversation about how Charming was looking for her. That's only helping Snow remember, and the Queen doesn't want that. So would she really let him talk to Snow about it? No.

And if she did remember she wouldn't let him have the book.

 

[Maglor]

^^^Prolly right.

 

[Michael Crawford]

Yes, I still don't think she really remembers anything - but there's some deep subconcious understanding of what she needs to do. Her explanation this week actually works - she was the one to find him, she told the doctor to let her know if anything happened, she only found the wife because of the past tapes. But she does seem to know that keeping them apart is the right thing to do, but I'm thinking it's more of an intuition thing than an actual full out knowledge thing.

 

[Maglor]

I was half expecting a twist at the end where they show us what was really on the tapes, and the dude is calling out for Snow White.

Just watched the pilot on Hulu. Missed the original airing and didn't wanna jump in out of order. I wasn't blown away by it nor do I even care for any of the characters yet... But I will definitely watch the next episodes tonight and be ready for future episodes as they air if I care enough to do so.

 

[K07]

All caught up. I like it. Loved the flashbacks of Snow's and Charming's first encounter. Loved the clever origin of the title Prince Charming as well!

 

[Maglor]

So... was Cinderella pregnant for 28 years?

 

[BuffyGirl]

That is what I want to know, lol. Everyone is supposed to be frozen in time. So was she carrying that baby for 28 years? If so, didn't she wonder about it? You can't say they don't age because Henry is there, and he ages...unless he's different because he was born outside of the curse. Okay, now that I type it, that makes more sense.

So I am guessing yes, she was carrying it for 28 years and when Emma got there and the clock started, it was time. Wow...

Of course that could be wrong.

God call, I didn't even think of that.

I think it's right.

Henry said in an earlier episode that if you ask any of the residents of Storybrook about their past, they only remember things in a vague way. Everything is cloudy in their past, and I think their concept of time and what is "normal" is unlike ours.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Just caught up and this has quickly become my second favorite show after Walking Dead.

I liked the new Cinderella angle that was added this past week.

Can someone refresh my memory on what the new deal was between Emma and Mr. Gold at the end of the episode? I forgot.

 

[Darth Caedus]

Was this new tonight??? Or did my DVR just not record it
