    Watched the 2nd ep last night and really enjoyed it. Does anybody else think it is going to go down the LOST route of telling a different characters back story every week along with the overall story arc?

    I just noticed on the official Facebook page that they put up the first 10 minutes of the upcoming episode a few days before each episode. I'd prefer to wait for the full episode but there might be some people who'd like to see a bit of the episode sooner.

    Watched episode 3. It's a good show but I can't help but feel that we already know the ending? Given that the whole plot is for Emma to restore the happy endings I guess each episode is just going to be a stepping stone towards that inevitable goal.

    Enjoying it anyway, certainly better than the only other Monday show I have being TWD.

    I'm enjoying it cos it's something different but struggling to see how they could stretch a few seasons out of it..but then again who knows what road it'll take..I'm loving the real life comparisons..toll bridge, troll bridge etc :P..so simple

    Except that's clearly not the plot, just what Rumplestiltskin wants the characters on both sides to believe. The real plot is why he has set this plan in motion and what he hopes to gain from it, which we don't have a clue about.

    So did cinderella just have a 10 year pregnancy? Or what's going on....Henry was adopted 10 years ago,surely more time would've passed for the characters.

    I must admit, i got quite weepy during ep. 3 - i'm a sucker for a good love story...i am not that interested in the Storybrooke part of this show, i think the fairytale part is the best. You're taking all these famous characters like Snow White etc. but the producers are creating brand new stories and mythology for them, so it's like you're seeing a very different take on the classic stories.

    I like the show alot, my isssue is it needs to be more and do more with the modern day setting, move it along...add some threat, Evil Queen/Mayor chick needs to start offing people or something, not seen ep. 4 yet...

    The first 3 episodes were good but the fourth was sub standard .


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,126 ✭✭✭Psychedelic


    I enjoyed episode 4 but it was let down a bit by the actors playing Cinderella and her prince.

    Time was frozen in Storybrooke until Emma showed up, so I think Cinderella was in a permanent state of pregnancy during the 10 years. I think Henry was born outside of Storybrooke so he isn't affected by the time freeze (possibly). I dunno though, they are still establishing the rules of the show so hopefully these things will become clearer as the season progresses.

    ^ oops...read it wrong, idiot alert.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,634 ✭✭✭✭Richard Dower


    Robert Carlyle is ace at playing Rumple, pretty lavish fourth ep. - the costumes, hairstyles, sets, probably 1-200 extras....looked great!, as always it's the fairytale world that holds the most interest, but we're four eps. in and no overall story/arc/direction has been established.

    We don't know WHAT the evil queen or Rumple are playing at or what they want + no one has gotten a happy ending, least not in the context i understood from the pilot?
    But i do enjoy the show, it's at least a little different from yer usual crap that gets churned out.

    FYI....no episode tonight, American Music Awards.

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,255 ✭✭✭Shlippery


    **** just got real..!!! It was inevitable once the LOST~esque kiss happened at the start :(...while I'm loving every minute of this I'm struggling to see how they're going to stretch it out...


  • Registered Users Posts: 537 ✭✭✭angelll


    :eek:,Poor sheriff! Brilliant episode though, i was wondering if she had any powers left while they were on earth,obv she does so that means rumpel may have too!

    Mr Golds power seems to be the fairy tale items in the pawn shop, he used them to change the mind of the pseudo prince/john doe/David to his brothers.
