That was the best episode so far

Spoiler:

Finally some confirmation Mr Gold remembers the fairy-tale world. And great to see that Emilie De Ravin wasn't just a one off guest star and will be appearing again


It's a shame that next weeks episode is centered on David, I find his and Mary Margarets story boring, would rather they carried on with Mr Gold, Emma, Regina, etc. They need to hurry up with Ruby's episode aswell

I thought last night's was the best so far. The scene between Gold & Regina was brilliant.

Spoiler:

I wonder who else she has caged up underground. Certainly put a new spin onto the story.

Just watched the Belle episode and i agree that was the best episode yet along with the third episode, didn't think they would reveal that Mr Gold knows he is rumpelstiltskin yet though + the Regina locking people away was an amazing twist i reckon rumpelstiltskin's son will be there for sure, starting to get really interesting now. and i don't really mind the David & Mary Margaret story but i prefer them two more in the fairytale world then in the real world

Default "Once upon a time on" Channel 5

I think Channel 5 may have a hit on their hands with this.

Amazing first episode and is huge in the states at the moment with 14 million people tuning in.
It starts on 5 on the 1st of April.

Thumbs down

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Up...ime_(TV_series)

Quote:
Once Upon a Time is an American fairy tale drama television series.

Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis conceived the show in 2004, prior to joining the writing staff of Lost, but wanted to wait until that series was over to focus on this project.

Both Horowitz and Kitsis later emphasized that the series will focus more on the characters themselves and won't feature a "complex" storyline.

The show also has a similar premise to Bill Willingham's comic series Fables, to which ABC bought the rights in 2008, but never made it past the planning stages. Horowitz and Kitsis have "read a couple issues" of Fables but state that while the two concepts are "in the same playground," they believe they are "telling a different story."

As a nod to the ties between the production teams of Once Upon a Time and Lost, the new show contains allusions to Lost, and is expected to be a continuing theme throughout the series.
The show, as a production of Disney-owned ABC, contains multiple allusions to the Disney versions of the stories that form the basis for the series.
The pilot episode was watched by 13 million viewers. The show's next three episodes had consistent ratings every week with over 11 million viewers.
Personally, I'm not a fan of "fairy tales", Disney productions or overlong US TV series, so I'll give it a miss .....

From what I remember those two guys were two of the worst writer's on Lost. I always disliked their episodes.

Yeah you're right, just checked the episodes they wrote and other than 2-3 of them none of them stand out.

I'm about 3 episodes behind on this, I liked it a lot at first but it is just dragging out a lot an nothing has really progressed from about 5 episodes ago. Robert Carlyle's character is amazing in it an that's the only reason I'll bother to carry on watching. There are Lost references/items in every episodes aswell which is quite good.

It isn't getting 14 million viewers either it's jumping between 8 and 10 million

Finally got around to catching up with this.

Episode 14 = 2/10. Awful and pointless.
Episode 15 = 7/10. Finally a Ruby centric
Episode 16 = 6.5/10. Good-ish, story finally starting to progress again.
Episode 17 = 7.5/10.

Spoiler:

FINALLY Emma is starting to click on to what is going on, and this new guy Jefferson/Mad Hatter seems like he will be a good character.

I just watched it on Demand and I liked it,the only complaint that I can find is that it rushed some parts like when the boy met up with the main character.

It reminded me of Lost season 6, with the other world/timeline/plane/afterlife where they need to remember their lives.

Watched it tonight on channel 5 for the first time. I really don't know what to make of it yet. I almost switched off ten minutes in because it was very cheesy and the evil queen's hammy acting made me cringe.

It did get better, I liked the developments, and the actress who plays the queen was much better in the "real" world but she needs to tone things down when acting out the fairytale scenes.

All in all it seems to have potential but could go either way with me. But Robert Carlyle was brilliant, part of me thinks his excellent performance is wasted on this show.

It has a lot of similarities to Lost but is far cheesier and feels more like a kids show, moves along a lot slower, too.

Thought the first few episodes were good, started picking up mid season, died completely and now has started coming along a bit more towards the end of the season.

But yeah, Robert Carlyle is the best thing about it by far.
