OUAT S1E6

Alright. So. Last week sometime I watched the next episode of OUAT. Life got really busy and I haven't gotten around to writing my response to it until now. Fingers crossed I took good notes and can make this as enjoyable as possible.

This episode is called The Shepherd. Which was a bit weird to me, until I watched the entire episode.

Anyway.

I'm learning their names in our world, so that's a plus.

David is being released from the hospital. And he's going "home". Sigh. I don't like this woman that's supposedly his wife. This isn't his home; he doesn't belong here. And seriously? You don't have a huge party for a person who is still struggling to remember who they are. That's so overwhelming. Oh, but there's Henry... Trying to make things better by plotting and scheming. Asking such leading questions. Of course asking about Mary. But the mayor... I just don't like her. At all. She may have lost someone (I'd love to know who), but she ain't your friend, sista. Well, she might be. I don't like either of you, so you might be best buds. Ooooh!! David went to find Mary!! And he's helping her to hang a birdhouse...and asking about her resignation... Sigh. He's adorable. He just, he has feelings for her! And he wants to choose her over his wife!! But Mary is denying him... Why?!? Sigh...

Alright. Charming is using a sword. And he's dead?! What?! Oh, no. He's pretending to be dead so he can kill the bad guy. That's fine. I can survive that. It's a bit weird that there's an audience for this killing. But I guess it was cheaper than cable back then (ba dum shhhhh). Oh. Now he's going to kill a dragon? Huh. Okay. Who is this guy with the weird hand? Oh, wait. Gold sword. He's King Midas! Charming really is beautiful. WAIT. WHAT. What has happened?!? This guy just rises from the dead and spears him??? But he can't be dead, can he? Oh my gosh. He is dead. And here's Rumple... Gosh, he just shows up, doesn't he? So, Charming was actually a gift from Rumple because the King and Queen couldn't have a child of their own. Stupid king... Stop making deals with Rumple. He's a poop. Rumple wants the wand of Cinderella's fairy godmother!! Ooooh. Okay. That makes sense. But wait. He can't bring Charming back from the dead... What on earth is he going to do? Oh. He has a twin? Ooooh, yes he does. I love when the twins are just as if not more attractive.

Okay. So Mary is stressed. Like cleaning mode stressed. Ah, Emma with the best advice: stop cleaning and have a drink. Amazing. Alright so if you think something you want to do is wrong, it probably is...true. Now I know he needs to figure his life out, but that's what he's trying to do!!! Now I'm assuming the wife is in love with the twin, not the original Charming seeing as how he's dead. Ugh. Stop trying to sleep with him. He doesn't like you. See? He doesn't even like kissing you. Ha.

Aww!! The twin is chasing a goat. How cute. Alright, so this guy lives with him mother. And his mother is trying to marry him off to save the farm. Sigh. But look at him!! He's going to save the farm his own way. Good for him. And he wants to marry for love! Not for money! Praise. And here's Rumple... He's trying to explain all of this to them. I just don't trust him. Not at all.

So, the doctor... Is he making moves on Mary again? I thought we washed our hands of him... Ugh. Regina. Why????? She needs to mind her own business. She has no right to say anything to Mary. At all. Like it isn't her business that David left his wife. Honestly. Just buzz off.

Now the twin is going to slay the dragon, yes? Okay. So I'm assuming that the Charming that we've known the entire time has been the twin. I think that's a safe assumption. I get the feeling that all of these men will die while trying to kill the dragon. Just a hunch. Is this dragon the reason there was a dragon at the opening credits? Or has there always been a dragon there? I'll have to keep my eyes open next time I watch. Sigh. I just love the heart this guy has. He cares about everyone. I love him. Oh. That guy is toast. Well, he's been toasted. Heh. And after an exciting action sequence, we learn that the sword works great and the dragon has no head. Lovely.

Ahhh!! He came to see Mary!! He loves her. I just, I have such heart eyes over them. But Mary just keeps pushing him away. Ugh. I don't like it. (David's smile, though. Good. Lord.) So the sheriff brings doughnuts to get her to work a night shift because he has some charity thing? Okay. Sure. Eeep! Mary has come to gossip. I love it. Ooooh. And Emma is telling her to go! Yay!!! And of course Regina has something to say... Just piss off.

The dragon's head is now gold. Of course. And King Midas wants Charming to marry his daughter. Of course. And oh my gosh!! It's her! Of course... She's a stuck up turnip, isn't she? And why is the king threatening him to marry her??? Ughhhhhhhhhhhh. I don't like it.

Aww. David is wandering around lost. He's trying to find his way to where Mary is. And naturally Regina finds him and gives him "directions". I'll bet you they don't go where he's trying to get. So Mary is there waiting for him... Where is he? Oh, dear. The pawn shop. Don't go in there!! He went in there... Okay. Hopefully Mr. Gold is giving him proper direction. Uh oh. The windmill. Is it the one from his house? Crap... He's remembering things... I don't like this...

Okay so the twin is going back to his mother to tell her what's going on. And now she doesn't want him to marry someone for the money. It's about time. I just hate that he's being forced to marry this person. Wait. He can't see him mother again?? Oh my gosh. He came to say goodbye to her. I can't deal with this. He just, he loves so purely and so much. Ooooh! The ring! It was his mother's ring!

Mary is wearing the ring!! He has finally arrived!! And he's "remembering" crap about Catherine. Sigh. I really don't like this at all. They've mentioned the "right" thing to do quite a bit in this episode. Blah. This is dumb. He just freaking broke Mary's heart. I don't like him now. So Emma is on night patrol. And she sees someone sneaking out of a window through the bushes. It's the sheriff!! He was sneaking out of Regina's window. It's about time someone found out about their sneaking around. And now David has gone back to Catherine... Major sigh. Oh, so, "Let's see what happens"? Um, no. Let's not.

I just don't like that they're getting married. It's dumb. Abigail and James. It's just weird. Why are they staying in Midas' kingdom? Who knows. And now the other king is saying he's proud of James for making the "right" decision. Yeah, like you gave him a choice. Ooooh! But they're taking the scenic route back!!! This is when he meets Snow!! Eeeep!!

And now Mary is heartbroken. I'm so upset. And the doctor is there? Okay... But who is this guy? Well, he wants to buy Mary a drink. And she says to but her two. Bless.

Well, that wasn't so bad for being about a week removed from actually watching the episode. I'm thinking of shooting for Once Wednesdays in the future. Where I post on Wednesdays about OUAT. But don't hold me to that... We'll have to see what happens.

Until next time.

OUAT S1E5

Alright. It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to watch OUAT (and also blog in general) because we are in between internet providers at my house. So I don’t know when this will be posted, but that’s okay.

Justin let me borrow his DVDs of seasons one and two, so before work today I decided to partake in the next episode. It had been awhile since I last watched, so I did a rewatch of the episode previous. Side note: I still can’t believe the mayor and the sheriff are sleeping together.

Episode five! That Still Small Voice. (I’ve decided to start including the episode titles for funsies…and apparently they connect with what’s happening in the fairy tale world.)

I was a bit confused at the beginning because I didn’t know who this was. A small red headed kid stealing from folks who are there to watch a puppet show. Not cool. And then to top it all off, he works for the people who put on the show! Oh, and to make it worse they’re his parents… Great. It’s good to see that he doesn’t like stealing from people. Where did the cricket go?

Right. The therapist. Jiminy Cricket. Same person? We’ll see. So I feel like the fact they mentioned no crickets in Storybrooke is important. Henry can’t come up with a good reason why this is important. Alrighty. So Emma is now a deputy. She doesn’t want to wear the tie, understandable. An earthquake comes as soon as she puts on the deputy badge? Weird. Except it isn’t an earthquake… It was a collapse of some tunnels. Oh ho ho. So even though the mayor is sleeping with the sheriff, she didn’t know Emma was hired as deputy. Amazing. The mayor wants to pull a Parks and Rec and make the sight of the collapsed mine a place for the public to enjoy. Ha. Wait. What is that thing she’s picked up? It seems important… Alright so Henry is seeing Archie, the therapist. And apparently he knows everything. The tunnels are collapsing. Emma is weakening the curse. How did her becoming deputy start all of this? Wait!! He’s Dr. Hopper!! I love it. Ugh. But the mayor, though. She’s just so unhappy with her life and now she’s threatening the therapist. Ugh.

This person’s name is Jiminy. Wait. It’s Archie… The little boy from the beginning! Amazing. So he’s still working with his parents. In the rain. Well, okay. Stopping to listen to the crickets!! Important!!! He’s having a change of heart and he’s going to do something about it!!

So this guy Marco…apparently he’s Gepetto. That’s cool. Alright so Archie is actually doing what the mayor said because she threatened him. I think it’s pretty obvious that he doesn’t believe what he’s saying to Henry. Like he knows something is up.  So now that Charming is no longer in a coma, I love seeing him interact with Mary. They’re literally the cutest thing. But I seriously still dislike the wife. She frustrates and annoys me. And now Henry is upset, Emma is mad, Henry runs away, and Archie knows were to find him. Because being the genius of a child that he is, Henry went to the collapsed tunnel place. Idiot.

Why is there a spinning wheel? Why is Rumple here? How did this kid get involved with this scum? Wait. Is he selling his parents? I don’t understand. How is it that this guy has his hands in everything?

I love Pongo. But I just love dogs. Anyway. These tunnels are weird. Like what are they? Are they remnants of the world from before? I mean, there are pieces that look kinda fancy like they don’t belong in a tunnel. But now Archie goes to try and rescue Henry, Henry thinks Archie doesn’t believe anymore, Archie tries to convince Henry otherwise and go after him, and now they’re both trapped because it collapsed again. Lovely. Henry frustrates me.

So his parents are still alive and kicking, I see. Conning people into giving them things. They’re like sales people? I guess. I can’t believe they’re taking advantage of these poor people. Wait. Why didn’t anything happen to his parents when he put that stuff on them? Oh my gosh. He switched them!! He switched the bottles. You’ve got to be kidding me. What did I expect, though? Sigh. But wait. What happened to the people? No. Way. They’re dolls?? What?! And they have a little boy!! No!!! Oh, this is too much.

Henry is so stubborn. Like I’m glad he doesn’t just give up, but still.  Ooh! They hear Pongo! Yes, go toward the barking!! It’s good that Emma is willing to see reason with the mayor and, you know, work together on something. I still don’t trust the mayor, though. She knows something… They found an elevator! Fancy. Alright, so they’re going to be using explosives to open the tunnel back up. Does that really require everyone in the town? Apparently so. Ugh. Their use of explosives has ruined the plan of the elevator. Sigh. And they explosives didn’t even open the tunnel back up. Dumb. Oh my gosh. I just can’t get over Charming and Mary. I need to remember his name in the real world… Anyway. They’re the cutest thing. So he woke up in a strange land where nothing feels real to him, nothing except Mary!! Be still my heart. That’s adorable. I can’t. Ughhhh. But then the wife shows up and ruins everything. I dislike her. Okay, so take two? Oooh. Yes, the dog can smell Dr. Hopper! He can lead you to the people! An air shaft? Beautiful. Aww. Now Henry is giving the therapy session to Archie. He’s not the man he wants to be. So many parallels to the fairy tale world. I love it. Sigh… Just when it seems like the mayor has a heart, she just acts like an awful human being. Alright. Rescue time. Just gotta get Henry and Archie. Wait. Are they about to kill off Dr. Hopper! No!!!! The thing can’t crash and take him with it. No. No. No. No!!!! Oh. He’s okay. Whew. Minor meltdown over. Alright. Okay. So, I understand a little where the mayor is coming from being protective over Henry, but she doesn’t need to be so rude. Whoa, now. Dr. Archie Hopper is standing up to the mayor. Yes!!! You go, Archie. God bless Dr. Hopper.

Back to fairy tale. He’s making a wish on a star!! Cute. So she can’t bring back the boy’s parents, but he still wants to be able to help him out. Oh my gosh. The crickets. She’s going to turn him into a cricket!!! Jiminy Cricket!!! Oh my gosh. The little boy. It’s Gepetto. Amazing.

Aww!! Archie and Marco. They’re old friends. That warms my heart. Oooh! Crickets!! They’re back! Things are changing in Storybrooke. Ahh! The dolls are in Mr. Gold’s shop. Creepy. Wait! Mary is resigning from the hospital!! No!!! Sad. Okay. What has the mayor just dropped down the air shaft? What is this?? I need to know!!! It seems important!!!!

I really love this show now. I’ve been sucked in, and it won’t let me go. I’ve even got mum into it. We watched the first two episodes before bed last night. She loves it.

Until next time.

OUAT S1E4

It's been far too long since I have 1) blogged and 2) watched Once Upon A Time. So at the challenge of Justin, I sat down just an hour ago and started the next episode.

I love that we meet Cinderella. She's beautiful and I love her. My first reaction was happiness that the fairy godmother was black because it made me think of that one film version of Cinderella that I absolutely love. But then she exploded????

Like??? What???

And of course it's Rumple. I really dislike him. He's grimy and dirty and downright nasty.

She shouldn't be listening to him, let alone signing this contract. Especially without reading it. But I guess when you're desperate to leave a terrible life, you'll do anything to make a better life for herself.

I think it's cute how Henry wants code names. It's a bit ridiculous, but I have a feeling Emma will give in before the end of the episode.

Lord, the sheriff is so attractive. But why is he offering her a job? I don't get it.

Ughhhhh. So okay, the mayor just gets on my nerves. Like why doesn't Emma worry you anymore?? Just because she's lived in a lot of places doesn't mean anything. I feel like Emma getting "roots" will become important at some point. It usually does.

Is it just me or did she totally just spill hot chocolate all over herself?

I don't quite understand why Emma is just taking clothing that doesn't belong to her from the laundromat. But whatever.

Oh!!!! The laundry lady!!! It's Cinderella!!! And she's super pregnant.

But Emma is giving her advice. Well, kinda. Oooh. They're talking about making a better life for herself.

So Rumple/Mr. Gold owns a pawn shop. I suppose this is fitting. But why is this girl sneaking around? She's breaking in? She's knocked Rumple out?? (Not that I mind but you know...)

Why does the mayor tell her son when she'll be back after she tell him not to leave the house? It's like "hey, don't leave, but I'll be back by this time so yeah, but don't leave!" Ridiculous.

Why is Mr. Gold just showing up at their place? Oh. He wants Emma's help. I don't see what this other girl could have stollen from him, especially since he won't say what it is. I just don't like him.

Oh my Gosh. Henry! Why is he everywhere??

I do really like this girl as Cinderella. I was a bit confused by her outfit change, but then it dawned on me that this was a wedding. And Show and Charming are there!!! That's so sweet. I do like that they call her Ella. It's cute.

Wait! Snow bringing up the whole "changing your life" thing! I knew it was important.

Blah. Rumple is back. He's so gross. Wait. Does he seriously want her firstborn child???

Oh, my. This conversation can't end well... Although, I don't think she was tricked... She didn't read the fine print when she signed the contract. But I mean, I understand her wanting to keep her child. It makes sense.

So I'm trying to figure out who this chick is from the diner. I feel like she's Little Red Riding Hood, but I can't be certain.

Ella's prince, whatever his name is, is pretty attractive. I don't understand his father though. He's being a twat.

I do enjoy how they're drawing parallels between the two worlds.

Ahh!! A dwarf! Grumpy, was it? I didn't know what I was expecting, but I don't think that was it. But I like it.

Do they really think putting a curse on Rumple will work, though?

Sigh. Of course the car is crashed. And of course she's having the baby.

Ewwww. He's so gross.

Okay. Ella is trying to get him to sign with the special quill, but he's acting like he knows something. I'm sure he does, but it's so creepy and I don't like it. I mean, at least he signed it, but what does he mean that all magic comes with a price? I'm sure I'll find out soon.

What has he done to the husband??? Sigh.

I don't understand this person's obsession with making deals and contracts and such. Maybe I just don't know much about Rumple in general.

WAIT!

Who is the mayor sleeping with??? I thought she had a meeting??? What is happening??????

What is Henry's code name for Emma? I want to know...

I like how he dropped a shoe running up the stairs. Seems fitting for the episode.

Aww. The boyfriend came to the hospital and brought little baby shoes! That's adorable.

Okay, so Emma is going to become a sheriff. Interesting. She's setting down roots apparently.

Oh. My. God. No. Way.

The sheriff is sleeping with the mayor?!?!?!?!

What is life. I don't even know. I can't process what even happened in that episode. I just. I need a moment. it just makes me want to keep watching but also not because the mayor and the sheriff?? No. Just no.

Until next time. xx

OUAT S1E3

Yesterday afternoon I treated myself to the next episode of Once Upon A Time after I finished one of my classes. It was a nice little treat, if I do say so myself. I'm really starting to find myself falling in love with the characters.

Let's begin!

Normally I get tried of when shows do the whole recap thing, but I really like the one they have at the beginning of episodes. That might be because there's such a stretch between times that I watch it, but who knows?

The scenery in the fairy tale realm is beautiful. I would like to live there, I think.

Now these people in the carriage. Honestly, I didn't recognise Charming right off. But this blonde woman is just weird to me. I don't think I like her.

When he was looking at the tree, I just wanted to scream at him that there was someone behind him, but naturally he didn't hear me.

It got a bit intense when the person stole the horse and everything. But, oh! When I realised it was Snow White who was stealing the things, that's when I made the connection in my head that this man was Prince Charming. About time, too...

Awkward first date scenes make me feel so much secondhand embarrassment for people...even though they're fictional. And the guy she is with is total trash. Like does he have to check out the waitress' butt? And then be so obvious about it? Sigh...

It's still very weird to me how Emma is talking with her mother but doesn't quite believe it's her mother. And also that her mother doesn't realise it either. Also the fact that in this world, she kinda isn't really her mother. Weird.

Ah!! Back at the hospital! I knew this was significant. Little Henry in there with the man who is the prince but is in a coma. Lovely. It's so sad how he's just a John Doe. He doesn't have anyone.

And there's Henry trying to start something. Bless. "I found your father. He's in a coma." Like I understand that everything is steaming from the curse, but like can't there be another reason for things? I suppose not. Anyway.

The whole idea of playing along with Henry to prove to him that his assumptions are wrong is actually a great idea, and it would totally work IF HE WERE ACTUALLY WRONG.

I really think it's so cute how she's sitting in the hospital just reading to him. Like it's super adorable and really sweet.

HOLY CANNOLI HE JUST GRABBED HER HAND!?!? WHAT.

Ugh. This doctor doesn't know anything. I don't like him...... WAIT. Why is he talking to the mayor?? What does the mayor have to do with this??? Ughhhhhh.... I hate her.

Awww. Okay so this whole fairy tale flashback thing is the story of how they met!! So cute!!! I love how sassy they are with one another. It literally makes me so happy. I want a relationship like that.

Alright. Why is the "John Doe" missing? Who did this? I bet it was the mayor... I never liked her. Oh, the security tapes were switched? Who did that?? Anyway, apparently he did get up and just waltz out of the hospital. Wait!! He went into the woods!!! What is wrong with him??

So apparently Snow White did something to the queen to ruin her life... What did she do? I need details... It must have been huge for her to do all of this nonsense to get revenge.

Snow is such a feisty one! She can really take care of herself...until henchmen come out. Then she's in a heap of mess and Charming is in the river so he's of no help.

Welp. I take that back. He just came out of nowhere. He's so lovely...and a great shot. But okay can we talk about how he saved her because it was honourable? Because that is the cutest. Aaaaannddddd now we're right back to the sass. Love it.

I don't like the trolls. They're creepy, and I don't like it. Oooh. Fight scene. Things get out of hand quickly in this series. Wait!! Is she just going to leave him there?! Oh. Oh! Ooooh. She turned the trolls into cockroaches. That's gross but also great? Wait. She saved him because it was the honourable thing to do!!! Be still my heart. I also like that his name is James.

So they're all searching in the woods for this guy... Because that seems so smart. But I might do the same thing actually. Is it significant that there was an "r" added to the sign? OOOOOhhhhh!!! Probably because of the trolls in the fairy tale part of the story. It all adds up. Look at that. Wait! He's there! He's unconscious! Lovely!

But wait again!! She brings him back!! She saves him again!!! I'm so overwhelmed!!

Okay, seriously though. Who is the blonde woman, and why is the mayor here?

His name is "David". What is wrong with you. You're not his wife. You're a poop head.

But Snow and Charming!!! "You'll find me." "Always." I CAN'T EVEN.

Well apparently the blonde and "David" had been fighting and were separated. Sigh. This is not a second chance. You're just ugh. I don't like you.

Why is the mayor so full of crap?? You didn't hear him calling out for "Catherine" on any security tapes. Liar.

But wait!! He is looking fondly at Mary!! Yes!! She is your true love!!! WAIT SHE IS WEARING THE RING OH MY GOSH SHE IS WEARING THE RING SEND HELP

Aww. Emma decided to stay with her!! Yay!!!

Wow. That was an emotional episode. Thankfully they were a lot of happy emotions. For some reason I got really into this episode. But that's totally okay. I loved it. Now that the semester is over, I'll hopefully get to watch the next episode soon.

Until then.

OUAT S1E2

So because I found myself with some leisure time, I decided to treat myself to the next episode of Once Upon a Time.  It's been quite a long time since I've watched a show like this that builds on a storyline as the season progress. So I've forgotten how much detail and backstory needs to be packed into the first season to set the scene for all those who are watching. I've also forgotten how much I love it.

Alright. The episode opens with a concise recap of the last episode. Always helpful to see when you aren't binge watching a show.

They've brought up the clock moving again. And apparently not everyone notices, but Henry and Snow White's character (I forget her name...oops) do notice and it looks as though something clicks in their minds.  (I later learn that this is because it's the beginning stages of the curse being broken. Exciting!)

So the mayor/evil queen has her hands on this book, right? And she is taking some time to look through the pages, maybe to see if she remembers something, I don't know. But she comes to the end and some pages are missing!! Naturally she goes to Henry to find out where they are, and Henry is just his sassy little self. She also sees that the clock is moving and appears to be distraught over it.

Also! Apples!! Don't take the apples!!! Sigh. She is trying way to hard to get Emma to leave. All these threats are just getting out of hand.

Flashbacks are my favourite. Okay. So what I'm gathering from this is that the old guy and the mirror know that this is a bad idea. And apparently villains all know each other and are "friends" kinda.  I love this look for Maleficent.  And I'm also jealous of her miniature unicorn. I am a bit disappointed in the graphics during this scene, but I'm a bit spoiled by what we have today.

So the scene with all of them parked around the campfire is a bit strange. I'm not sure who all of these folks are, but I'm pretty sure they aren't pleasant folks. I don't like the fact that she had to kill something for that heart. Apparently she killed a horse? Sad for the horse, but at least it wasn't a human. Wait. Did the curse not work? Okay. That's cool, I guess.

Ugh!! They make it seem like the hot guy is buying her a drink and it turns out it's just the kid. Sigh. But I guess that makes more sense. Even though I do love the hot sheriff. Anyway.

So everyone in the town lives in a haze.  They don't know anything about their past life.  It's such a strange concept you know? Like they all just showed up in this place. Wait. She's talking to her mother. It looks like she understands who she is talking to!!! Too much. Okay.

I'm not a huge fan of this therapist. He seems like he's up to something. No normal therapist would be acting this way about a patient... OH MY GOSH LOOK AT THAT HE IS WORKING WITH THE MAYOR DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB. Whyyyyyyyyy?????

Ooooh. But hello hot sheriff. Coming to arrest Emma on FALSE CHARGES. But I mean what else did I expect coming from the mayor. This is her second time in prison in two episodes. Fabulous.

Ughhhhh. The stupid mayor interrupting the lesson to tell her son what she's done but make it look like Emma is a "con woman". You're dumb. You're the con woman. Get a life. Way to be sassy, little Henry. Way. To. Be. Sassy.

Aww. Here comes Henry with the teacher to bail her out. And it looks like Emma is going to take matters into her own hands.

Oooooh!!! Taking a chainsaw to the tree. I love it. "You're move." This will only end well.

This old guy keeps popping up and talking sense. I really like him. But the evil queen just seems so hopeless. I feel bad for her, but at the same time... I don't.

But okay, this old guy in prison. Rumplestiltskin? He's crazy. But he also seems really important. Oh!! He's the one who "owns the town" in the non-flashback world. Okay. Anyway. So apparently the heart of the horse didn't cut it because there's something or someone she loves more. Well I should hope so.

Hahaha. "No felons" city ordinance. Woman is kicking Emma out of the hotel because the mayor just called to inform her of the law. Lovely.

Oh I just love looking at the sheriff. He's so pretty. And he is also talking sense to the mayor. Which is a major plus. But, Lord, I really hate the mayor. Trying to make nice but secretly turning Henry against Emma. I only have not nice words for her.

Oooh. Another flashback. My fave. I think it's funny how his face just appears in whatever mirror is closest. Oh, the old guy is back. And praise the Lord he is talking sense. Wait. She's talking like she's going to kill him. WAIT. THAT IS HER FATHER. OH MY GOD NO. THIS IS THE PERSON SHE LOVES AND SHE IS GOING TO MURDER HIM FOR HIS HEART SO SHE CAN CAST A CURSE?!?!?! No. Way. I can't. WHY IS SHE APOLOGISING AND SAYING SORRY???? YOU CAN'T BE THAT SORRY.

Okay. So, yes burn the pages. Get on Henry's good side. Try and figure this nonsense out. Because Lord knows it needs to happen. Ugh.

Oh no. Here it comes. She's just throwing her father's heart in the fire like it's almost nothing. WAIT. Her father's name is HENRY. HENRY. THE NAME OF HER SON.

Lord help. Okay. So what I'm gathering from the conversation between the mayor and this guy is that they probably remember more about their past lives than they lead on... Oh, snap. Did this Rumple guy find Henry and bring him to the mayor??? What does he know?!!???!

Ugh. I hate the ending of episodes when there are still so many questions to be answered. But I think it's safe to say that I'm basically obsessed now. I look forward to getting caught up with current episodes before they start happening again.

Until next time.

OUAT S1E1

I've done something today.

Instead of going to sleep early since I've been so exhausted from life, I allowed myself to be talked into doing something that I've considered doing for awhile.

I started watching Once Upon A Time.

All of my friends who watch it have told me time and time again that I need to watch it. I kept putting it off, telling them I would watch it when I found the time for it. Well, after a lot of peer pressure from Justin...tonight was the night I started it.

Not only did he talk me into starting the series, Justin also suggested I blog about me watching the episodes. So that's what I'm going to do. I'm not sure on what type of format this will take, whether it be recap and reaction or just mainly reaction. I just don't know. All I know is that my mind was just blown.

If you know me very well, you'll know that Snow White isn't one of my favourite Disney films. So when the show opened with Snow White and the dwarfs and Prince Charming, I was a bit disappointed. But I need to keep reminding myself that this isn't Disney and she doesn't have the annoying voice. Anyway.

I immediately dislike the Evil Queen lady. Which makes sense... You're not typically supposed to like villains.

The whole going back and forth between timelines (I guess that's what you'd call them? Maybe storyline is a better term...) is interesting. Especially with what they're trying to get the audience to realise in sequence. I like it.

The actress playing Emma is one that I enjoy watching. Ever since she was on House, MD, I've enjoyed watching her in things. This kid being her son is a bit weird. As is the fact that she's just getting in a car to take him back to his home. Bit strange.

The guy in the dungeon type place is crazy. I forget who he is. But he cray.

Oh! The kid's shrink's dog. I like him. Justin told me he was Pongo. That excites me greatly. Also Prince Charming cursing (if saying "hell" is considered cursing?) is pretty cool. It's weird to see fairytale characters in that light.

But okay. This sheriff guy (who I was later told is the Huntsman) is SO attractive. I could really get into this show.

So I noticed that the teacher was Snow White before it dawned on me that the mayor is the Evil Queen. Oops.

Pretty sure I got emotional after Snow gave birth. Like her husband is taking their child away when the curse is coming and she won't see her baby for like 28 years. It's crazy.

Side note. The clock doesn't move? I'm sure there's significance to this....

I got really anxious when he put the child in the wardrobe. Infants shouldn't be placed somewhere like that. It's common sense. BUT THEN THAT EVIL CURSE GUY KILLED HIM. Ugh. Not okay.

Now this is when I decided that this kid Henry was kinda okay. I like him. He's snarky while being heartfelt. Justin hates him and says I'll grow tired of him soon. We shall see.

When Emma goes back to the house and chats with the mayor, I come to the realisation that the mayor is a huge bitch. Like crossing over into uncharted territory for a fairytale character. I don't like it but I kinda love it? Also, she knows about the book apparently. Or at least that it's a real thing. Lying *insert expletive here*.

Moving on...

The teacher!!! Snow White!!! In the hospital!!! Prince Charming is there!!! Wahhhhh!!!!!!

I remember texting Justin at this point saying that this was really trippy. I don't recall why, though. But I'm sure it was valid.

Oh, wait. The kid watched the clock move. It like moved when Emma decided to stay for the week. I knew that was important!!!!!

So that was fun. I'm actually really excited to watch the whole show now. It's taking so much willpower to not watch the next episode. Hopefully blogging about each of them will help curb my addiction to binge watching shows. We shall see!

Until next time.
