I hope this weeks ratings was just because Football got such high ratings. 3.4/8 is still great, but those 3.8's were nice three weeks in a row.

No matter what you think, I DO love you.

Def enjoying the series. The first 3 episodes were great. Cinderella episode was kind of a downer but the Jimminy one was better.

Love, love the Evil Queen and was super excited her only friend was Maleficent, I hope to see more of her during the coming episodes and I hope we get to see her in Storybrook.

Little Henry annoys the shit out of me, haha. He was cute for like a minute and as "evil" as his adoptive mother is, she is still his mother. I haven't seen enough evidence that she treats him badly for him to be acting the way he is towards her. And I'm not buying the instabond/love he's got going with Emma. It kinda really annoys me. I get it, she's his birth mother but she did sign him over in a closed adoption.

I hate rooting for the bad guys because at the end of the day, they lose :( LOL I shall enjoy the ride as the curse continues to crumble and they keep the slight advantage.

I noticed Gepetto's doll parents in the pawn broker shop, it was right next to the Genie lamp (can't wait to see what other character stories we're going to get). I also noticed the glass unicorn mobile during the Cinderella episode that little Emma had in her nursery back in Fairytale land.

The Sheriff as the Huntsman is perfect. I've been trying to figure out who he could be and I think you guys got it! Looking forward to seeing that "triangle" play out. I was kinda excited the Sheriff was revealed as the mayors FBuddy :thumbsup:

Awww, Mischa. Stop. You're gonna make me blush!! :wub2:

Mischa, you didn't catch that the Enchanted Forest was below the surface? It clearly showed it at the end... :)

I myself was pretty happy to discover what it was that the Mayor picked up at the beginning and threw down the hole at the end. (Henry also found a piece of it in the mine, but wasn't able to hold on to it because of the avalanche.)

Yes, Carolyn Hennessy is from GH, but I don't watch that show. I know her from her work as "Barb" on ABC's comedy Cougar Town. :)

they never came out with what exactly was trying to escape was the one flaw.


It was the Enchanted Forest (or as I call it.. "Fairytale Land") trying to break through. Why do you think the Mayor wanted to destroy the mine and pave over it so bad? ;)


All reruns tonight my favorite night to watch tv, I think I will rewatch this episode on primetime on demand. You all are so observant. I shared you information with people I know that never go online to chat about shows. I explained the show to a cousin yesterday and she plans on watching on her ipad. We will get the ratings back to 3.8 if not higher.

I'm starting to lose interest in this show. I'll give it a few more episodes, but the last 2 have been dullsville for me.

I think his feelings for her aren't really based on how she treats him, but on the fact that he knows what she's done.

My favorite relationship to watch on the show is Snow White and Emma's. It's just weird.

I suppose if he does think she's the Evil Queen, she has done some evil things, lol. Makes sense but he still annoys the shit out of me, haha.

It's definitely weird, but interesting. Some days Snow White looks younger than Emma, lol. Not digging Storybrook's Snow White/Charming story right now only because he's "married" to someone who seems to be legitimately nice. I know he's meant to be with Snow White but it just rubs me the wrong way when he's all goo-goo eyed over her. They were really cute as their Fairytale Land alter-egos though.

I'm curious to see where the Emma/Sheriff/Regina story will go. I'm kinda bummed that the curse is breaking slowly, I hope Regina turns bat shit crazy as the episodes to go overcompensate for her weakening curse.

It's okay. The kid annoys me to absurd levels, as well. And someone really needs to implant a tracking device in his neck or something. If this were real life, he'd have been taken away by Child Protective Services by now.

I don't understand why she keeps leaving him. She knows he's going to leave, lol.

So after tonight's ep...Rumple is definitely worse than the Evil Queen. He's into everything! Gah!

I love how EVERY fairytale is being used. Midas and the golden touch etc. I was afraid that they'd only use the prince/princess type fairytales.

And I got to thinking...Emma is now as old as her parents. When someone remembers, will they revert to their real age?

I'm glad the focus of tonight's episode shifted back to Charming/David and Snow White/Mary Margaret. I was beginning to lose interest with all the other stuff that was introduced the past few episodes.

I felt so bad for Mary Margaret when David told her he was staying with his wife. I wanted to slap him. How do you tell someone "I love you so much, I want to be with you forever" and then turn around an hour later and say, "Nevermind, just kidding! I'm staying with my wife." All because of a windmill? Pssh.

Meanwhile, I love what a bitch Regina is. She purposely gave David the wrong directions so he would see the windmill at Mr. Gold's shop and remember his life with his wife. How deliciously devious. I hope we eventually find out what Snow White did to make her hate her so much.

Tonight's episode was pretty dull for me. Aside from Regina giving David wrong directions on purpose, and Mary Margaret in possession of Charming's mother's ring, there wasn't anything interesting going on.

The twin thing was stupid. For a second, I thought Prince Charming might be doubling for Jack and the Beanstalk.

Not sure why they brought a Greek mythological character like King Midas into a fairy tale-based story....

Looks like someone dies next week, and I have a pretty good idea who it is.

I agree. Rumpelstiltskin has been featured more than the EQ at this point. (Way too much, IMO) How are we supposed to believe she's the more evil of the 2?

Abigail seemed like a real bitch ("You'll do").... so why the F is Kathryn so sweet and understanding?

And judging from the promo, all Emma needs to do is walk around kissing everyone to make them remember. LOL!!

Mary Margaret's hair bothers me. I get that Ginnifer looks good with shorter hair, but not THAT short.

I'm still anxious to see the moments after the curse went into effect. How did everyone get to where they are now? Did they all magically teleport into Storybrooke, or did they walk there? And how did everyone make sense of everything?

What occurred to me last night was - are they not aging in the real world? Because it was my understanding that Emma as a baby was sent through the porthole, then not long after - moments? - the curse went into effect and everyone went to the real world ... now Emma has grown up, and everyone else is still the same age? That confuses me.

I think everyone in Storybrook doesn't age but outside do.

Mary Margaret/David are my favorite part of the show.

Mr.Gold is the worst.

I want to know who was Regina's lost love. How did Snow White ruin everything for her?

I liked the last episode because the bad guys won a little. I was sick of everything going the good guys way just because Emma was in Storybrook. David is an ass, first he irritated me with his being in love with Mary Margaret upon his waking :eyeroll: to the point where he wasn't willing to give it a try with this wife and walk out on her. Then when Mary finally gave in, he decides to be a douche by telling her he can't be with her...what an asshole.

Did anyone notice the Midas flub when he introduced his daughter to the king and James? He had called her Kathryn, and I wondered why she was the only one (besides Emma) who had the same name in Storybrook and in the Fairytale. But then later the called her Abigail.

He introduced her as Abigail when I watched.... :unsure:

I still don't get what a Greek mythological character was doing in a show about fairy tale characters?...............

Time in Storybrook was stopped due to the curse. No aging. The clock tower in town stayed at the same time (the time the curse struck) until Emma came. Now that part of the curse has been broken and time is now running, the clock is now functioning.

Emma aged because she grew up outside of Storybrook.

The writers are going to include characters from all stories and books we grew up with, not just fairy tale characters. Pretty sure I read that somewhere.
