Once Upon a Time - pilot. Warning: probable obsession ahead.

[dangermousie]

Also, probable obsessive ship.



Yes, I have reverted to being six years old and am shipping Snow White/Prince Charming. Rabidly. I have no shame.

Anyway, I just finished the pilot of Once Upon a Time and loved loved loved it to bits (yes, even the omniscient kid didn't annoy me). It's just the right amounts of cheesy and intriguing and twisty and with all these characters I cannot wait to see develop. I like Emma, the protagonist, a lot, but I confess being more interested (so far) in the fairy-tale transplants - the Evil Queen, Snow White, Prince Charming, Rumpelstiltskin (OMG Robert Carlyle OMG!), the Sheriff (anyone taking bets on the Sheriff being the Big Bad Wolf?).

It's a ridiculous amount of fun. And so very pretty. The time-bending stuff is going to give me splitting headaches as it will get more complicated but I know I am going to love it.



Evil Queen as a modern Mayor. I kinda love her, even if in a 'I want Snow White and Emma stomp you into dirt" way.



Sheriff and Emma. My spidey sense is telling me they are setting them up. Maybe because if they do want a romance for Emma, he's the only one available so far unless she's into Jiminy Cricket :P



Rumpelstiltzkin, ILY. Just because of who you are played by.



Kid, you are less annoying than I thought but you are still Mr. Exposition Annoying.



OTP!!!!











Just as in a kdrama, if you have two minutes of happiness, disaster follows. In this case, Evil Queen with Evil Curse. Presumably not the curse of looking goth a la Target. Hey, as long as Prince Charming is still pretty.























Of course I ship them. Check out the woobie angst! Also, damn, Snow White is tough - I couldn't even move after childbirth, let alone confront Evil Queens with the dead body of my sexy sexy sexy husband. Also, really random, but baby and sword combo reminded me of Three Kingdoms (with just as good a result as baby went through interdimentional portal and got saved and grew up to be Emma. Whose parents (who she doesn't know) are her own age because time is frozen - freaky).



























































In modern day, he's an anonymous coma patient and she's a teacher. She doesn't remember him, of course. How kdrama.












So yeah, v.v.v. in love. Even if it is sort of a rip-off of Fables.

Have an ep 2 preview:

I hope the ratings are good! I need this to stick around. I enjoy Ringer, but I am rabid about this one. (Haven't yet gotten to Revenge, Pan Am or Homeland, my other potentials of the season).
