I am still trying to put together my thoughts for a blog the properly conveys my new found undying love for Parks & Recreation so that it doesn't contain any significant spoilers for Kacey since she hasn't watched it yet, but makes her neglect her life to catch up on Netflix. However, while that is still in the works, I wanted to write a little bit about how much I am enjoying Once Upon a Time, the new fairy tale show on ABC. The show is aesthetically pleasing (beautiful visuals!) with great characters (excellent casting) and a plot that I am already trying to figure out (even scouring the internet for what other people think). I love it when I am left asking questions and wondering where all the pieces fit in, not to mention I get to discover this whole new world with its own rules and structure. I could not be more excited. Here are my questions/thoughts so far:
1) Does Regina remember that she is the evil queen or not? I assumed that she did following episode 1, but after last week there was some ambiguity that made me think her spell may have had some unforeseen circumstances that resulted in her being a little bit clueless.
2) Mr. Gold! Talk about the key to the whole curse. We learned so much last week despite his minimal screen time, but he is clearly the puppet master. Does he know everything in this new world, or just enough? I'm sure it'll come back in part to the power of names, but I am definitely intrigued.
3) Who did the Evil Queen lose? I was thinking that it was a child, which is why she clings to Henry, but this week it seemed that Henry was more a fill in for her father, so perhaps it was a love interest/husband.
4) Where does the show go from here? This is honestly my only concern, how long can this go on? Of course, since everyone is making Lost comparisons (fair, since the creators came from there), I will note that one of the reasons I didn't watch Lost when it started was that I wasn't sure how long they could drag out people on a deserted island. I mean eventually they had to get rescued, right? Given that I was wrong about the rescue meaning the end, I'm sure that the creators have a plan for our fairy tale friends. And if nothing else they can just call up their friend JJ and use some red matter to start an alternate timeline.
