Episode 19 certainly kept things interesting.

The things we do for love

Season 3, episode 6...

 

Spoiler

First things first, it was a few episodes back but when Mulan was about to confess her love, who exactly was she about to confess to? Obviously she said she had a thing for Philip before, but the cut to that scene and the way the whole thing played out made it look like it was Aurora she would have confessed to. Props to the show if that's the case. Or maybe I just took it wrong entirely.

 

Anyways, onto more recent events. Bae really needs to cut his father some slack. It annoys me to no end that he hopes Emma can forgive him for what he did, but he's unwilling to give his father the same chance, even if they're not the most comparable of situations. In any case, Gold's a total boss. Bae owes him a sundae when they get back to Storybrooke. Jeez.

 

Hook continues to be amazing, nice back story there. Good to see Ariel and Ursula at last too, been waiting on that. A nice diversion from the whole Pan thing, which is beginning to grate a little. The way Gold and the others talk about him makes him sound like he's damn near omnipotent whilst in Neverland, but all he does is keep appearing to taunt a group member every time one of them wanders off for a bathroom break. I'll hold out hope that he still has an agenda other than simply 'playing the game' that justifies such tomfoolery.

No. The stupidity of his planning is matched only by that of his ears. 

 

Too much to ignore.

Wait wait wait, who's ears? bahaha

[EarthboundNess]

Pan's ears. They're bloody massive. Someone pointed it out in one of the episode's comment sections, and now I can't unnotice it.

I don't know what to tell you, think of it as a Dumbo reference and see if that helps

You know by now that I have to find some character to dislike for entirely trivial reasons. There's probably some deep set psychological reason for that. Idk.

 

Hell, his actor could talk incessantly whilst putting on a South African accent. He could be really bad at it. I'd still hate him.

[LPPrince]

Well, continue on

Watched episode 20 of season 1. I'm in far too much pain to put much effort into forming thoughts so I'll just say I liked it and leave it at that. I'm probably not going to watch more until I can concentrate a bit better.

If she turns out to be a villainess replacement for 'The Hans', I'm gonna be mad pissed.

Read about it earlier, didn't post it tho(someone else has to do these things too )

There to sweep Krist-off his feet HEYO

[EarthboundNess]

Knocking him off his feet would be preferable. Seriously, she can do what she likes to Kristoff. Nobody likes Kristoff. Just leave the Hans and his spin off continuity alone.

Everyone's related

 

How

 

Gonna stop guessing which fairytale characters newbies are, and just guess where they mark up on the family tree.

And here I thought we were damn well done with Pan.

At least he hasn't got his ears anymore.

I finished season 1

 

Spoiler

I enjoyed it for the most part. It had some aspects that were surprisingly good but also a few moments that had me rolling my eyes. As a whole I felt it was a decent season and I don't regret watching it but the length of the season and the series as a whole is definitely not ideal for someone like me.

 

So the things I liked:

 

Rumpelstiltskin and Belle. I figured from all the buzz I heard around this character that he would impress me, but even so he still managed to top my expectations and is easily my favorite aspect of the show. It helps that his story is so strongly tied to Belle (who is my favorite Disney princess to begin with) as well. He is pretty much the ideal tragic villain (for me at least) and another case of a character who is only the villain because he was denied his own happy ending. As I mentioned in a previous post I like that eventually he becomes unable to accept his own happiness even when it's right infront of him. Power corrupts and absolute power is absolutely corrupt. I'm not to familiar with the actor who played him (I do vaguely remember him from 28 weeks later..) but I can say that just from this role alone Robert Carlyle has managed to worm his way into my heart. If there is one thing that will keep me watching this show, it is him (aside from the fact I sort of promised LP I would )

 

Regina was another great character. I do have one potential issue with her type of character in a show like this but it's connected to the way a few things in this show is handled so I'll go into that in just a minute. I have to be honest, I can see why she want's to destroy Snow Whites happiness and will so gladly step on anyone else to get her wish. Is it justifiable? Not really, but I can still understand how she could feel that way. It's a bit sad that she does end up becoming exactly what her mother wanted her to be, although I'm wondering if we'll get to find out more about her mother as the story progresses since her motivations for turning Regina into the queen ****** of fairytales is in a sense what led to Regina using the curse to trap everyone. My favorite thing about Regina though? Her wardrobe. Boy, I hope the next 2 seasons let her have just as much fun with that as season 1 did.

(If I was a girl I would totally cosplay as her )

 

Pinocchio and the Mad Hatter are my favorite of the non-villains (I mean I guess you could consider the Mad Hatter a villain... but I don't) and I felt the direction it took their stories compared to the versions we are use to just fit them both really well by managing to stay consistent with their original stories but still managing to feel fresh and bring something new to the table. I like the idea of the person who seems the craziest actually having a better grip on reality than almost anyone else (unfortunately for him)

 

 

 

The things I didn't like:

 

Maleficent. You know things are bad when you can turn into a dragon but still manage to remain about as dangerous as one of the evil queens guards. Maybe the problem is I just expected too much from her, but it honestly felt like the characters just danced circles around her anytime she was onscreen. Watching Emma kill her just caused me to facepalm and roll my eyes a bit too much. For a show that has handled it's villains so amazingly well I expected more from this iconic villain. Ah well.

 

The on again off again relationship of David/Mary. God(oka) I hope this doesn't continue on for much longer. Don't get me wrong, I do like both characters on their own, but I just can't get invested in these 2 being together which is a bit problematic since it was such a heavy focus in the first season. I admit it is pretty rare for me to get invested in a relationship on a show the way I do for individual characters, but this is just the sort of relationship and drama I don't really care a whole lot about. Hopefully the next season doesn't jerk them around so much in that sense.

 

The ending to season 1 was a bit too predictable (minus the part with magic entering our world). When Regina pulled the poisonous apple out of the fairytale world near the end I pretty much guessed: she would try to feed it to Emma, but instead it would backfire and her son would eat it and Emma would be forced to break his curse and the towns using true love... Yeah I guessed that a bit too well and I would have preferred if it was not so obvious and cheesy. I was a bit taken back by this because other then the first few episodes I didn't have much of an issue with predictability and cheese in the show so I was not entirely expecting the ending to be so straightforward.

 

My final issue is more of a potential one then an actual issue with season 1 itself, and that's the length of the show combined with my basic fear that these type of show's are more interested in going on because people are still willing to watch it as apposed to having any solid point of theme that it's working towards. Eventually the quality just becomes diluted and I'm not saying that's happened yet but it's by far my biggest concern. I don't like when a story jerks the audience back and forth with the same plot points for drama's sake and that appeared to happen in a few cases. Regina sort of has an odd balance between being sympathetic and being a complete ****** and I don't know how much more they can squeeze out of her character in that sense. Anytime she starts to show a bit of her good side she reels herself back in and makes us hate her again and like the on again off again nature of Mary and David's relationship every time it jumps back and forth I lose just a little more investment. I find most of her plot points on their own interesting, but as a whole I don't feel like she's made any significant and meaningful character development yet. I've just had a lot of bad experiences with shows that I enjoyed to begin with just not going anywhere like Smallville, Dexter or Heroes. A good ending is just as important to me as a good villain and stories that just make it up as they go along don't ever seem to have impactful or meaningful endings in my experience. Like I said though, this paragraph is less an issue with the show as it is atm and more of just me voicing some personal concerns, so take it with a grain of salt.

 

Ok well I'll be starting up season 2 soon. I'm wondering if Netflix is planning on getting season 3 anytime soon since that's what I've used to watch the show. I don't mind waiting a bit on the next season if it will be soonish but otherwise I'll have to find... other means. I'll be sure to let you guys know my thoughts on the next season as I watch it, hopefully it doesn't take me as long as season 1 did

[LPPrince]

Each season is drastically different than the others so hmm
