Once Upon A Time

^Yeah, I definitely thought that she did. 100%.

There are a ton of Lost references, I listed a few a few pages back. There's also a million unspoken fairytale references. The best thing I can say from the scripts I've read, is that everything is relevant, never discount a glance or something in the background.

That's one of the things I ADORE about thsi show--everything demands attention because it could be relevant later. The romance and drama of fairytales in general are timeless, and I think the writers are combing this with the modern story in a better way than anyone could have expected. Snow/Prince Charming, aka Mary Margaret/John Doe, are just amazing and I am eager to watch all kinds of beloved and familiar characters to show up. Emilie de Ravin as Beauty should be great!

Emilie de Ravin better not be blonde when she is playing Belle.

 

[advo]

^THIS, lol

And darn, all I wanted in the episode was for Snow and Charming to make out but they got interrupted by his faux!wife. Major ugh. Seriously though, so much chemistry between Ginnifer and Josh!

Emilie de Ravin is getting lost in a whole new fantasy world. On the Valentine's Day episode of ABC's Once Upon a Time, tentatively scheduled for February 12, the former Lost star steps into the slippers of Beauty and the Beast's Belle. "Emilie projects a very natural strength and warmth, which are characteristics we wanted to explore with Belle," explains Adam Horowitz, who, along with writing and producing partner Edward Kitsis, kicked off a six-year stint on Lost writing a Claire scene.
While this take on Beautywill veer from the traditional tale as old as time, Edward says Belle will interact with her father, crazy old Maurice, the brutish Gaston and, of course, the Beast. (Alas, no singing dinnerware.) "We have a fun spin on it," he says. Later this season, expect visits from Aladdin and his genie!

 

[advo]

Not exactly dying to see Belle since I'm no fan of Emily. But very excited for their take(s) on the Beast.

 

[pixiedust1603]

She looks beautiful as Belle! And I really love Snow and Charming together, he's so, for lack of a better word, charming and she's adorable.

 

[YoninahAliza]

Looking forward to seeing OUAT's take on Beauty and the Beast. Thank goodness she's a brunette, it would've been annoying if she had been blond. Does anyone know who will be playing the Beast? or Gaston? And I'm really psyched to see Aladdin and Jasmine later on in the series, they are one of my favorites.

Epi 7 'The Heart is A Lonely Hunter', which I think will be Dec 11, is the one I'm looking forward to, there's something big coming! I got so excited when I was reading the script at home, I got told off by my boyfriend for squealing!
I have to say this weeks episode, Robert Carlyle, even in the little part he did, was brilliant. His Rumplestiltskin is so creepy, it's genius!

I am psyched for Sunday's ep about Prince Charming, which seems to feature a LOT of Mary Margaret/David stuff! But your enthusiasm for the next ep is exciting to hear, littlepaperstars--from the title, I'm guessing it's Huntsman related? That "something big" sounds happy instead of depressing, like the end of episode three. As for Rumplestiltskin, it seems like he's interacting so much with each story in the fairy tale world that maybe he, instead of Evil Queen/Regina, is the real central villain.

Looking forward to the Beauty and the Beast ep--I, too, would have RIOTED if Belle wasn't brunette. Aladdin should be cool as well, though I hope one day the series gets to fairy tales, aside from Little Red Riding Hood, that Disney hasn't animated yet! (Like maybe The Princess and the Pea or The Ugly Duckling?)

 

[YoninahAliza]

^Oh that would be so neat to see fairytales that Disney hasn't done yet. Also, I think The Twelve Dancing Princesses or The Goose Girl would also make for interesting interpretations too. They are probably less known then some other fairy tales but I think they'd make for an interesting storyline.

 

[wickedcrazyness]

Ok, Emilie looks good as Belle, dark hair and all. Can't wait to see the Beast, Gaston and Maurice too. And super excited for Aladdin and his genie!

And Prince Charming really is charming.

 

[jemina]

^^Charming looks great but I can't stand the actress who plays his wife. There is something annoying about her

 

[heelscatchfire]

I must have missed this but where is it confirmed about Aladdin?

 

[littlepaperstars]

Little article from E, could be a little spoilerish!

[YoninahAliza]

Interesting article, thanks for sharing. I really like how the producer said that those who work on the show are always thinking about what the characters are feeling, I think that's reflected in the show. Now I have a question which may sound incredibly dumb but I'm wondering if Mary Margaret/Snow White is Emma's mom then what will happen if/when they go back to the fairytale world. I mean, they look like they could be the same age... it's kinda weird. Anyone else think this to?

 

[wickedcrazyness]

^Yes, I have thought about that too. It's hard to know what would happen really.

The new episode was so good! It was mostly centered around Prince Charming.
My "Episode 6 - The Shepherd" review
-In the fairytale world, Prince Charming's mother (the Queen) and father (the King) could not conseive a child, so they made a deal with Rumplestiltskin in order to have a baby. Prince Charming was the baby given to them. Here's where it gets complicated... Years later, James (aka Prince Charming) accepts a payment from King Midas to kill a dragon, after proving himself by slaying a bad guy. But just as he’s about to go, the bad guy somehow makes one last stand and kills James. King Midas didn’t see it, so the prince’s father tries to save the kingdom by sending someone else. He calls upon Rumplestiltskin, once again, to bring back his son. Rumplestiltskin appears. He says he can't bring James back to life, but he could get his twin brother. (Yes, twin brother). Then it flashes to James' twin brother, who is a shepherd, herding sheep in a field. He gets all of the sheep into a pen and stops to talk to his mother. They speak about how the mother hopes he will marry someday hopefully soon. That is when Rumplestiltskin appears. The boy finds out that his mother gave James, as a baby, to Rumplestiltskin in order to be able to keep the farm they live on because she had no money. The boy questions his mother about how she could have given her own son to that man. Rumplestiltskin tells the boy that he wants him to slay a dragon and it will save the farm, as they are once again broke. He agrees, to protect his mother and the farm. Rumplestiltskin delivers the boy to James' father. Pretending to be James, the boy goes with the knights to slay the dragon. He is instructed to stay back as it is the knights who will fight, not him. All of the knights die and he (somehow) kills the dragon. He brings the dragons head back to the prince's father. King Midas offers Prince James (or so he thinks) his daughter’s hand in marriage. He’s about to tell him the truth but the prince's father tells him that if he says anything he’ll destroy the kingdom, and threatens to kill his mother and burn the farm. The boy agrees to marry King Midas' daughter, Abigail, in order to save his mother. From then on he was Prince James. I hope that made sense because it was hard to explain! (I know I left out a few things. Sorry!)
-Back in Storybrooke, David's "wife", Kathryn, in the fairytale world is the daughter of King Midas, who is the "everything he touches turns to gold" person.
-Poor Mary Margaret, she went to the bridge to meet David, but he was brainwashed by Mr.Gold on the way there. (It figures. That would've been too easy).
-Emma is driving home and sees Graham sneaking out of Regina’s window. “This is volunteering?” she asks, as that was the excuse Graham gave earlier as to why he needed Emma to work his shift. He admits Regina didn’t want Henry to know and that’s why he was sneaking out the window. “I really do work at an animal shelter,” he pleads. Emma throws the keys at him and tells him to finish her shift.

The episode was good! I was very surprised by the direction that the Prince's storyline went in. I didn't see that coming at all.

Can't wait for the next episode! It seems like the Sheriff might realize that he is the Huntsman! But the preview also says that someone might die!

 

[Cinthia]

this series just keeps getting better. i wonder if there's more to James's wife. she didn't seem happy to marry him in the fairytale world. maybe she was in love with someone else.

preview of episode 7

 

[beeandthecity]

The latest promo looks exciting!

I have to say i was surprised by whole Charming storyline and i felt so sorry for Margaret. Can't wait for the next episode

 

[littlepaperstars]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, epi 7 is the big one. The one that made me squeal. I think this show is just going from strength to strength as are the cast, they're all rather fabulous. I know whats coming up and it's so exciting!
