Cool! 
I guess this means more fairy-tale series next season - or at least more fantasy series in general.

Once Upon a Time (ABC) - 1x02 till the bitter end
- Thread starter Temis the Vorta
- Start date
Was it? All I got out of what we saw/heard was that it died, and it certainly seemed to me like she blamed Snow.
Cool!

Well, it means we get a full first season. If it keeps the audience we'll get a second season.
Law & Order - Wonderland. The trial parts would be interesting.
Terra Never. To escape a polluted Earth, a family joins a colony in Never Never Land.
Gingerbread House, M.D.
Munchkin of Interest
Hmmm...Those last two sound Pr0n titles
Really impressed with the storytelling so far. I can easily imagine what the cheesy, one-dimensional NBC version of this show would have been, but thankfully the writing here is a whole lot better than that.
It's actually got real bite and wit to it, and you're never quite sure where it's going to go next.
Plus, come on, Emma taking a buzzsaw to the Queen's apple tree was just freakin awesome.
I don't know, from some of her confused looks I get the impression she's only vaguely aware of her previous life. There might be stuff coming through subconsciously (like with the apples), but I think for the MOST part she's just being an evil, bitchy small town mayor.

Hollywood doesn't wait that long to jump on the Hot New Trend(TM). It's already begun.
Which doesn't mean the trend won't have fizzled by the end of this season.
There's something very familiar about this...I still want to see Law and Ogre and Dragonet.
Yeah, whatever it was, it wasn't the horse. That happened after Queenie was pissed off at Snow.
Yeah, seeing what you guys are saying is making me think I might have connected two unconnected events.
Can they get rid of the modern day bullshit?
I just want the fairytale bullshit.
Ginnifer was breathtaking in those pants.

I think there is.
In the short term, there's discovering all the fairytales living in Storybrooke and figuring out how to help each of them. It is already obvious that there will not be a fixed "care bears stare/forming voltron/forming megazoid" magical cure-all method that will break the curse for all fairytales. Emma is going to have to figure it out on a case-by-case basis.
In the long term, there is Emma White's journey from skeptic to reluctant Emissary of the Prophets to savior of the Alpha Quadrant. Erm wrong show... I mean skeptic to reluctant curse breaker to savior of fairytale land.

I actually think the modern day scenes are FAAAAAAR more entertaining and watchable compared to the tripe ren-fair look of the fantasy elements.
The last episode really had some of the worst looking makeup (the trolls) that I have seen in a VERY LONG time. The fantasy crap just look worse than a low-budget SyFy production.

I'm comparing it to Tenth Kingdom.
Such better trolls.
At least these trolls are not infatuated with the brothers Gib.

Enjoyed the third episode, even though the cutesy banter between Snow White and the Prince felt a bit forced. It wasn't really until the final scene in the hospital, when they give each other those sad looks, that I saw any real chemistry or connection between the two actors.
I still think the show's doing a remarkable job breathing life into these fairy tale characters though-- and not in a cheesy Shrek/Enchanted kind of way. It actually kind of feels like a real place somehow, that you want to get lost in and explore.
And yeah, I agree about the troll makeup. That was just distractingly bad.

I love the way this show handles the emotional lives of the characters, but I'm getting a little antsy for the plot to get somewhere.
As for the makeup issues, well, I was mentally comparing it to the bad CGI last week on Grimm, and I'm not at all sure I'd have preferred that approach. It's TV and they have TV budgets and that's not going to change. Maybe I'll just squint during those scenes.
