This series has characters from all fairytales... Disney and the original fairytales based on The Brothers Grimm's stories and Hans Christian Andersen too.

I love this episode so much!!! Thank you very much for another great reaction! I really love both the past storyline with the Evil Queen in the Enchanted Forest, as well as in Storybrooke. My favorite scenes being between the Evil Queen and Rumplestiltskin in his prison when she asks about the curse and it's revealed that she must crush the heart of the thing you love most. And between Madame Mayor (who's name I believe has yet to be said at this point) and Mr. Gold in the very end by Regina's apple tree. The actors who play them play off of one another very well. They're both brilliant and their characters are so powerful and scary. I quite agree with you that these scenes are the best. As for how Gold appears to be awake... from Regina's face of shock upon realizing that he must be, it's clear she never intended for him to be. However, him possibly being aware of the truth, has everything to do with knowing Emma's name. That's the key. :) I also really love the friction and battle of whits between the Mayor and Emma too. They also play off of one another very well. I think it was hilarious that Emma cut one of the branches from her apple tree, because Emma sensed the Mayor's threat towards her in the beginning when she came to give Emma a basket of apples. That was the point of Emma doing so... even if it was illegal. Next... I really loved the scene between the Evil Queen and her father just before she kills him by ripping out his heart with her bare hands. It's so dark and yet so sad too because you really seen the pain her doing so causes her. I also really loved that we find out the Henry is named after her father. I also really enjoyed this show's portrayal of Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty too. She is really dark and creepy, and I love that her castle is in the Forbidden Fortress. As for her having blonde hair... she's rarely seen with any hair at all in any story of Sleeping Beauty because she usually wears the black cowl with horns which covers up her hair. The only time outside of Once Upon a Time in which we see her with dark hair like you stated is in the movie Maleficent with Angelina Jolie, when she wears her hair down. And lastly... I really loved the moments between Emma and Mary Margaret. How Mary Margaret helps Emma by bailing her out of jail, tells Emma that she feels like she knows Emma and that she trusts her, and encourages her to stay in town to take care of Henry. There are some really beautiful moments between them in this episode. Thank you so much again. I really enjoyed your reaction for it and I'm so happy you're continuing to love this show. That end scene between Gold and the Mayor get everyone so intrigued to watch more. I can't wait for your reaction for the next episode!!! Snow Falls is one of my favorite episodes from this season, so I'm so excited! Until then...

One of the great things about this show is the villains. In a lot of TV shows we're supposed to just accept they are evil and we hate them but on this show, it tells us that most people are not born evil, that bad circumstances can lead people down a very dark path so I love the flashbacks because each episode we are piecing parts together and making more sense of everything as we go a long.

Mary Margaret is Snow White I need to remember that I kept calling her snow white. Gonna be an interesting journey to see what I call characters

Once Upon a Time is definitely a "long game" show. I've heard criticisms that it's too slow at times, but there's so much to unpack and so many layers to the story. And, yes, every episode has both the "real time" Storybrooke story as well as the flashback fairy tale scenes. You get lots of character development as time goes on.

lol - "why would you curse yourself?" That, my friend, is an excellent question.

I liked this episode way more than the first, I feel like you could probably cut out most of the fat and just combine these first two episodes into one and have that be the pilot for a better viewing experience imo. Mr. Gold being revealed to "know" would be a better cliffhanger for the pilot episode than episode 2.
