So did anyone see this show last night? The premise seems really good. If you haven’t seen or heard of it, it’s all about our childhood fairytale characters. The only difference is it takes place in present day. Long story short, the Queen wants to ruin everyone in fairy tale land. Her most biggest evil? Basically everyone is moved to the “real world” and all the characters live in this one city called Storybrook. The problem is that everyone doesn’t remember who they are. Another thing, they’re all humans (maybe/maybe not, I’m not sure).
The first episode or what everyone calls the pilot, I thought it was pretty engaging. The boy for some reason knows the whole truth from this one book his teacher gave him who is actually the Princess. The evil queen is the boy’s adopted mother who seems like the one of the few who still knows what’s she done. The boy sets out to find his real mom who is actually the Princess’s daughter (Emma).
I know I know, it does get kind of confusing, but you’ll get it when you watch the show. Anyways the adopted mother is very mean to Emma who you can tell already know something is already going off. All the while this is happening, we get a lot of flashback/interdimensional shot to fairy tale land of what aspired to the current event.
As far as production, the fairytale sets look great. The studio in charge did a great job. Then take the special effects and you can tell they put a bigger budget compare to Terra Nova. With One Upon A Time, it looked like it could have been a movie. It felt pretty grand.
I’m looking forward to next week’s episode. I’m also looking forward to see Grimm as well. I’m such a sucker for fantasy type shows. Hopefully the executives don’t pull the plug on them with out first finishing a story. I hate it when they do it (Terminator, The Event, V, etc). If you want just a sample of what you see check out the video below. From what I’ve heard, this show isn’t for the little one’s.
