I watched a few episodes of Once Upon a Time. Definitely not caught up though.

It's fairly interesting. More than I thought it would be. It's very "Lost" in its style of flipping between the present and the past in fairy tale land. Also in how it often relates the past and the present.
And speaking of Lost, my one big fear for this show is that they will let it drag on forever. I really wish this show would have been a miniseries instead (or been a British production), so it would have had a definite end. If it does well, they'll probably just renew it forever, watering it down in the process.
Regina's evilness wears on me a bit. I keep having to remind myself that she's supposed to be this pure evil cartoonish fairy tale character. Not even the mysterious revenge thing has greyed her much in my mind. Mr. Gold is a far better grey character, even though he's supposed to be eviler than Regina.
I'm wondering if Emma is supposed to be Rapunzel, what with the hair and all. :D (I haven't gotten far, so this might be disproved down the line.)
Who's Dr. Whale supposed to be?
I'm sort of surprised that no one's even mentioned Henry's father. (Yet. Maybe this comes later.) I'm guessing he's a fairy tale character as well, but no one knows it.
As far as the end game on all this, I wouldn't mind a reset button of sorts. (Even though I generally hate reset buttons.) It'd be nice to revert back to the moment that they put baby Emma in the wardrobe, but letting everyone keep their memories for character development and so on. Then Emma can grow up with her parents, and they can tell her the story of how she was awesome while giving her archery lessons or something.
