I wonder if maybe both these shows have hit on a winning idea with the whole fairytale thing. I've seen a lot of people who really like Grimm posting on other boards. I think NBC hit on something without knowing it and put the only winning show they have on a bad night.

Emma and her parents being the same age is cause they're frozen in time, she's not. Tis why Henry ages and the others don't, he was born OUTSIDE of their kingdom

Red Riding Hood is the girl at Granny's hotel that has the red streaks in her hair.

Rumpelstiltskin, all I know about him is he wanted someone's first born cause they asked a favor of him, and Malefecent is from Sleeping Beauty

In the case of ABC and Once Upon A Time, I'm not that shocked by it's success. In fact, it seems like common sense, after all ABC is owned by Disney the KING of Fairy Tales and The Wonderful World of Disney, which aired many classic Disney films, aired on Sunday's night for DECADES. So I think part of the audience could be those that remember watching Disney favorites like Beauty & the Beast, Snow White, etc and this show reminds them of that.

I admit I did for a bit think how they could use the Disney version of many elements (Malificent for example), till I realized it's ABC/Disney of course.

Still nto fully sold on the show but I hope she has a hit too--I always associate with her those flop Summer series Windfall (which wasn't great) and Swingtown (which I admit I loved lol).

What kind of household did you grow up in? :cry:

I agree.

I actually think she is very pretty, girl next door looking as snow white should be. Snow White is not traditionally this stunning goddess. The short, pixie hair cut was jarring at first, as i last seen her in Something Borrowed, but its nice and i assume she did it for the show as to differentiate herself more between the fairy tale and the current times.

She's pretty for a normal type of girl (like in her romcoms) but for Snow White? I don't expect a Supermodel or anything. Can't think of another actress right now. I'll have to get back to you on that.

He was born in the Kingdom. He just wasn't there when the curse happened.

I love Rump/Gold too. My favorite scene from episode 2 was the Rump/Evil Queen scene where he tells her the heart must come from someone she loves most.

My second favorite scene of the episode. Go Emma!

And Boomtown!

LOL I was never into fairytales when I was kid.

I really enjoyed this episode. I was not bored at all. James is very sexy in his fairytale get up. He and Snow have sizzling chemistry. I loved how they were looking at the each other in that final scene. Emma finally deciding not to be alone and going to her mother was poignant. The Queen is trying too hard which is why everything that she is doing will bring about the end of the cure.

Next week's episode looks really good. It features Gold/Robert Carlyle which can only be a good thing.

I suspect you will be thinking a long while on that one. If anyone is not good looking enough, it is the actor who plays James Charming. He is an attractive enough man, but he is pretty bland and isn't close to handsome.

    • They even had the same cop investigate the crime lol
    • So I think I figured based on the end credits who is the script writer for each episode. Thursday's episode looked to have been script written by David Kreizman, and it was a well written episode that flowed well. Today's episode looked to have been script written by Henry Newman (son of Fran Myers and the late Roger Newman).   Right now, I've noticed improvements on the day to day scripts and that's a good sign that eventually the long term outlines that we will see in the coming weeks and months will be good.  Fingers crossed.
    • I have a very different view of Dano. For one thing, she like me, loves her little dogs. Another thing, of course she is effusive, outgoing but she is also very vulnerable & she used to have her Frank, her mother & Vivian who officially was her publicist (I think) but she was so much more. Now, they are all gone. Well, except for her always having a pair of her little dogs. But, if I were going to think in your terms, what I would think is "cool aunt". Because this lady is really one cool dame. Here is one of my favorite views of her https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGecq8rJS4w/

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170. 
    • I guess, according to Mike Manning in the Michael Fairman chat, he was almost Derek
