Once Upon a Time Premiered on ABC on October 23, 2011



From the inventive minds of Lost executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis comes a bold new imagining of the world, where fairy tales and the modern-day are about to collide.

And they all lived happily ever after – or so everyone was led to believe. Emma Swan knows how to take care of herself. She's a 28-year-old bail bonds collector who's been on her own ever since she was abandoned as a baby. But when the son she gave up years ago finds her, everything starts to change. Henry is now 10 years old and in desperate need of Emma's help. He believes that Emma actually comes from an alternate world and is Snow White and Prince Charming's missing daughter. According to his book of fairytales, they sent her away to protect her from the Evil Queen's curse, which trapped the fairytale world forever, frozen in time, and brought them into our modern world. Of course Emma doesn't believe a word, but when she brings Henry back to Storybrooke, she finds herself drawn to this unusual boy and his strange New England town. Concerned for Henry, she decides to stay for a while, but she soon suspects that Storybrooke is more than it seems. It's a place where magic has been forgotten, but is still powerfully close… where fairytale characters are alive, even though they don't remember who they once were. The epic battle for the future of all worlds is beginning, but for good to win, Emma will have to accept her destiny and fight like hell.

Emma wheel clamping the car was amusing and the way she knocked him out was great but Henry turning up unexpectedly was interesting and her alibi was rock solid when Henry disappeared again

Yeah that was amusing the way she set up that guy was unpredictable but henry finding her was strange . That was good albi. This series has so many good actress you really have to give the show a shot. Snow white getting married and being pregnant was not in stories i remember but it's been a while since i read fairy tales. The two different time-lines certainly made this series very watch-able. Henry managed make her stay clock starts moving. I have to say this good start to the series.

I  think this may have been one of the best premiers to-date!!  The season has so much potential and I cant wait to meet the fairy tale characters.  . Great intro. What is Emma gonna do n storybrook though?  Who can she hunt?   And is Henry exempt from the curse b/c he was born there?   

Gonna b great!!

I loved the premier with her wish coming true. I already hate the evil queen because she doesn't love the little boy and because she was mean to the mother. (I know, I know she's evil) And I feel sorry for the kid for having to live with her. But great that Emma is staying and nice surprise with the futureteller to be so succesfull. I wonder how much of his soul he had to sell for that and how much power he had over Emma since he knows her name and I guess he can still remember everything unlike the other characters.
Emma telling the mayor about the kid's view on the storybook wasn't smart, but she couldn't know that.
The clock starting to move was great and so was the kid's castle.

Well the second episode was much better than the first episode. This episode was how the curse was given and how the first attempt was a failure but you really have to be cold stab your own father.   But it was interesting to see how Henry is significant to her.

So Rumplestilkskin knows what's going on or he's just creepy?

Loved getting some back ground into the witch.  I think when we find out who her man was we'll have a better idea of her pain.  This hate and hurt she's cause is all just a release for her pain.    But still.....  Enough lady.  We get it. Killed your faaaather, created new world as punishment blah blah.   

Love that Snow and Charming might find each other again.

I agree it was a good episode with Emma taking the spare room and john doe waking up. but what I don't get is that emma didn''t catch that last lie of the major. i thought she could always tell when people were lying.

I agree, she should have known better then accept that deal. Especially since she has dealt with criminals before.
But it was nice that the guy came back and I think we got our first happy ending.
But the police guy sleeping with the major, I think we all already knew that.

Henry was lucky that he didn't get trapped but he really needs to learn something that can never happen i know he's a kid but what he did was rather dangerous and he didn't even care,

I agree that what he did was dangerous, but he probably didn't even realize it. But he was right there was something down there. I'm still wondering what it was. I guess pieces of the church windows or something.

nope it was snow whites coffin.    So the thought is that the Mayor knows about the curse....maybe.  ehh

Henry should think more about what he's doing.  He knows a mine shaft is not a place for anyone.

Margaret (Snow White)  quiting the hospital so she won't be tempted by the Married Prince Charming is totally sucky!  blah.

When the lift collapsed i thought Archie was a goner and the Mayor's face when she found out that Emma was deputy was amusing
Author: kellemanske    Time: 12-3-2011 05:39

I thought it was obvious that the major knew about the curse cause she was trying so hard to make henry forget and because of the episode in which mister gold came to remind her about there agreement before the curse.

i'm not a big fan of prince charming going after snow white, and then subsequently dumping her to go back to ficticious wife.  She was a shrew (fairytale).  What was rumple's agenda in all this.??
Author: shinny    Time: 12-11-2011 09:02

I think they were trying to demonstrate that he's a very honourable man. As much as we didn't want him to go back to Catherine I think he wouldn't have been the man he was if he didn't. But, it's all going to right itself in the long run....right!!?

Well just as soon as somoene starts getting their memory back, he's killed off.  No chance that the Mayor/Queen doesn't remmeber everything.  I was hoping the woodman would help pave the way for Snow or someone else to remember.  He was killed in the story though, wasn't he.

Wow, she actually squished his heart in her hand.  Eww

Graham saying Henry is the only one that is making sense was amusing but after the story from the book it did make more sense and it's a shame Emma didn't lock her in her own tomb, Regina being the one so far that remembers both sides of the story should be interesting

glad to know about rumple.  Wondering what happened to his son.  Must have died if he's not in storybrook.  

Regina is a great villian, but mr gold is just creepy.  He's always a few moves ahead.  We know regina knows about the curse, does Mr Gold??

Mary Margaret running from Prince charming was funny!    Scaredy chicken.

The Stranger having a typewriter in the box does lead you to think his is the writer of Henry's book and both of them going to the cafe at the same time just to see the each other was amusing but letting slip about the pregnancy test predictable and killing the 8th dwarf Stealthy was a new twist on the fairytale

David not telling Kathryn the whole truth backfired big time but i thought it strange when Kathryn was leaving town so going off the road in front of the sign was predictable as no one is supposed to leave and Prince Charming's dagger falling in the lake right where he deeded it was convenient but not so lucky for Siren

Ruby turns around and leaves the restraunt and then goes back after just a couple days.  I did enjoy that she had alot less make-up on at the end.  She looked prettier.    OUaT is going to have to work on their plots.   The stories are fine, but the loose ends are annoying and the plots need to go faster!!!

So the box belonging to Mary explains her prints but saying it was stolen will be hard to prove considering she lives with Emma and there has been no sign's of a break ins but finding the knife has made it even worse, David going to Dr. Hopper to recover his lost memories was interesting considering he remembered Snow wanting to kill the Evil Queen
