Once is Back!
Once Upon A Time - the only show on television where you can watch three generations of the same family trying to defeat a wraithdementor armed with only two broomsticks and a hat - is back! Yay!
Anyway: Rene from True Blood! Regina in peril! Swan Queen! Mulan! Aurora! Mulan being the Brienne to Aurora's Catelyn! Dementors! Regina in more peril! More Swan Queen! That super awkward moment when you realise your best friend is your long lost mother and you know way too much about her sex life! That other super awkward moment when you've go a guy pinned to a wall an your about to rip his heart out and your kid walks in on it!
You know, I just realised that Once did the reverse of the Amy, Rory and River storyline - and did it way better.
Just please tell me the whole Belle/Rumple storyline is going end with her realising that staying with a guy to 'fix' him is a really, really bad idea and in doing so the show can subvert the dodgy as hell moral of Beauty and the Beast. Particularly when contrasted in the same episode with Henry having the good sense to walk away from Regina for being evil and in doing so illustrate Belle's got less common sense than a ten year old. Hopefully she'll quickly ditch Rumple and join the Emma, Snow, Red, Mulan and Aurora (with occasional member Regina when she feels like it and she's in a not-so-evil mood) band of badass Disney Princess with swords.
Also, The Thick of It
Malcolm you evil bastard! Poor, poor Nicola. He couldn't think of way to bring her down without so much public humiliation? Although, Ben Swain got exactly what he deserved. Still, her “I really thought I could be Prime Minister” was a bit heart breaking, as deluded as that dream was.
Are Glenn and Ollie officially a bromance? Glenn helping Ollie get to the loo was another one of their oddly sweet moments.
The references to Peter and Nicola's marriages have become a strange little highlight of this show for me. I just think it's super cute that Peter seems to have a rather strong relationship with his wife, despite the past affair, while the revelation that the reason why Nicola hasn't divorced her useless husband is cos she'd end up with the kids was brilliant.
