So the big news about ONCE this past week was that ABC officially ordered an extra hour for this season; as this was right after producer Adam Horowitz tweeted that the 8th episode of the season would be two hours long, I think we can assume that's where the extra hour is going. As this half-season continues to move storyline forward each week ( Read more... )

What to ramble about for a paragraph so that no spoilers will show up in the link to this review when I post it to Facebook? Well, whether you're loving it or hating it, you have to admit the addition of the Frozen characters has changed the way Once Upon A Time is telling its stories. Flashbacks are proceeding in chronological order, making the ( Read more... )

I spent most of the past two days (Sunday and Monday) in bed fighting a wicked migraine. I did manage to spend enough time out of bed to catch up on the tv episodes on the DVR that I missed during my business trip, as well as managing to catch this week's Once Upon A Time several hours after it aired.  Since I'm pretty sure sleep will not be easy ( Read more... )

For all intents and purposes, tonight's episode really was the second half of the season premiere, with the main action and flashback both picking up where last week's main action and flashbacks left off. I can understand why ABC didn't want to run a two-hour premiere last week (which would have delayed the season premiere of either Resurrection or ( Read more... )

Continuing Premiere Week reviews with Once Upon A Time.  Another series I always intend to review every episode of, and I've consistently falling off with. I'm really going to try to do better this year.  People have asked what I thought of the second half of season three, the "Wicked is Coming" storyline. Overall, I enjoyed it. I thought there ( Read more... )

I didn't sit down to write this review right after the episode aired for various reasons (partially being problems with the home internet that I hope are resolved now), but the fact that I'm only posting it a day after the episode aired (and not even a full day!) is a step in the right direction compared to the way I've been posting any reviews (tv ( Read more... )

So for various reasons I have missed reviewing the past three episodes of Once Upon A Time. I keep saying "I'm going to catch up in order," and then I fall another week behind. So tonight, I'm jumping to review the current episode, in which we find out exactly how Zelena got to be Wicked. If I have time this week, I'll go back and fill in thoughts ( Read more... )

This review of the mid-season premiere for ONCE UPON A TIME is over a week late. I thought about just folding it into my review of last night's episode but then decided against it. So this will be relatively short, especially in light of how some questions asked in the premiere were answered in the second episode.  As usual, HERE THERE BE SPOILERS ( Read more... )

I'm weeks behind on my episode reviews, so I thought while I'm trying to make my mind up about the ONCE UPON A TIME season finale, I would go back and write up my thoughts on the episodes I missed, starting with episode 20, "The Evil Queen." Big focus on Regina in this one, both in the present and in The Enchanted Forest.
