Once Upon a Time Shamelessly Copies Haven (But That's Okay)

Dec 12, 2011 13:20

I've recently been getting into Once Upon a Time, a new show detailing the lives of fairy tale characters who are unknowingly cursed to live in our world by the Evil Queen. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying it and it's different enough that it's no real problem. But after last night's episode, I started thinking about parallels between OUaT and my ( Read more... )

Too funny, I was just discussing this with a friend at lunch today. She was giving me the run down on Once Upon a Time because I was considering watching it and when she was done we both looked at each other and said HAVEN! LOL

Haven owns my fangirl heart so not sure I am going to pick up Once Upon a Time now... especially after she told me what happened to their hottie cop. :(

Whoops hit post comment before saying great run down with great visuals! Very striking similarities I think!

OuaT is totally worth it. Especially since we only get Haven for 13 eps in the summer. OuaT is holding me over until I get my Haven fix next year.

Huh. Haven't seen OUaT, but it does sound very similar.

I've been thinking the same thing - but I didn't make a nice comprehensive list! Thanks for writing it.

Sadly, we do not seem to have Duke parallel in OUaT.

Don't forget, heroine was raised in the foster system with no real sense of family until information uncovered in the town left her thinking about who her biological family might be. Both mayors have an unusual degree of control over their towns.

Good one!

This is amazing. I was just saying to a good friend of mine the other day, "You don't watch "Haven", but the similarities between the two shows is FREAKY." She's a huge "OuaT" fan, but refuses to get on the "Haven" bandwagon. (I need to strap her to a chair and force her to watch, honestly.)

Glad to see I'm not the only one seeing it. Especially the part about the blonde coming to town and joining the PD as a deputy. And when Graham cried out that he couldn't feel anything, I said, "OK, Nathan."

I will, however, take Nathan/Audrey over Emma/Graham any day of the week. I love me some Nathan. Graham was a little one-note. (Which, yes, makes 1X07 all that much more obvious.)
