I love OUAT because of Robert Carlyle. He was the reason I started watching and he didn’t disappoint (not that I expected him to). But whether he’s in full on gold-skin pantomime imp or dark menacing Mr Gold he’s is just so fantastic.
I’d like to also add my love for Mark’s scoring and Eduardo’s costuming. The show is so lucky to have such talented people behind the scenes. In particular I loved the music used behind Rumple and Belle’s wedding. So haunting and beautiful. *hopes for a season three soundtrack*
I love how ridiculous OUAT can be. Walking broomsticks! Warlording Bo-Peep! Magic portal beans! It’s all silly fun 😀 And what makes it even better is that the cast is so good they can make the ridiculousness seem plausible. What other shows can have The Evil Queen introducing Robin Hood to Tinkerbell like it’s normal natural thing that happens every day? Brilliant!
If one is to engage with the primordial forces of darkness, one must expect a little social awkwardness
