Great job! Let’s keep it going.
Today, October 23rd, I love OUAT because of the amazing costumes! Seriously, there are THINGS I am willing to do for Belle’s plaid jacket from 3×10, The New Neverland. And if I had Lana’s figure, I’d pretty much wear that skin tight blue dress from Queen of Hearts every single day.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I love ONCE because every so often, to break the tension of dark magic, they give us unbelievably ridiculous humor. (And sweet revenge)
Just when I wish someone would give The Evil Queen her comeuppance, sweet innocent Ariel comes up from behind and stabs her in the neck with a fork.
Yeah it’s silly, but it’s perfect.
I love Once Upon A Time because the characters are not one dimensional, especially the villains. “Evil isn’t born, it’s made.” Each major villain has a fairly in depth background that makes us understand why they are making the wrong choices. Regina felt wronged by Snow due to indirectly causing Daniel’s death via telling Cora her secret. Rumple used power as a crutch for his cowardliness, and he plotted for hundreds of years to reunite with his son. The very Dark Curse that Rumple manipulated Regina into casting was solely so Rumple could get to a Land Without Magic. Then there’s Killian “Hook” Jones, who lost both his brother and his lover. Liam’s demise resulted in Killian’s transformation to a life of piracy, and Milah’s death sparked a ruthless long pursuit of revenge against Rumple. For a good many of us, these complexities make us want to root for these characters to conquer their struggle with bad tendencies. We sympathize with these characters thanks to the background knowledge the show has presented.
Today, Oct 24, I love OUAT because of the message that “love is strength.” If I were to make a list of my top ten Emma Swan moments, her Care Bear Stare to Cora in “Queen of Hearts” would be on there for sure. It was such a powerful moment.
I also really love her freaked out expression afterwards.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Got rather busy today and didn’t get a chance for this but before bed…
Yesterday, Oct 25, I loved OUAT because Little Red Riding Hood was also the Wolf and that was a super clever twist on a classic tale. It’s also a really great episode.
Today, Oct 26, I love OUAT because of the Rumbelle phone call in “The Miller’s Daughter”
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I love ONCE because, on any given Sunday, it’s like catching up with old childhood friends.
Bo Peep pops in for an unexpected visit. I hadn’t seen her for years, and she’s a bit more demented than I remembered. But it was fun to see her.
And those sweet little kids Hansel and Gretal. I hadn’t thought of them in ages. But it was good to see that they’ve been reunited with their father.
Rapunzel made that short visit, though I wish she had stayed longer, and hope she returns one day.
While I enjoy the visitors who stay for weeks, and months, and even years, I really love the short visits. The short mini stories woven into my Sunday episodes.
I also love OUAT because of how strange it sounds when you explain it to people. “So yeah, dwarfs hatch from eggs… And yeah, Peter Pan was evil and had a son who married Belle… And yeah, Robin Hood is totes getting jiggy with the evil queen (yeah the one who turned into that hag lady) but his dead wife time traveled from the past and now she is frozen by the snow queen who is queen elsa’s aunt and runs an ice cream shop. Oh and prince charming had an evil twin who dated Jack from jack and the beanstalk. Also, Mickey mouse and walking brooms.”

It is probably one of the least predictable shows out there. I can’t watch mysteries because I can figure out the answer due to camera angles.

Also, a wardrobe that has inspired me already for just about every Halloween in my lifetime to come.
