ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast
Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
Long time viewer, just recently discovered the podcast this summer.
My take on this episode.
Not bad for a reboot. Unfortunately, Damian Ramirez is a terrible actress and is not doing any kind of justice to Cinderella. I have never been a fan of hers and was really hoping she had been given acting lessons before this role. I really hope she doesn’t ruin this season for me. Let me also say that I hated the casting of Jennifer Morrison originally as I hated her in both House and How I Met Your Mother, but she killed the role of Emma.
I’m very confused about how this new curse works. Why is Lucy the only one who knows anything? How does Jacinda know who Lucy is as it seemed Lucy wasn’t originally taken in the curse from what they showed in the season 6 finale? And how do you integrate fairy tale characters into an already operating city? Are the apartments they live in magically vacant already? Are the rest of the residents of Seattle also under the curse so that they have memories of these people? This needs to be explained.
So far I’m not impressed with Boy Scout Hook or bad Rumple. But I am convinced that Rumple knows they are cursed.
Alice is definitely related to someone, and possibly knows what’s up as well. I think she’s Zelena’s daughter, Robin.
I have a theory that Alice is Zelena’s daughter; Robin grown up. I think Henry would have some recognition if she were his sister. And, I’d like to think his sister wouldn’t drug him and hold him captive right off the bat.
