Caught this on Netflix basically by accident, I thought it was something else and watched a little just on a lark, not expecting much of anything......so far I'd say this is extremely well done, I was very surprised. The guy who plays Rumplestiltskin is esp good, an outstanding job of playing his character(s).

My gf got me into watching this show. The first episode I watched was the recent season finale with Elsa - which got me hooked (I am obsessed with Frozen). Then I went back and watched the entire show from the beginning. I finished tonight - just in time for the premiere next week!

I haven't seen anything Frozen yet except for last season's finale. I've just been so busy with other things! OUAT is definitely my new favorite show! My least favorite was the Pan saga. They just spent too much in the Neverland forest not really doing anything. My favorite part is Belle and Rumple's relationship. I didn't like SG:U so I didn't like him in that but I love him in Once. It's a very fitting role! I love seeing Jennifer Morrison again! I've missed Emilie de Ravin in Roswell since it ended so it's amazing to see her in non-villain role (yes, I know she was in Lost... I don't watch Lost). Rose McGowen played a perfect young Cora! It really made the Charmed fandom squee in delight!

My complaint against OUAT is the problem that "Heroes" suffered: When you have come to the natural end of the story of a set of characters, end the story and cross over to another set of characters for a new story. I'm not a fan of willy-nilly blending fairytale universes because it allows them to come up with too many deus ex machina resolutions.

They did this with OUAT in Wonderland, and brought that particular story to a close after three seasons. They could have done a crossover in that last season to another story in another fairytale universe--such as crossing over to the a "Han Christian Anderson/northern European fairytale" universe--and started a "Frozen" story there.

Frankly, I want Regina to get the happy ending she had come to deserve and for the Regina/Charming/Snow story to close.

I'm with you on Regina getting her happy ending but I want her to get it without her doing evil acts.

She had gotten there with Robin Hood at the end of the last arc, before the Frozen arc began. Then the writers destroyed that happy ending by bringing back Robin's wife and causing Regina to have an "evil relapse."

That was unnecessary. They should have let her and Gold have the happy endings they had evolved to deserve, and segued smoothly into a new story with a new set of characters.

Yeah the writers dropped the ball on that one.

My friend made me watch one or two episodes and I liked the concept. It's definitely on my 'I'll watch the whole thing once the series ends' list.

Fun Fact: Christian singer Kerrie Roberts does the song that was used on the previews before the show aired. It's a song I went and got and listen to constantly on my iPod.

I'm not allowed to post links yet, but it's called 'Rescue Me' and it's by Kerrie Roberts. Look it up on youtube, if you haven't heard it, you won't be disappointed - it seems to go right with the show.
