I don't recall from the pilot, but in their stories it's Snow White who was put in a glass coffin, not Sleeping Beauty (she wasn't ever put in a coffin, just a bed iirc).

"snow white's coffin? Was that snow white in the pilot in the coffin that prince charming woke up? I thought that was sleeping beauty? If it was snow white, that must have been after he met her in the woods, right?"

Yes to all of these.

shit just got real

MacCutcheon whiskey. I didn't watch Lost, but I figured "I bet that's a lost easter egg"

Next week looks promising!

12/5/2011 8:46:59 AM

^Wow I did not know that also made an appearance in Lost!

"It was a piece of glass. Probably a part of Snow White's coffin that had surfaced. I also thought it was the mirror at first, but we know the mirror is the annoying newshound guy."

I dunno if it was part of the coffin, but it definitely lands on snow white's coffin

12/5/2011 9:02:52 AM

Well, Henry also got a piece, so we should find out for certain.

But this is what Snow White's coffin looked like, and I really think that's what the piece of glass was:

12/5/2011 9:08:50 AM

I'm not saying it wasn't...but it landing on the coffin is far more important as Henry thought the mine shaft went to fairy tale land, and it obviously does.

12/5/2011 9:11:24 AM

Oh definitely agree with that.

12/5/2011 9:41:57 AM

wow, totally didnt get the maccutcheon reference

12/5/2011 7:39:55 PM

I lol-ed when dude died

12/5/2011 7:44:45 PM

he was all "next time you should make sure I'm dead derp derp"

and if king midas is in fairy tale land, does that mean odysseus and hercules are too?

[Edited on December 5, 2011 at 7:49 PM. Reason : .]

lol--yeah i was all "obvious set up is obvious"

and i would think any type of mythical creature could be in fairy land...i mean...why not?

12/5/2011 8:07:49 PM

I wonder if snow would be attractive at all without that terrible hair

12/5/2011 8:40:55 PM

I kinda feel sorry for the evil queen. This blonde ho comes to town and now her kid's obsessing over the blonde and her man's falling for her, and her constituents are becoming mouthy.

12/11/2011 8:34:21 PM

she's also the hottest one on the show, by far.

12/11/2011 11:26:25 PM

12/11/2011 11:43:34 PM

that was a great episode. and the evil queen is definitely the hottest on the show. snow white could take that if she'd just fix her damn hair

12/12/2011 12:07:29 AM

Great episode. The only thing lacking was more Rumpel/Mr. Gold. He is a great actor.

12/12/2011 5:47:46 AM

Yeah, Gold/Stiltz has consistently been my favorite character.

I mean, he gardens in the forest in a full suit with an apron on. What's not to love?

Truth, and her in her evil queen dresses make me a little drooly

12/12/2011 8:06:15 AM

red riding hood is way hotter than the evil queen. the queen looks all washed up.

12/12/2011 5:09:28 PM

that burgundy dress on the queen was pretty money

and a shovel, lol

red riding hood looks too slutty in storybrooke, she may be hotter when we actually see her as red riding hood

12/12/2011 5:27:49 PM

i'm pretty sure gold/stiltz was not gardening.

burying a body, yea maybe.

12/13/2011 10:30:15 AM

I'd be really disappointed if Mr. Gold had been doing something as boring as burying a body.

Digging one up maybe, or checking on something more valuable, but he seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't need to bother with burying a body.

1/1/2012 8:14:17 PM

Just watched that episode a couple hours ago. Really liked the "gardening" suit.

1/1/2012 10:04:12 PM

/hotlinked

Also there are a couple of Mr. Gold tumblrs. I have no idea if any of them are actually done by Carlyle or one of the show's writers. The second one seems more interesting

Wow, fascinating Rumplestiltskin backstory.

Also, Prince Charming is deliciously hot.

I missed the first six minutes, how did graham die? did anything else happen at the very beginning?

1/8/2012 10:40:06 PM

He died in the last episode. Back in the Fairy Tale world, he is the Huntsman. When he gave the witch a deer's heart instead of Snow White's, she found out and took his as punishment, keeping him somewhat in her pocket. When he betrayed her in the real world, the queen went down to a secret crypt where she kept her vault, pulled out his heart, and killed him by crushing it. (And that's a VERY brief summary).

And yes, I really loved how they handled Rumpelstiltskin in this episode. It will be interesting to hear how that dagger falls into play.

1/8/2012 11:20:58 PM

thats right, forgot all about that

1/9/2012 12:01:50 AM

I missed the first 6 minutes too, since the game was still on. However, there is a clip from the first few minutes on their facebook page that I will watch at some point today to see if I missed anything.

1/9/2012 7:51:35 AM

my cable box just went out right when the witch was gonna cook the kids... what happened after that? It took my box 10 minutes to reboot

i hate time warner

[Edited on January 15, 2012 at 8:40 PM. Reason : yeah]

1/15/2012 8:40:21 PM

Did you miss everything else? Or just a few minutes from that point on?

1/15/2012 9:05:48 PM

Luckily, by the time the box rebooted, the commercial break had just ended...

i'm guessing they cooked the witch somehow and got the bag for the queen...

i saw what was inside and everything so luckily it happened right before the commercial break.

1/15/2012 9:08:00 PM

The kids acted as if there were only one of them (the boy) and tricked the blind witch into unlocking the cage. She found out after she tied up the girl, and went to grab the boy and got upset. They knocked her into the oven, and locked it with the key they stole off of the witch. Then grabbed the satchel and ran from the house. Queen witch then sent a fireball through her mirror into the mirror on the wall of the gingerbread house, and burned the blind witch inside the oven. That should be right about where you left off.

noticed the same apollo bars from Lost as well

I enjoyed the episode...but it definitely seemed like a filler episode until the last 5-10 minutes....

1/16/2012 9:07:08 AM

definitely felt like filler for me, but it wasn't a bad episode

looking forward to next week.

1/16/2012 11:09:18 AM

motorcycle guy is the big bad wolf...thats my guess at least

1/16/2012 2:09:14 PM

I don't think he has fairy tale counterpart. Otherwise, he would have been in Storybrooke all along, right? He's listed as "Stranger/Stranger" for all of the episodes he is in, just as Emma is listed as "Emma/Emma."

1/16/2012 2:15:54 PM

Correct. He would have already been in storybrook.

This is my guess as well, considering he's gonna be staying at granny's inn.

1/16/2012 3:20:48 PM

I get the whole "he would have been in storyville all along" bit, but it's not like writers havent taken liberties before or changed the rules in the middle of the game before. I mean we're talking about the writers from lost, kings of the "we've been saying this all along, but now its actually this!" tactic.

1/16/2012 3:39:50 PM

The box on his motorcycle though, isn't that the same box the Queen put the poisonous apple in? I thought I'd seen it before?

1/16/2012 3:47:08 PM

It looked larger than that box.

I thought it was the guy that Emma slept with/conceived the little boy with...but she didn't seem to recognize him, so I don't know.

1/16/2012 3:50:57 PM

That was my first thought as well, but Emma seemed to genuinely not know him.

1/16/2012 4:52:22 PM

Yeah, I was expecting a "the evil witch brings in the kids' dad to scare off Emma" thing, but either Emma has absolutely no recollection of what the dad looks like or she genuinely didn't know the guy.

Also, I have a hard time with the "nobody can leave Storybrook" thing. If that's the case why would MayorQueen even attempt to send the kids to Boston? She would know the rules of her city better than anyone, and since she has the ability to manipulate how the city is formed (she gave Mr. Gold his role/power as a part of their bargain) surely she can make things so that some people can leave. It might take some effort, but it should be doable on some level.

Otherwise the MayorQueen's whole plan for the episode is just a ruse to get Emma to reunite the kids and their dad and that doesn't really seem like something she'd do.

[Edited on January 17, 2012 at 2:02 PM. Reason : /]

I'm not convinced the Queen fully understands or recalls everything with the curse.
