And that they were implying the Wicked Witch and the Evil Queen were lovers. Too bad it was just another

Before it began, people were comparing The Killing to Twin Peaks- if they had gone that route, with Jennifer Morrison in a Dale Cooper type role investigating the murder but also just interacting with the slightly off-kilter townspeople (who it becomes gradually apparent are actually fairytale characters under a

What's going on is all her hot friends found out she caught an STD and she's calling up people she used to know to figure out how much lower she has to adjust her standards.
