I remember being a little kid and still understanding that those week-long serialized ones were incredibly special and wonderful (the Lost Lamp, and then later the one with time travel and diamonds). I'd never seen serialized television before, and wouldn't see it again for a long time.

The Tick was so weird and special and great, and Warbuurton really was the best choice. Some bits really didn't work at all, but the bits that did were genius. And Nestor Carbonnell was phenomenal. "I'm on a roof, of course." I really miss him doing comedy, and just miss him in general.

These are all fine, but I was shocked not to see Generalissimo. One of the funniest half-hours I've ever seen.
"Her adorably broken English."
"Jack, a Metrocard is a real thing!"

Maybe he didn't cast it himself because he didn't have a thing he loved most in the world? Bae was gone, and he thought Belle was dead. or, even if he did have something else, maybe he was too much of a coward to kill it, in a way that Regina isn't?

I hope they don't use manufactured drama from the Snow/Whale hookup to keep Whale/Red apart. I'm really rooting for these two! They are the only regular pairing the show has attempted. Not-preordained. Just two characters being nice to one another and the actors having good chemistry. Make it happen, writers!

The recap says Rumple's inability to bring Belle's memories back is a retcon/arbitrary given that he's the one who made the curse in the first place, but I don't think it is. It has already been established that he didn't know the memory thing would continue after the curse was broken. He was really surprised when…

They've stated before that Rumpy can't do portal jumping, which makes sense since we've been shown Jefferson doing dirty work for him (and Rump's not the type to have minions to do things that he could probably do better). But then he ends up in Victor's world like it's no big deal. If Rump could go to Victor himself,…

I felt so bad for poor David Anders. He was doing a fine job, but was surrounded by these deadweights in the flashbacks. The father was beyond dreadful.

So when are we going to officially out Charming as King Arthur? With the fur and the round table and the continued lack of an official Fairytale Land name… it's getting ridiculous now. The only counter-argument to him being Arthur is that Mulan's sword is apparently the most powerful in the realm, and I would think…

Just realized something. Apparently the wardrobe people think that by styling Andrea exactly like Juliet in Season 4 of Lost, we will like her. (Random picture here: here.) It's… not working.

Seeing this article was such a nice surprise. I've been listening to this album kind of all day every day for a month. And I do it every year. It's one of the few albums I will never get sick of. It's just perfect. I don't even connect it to the movie at all; they are separate things in my head.

I also found that so distracting. Like, "Why is she showing so much leg?" All the women in fairytale land wear ankle-length dresses or pants, so it was extra bizarre. Except for Regina's constant platter of breasts, this show isn't really about overtly sexualizing its female characters.

THIS. Emma's supposed to be our POV character. A person from our world meeting fairytale characters. The problem is that most people's POV would be that this is cool. So she kind of fails in her role. She's not even really angsty (which I would excuse somewhat); she's just… uninterested.

Charming is so smug and I want to punch him in ever scene. I'm still not over him punching Whale for sleeping with Snow, without stopping to think that Frederick is therefore within his rights to punch Charming. And Henry is insufferable. The past few eps of the two of them in Storybrooke without the ladies have been…

Argh. I'm trying to decide if my long-standing hatred of George from Alias outweighs my love of Stephen Dillane. I didn't even care about Syd/Vaughn, so that wasn't why I hated her; she was just such an absolute killjoy in any scene she was in, even ones that had nothing to do with the love triangle. So it annoys me…
