Once Upon A Time (Netflix)

[Blobby10]

How have I not come across this before? It started 8 years ago!! (yes I do know its finished now )

Am now at the start of series 3 and loving the storylines and arcs and characterisations. LOVE Robert Carlyle's character and the Evil Queen and how interlinked they all are and how they turned from good to bad and possibly back to good again but Storybrook Snow White is so-o-o-o nice and good she makes me angry - much prefer the Enchanted Forest version of her and GG looks better with long hair! Anyone else currently watching this? Or has watched it?

I watched it all last year. Loved it! Although the last series isn't as good. DS1 (16) is watching it for the 3rd time

I watched up to season 5 (the current season) a few years ago but never bothered picking it back up when season 6 was released as I felt it was going downhill in 5. Absolutely loved it up to that point though and it's completely different to what I would normally watch

I watched it all and loved it! Though do get what you mean about Snow.

Loved it though some moments did annoy me...loved the musical episode! And how everything fits together.

Season 7 however..not needed. Stuck with it to see if it got better..it didnt.

I loved this for a bit of fun but the last couple of series were for die hard fans only. I had a constantly breastfeeding baby at the time so that’s my excuse! Will never think of Captain Hook in quite the same way that’s for sure

The musical episode was the best! We have all the songs from it on our Spotify playlist so hear them a lot
Captain Hook.... phwoar. Yes please.

Also find it quite sweet that actors playing Snow White and Charming are now married in real life.

I loved the early series (it was shown on channel 5 to begin with). I've watched up to series 5 I think.

I was watching with big gaps between episodes though, and lost track of who was who, who was good/evil and what was going on in general! I might try again from the start of that series.

It's also quite fun to play "spot the actor from Lost".

Season 7

But its a great show

@PolkadotsAndMoonbeams there are a lot of lost 'easter eggs' not just actors. Me and DS had fun looking for them.

I am stuck on series 5
I binged my way through the first couple and then enjoyed it when Hook got his chest out and strengthened his eyeliner game. It's a bit like an effort at the moment. Possibly not helped by the fact I hate Henry

It’s a brilliant show that should have stopped when season 5 finished

I attempted to watch season 6 and I think I just gave up after 3 episodes

Or season 7... whichever the very last season was

That's why struggled with series 7...Not really a Henry fan and him as a adult..nope. Some of the storylines were decent and the villians were intresting but on the whole..just seemed made just because they could.

Its interesting that so many are saying S7 was rubbish as that's been the general gist whenever I've read about Once Upon A time. I'm enjoying spotting all the Supernatural and Buffy actors and have also got my eldest son hooked (he's 24 and a Supernatural buff!)

Am halfway through S3 and still fascinated by Rumplestiltskin's story and his connection to Pan as well as the possible romantic links to Regina. She's another character development that has me hooked - is she good or not? Shes proven with Henry that she can love but is that because maternal love is different to 'soulmate' love?

Hook is definitely wearing less Guyliner as he becomes more attracted to Emma and less 'bad' . Can't wait to see how Pan/Henry turns out - which of his mothers will recognise who he is first?

Pan isn’t Henry

But yes it’s a really good story

Captain Killian (Hook) Jones.😍
Aka Captain Guyliner.

I don't care how crappy the show got near the end, Killian Hook sends my heart a-flutter.

I started watching a year or so after it started and quickly fell in love. I then rewatched it all with DD1 and then DD1 rewatched it all with her little sister.

DS is now interested so DD2 is rewatching it with him.

A whole family loving it (except DH who has no taste in good tv but it's okay, he looks just like Hook!)

ChesterDraws am quite envious that your H looks like Hook 😂😂 my OH has declared it all Rubbish after watching one episode but I knew he would think that 😁 just means I don’t have to wait for him to come round before another watchathon 😂😂😂

Loved how much Regina changed over the series as well.

@Soubriquet I think she means when their back in storybrook and pan switched places.

I think Regina is one of my favourite characters because there are so many sides to her. And how much fun would it have been to act her! So many awesome costumes!

We can't watch anything with magic in now without saying "magic always comes at a price dearie"

The actor who plays Hook lives near my sister - apparently he isn't nearly as hot without the guyliner and leather coat 😆

OK this is a very convincing thread so I'm in, I sat down to watch the First one.

Make sure you give it more than one episode before you make a judgement

It is slow building but once it gets there, it doesn’t come down.

@lilmishap what did you think?
