Now you know why I left New England, people. These kind of things go on in Maine all the time and often spilled over into New Hampshire where I once lived.
Sheesh. Monsters, goblins and Stephen King. It was more than I guy could stand.

I liked it well enough to keep watching for a bit. I'm curious to see how it goes down once they start remembering.
I liked all the actors and the concept is pretty neat. It was better done than I expected too, so I was pleased. -------------------- |

I started watching it on Hulu today and Andy turned it off when he came home. He often does that to me when I'm watching things he doesn't want to watch.
That said, the part of it I got to watch before he turned it off was good. I'm looking forward to having time to watch it all later. --------------------  |

Watched it last night and really liked it a lot. Intriguing, fun idea and the characters are fascinating in these new interpretations. Doesn't hurt that the "evil" queen is a hot MILF.

Really enjoying this series after the first two episodes. It's fun and different. I'm digging it.

I just watched the most recent episode. I'm really liking this show. I'm still trying to figure out who the sheriff is supposed to be. Maybe the Huntsman? I thought Big Bad Wolf until this week and his interaction with the Queen.

The Huntsman is who I'm thinking as well, makes sense.

I agree, but will somebody spell out for me EXACTLY what it was Snow White did to tick off the Queen? I mean, did she have the hots for Prince Charming or something and Snow White stole him away? They keep referring to Snow White having done "something" she cannot forgive. Did I miss something here?

I'm enjoying it so far as well. I'm with you though Ron, I was rather confused watching last nights episode. I'm assuming maybe that is something they will explain in future episodes because the only thing I remember from the original was her jealousy of snow white.

They mentioned her taking someone away from the queen that was now dead as far as I understood it. I have no idea who that is, but like you guys, I assume that will be revealed in time.

The things I've picked up on the story they seem to be following is that maybe Snow White took away this person that they keep talking about the Queen as having lost. Malificent said that the dark curse wouldn't bring her loved one back from the dead.... so maybe it was that, added to the she's too pretty thing. *shrug*

I find it mildly entertaining, but it's like a "Lost" light (and I believe creators from Lost are also doing this series). I prefer what Grimm has to offer over Once Upon a Time, but they're both good shows and in the long run I win since I get to watch them both.

This show came back Sunday night and kicked things off with a bang. I don't want to give too much away for those who haven't watched it yet, but we got to see some more characters and some more dire consequences. Emma dealing with the reality of the fairytale world was done well also. And with some of the teased characters popping up this season, this should prove to be very interesting and fun.
