Once Upon a Time 10.30.11 *SPOILERS*
I seriously love this show.
I cannot believe (well, I can) that The Evil Queen killed her father so that she could find happiness. Witch!
Maleficent was gorgeous. I hope we see more of her (and maybe sleeping beauty, too.)
I am glad Emma stayed. Henry really needs here.
Speaking of Henry, Rumple procured him for the Mayor. He definitely knows what he did and why. I think he knew he would remember who he was.
I am sure there is more I am missing, but I loved it. 
Might watch it again tomorrow OnDemand.
Re: Once Upon a Time 10.30.11 *SPOILERS*
I think it will be really interesting to see what side Rumplestiltskin is really on.
And those definitely were NOT Honeycrisp apples
OMG! I was going to say something about that, too! Those were not in any way, shape or form Honeycrisp apples.
Looked like Red Delicious to me. Get your apple trees straight, OUAT peeps!

Loved seeing Pam from True Blood as Maleficent!
That is EXACTLY what DH said when we were watching! There was this part of me at the time thinking that those weren't the apples from her tree, but then they showed the tree, so that theory was bunk lol.
It sounds like her true love dies and Snow White is to blame for it. I think we might learn more next week.

I said the same thing to DH about those apples! lol
This show is great! I am really looking forward to watching this story unfold and seeing who all the characters are.

Loved it!
I thought the same thing about the apples.
Im also interested to see what side rumplestilskin is on. It seems like he's on the good side, but I think he's only looking out for himself so he might be a flipflopper.
A few times, I felt like even the evil queen/Regina doesn't remember who she really is. But then the last scene left me questioning that.
Gennifer Goodwin looked better with the pixie hair this week.
I think she knows bits and pieces but doesn't know how it all fits together.
Especially since Henry said to Emma that it would be VERY bad if she ever saw the torn out pages of the book revealing Emma's identity.
I think its because it would trigger her memory to a complete realization of both worlds.
I think Rump is just out for himself. He's neutral and just is enjoying the show in a sense and he has no loyalties as long as he profits from them.
Oh and the Editor of the town paper "The Mirror" is the mirror in fairy tale world! Very Clever.
Who do you think the Sheriff is? The woodsman maybe?
There was one last week. Emma Swan is Henry's mother (she's also the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming but doesn't know that yet). She had him when she was a teenager and gave him up for adoption, but he found her in the first episode. The mayor is the one who raised him.
Yeah, I love this show. Who is the Sheriff supposed to be again, he's pretty cute.
I thought Emma got a few hints from Snow this past episode. When Emma asked Snow who Henry thought she was, you could tell there was some sort of reaction there, and then when she went to thank her for bailing her out, Snow also put cinnamon in hot chocolate like Emma and Henry did. I don't know if she fully believes it yet, but those hints seemed to really get to her.
I also couldn't believe that the Queen killed her father. I knew it had to have happened, but still...crazy lady.

I, too, am wondering who the sheriff is.
I really like this show!
Who is Henry's father? Any guesses?
I love love love this show! I think they're doing a great job so far.
I think Henry's father is the sherrif. At least of the characters we've seen so far, that's my guess.
I think Regina knows some things but not everything, like some PPs said.
I 100% believe Rump knew what he was doing and is out to enjoy the show for the final battle, knowing the curse will probably be broken or whatever he said.
I don't think Snow knows anything yet but I think Emma knows that's her mother, or could be. Can't wait until next week!
I think Regina remembers her part, but she never knew the sex or name of Snow and Charming's baby, just that their baby is the key to breaking the curse. I assumed that's why the last few pages in the book were dangerous- it'd tell her that Emma is their child.
I don't think the Sheriff is Henry's dad since Henry was born in Arizona and the characters aren't able to leave the town without bad things happening.
I agree with pp about Rump being neutral. He's for whatever side can help him out at the time.
I had hoped we'd see some of the villains in modern day this episode. I'm curious about the blind witch.
Excite for next week, hopefully we finally learn a little about Regina's love and how Snow ruined it all.
I think the guy in the coma is prince charming.
As far as Henry's dad it probably wouldn't matter to the story seeing how she didn't grow up in the crazy town.
I am loving this show. I loved Lost though, and am so glad to have something back with the mystery and drama that had. And since it's fairytale characters, the writers can write some of the weird things in they did with Lost but it will feel more believable in this context.
Last night's episode was good, but I guess I'm with everyone else trying to figure out who remembers what. The Queen seems to know at times, and other times not. I can't figure it out, but love the drama of it. I agree, Rumple definitely knows. That was obvious from their conversation. It was his curse to begin with, so it would make sense he would design it to keep his own memory.
I agree, he's a flipflopper and will go with whichever side benefits him more. I'm excited to see where things go from here.
The Snow White story (as originally written) is that The Evil Queen marries a King who already had a daughter (Snow White) from his first wife. (This is how she becomes a queen). Never really clear what happened to the father (did he die? was he killed?) but he doesn't appear much after the opening of the story.
As for why she wanted SW dead, she was jealous of her beauty ("Mirror mirror on the wall" finally turned on her and proclaimed that Snow White was the fairest). Because of this jelaousy, she ordered her killed.
I expect that OUAT will bring in a bit of sympathy for the Queen, that she truly loved SW's father, was wronged, maybe that SW wasn't so innocent after all, etc. to bring more of a full character development to the queen/Regina.
That bugged me too!!
I love this show too. I hope they keep it around.
I'm not surprised the Evil Queen killed her father. I know that's her character but I was hoping she had a heart. I also cried when she killed him.
Sleeping Beauty is my favorite fairy tale, I'm looking forward to meeting her! Hopefully soon.
I wonder if the Evil Queen and Rumple didn't have an additional deal that we don't yet know about, and for his services he can keep part of his memory. He doesn't seem to be playing full Team Evil Queen. I'm also wondering if the Queen didn't have Henry brought to her, hoping he'd be her father.
In the last episode when the evil queen is talking to her friend in front of the fire. They mention that she was Snow White's age when she was going to get married but didn't because of Snow White.
I really like the way they chose to make the fairytale character modern. Like the inn owner I think is Red Ridding Hood and her grandmother. It's funny that Red Ridding Hood comes off rebellious and punky. Gimminy Cricket is a therapist. The mirror works for or owns the news paper.
who was the person the evil queen went to go get her spell back? i missed hearing her name....
also...i hope i am way off...but could rumple have changed his look and hooked up with emma to have henry...seems like he is aware of things since it was his spell in the first place?
Ha! Sorry I spelled Jimminy wrong
)
I think that ABC is owned by Disney. So they have access to not just reg fairytales but Disney story fairytales. Jimminy was in Disney's Pinocchio, but I don't know if he was in other fairytales.
OMG to another PIP! Rumpelstilstkin ( spelling?) changing himself to sleep with Emma and being Henry's dad. I didn't even think of that!
Maleficent, the evil fairy in Sleeping Beauty
According to Wikipedia he was an unnamed character in the story of Pinocchio that Disney named and made a more major character. -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiminy_Cricket
To the PP, John Doe is Prince Charming, it's the same actor.
More wiki entries on the characters for those confused as to who is who -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_%28TV_series%29#Cast_and_characters -- but we still don't know who the sheriff is.
Thanks...i think i need to re-read my fairy tales!
