So I don't normally do this, but I ended up watching this new ABC show Once Upon A Time. Best decision today. Not only did I get to see a sort of fantasy show inter-cut with reality scenes, but there were twists with the original fairy tales that were being introduced. Now the show was only one hour, not the normal 2 hr promo my sister and I thought, but it was overall really well done. Left me sitting there wondering why there was no more, but I can wait.
The idea starts with Snow White and Prince Charming's child being the one who could save the "happily ever after" that one expects of a fairy tale, and enters the realm of where such things don't normally exists like magic. We see characters that we are familiar with as well as their mundane selves (because they have no memory of it) and it's sad to watch. But the transitions from one story line to the back story line are great and I'm definitely excited to find out what happens next week.
