Once Upon A Time General Discussion/News/Speculation (spoilers possible)

[Platypus_Man]

Sorry to double post, but do you know how overly uber jealous I am of you right now? Heh, I gotta say, the man looks good in a suit (and purple). I cannot wait to see what they do with Rumpel's whole back story.

And I hate to be a big fangirl and ask, I'm sure you got to chat with him just a tiny bit, was he nice/cool/awesome? Feel free to not answer me. Just I think I could leave this Earth happy if I even had a smidgen of a chance to meet him.

Robert aside, your pics from the con are awesome, and how cool it is that you've met other cast members and actually witnessed some of the filming. Also, if you don't mind me saying, you have a nice smile.

lol ok thanks for the smile comment haha

I met Robert Carlyle briefly before SGU premiered. I know he's a bit of private person socially. But chatting with him briefly at Once Upon a Time filming on a couple of occasions and again at the recent Once Upon a Cure charity gala, he seems pretty approachable and friendly. I mean my impressions of him from all his serious roles made me cautious around him but he was all smiles and laughs when I talked to him. I have nothing bad to say about him. In fact all the Once Upon a Time cast and exec producers are just great people

Just watched it and all I can say: Damn it! These show is gonna be sooo awesome!!!

Rumpy: Totally freaky, crazy but sooo cute!! And his laughter Just great!! And the way he speaks Please, I want him to scare my ex best friend

Mr Gold: Really, he is kind of scary. And I think he knows that he is Rumplestilskin. It's the way he looked at Emma. And the way he looks at everyone else. They're afraid of him I think. At least Granny and the other girl. (is Little Red Riding Hood correct? Or what's her name?)

Evil Queen/Major: She IS scary as well! She really threatens Emma the first moment she knew she would be a danger for her to keep Henry. I'm curious what she's gonna do next.

Henry: The boy's sooo sweet! Just ten years old but already so smart

Snow White: I don't know how to think of her yet, but it's very brave of her to just leave her child in the wardrobe, not knowing what will happen to her.

Mary: I have the feeling that she's not happy with her life in Storybrook.

To the episode: I liked it. Oh yeah, I did And I can't wait for more
What I also liked was the switching of the scenes all the time
My favorite scene: Rumpy in his cell!!! Sooo cool! I want to see more of him. He seems to know everything!!!!

Ratings are in. The series premiere drew 3.9 HH 18-49 and 12.793 million viewers.

According to tvbythenumbers, that's ABC's best series premiere "this fall or last fall", so good.

so let's hope the numbers keep high for the next ones

wondering how important the role of RC is in this serie, can't really judge from the first episode

hope to see Mr. Gold often

I think Rumpy is really important. He knows so much others don't know. And I would like to know how he ended up being locked up in a cell.
And Mr. Gold *faints faints --> lying on the floor*

This is going to be a very interresting, though I have to say that I did not like the Pilot. The Story is promissing and everything, but somehow they spent all their time in cramming as much information and Characters as possible into the Episode, so in the end I was intrigued, but didnt enjoy the Episode.

Rush as Rumpelstielzchen, now thats going to be fun.

Lets note how some of the shows TVBTN compared Once Upon A Time to were cancelled in one or two seasons due to rapidly declining ratings.

[mi_guard]

I am looking forward to one season. If there will be more, I'll be happy, if not, well I will at least have had one season.

Don't expect too much, so you do not risk to be disappointed.

I'm so happy the rating were fantastic for the premiere. Hopefully it will continue. I was just watching the show at first for Robert Carlyle, however, I actually like it.

[Ian-S]

was it just my eyes playing tricks on me or were neither of them wearing a seat belt on the drive home?

[jeri]

I'm thinking that Rumpy has made a deal with the Evil Queen, as alluded to in the trailer for next week, to have wealth or power somehow in Storybrooke if he helps EQ. But knowing how Robert Carlyle likes to play characters with substance, I bet Mr. Gold is not totally on board with EQ. He will certainly have his own agenda, but I doubt he will be truly evil, probably just greedy. We shall see.

I was not one to like "Lost" beyond the first season but with this show I have Robert Carlyle to watch.

for those interested in apearances of SG alumns in OUAT, have read that Mark Gibbon will guest star (M'zel in SG1)

Given that it is being filmed in Vancouver (on the same stages as SGU was, in fact), I'm expecting to see lots of SG alumns this first season - so that's just an added bonus, as I've grown to feel that they are all "friends".

[Platypus_Man]

There are definitely some cool guest stars coming up.

True Blood's Kristin Bauer, looking spooky

Alias' David Anders was recently in town shooting a guest spot

this can help keeping up with the fairy tale characters and their counterpart in our world

While watching the preview for the rest of the season I though I saw Christopher Heyerdahl. Looked like he could have been the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk.

I think Rumple is this series' Garak or Batlar. He has his own agenda and I can easily see him switching allegiance between both sides.

Rumplestiltskin as this series' Garak, it would be a joy to watch!

If anyone is interested in locations, the area where the 'castle' is superimposed and the causeway across the water the horseman was riding in the early part of the episode was filmed at Pitt Lake. That causeway goes on for ever towards the mountains! My favourite chill out place.

My wife and I both liked the premiere. It does have promise. But, I still don't see it making it on ABC. I hope I am proven wrong.
