Here are the Details I'd like to talk about.
Spoiler:So are they rewriting the Fairytales too? The Queen kept saying that what she loved Died because of Snow White. The only thing she could mean was the Lumberjack that was supposed to Kill SW but let her escape. When he returned with a pigs heart as proof that Snow White is supposed to be Dead, the EQ found out about it through her Mirror and Killed him for this betrayel.
Thing is after seeing the Trailer for the next Episode, 2 Horseman where attacking her which if I dont remember wrong never happened in the Original Story.

Liked the second episode as much as the first one.
about the fairytales, and other things:
Spoiler:As far as I see it, they took some artistic licence for parts of the stories. That starts with the fact, that they put a lot of stories into one which don't belong together. And then, there're also different traditions. I for myself know (only) the German storylines, they may differ from stories which are told in other countries.
It might be difficult to stay too close with the original surrounding of the stories for today TV, but I think they kept the ideas behind the characters. For example Rumpelstiltskin is very different in his look, and in the original story he was never imprisoned, but vanished (klilled himself) at the end of the story. But the tricky character is the same. The obsession with namens, and deals, and his special abilities.
Evil queens on the other hand, never survive the traditional storylines. This one does, for an evil price.
In the Snow-White story I know, the queen asked one of her huntsman to kill the girl, and bring her the heart of her. It was just one, and he couldn't do it and killed instead of the girl, a deer.

I learned the German Stories just like you, but for Example the Heart thing was a invention of Disney, in the Original Story it was supposed to be her lungs and liver that the Queen wanted as proof. Even more she was planning to eat them.
Though I am not sure why they need to change things to make them usable for todays Television, I am very interrested to see what else is different in this Series.
Just seeing the Evil Queen and Maleficent in the same room was pure awesomeness.

I also wonder about the Lady in the Inn and that rebellious Teenager. Maybe Cinderellas Stepmother and one of her Stepsisters?

Le sigh.
Oh well, at least OUAT is getting some viewers, some good press, and good ratings. Let's hope for a reasonable run - I want to see this story play out!sigpic
Goodbye and Good Travels, Destiny!
