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

[tomstone]

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
