Watching this now. Don't think it's come on yet in the US of A, so it'll be spoilerless, but I'm liking so far 10 minutes in.

Two writers from Lost are involved, and Jennifer Morrison from House is starring.

It's probably going to suck, but I'm planning to record the first episode and give it a try.

Jennifer Morrison... kinda hot.

Robert Carlyle too.

lol... sad. I thought Snow White was Jennifer Morrison with dyed hair. It's actually Ginnifer Goodwin. You all look the same?

I refuse to sign up for another letdown like LOST was.

That one brunette, Lana Parrilla, that was in LOST, Swingtown and now this show, I think she is sexy as shit.

They're all dead.

Also, the evil witch is married to Ben from Lost.

This show needs a limited run planned like Lost. Seems like they can't really have a story after the big problem is "solved", at least not a good show.

Loved it and looking forward to next week.

They didn't go the Terra Nova route and start the filler episodes in episode 2. Last week's viewership was 12 or 13 million, hope it sticks above 5 to get renewed. Liking it so far.

Thought it was kinda interesting. Also just started watching Grimm, which is a similar but darker.

I've been watching Once Upon a Time and Grimm. So far I like Once Upon a Time a bit better, but it's really too early to tell. I'm a little worried that Grimm will devolve into CSI: Monster Victims Unit. OUaT seems a bit less episodic so far, and I like continuing storylines.

Also, though her part is small, I totally approve of Meghan Ory (Red Riding Hood). :)

I completely forgot that the entire town is composed of "former" fairytale characters. And I thought she was just the town slut... Hot.

Show is good so far and is pretty much doing the Lost formula - different character focused on per week with at least some progression of the main storyline.

You've been missing a lot of jokes if you forgot this - like the hospital guards who were reviewing the security camera in the last episode were Grumpy and Sleepy.

I remembered the janitor from the pilot, but not the security guy. Woops. Who's the Sheriff?

That I don't know. I suspect they are saving that for some kind of reveal.

I wonder if we will see Maleficent again.

All I know are the Disney versions... Someone was telling me about an Alice in Wonderland play, and I just had no idea what the hell she was talking about. There's a rabbit, some chess game, and some girl...?
