a 'once upon a time' squee post 2 of 2

I pretty much love everything about this show- with only one glaring exception. I CANNOT STAND THAT LITTLE KID. I feel bad for the Evil Queen, having to deal with him. Although it makes me wonder- why would you invoke a curse that you yourself fall victim to, and if she is self-aware, why would she adopt a child

Great post! :D

Great post! :D

Thanks! And I’m squeeing at seeing people using my icon, I’ve never had such a positive response! Oh, this fandom. <3

Hearing Parrilla's voice as herself, I appreciate even more how she pitches Regina & the Evil Queen's voice a bit lower.

IKR? It was so interesting to me to hear her talking as herself! I love that video with her promoting the show and she starts off talking normal and then her voice slides into the deeper register of the Queen as she threatens the viewer if they don’t watch the show! I’d love to hang out with her and be pestering her all the time, ‘DO THE VOICE’, hee!

I have a deeper voice too, and I like hearing a female lead not talk with a squeaky voice.

Same here! It’s nice having her speak in lower tones instead of the sweet, high-pitched tones a lot of chicks on tv have.

yeah, it's making me confused, trying to tell is they KNOW or if they DON'T. And if they don't, what are they talking about when they're both saying, "You remember..." It's great writing that we're left with little nuggets

Okay, I started watching this show tonight because of your squee!posts and I have to say... it's pretty awesome. I love Regina, think Emma's badass, adore Snow White (Mary Margaret less so, because it's like she's Mary Margaret pretending to be Snow White and it just... doesn't work for me. idk how to explain it.) and OMG, Meghan Ory is Red Riding Hood! I have ♥ed Meghan since Higher Ground. *squee*

I totally agree with you about Henry - I find him to be jaw-clenchingly annoying and find the adults' indulgence of what would irl be considered delusions at best to be frustrating beyond belief. As you say, whilst we as viewers know that he's right, they do not. Argh, if only we could stick him in an enchanted cupboard and have him disappear. (too harsh? *snerk

\o/ I AM SO PROUD. Yay for you finding a new awesome show! :D :D :D

LOOOOOOOOVE YOUUUUUUU.

Also, if you’ve seen ep 3, WOW, Snow White is such a BAMF.

Mary Margaret less so, because it's like she's Mary Margaret pretending to be Snow White

I don’t really care about Mary Margaret except in her scenes with Emma because it’s just SO adorable and tragic that she’s interacting with her own daughter and doesn’t knoooow.

OMG, Meghan Ory is Red Riding Hood! I have ♥ed Meghan since Higher Ground. *squee*

I’m so glad I was able to influence you to watch a show that has someone you love! *preens*

I'm guessing there's more to Henry than what we know yet. I mean, Regina's obviously not a kid person so why go through all the trouble of adopting? How did she "just happen" to end up with Emma's son? How did he latch on to the whole "fairy tale is real" thing? There's something else going on.

[borg_princess]

Well, in a panel with Lana Parrilla and Robert Carlyle, they were talking about how Regina needed to give love to someone safe and that's why she adopted Henry. So for now, at least, the actors are saying it was because she wanted someone to love, and it was amusing to me how Robert was fanwanking about how she was just struggling with it and stumbling at roadblocks and then Lana interrupts all 'SHE'S JUST BAD AT IT', which I lol'd so hard at. So...I believe that while she doesn't appear to be a kid person, she does want to love Henry.

How did he latch on to the whole "fairy tale is real" thing?

Because Mary Margaret gave him that bloody book!

I'd love it if this went all Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles where you think he's just an innocent naive little kid and then it turns out he's a plant or there are ulterior motives and he's really scheming and conspiring with someone all along, lol.

Well, yeah, but I mean, he's right. So of all the weird things he could have come up with to deal with his less-than-ideal home life, how does he just happen to figure out that fairy tales are real? Which, combined with the "coincidence" of Regina adopting Emma's son, makes me think they're going somewhere with him. He has special abilities or something.

it turns out he's a plant

I had this total BWUH? moment when I read that, because for about a second I was thinking the leafy kind of plant and that just didn't make any sense. *facepalm*

[borg_princess]

True, like, why doesn't he watch Star Trek and believe aliens are real or something? It is very convenient that he should latch onto the one thing that IS true.

Well, someone else mentioned that the curse meant that Regina would always have a void in her life- she adopts Henry, presumably to find someone to live and receive love from, so maybe the curse responds by making sure he gets hold of the book and believes in it in order to keep that 'void' happening, because obv he's never going to love Regina or accept her as his mother if he thinks she's evil.

That's a lot of fanwanking there, but still...

Haha, the leafy kind of plant! *g*
