Once upon a time in...Maine?!

[lysachan]

Okay, what do you get when you mix old-fashioned fairy tales, modern world drama, and sizzling femslashy chemistry? That'd be Once upon a Time, a new ABC show that premiered a few weeks ago. I first read thejollyape's spot-on essay regarding the femslash, and after watching the episodes aired thus far, I have to conclude that this is one of the most

It looks good, I may just have to "see" a few episodes ;-)

[lysachan]

Highly recommended. \o/

[hysteria74]

GOOD GOD!! This show is *EPIC* Just caught the first episode on Channel 5 here and Im ithcing to know what happens next.... may have to divert to other means just so I can catch up ;-)

Thanks for the shout out over the show :-D

[lysachan]

It is SO FRIGGING GOOD. And it'll only get better as the season develops.

[intodelirium]

lol I totally saw this coming from you. and I've seen it a lot on tumblr so I expected it to catch on pretty soon. I don't particularly ship them yet but I might later on. I'm still pissed I can't ship emma with snow cos it's her mom and that's just... not cool. =p

btw, have you seen this new spanish soap people seem to be raving about? tierra de lobos has some nekkid ladies that sometimes make out... with each other.

[lysachan]

lol I totally saw this coming from you.

Is that a good or a bad thing? :D But yeah, I probably wouldn't ship those two as much as I do without the essay I linked to in the entry. That totally screwed with my head. And because shipping Emma with Snow White is SO WRONG OMG.

YES. Tierra de Lobos, I just downloaded this week's episode. <3 The hotness! OMG. I just love how we can show so much more skin in Europe - this show is almost racy at times.

[intodelirium]

lol it's a good thing for fangirls? but maybe bad for me as it shows how long I've been online to be able predict behavior like this. lol. I know I can still ship Emma and Snow platonically or as a family buuuuuut it's not as fun without a bit of femslash. :( so yeah, NOT GOING THERE. xD

why am I even asking this? 95% of the time you're watching. I saw some gifs the other day and was intrigued. what I didn't realize was I should have been expecting borderline porn. xD oh please, regular TV in Europe is like cable tv here in America. I'm not usually prudish but sometimes I still am shocked!:p

[lysachan]

Haha! Yeah, I was just starting to go into withdrawal and needed more Spanish lesbians. My prayers were answered! And funny, I was just talking about this with someone, that yeah, your cable TV is regular TV over here, heh. We're much more strict when it comes to showing violence.

Personally, I really do respect Disney and their touch with fairy tales. Even with making it quite unrealistic.

But, I've been meaning to check this show out. Simply because I adore stories. And I hear Kristin Bauer was in the show.

[femme_slash_fan]

She is. (I asked via twitter) so... I'll be watching.

[lysachan]

Oh, don't get me wrong, those Disney movies were my childhood. <3 But when one scrutinises them a little more closely, there are quite a few things that rub me the wrong way.

But yeah, I highly recommend checking out this show! ♥

I love the premise of the show! And you're right, the parallel storytelling makes the whole thing even more interesting.

Sadly, I don't see the chemistry between Emma and Regina at all as of yet, but maybe I'll get there.

Also, I want a pet unicorn.

[lysachan]

The premise is so out there, I love it. *g*

You know, I probably wouldn't ship those two as much without reading the essay I linked to in the actual entry. That completely corrupted me!

[kmunday]

OUaT recaps now too?? YOU ARE MY HERO!!! *hugs* you spoil me.

Yeah, I'll be honest, I wasn't too hopeful about this show, but as soon as I saw who the stars were... well... how can I not?

I've had a thing for JMo since season one of House and for Lana Parrilla since that crappy show Miami Medical. Both together? Sharing scenes? Snarking at each other? Yes please!

Can't say I ship them though... the snark is waaaaaay too good.

I really hope the show continues doing well because there is SO much potential (and hotness) there.

[lysachan]

Don't know about recaps just yet, but I'm definitely watching the show intently!

Jennifer Morrison's acting skills were wasted on House, but this time she has a little more spunk. Loving it!

Heh, I only ship those two because of the essay I linked to. Makes it impossible not to!
