OUAT (ABC's Once Upon A Time), who on the Disboards has never ever watched an episode of the tv series before?

[kdonnel]

Never watched it but during its run my kids did.

When coming back from an Alaska cruise that docked in Vancouver we stopped by Steveston, aka Storybrooke, for lunch on our way to Seattle.

I recommend the series for a summer watch fest for sure.

And how does Cinderealla feel about that?

Just an FYI, the Charmings (Snow/Prince Charming) and the Hermans (Cinderella/Prince Thomas) are friends in fairytale land and the real world.

Yeah, but Charming is Cindella's prince. Snow White's prince was unnamed, but is not Charming.

There's a reason for this in the series but it's technically a spoiler, so I'm debating to say it.

Ah, okay. I thought they were just getting mixed up.

Never watched it. It was filmed in and around where I live, too.

It was one of the few programs I watched from the beginning to the end (that and Revenge...). I was just thinking a couple of weeks ago that I should rewatch the full OUAT. Sometimes it was challenging to see where the series was going from week to week, so it would be good to see how it actually flowed.

loved it. have rewatched on Disney+

I highly recommend it.

I would recommend watching the first 10 episodes to see how you feel about the show if you are interested in giving it a chance. It's a little like Harry Potter meets Disney.

 

[georgina]

Not interested in it at all. ( and wasn’t interested when it was on before) My summer show is going to be The Decameron, looks interesting

OUAT is not strictly based on Disney's take on the fairy tales. The names given in the series don't always align with the names from the animated movies. In this case, the Prince Charming moniker comes from the stock meaning of a handsome hero who engages on a quest to save a damsel in distress (not that I'd classify Snow in OUAT as a damsel in distress). He given the name by Snow when they first meet.

In the 80's there was a sitcom on ABC named The Charmings that was also based on Snow White.

I get what you're saying, OUAT is more like historical fiction as opposed to the documentary style accuracy of the original animated films.

WIKI: "Once Upon a Time was created by Lost and Tron: Legacy writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz.
The core themes of the show are hope and optimism."

Being that they had their hands in it there are many twists, turns, & tweaks on characters we all know
and being "Lost" alumni there are also many rabbit holes they take you down.
I would have loved to be in on their discussions for each episode.

I couldn't make it through the first episode.

 

[Buzz Rules]

To be fair, the show finds it's roots around episode 6.
