Once Upon a Time season 2 review

Anytime that you go into a season finale of a show, the word game-changer tends to come to mind more often than not. Not only did a show like “Once Upon a Time” have the enormous challenge this week of tying together multiple storylines and creating shocking moments, but there was also the question of […]

Sunday night’s “Once Upon a Time” certainly presented to us one heck of an episode. There was so much good stuff going on, and it showed yet again just how great of a shift there has been in the storytelling between this season and what we saw around this time last year. Remember Archie, Dr. […]

If there is one word that we would really used to describe Sunday night’s “Once Upon a Time” episode, it is “strange.” For it being one of the last three episodes of the year, it was weird how limited the focus was. There was nothing of Belle or Rumpelstiltskin in Storybrooke, and almost the entire […]

If you are a “Rumbelle” shipper, watching Sunday night’s “Once Upon a Time” was almost like wading through paradise. The entire episode was geared largely around their story, and how Mr. Gold would try to find a way to turn things around for himself and Belle after Regina pulled a very dirty trick on him and placed […]

How great was Sunday night’s “Once Upon a Time”? It was surely one of the strangest of the season: there was no Mr. Gold, no Belle or Ruby, very little Regina, and Captain Hook was still missing in action. However, what we did ultimately end up seeing here was a supremely fascinating tale of how […]

When we first heard about the episode of “Once Upon a Time” entitled “Welcome to Storybrooke,” we were somewhat concerned. Was there really any need for us to see what happened during the early days of this town? Before this episode, we would have said that the answer here was “no.” However, after watching this […]

If there was one character whose story was vastly missing on “Once Upon a Time” to this point, it was Cora. She was quite possibly the most wicked of all of the characters on the show, and while there was an essence of good somewhere in her, we learned that it never happened to be […]

This is ultimately turning out to be a rather big day for “Once Upon a Time.” After learning some much-needed details about the show’s season 2 finale at PaleyFest a little bit earlier in the day, we had a new episode of the show Sunday night that answered some questions, but quickly opened the door […]

We’ve been waiting for a certain moment on “Once Upon a Time” ever since the early stages of season 2, and thankfully, the writers did not make us wait long on “Manhattan” Sunday night: giving us the reunion of Emma and Neal Cassady. Did you ever really doubt that Baelfire was also Henry’s father? The […]

We don’t know what was a more welcome sight on Sunday night’s new “Once Upon a Time” season 2 episode: seeing Regina start to become the Evil Queen yet again over how the town of Storybrooke has treated her, or seeing Jorge Garcia return as Anton / the Giant. Regardless, this made for a rather […]
