‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3 finale review: Princess Elsa, Marian, Robin Hood, and more

Matt Carter — Mon, 12 May 2014 01:59:34 +0000

On tonight’s “Once Upon a Time” finale, we were thrust right into the past in order to save the future. This is a story that we have seen play out on a variety of other shows (see “Lost” and the “we have to go back” problem), but never quite like it was here with a […]

‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3, episode 20 review: Rumpelstiltskin and Belle’s moment, death, and drama

Matt Carter — Mon, 05 May 2014 00:45:13 +0000

Sunday night’s “Once Upon a Time” episode “Kansas” by and large continued the tradition of being fantastic, but also continued to do one other thing: Frustrate us with the inability of some characters to change. When we are saying this, we are of course speaking mostly about the Rumpelstiltskin character first and foremost. This is […]

‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3, episode 19 review: Is Snow White’s baby here?

Matt Carter — Mon, 28 Apr 2014 00:44:54 +0000

Sunday night’s “Once Upon a Time” continued a great trajectory this season, and that is telling a story that makes sense, focuses on the main characters, and also builds towards something pretty epic. It also avoided a few of the nasty TV pratfalls that are so easy for this show to fall into. Before we […]

‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3, episode 18 review: Why Rumpelstiltskin, Zelena kissed and more

Matt Carter — Mon, 21 Apr 2014 00:47:14 +0000

“Once Upon a Time” has been on quite the winning streak as of late, delivering episodes that have been so far more than a little superior to the first half of the season. We really enjoyed last week’s “The Jolly Roger,” and “Bleeding Through” continued that trend and then some tonight with some great stories […]

‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3, episode 17 review: Colin Donoghue, Hook – Emma story shine

Matt Carter — Mon, 14 Apr 2014 00:39:48 +0000

There are times when “Once Upon a Time” does try to do too much, just as there are also times when the show doesn’t really accomplish anything at all. This is a show that struggles to find that happy medium, and focus on both the long-term and the short-term at the same time. This is […]

‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3, episode 16 review: Rebecca Mader shines in one Wicked story

Matt Carter — Mon, 07 Apr 2014 00:42:25 +0000

“Once Upon a Time” has been slowly building up momentum since it started its arc this spring, and the further that we dive into the story of Oz and the Wicked Witch, the more and more we start to feel like almost everything that happened when it comes to Neverland just didn’t cut it. This […]

‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3, episode 15 review: Who died in ‘Quiet Minds’?

Matt Carter — Mon, 31 Mar 2014 00:40:38 +0000

Earlier this year, news broke out about a character dying during the spring portion of “Once Upon a Time” season 3. We were sad to hear that, but not nearly as sad as we were when it happened during “Quiet Minds.” (Obviously, there are some pretty MAJOR spoilers below.) There are two very bizarre TV […]

‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3, episode 14 review: Did Rapunzel make ‘The Tower’ great?

Matt Carter — Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:34:47 +0000

After two episodes of “Once Upon a Time” this spring that brought plenty of drama, twists, and excitement, we then turned to one Sunday in “The Tower” that left a little bit to be desired. You had a superfluous cameo, a few developments, but nothing that really made us feel like most of the 45-minute […]

‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3, episode 13 review: The Regina / Wicked Witch connection is…

Matt Carter — Mon, 17 Mar 2014 00:41:30 +0000

Earlier this season on “Once Upon a Time,” there was all sorts of scoop regarding the family tree for all of our favorite characters expanding. This is quite the strange family when you think about it, mostly because everyone seems to be in some way related to the other. Even if they aren’t a blood […]

‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3, episode 12 review: Who is pregnant, and did Emma return?

Matt Carter — Mon, 10 Mar 2014 00:39:49 +0000

Sunday night’s new episode of “Once Upon a Time” was the first in quite a long time, and we wondered going into it just how long the writers were going to linger over the fact that Emma Swan no longer remembered who she was. Instead, the powers-that-be took a very different route in presenting the […]
