I watched the first episode of Once Upon A Time (created and written by one of the main Lost duo of writers.... the two who wrote the important episodes when Darlton didn't.... Kirtsis and Horowitz or something)
It seems pretty good... Hard to base off what obviously was the pilot and story-setter, but I like what I've seen so far. I hope it sticks. Apparently it had good ratings...
Interesting that there are two new shows this year (Grimm) about fairy tales.
I've watched 2 episodes of OUAT and the 1 epiosde of Grimm that's aired so far.... I know I don't technically have to "pick one" considering I can (and will) easily watch both, but I have to admit that I like Once Upon A Time MUCH more than Grimm so far. It just seems more magical and interesting... and isn't overwhelmed with horrible special effects so far.
So far (one whole episode under our collective belts), Grimm seems like, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: As A Guy" [not that there's anything wrong with that (and given Greenwalt's presence, not a total surprise) except that without the trademark Whedon humor, it might get pretty tedious after a very short while], while OUAT seems to be - like you said - more 'magical'. And, given that we've seen that Rumplestiltskin [spoiler for show content as seen thus far, particularly in episode 2]
appears to have retained his memory of being a fairy tale character and has unknown motives in either realm,
it could get quite interesting indeed!
Thus far, I'll likely continue to watch both.
Oh, and...
Homeland... why did she cut her hair??? She looks like Anna again. Not quite as creepy, but I was very aware of it and a little distracted. I'll have to get used to it. I just think she looks so much better with longer hair.
Agreed! 'Inara'

shouldn't have short hair!
