Episodes, s.1


So...in my drunken, Supernatural angsting, I deleted almost every episode of Once Upon A Time from my DVR; even Desperate Souls which was my favorite episode, aside from the pilot, until Skin Deep - that one I kept cuz Rumple is and always will be my favorite, but adding a love interest!? Perfect 

Anyway, as a lead-in to the season finale, I plan to re-watch every episode between now and Sunday online...and over and over again until the DVD comes out on August 28.

It's gonna be a long summer...


1.01 - Pilot
And they lived happily ever after...or so everyone was led to believe. Emma Swan knows how to take care of herself. She's a 28-year-old bail bondsperson who's been on her own ever since she was abandoned as  baby. But when Henry - the son she gave up years ago - finds her, everything changes. Henry is now 10 years old and in desperate need of Emma's help. He believes that Emma actually comes from an alternate world and is Snow White and Prince Charming's missing daughter. According to his book of fairytales, they sent her away to protect her from the Evil queen's curse which trapped the characters of fairytale world forever, frozen in time, and brought them into our modern world. It's a place where magic is forgotten, but is still powerfully close.
