Once Upon A Time 2.22: “And Straight On Til Morning” or “Shine Bright Like A Diamond”

Once Upon A Time 2.22: “And Straight On Til Morning” or “Shine Bright Like A Diamond”

It’s taken me a while to get my thoughts in order when contemplating the Season 2 finale of Once Upon A Time.  You see, I generally describe this show as “cracktastic”, but there comes a point when even I have to do a double take and become a general mess of “huh?”  There were certain things about this final episode of Season 2 that were pleasing: the full circle of Emma and Regina’s magic; the redemption of our Evil Queen; Henry finally...

Once Upon A Time 2.21: “Second Star To The Right” or “We Are Never Getting Back Together”

Once Upon A Time 2.21: “Second Star To The Right” or “We Are Never Getting Back Together”

Previously on Once Upon A Time: there’s a focus on beans – a bean theme, if you will.  The Spy Kids – Greg and Tamara – kidnap Regina by putting a bag over her head and neutering her magic.  That just shows how ridiculous they are.  I mean, who would put a bag over Lana Parrilla’s head?  Insanity. Anyway, we’re reminded that Baby!Bae went to a world without magic – which turns out to be London.  Please, show.  Don’t even go there.  Our...

Once Upon A Time 2.20: “The Evil Queen” or “I Can’t Make You Love Me”

Once Upon A Time 2.20: “The Evil Queen” or “I Can’t Make You Love Me”

I admit, I had to watch this week’s episode of Once more than a few times before I could get around to reviewing it.  I kept getting distracted by Lana Parrilla’s FACE.  It’s really one of the only reasons that keeps me coming back week after week – understandable, as in The Evil Queen, Lana not only out-acted, out-emoted and downright out-stripped the rest of the cast, but, as always, made them raise their game in every scene she shared...

Once Upon A Time 2.19: “Lacey” or “Cupid, Draw Back Your Bow”

Previously on Once Upon A Time: Neal has a fiancée!  She’s evil!  Wood conducts electricity!  Regina’s a childsnatcher! The kid she wanted to keep has grown up!  And he’s evil!  The 80’s never ended!  And – wait…wood conducts electricity? The hiatus has been hard on everyone, not least August.  He got turned back into a little boy again.  Honestly, talk about curses; that’s the worst one of all.  Puberty, those tricky teenage years…I’m...
