I know, so am I! The commercial had someone breaking into Mr. Gold's shop and taking somethin out of the glass case, then it showed that it was a hook! Captain Hook is gonna be in season 2! :pirate:

^ It's got a lot to do with rights and stuff. If it was shown on Sky, we'd only be one week behind you and when you take a break, we'd take one as well. As it's a terrrestial channel, I guess we have to wait until you have finished before we get it, minus the mid-season break thankfully. And because US shows are so long (22 weeks is a loooong time), by the time we get it and watch it, another series is ready!

So it's going to be at least March next year I'd say before the UK gets series 2. Unless of course Channel 5 loses it to Sky, and then I'll never get to see it. :-(

Well the average one hour show, maybe has 6-10 episodes at the very most. Shows like Law and Order UK had around 7 per series. But something like Doctor Who varies from around 8-10. Longer shows. Sometimes special one off shows, maybe a Charles Dickens adaptation, might have a lot of episodes, but that's a special case. The 2 hour shows, you used to be lucky to get three episodes for series, or sometimes like with Midsomer Murders, you'd get six, but only see one once every 2 months, so it never felt like a series. Downton Abbey kind of changed all that, as there would be 7 or 8 episodes, which is quite amazing actually.

In answer to your question in the shortest way possible - we get waaaaay less episodes per seasons than you do. :P

I think August is probably my favourite character though. I mean, Emma is being so dumb. This young guy with a nice face, and designer stubble, roars up on a motorbike, always wears leathers, takes an interest in her and the kid, tells her nothing more weird than stuff her 9 year old says, and she doesn't have any interest him? Girl, you loco. :blink:

August is hot, I think this is the first time I ever found myself saying "Pinocchio is hot" :-o Emma just doesn't trust people, it happens when you find yourself abbandoned by pretty much everyone, and this guy shows up in the middle of nowhere, kinda shady, can't blame her for not trusting him, then he dumps the whole "curse" on someone who only believes in rational stuff only because he has to before he turns to wood, yeah...cuckoo lol but I AM hoping they hook up in season two, I think they would make a wonderful couple.

Poor Sidney though. When is he ever going to learn?

he's like a junkie that just WON'T get help till he hits rock bottom lol something will have to happen for him to snap out of it.

^ I will forgive you for letting it slip that they don't hook up in this season. :P With only two episodes left, I was clutching at straws that it would happen. :lol:

I would just like to say, that even with wooden legs and a wooden arm, August is a lot sexier than most people you see around in the world today. :teehee: I'm pretty convinced they are meant to be. But as to how all this is going to end I have no idea. Ages, and timelines and world swapping. If everyone goes back to fairytale land, are they going to age accodingly? Otherwise Emma will be the same age as her mother. :blink: Gah, so many questions.

Can I just say that that was really brave of Henry to eat that apple turnover. I mean, he didn't know how it was going to affect him! Who's going to be his true love to break the curse? :-o

Boy I can't wait for next week's episode. I was thinking for a moment that Regina was going to tell Gold that she has Belle locked up, but then all she'd get from him was his help once and then his hatred forever... but I honestly cannot wait to see the episode when he realizes that's where Belle is. Going to be fireworks. ;)

I'm sad at the moment because our TV magazine doesn't list August as being in this week's episode. I hope he is in it, I'd imagine Emma will need his help. And also it's going to be another 6 MONTHS before I get to see his perfect face again. :-(

Hey, at least it was a good spoiler, because I now know that August SURVIVES, which is always good news when you are a fangirl.

I know, I can't wait to post about it either, and THEN I've got 10 pages to go back and read.

Normally I read about shows, so then I can post with everyone else even though I haven't seen it, but I was very good with this series and didn't peek at all. :happy:

When Mary-Margaret wears her little pink beret thing with her mittens and that lilac scarf, with her absolute pefect complexion and hair cut that I'm sure no one else suits, I just can't help staring. It's like Michelle Dockey from Downton Abbey with those eyebrows and that voice. WHY YOU SO PERFECT??

Oh, yeah the mayor has some great style. It clearly says "don't mess with this sister". But again her make-up and hair and everything is just perfect. I think the wardrobe and make-up people did a really great job with the females in this show. Everything suits their characters perfectly.


I will say this about Ginnifer Goodwin: she almost made me cut off all my hair into a pixie-cut. ;) Especially since we've got the same sort of facial structure. I looked at her and whined "I waaaant toooo loooook like thaaaat!!" Absolutely adorable. Though sometimes I question her choice of pants. :P (Or, you know, the costume people's choice of pants.) When she was in jail she wore these, like, red skinny things. Didn't like it, personally. :P But I agree with you, her hats rock!

What I like about Regina's style is when she's the mayor, she really does look like a mayor. She's got that sort of professional-looking, rather bland attractiveness that you get in female politicians and newswomen, who don't want to be sexy per se but who need to be seen a lot. But then she becomes the queen and BOOM! Sexiness abound.

I like David and Mary-Maragert but there is only so much indecision I can take. And I think Prince Charming got a rum deal. Most of the other characters are not too far away from their true characters, sometimes I just want to slap David.


I know what you mean. But I think the thing with David is the sort of subtle message of, chivalry doesn't work in the real world. The whole Kathryn thing, I think, proved that. He went back to her to be chivalrous, and then he was so paranoid about hurting anyone that he ended up hurting everyone. I sort of like that message, though I don't always like David. He's much cuter when paired with Mary-Margaret. :P

Oh yeah, I think that's a fascinating thing about David's character. Because we have this ideal of "every girl wants to find her Prince Charming," but Prince Charming can only exist in the fantasy world. In the real world, he's going to screw up and be human.

OMG

Officially THE worst ending to a TV series EVER! It was like the ending for LOST and that was bad enough but I like this show a lot more.

Come on, couldn't we have seen August alive and OK and maybe running in to his father? Or maybe ol' Jiminy running into Gepetto or just something like that? Just to sweeten the deal??

Gah, so frustrating. :duh:

EDIT: And another thing that has been bugging me, who the heck is the doctor? Or have I just forgotten?? :blink:

this IS a show done by the Lost people :P I knew we wouldn't see August, that's one cliffhanger for next season, I'm sure he'll live, maybe Emma will have to do something to bring him back, ask the blue fairy or something :P I for one loved the season finale, loved that Rumple and Belle said "I love you"

I honestly didn't think about it from that point of view, then again I never really gave his character much thought. I just kept thinking he had bad luck :lol: But that definitely makes sense.

We don't know yet. :disgust: But apparently his story will be this season! I'm really excited. My friend has a theory that he's Prince Eric, which I would find really interesting, but I'm holding back all judgement. I just want to knoooow!
