Once Upon A Time review – 2×17: ‘Welcome To Storybrooke’

March 18, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

We’ve already seen two prequel episodes on ABC’s sister show, Revenge, but this is the first time we’re visiting the past history of Storybrooke on Once Upon A Time. There’s always a fear that these episodes only tell us what we already know (since we already know the outcome), to which I say…perhaps you missed the reappearance of a certain hunky Sheriff?

Once Upon A Time review – 2×16: ‘The Miller’s Daughter’

March 11, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

The promise of a darker series has come to fruition as Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) acts on her vow to kill Cora (Barbara Hershey). In an episode that manages to feel both agonizingly slow (let’s hang out in the pawn shop for 40 minutes!) and radically fast (those final ten minutes), ‘The Miller’s Daughter’ resets many character relationships in a bold move that will cause reverberations for the remainder of the season.

Nefarious plans are afoot in Storybrooke. Meanwhile Emma (Jennifer Morrison), Henry (Jared Gilmore) and Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle) arrive in the titular city of Manhattan and discover they know a common face.

Everyone’s favourite giant (Jorge Garcia) has been kidnapped and transported to Storybrooke as Once Upon A Time resumes its second season.

Once Upon A Time review – 2×12: ‘In The Name Of The Brother’

January 20, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

After last week’s so-so effort (decent storyline stretched beyond its capacity), I was interested to see how the show would move forward now that a Stranger (Ethan Embry) has car-crashed his way into Storybrooke.
