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 – 2×12: ‘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.

Once Upon A Time review – 2×10: ‘The Cricket Game’

Once Upon A Time kicks off the second half of the season with a murder. And leather. And tacos. Wait, what’s going on here?

Once Upon A Time review – 2×07: ‘Child Of The Moon’

November 11, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Once Upon A Time resurrects the werewolf curse first introduced in 1×15 ‘Red-Handed’ (one of the first season’s best episodes). So is the concept worthy of a second spin?

Once Upon A Time review – 2×04: ‘The Crocodile’

October 22, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Once Upon a Time continues to settle into its new format as it continues to toggle between ever more characters, worlds and time periods. Thankfully they’ve shortlisted the people in this particular episode, which means a week without Emma (Jennifer Morrison!)

Once Upon A Time review – 2×02: ‘We Are Both’

Magic may be back in Storybrooke, but that doesn’t mean that things have gotten any easier for its Maine residents. Thankfully Emma (Jennifer Morrison) sits most of the episode out, so the endeavour is nearly a completely thrilling success!
