Writing Wrongs

The oldest daughter reminds of Angelina Jolie. Maybe it's the lips. "I Morgan Freeman'd her." Must use this line.

Netflix has added a bunch of HGTV shows to its instant streaming.

I can't keep up. Are we back to people not being able to leave town because of the curse?

My question is about how the Once world is viewed by outsiders. They said that everyone knows the fairy tales and to our world they are just stories. They mentioned that Mulan had a movie based on her. So does that apply to all the characters who have had movies based on them? Where does Frozen fit in there? It's like how Sleepy Hollow doesn't acknowledge at all that there was a story by Washington Irving. It doesn't exist in their world. But Once seems to pick and choose.

I originally posted the prick tease comment. Bad choice of words and I apologize. I am a woman and not a chauvinist. I just don't want Hook and Emma to get into a rut of her seemingly giving him hope and then finding excuses to pull away and him trailing her like a lovesick puppy. That's not interesting to me.

Ooh, maybe she'll go all Dark Willow.

Bo Peep? This show is turning into that movie Hoodwinked.

I was about to post the same thing. I really don't care for Katrina. Until she starts throwing around some Charmed style fireballs or something, she's useless as a witch.

I really liked Greenshaw's Folly. As someone said, it was very English which is why I watch these shows.

Alex, it's "Death On The Nile", not "Murder On The Nile" you tool.

When does long haired David take place in the timeline?

I'm curious to see what the ratings were.

I think the reason I can tolerate Rumpel more than Regina is that I think his backstory and character are written better. Rumpel started out trying to save Bae and got tricked into becoming The Dark One and now he refuses to completely change. It's his crutch and he admits it. Yes, he's killed and manipulated people. But I still kinda like him. And Robert Carlyle is a great actor. Regina started off good (and I loved her Stable Boy backstory), but then chose to blame a child for all her problems. And has done horrible things because of it. Yes, Rumpel has manipulated her and her mother had manipulated her. I just don't find her character development or lack thereof that interesting. It's the same old thing. Now she blames Emma and Marian for her problems and chooses to go evil again. Big surprise.

I didn't know Lana had gotten married.

As someone who never got the appeal of The Simpsons, I thought it was ok. I'm sure I missed a lot of references. I laughed when Peter said not to drink the water, because everyone looked like they had hepatitis.

How dumb am I? I didn't even get the Regina/Emma door scene was a parallel for the Anna/Elsa scene in Frozen. I was wondering why they chose to film it that way.

I guess now I'm going to have to watch Fantasia?

I thought the troll was cute and I liked how they did Sven. I just can't with Regina's crap anymore. What was with that bad over the shoulder shot of Regina talking to Sidney? The stand-in had noticeably shorter hair than Lana. I'm beginning to think Emma is a prick tease.

I've laughed at a lot of the antics on this show, but I have to say the funniest I've seen so far is when Jeremy was driving the Reliant Robin 3 wheeled car. The way he kept flipping over on the side was hilarious. I can't believe they thought that was a good car to have in the '70s.

I've already seen Endless Night a while ago and I thought it was awful. I didn't even finish it. As I recall, I thought it was extremely boring. Maybe I should give it another try?

I've found something to like in all the actresses who have portrayed Miss Marple, even Margaret Rutherford. They each bring their own style to it. No matter how many times I've watched the episodes or seen various versions, I can never remember who did what or why. I kept having a hard time figuring out Caribbean Mystery. I kept remembering bits and pieces, but the ending eluded me.

Why did Lindsay Crouse leave?

If anyone has Netflix, they have the animated Snow Queen movie that came out around the same time Frozen did. It's not that bad and for someone (like me) who didn't know the original story, it's a good start. Here's the trailer for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJrTHEDgHfY Apparently they are making a sequel to it : http://variety.com/2014/film/news/the-snow-queen-2-sells-to-10-territories-adds-hollywood-voicecast-1201303067/

Touring the Once Costume Dept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frKEEGFJrfg#t=32 I really love the costumes.

Other Side of The Mirror has a good podcast, but they are pro-Regina all the way, so be warned. I love the Greetings From Storybrooke one. They are very entertaining.
