She's probably the most underrated of the ones I like most in the show. Ginnifer Goodwin had a leading role on a pretty long-running HBO show, Robert Carlisle has a film career (and like, he's good in Once Upon a Time, but let's be honest, when he doesn't like his material, he gives it maybe 40 percent), Jennifer Morrison is always going to have a solid TV career, but the only thing I knew Lana Parilla from was some guest appearances on NYPD Blue and a one-shot on Lost, and that is an absolute crime.

Obviously not. I like threads where people have a sense of humor and possibly some forgiveness for a person having LITERALLY one of the worst days of her life and looking for a little fun. This isn't a thread for having fun. It is a thread for weird female-empowerment at the cost of good acting and decent storylines.

No woman on this show is a role-model! They are all damaged, overly-emotional and constantly make bad decisions. If that's what you want your female offspring to see, then blimey, there is no hope. :laffo:

Everyone who disagrees with you, doesn't need medication. You're so P.C., you've become belligerent to anyone with a different opinion. And I was just joking to begin with! It's a vicious circle. Don't turn into the high-and-mighty lesbian version of a redneck.

DoggPickle isn't a he, but yeah. It's not hard to hide pregnancy weight without being obvious about. Cheers did it, Friends did it, so if Once Upon a Time can't do it, blame production.

Like, again, multiple low-buget shows have been able to handle pregnancy without the audience noticing. Jennifer Morrison wears hair extensions for most of the show, Emilie de Ravin has worn a wig since season 5, and the fact that nobody seems to have noticed means that costuming and camera work have handled it, despite the *~~choice~~* of those actors to do a thing with their hair. If Ginny's minor weight fluctuations are making the flashbacks look silly, blame production.

if you came in and posted haha the flashbacks are silly because of ginny's baby weight people would have gone lol yeah. but you didn't, you started ranting about how fat she was and how actresses shouldn't have children because it makes them fat and their job is to be skinny and having an insane amount of kids should be job suicide for women (she is pregnant with her second kid) and how we are anti-feminist and your weird goddamn crusade over how she spells her name and literally saying I'm rubber you're glue while being 37

The latest flashback with him got rid of it, so no more "We borrowed Oliver Queen's flashback wig from Arrow" Charming wig!

You think production just flat out stops giving a poo poo about some characters? We see amazing costume design for the Evil Queen. Most flashback to the Enchanted Forest have pretty good aesthetics too. I just find Emma's looks to be pretty boring nowadays; kind of miss her curls and red leather jacket.

They clearly love putting effort into some characters, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. The outfits for Blue look so goddamn ridiculous, next to any other character from the show. It looks like she's a cartoon come to life even in a show where a lot of the characters are sort of dressed like cartoons.

Regina's ridiculous Evil Queen, Final Fantasy 8 Edea alt outfits are usually just fun, though.

Honestly I don't know. Probably a combination of crossover post from Shameless and having a genuinely bad day. But if you don't recognize that this thread is a very UN-friendly hive-mind, then the joke is on you, not me.

If i could rate the crappiness of that day from 1-10, I''d put getting roofied and going to jail and getting manhandled by the police for "drunk in public" at an 8 and election night at 11.

And I don't have "issues" or need medication. That is the lazy poster's way of shoving off another opinion. I won't take back anything I said, but I agree that I might have been a bit harsh in the moment. That's not an excuse for being a dick, but WOW you guys are off in your own little world, where hotness and chicks with chicks fanfic is completely overriding any sense of acting or storytelling.

Keep in mind the Patrick Stewart Rule, which is the rule dictating that American genre shows must retain at least one charismatic British actor (RP accent optional but desired) who sticks with it even after they lose interest because they can probably earn more in one tea break during filming than they could in a whole season with the RSC.

I came to this thread because I had a pretty bad flu last week and I ended up banging through most of my normal stuff, and I then realized that this show was back on and I watched 1-5 (not 6 & 7 yet), and I figured SA would be full of hilarious GIF's and funny comments, because this show is just as LUDICROUS as this run-on sentence.

It's too bad that more people don't watch it occasionally for the sheer terrible-ness. It's really pretty funny, like a lesson in how NOT to make a TV show.

Within the first two minutes of the first episode, Emma is lying to her friends and family for no reason at all (which I saw was pointed out. Thank you!)

Emma has wacky Jazz Hand + visions.
"What's wrong Emma?"
"Nothing"

Emma nearly fails a simple attack because of Jazz Hand..
"What's wrong Emma?"
"Nothing"

What? :laffo: You live in a town of magic and total weird poo poo all the time. What is wrong with you? They've literally run out of any way to write stories except through people keeping secrets and telling lies. It's the cheapest plot-contrivance possible, and they've made it the theme of the entire season. The Evil Queen basically says to their faces - "I'm going to rip you all apart by getting you all to keep your secrets and tell lies" and the entire cast of short-bus-riders just keep on doing it. YAY plot.

Then they go and ruin the Count of Monte Cristo in the silliest way ever. Yeah, he plans meticulously for 15 years and then just has a giant party and announces that he's (a 25 year old) Endmund Dantes and then stabs the guy to death. Okay, ruin Aladdin for me, but that's basically the EXACT OPPOSITE of any meaningful part of the Count of Monte Cristo. It was my favorite book as a kid and stupidly, it actually made me a little sad/mad until I realized that some moron just never actually read the story and now it just makes me laugh. (I'm not claiming I understood the French Politics as a kid. That poo poo is dense even now)

But the special effects are cheesy to an unbelievable degree for a primetime show. I tried to look up why exactly the effects are so terrible, but I couldn't find a decent answer. Much cheaper shows look 300% better. Heck, half the effects on Angel from a million years ago look much better. Current Sci-Fi shows have much better green screens and alien environments. Even the costumes look like stuff they'd sell at the mall for Halloween. It's just confusing, but in a funny way.

I'm not bagging on the entire thing because I was definitely entertained and I GENUINELY think all this stuff is very funny. I just don't quite understand how all of these bad things come together to exist on a bad TV show that has made it for 6 seasons! Even when they have good guest stars, it's like the entire experience drags them into this pit of hilarious cheesiness that just goes round and round about Good and Evil ENDINGS, when there are no endings because nobody really dies. :lol:

I don't hate Hook as much as most here, but he's nearly the only good eye-candy, and personally I think he can spew out even the silliest lines and still seem like a decent actor, whereas Regina just makes me laugh with every word, particularly as the evil queen. She's so camp, it's just bad-bad, but not awesome bad, just weird-bad.

And why is Snow White still so TV-fat? It's been years since she started getting fat right? I've been skinny and fat, and medium, and skinny and fat, and it takes a lot to go to your face like that, and GINeffer (ugggh) just keeps seeming bigger and bigger. Her pixie hair-cut is doing her no favors. At least Rumple was allowed to get a haircut.

The "Prince Charming reminds me of a Golden Retriever" comment made me giggle.

I was also surprised that they let Aladdin get away with that particular British Accent. I can understand him, but it's quite strong and very regional for American TV. It doesn't seem Australian, more like (If I say "Scouse" and that is the wrong one, I'm gonna get pummeled, but please know what I mean.)

Just to put your synchronized periods in context.. Because I refuse to be considered a troll.

They mentioned sometime this summer that the season was going to be more like season one's format, with the main storyline going through fall and spring, as opposed to just staying for one half. So maybe we keep the Evil Queen 'til April? It's anybody's guess. I liked having the main problem end every winter because it left something new to look forward to or erase the hell of the previous half of the season (Camelot).
