Yay!!! I am absolutely thrilled to see that you are wanting to watch Once Upon a Time for us here on your channel!! And that you have posted your reaction to this incredible Pilot episode in order to get our opinions as to whether or not we wish for you to continue watching this phenomenal show! My answer is one hundred percent yes! Once Upon a Time is my all time favorite show, alongside Person of Interest. I absolutely love, love, love this phenomenal show, and I would absolutely love for you to continue watching this show for us!! I watched all of your sister's reactions for this show over on her channel, and absolutely loved watching it with her. So, of course I would be thrilled to watch it again with you too, Jay!! I've talked with you in the past about considering requesting a few episodes each much for my requests along with Person of Interest. The only reason I haven't so far, is because I know how much you are really loving Person of Interest too, and I didn't want to take away the joy you're having in watching four episodes of it each month. However, I certainly hope you will be able to watch multiple episodes of Once Upon a Time for us now each month too! Pilot- Thank you so much for a fabulous first reaction for Once Upon a Time, my dear friend!! I am very excited to start on this new journey of watching this beautiful show I love so, so much. And I'm really happy to hear that you're intrigued by the storylines. So... Thank you again! This Pilot episode is fabulous, and I absolutely love it! I love both the storylines for our characters back in the Enchanted Forest, as well as for our characters in the present day... in Storybrooke. In the present, everyone is cursed without memories of who they truly are and who their loved ones are, and where they have all been living for twenty-eight years while frozen in time until now... Now that Emma has arrived and has begun to change things and weaken the curse over everyone, simply by choosing to stay in town because she sensed something wasn't right with the woman raising her son as her own. Not only do people have no memories, but they also haven't aged a day, which is why Snow White and Emma are now about the same age. The same age that all of the fairytale characters were in the Enchanted Forest just before the curse swept them away to our world. As for the Evil Queen's happy ending... Regina cast this curse over the heroes for a reason yet to be revealed. She wants everyone to suffer, while she's happy in the knowledge that they are all separated from their loved ones and miserable. This is why she says that the world they're about to be transported to is so horrible. Not simply because our world itself is horrible. Although.... Let's be honest. It is. Especially today. But besides this point... It's possible that Regina has all of her memories intact from her previous life in the Enchanted Forest, which is foreshadowed, or is implied when she stands in front of her mirror while holding the storybook, looking very angry. Regina is the town's Mayor and has complete control over everyone because everyone's miserable and afraid of her. Afraid to defy and stand up to her. That is their curse, and her happiness. Also... The Evil Queen's name is Regina like you remembered, Jay. Both in the Enchanted, and here in the real world. And the name Regina, means Queen. Very fitting name for the Evil Queen. Now... I love Emma and the storyline with her being destined to be the Savior, and I love that she is Snow White's and Prince Charming's daughter. I also love Snow White, Prince Charming, Regina the Evil Queen, and of course Rumplestiltskin... otherwise known as Mr. Gold in Storybrooke. He's so creepy and brilliant! And Henry is adorable. I love seeing the rest of the characters shown so far in Storybrooke as well. We've been introduced to quite a number of our other characters so far too, such as Jiminy Cricket and his dog Pongo from 101 Dalmatians, Red Riding Hood and her Granny, Geppetto and Pinocchio, the Blue Fairy also from Pinocchio, Sheriff Graham (I won't say who he is just yet in the Enchanted Forest in case you can't remember him), Grumpy, Doc, and the rest of the seven dwarfs, etc... One of my favorite scenes in this Pilot... I absolutely love the beginning scene where Prince Charming gives Snow White True Love's Kiss in order to wake her from the Evil Queen's poison from the apple. It's so beautiful and what a romantic setting as the snow is falling around them. And another of my favorite scenes... I love the curse coming and sweeping over the entire kingdom as the Evil Queen boasts to Snow White about how she won and that the only happy ending would be her own, until Snow proclaims that Emma will one day find them and defeat the curse and therefore the Evil Queen herself. That good always wins. What a phenomenal moment! And then... I also absolutely love the moment between Emma and Henry at the playground, when Henry assures Emma that he understands she had given him up in order to give him his best chance, like Snow White and Prince Charming did for her too. And the moment Emma tells Henry that she believes she had been abandoned by her parents, then was adopted until she was three, only to wind up back in the foster homes. So very sad. Emma has definitely had a tragic life and she doesn't believe in herself. This is just such a sad, yet powerful moment. :) Regarding Prince Charming still being alive in Storybrooke... Yes, Regina's dark curse actually does save his life, as the curse sweeps over him just before he dies. Charming was still barely clinging to life and just unconscious while Snow was holding him in her arms. Another crazy fact... When this show first began and was first written, the writers initially wanted to write that Prince Charming actually died in this Pilot episode, so Charming wasn't initially a main character and was only meant to appear in this Pilot episode. However, the creators immediately axed that idea and said they absolutely wanted him to be a main character alongside Snow White, Emma, Regina, Henry, and Rumplestiltskin. And thank goodness that they insisted. Because I absolutely love Prince Charming throughout this show, and Josh Dallas as Prince Charming! And lastly... I absolutely love the chemistry between Charming and Snow White!! Which is fabulous, because the actors chosen to play them... Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas... are actually married in real life. They met on the set of the show and fell in love throughout the filming of season one, then married sometime early on during the filming of season three. And now they have two children together. Their chemistry is absolutely beautiful, and their love for one another is very real. I absolutely love them. :) Your journey into this show has just begun and I can't wait for you to watch and react to more!! I think you will absolutely continue to love Once Upon a Time. At least... I do hope you will. Thank you again, Jay! Until your next reaction, my dear friend... Sincerely, Heidi

Fun Fact Jay. Once Upon a Time was filmed in and around Vancouver BC. You can still tour the sites of the show in Richmond and downtown Vancouver.

Hey I just want to say great reaction I am a patreon from your sister's page huge fan of hers so I figured give you a shot you both have great personalities also I'm really happy that you're going to be starting this series she did mention that you are a huge loss fan ABC's hit show so you're going to see a lost hidden gems throughout the season especially 8:15 specialist once upon a time you have to pay attention to every detail you could miss something but will definitely let you know in the comments if you miss something important also Adam and Eddie who created the shows they try to cater to all demographics so that's why the costume for the Blue Fairy and the evil queens are very for the men demographic
