Gah, I knew there was something else that was starting on Sundays other than Walking Dead. I made a mental note, and it got erased due to playing video games...
Whichever one is combining fairy tales with NCIS/CSI/SVU/Random Forensics Acronym show makes me want to kill a TV writer.
I mean, really? Really??
I think that's Grim. Where the guy is some sort of special "Grim" who can see/understand all the mystical stuff.
I caught the first episode of Once Upon a Time today on Demand. Seems interesting. I'll probably keep an eye on it. I thought Rumpelstiltskin kind of looked like Rush from SGU. Then later in the episode, without all the costume makeup on, it definitely was him.
Raising kids was a great excuse to indulge in fairy tales.
I watched Once Upon a Time. We'll have to see where it goes. I thought '28' was a weird age for Emma to come back except that it provides a decade for an annoying kid to grow up and ignite the whole story.

I don't have cable, otherwise I'd consider checking it out.
Grimm aired today (last night, I guess). Seemed decent as well. Has a Haven feel to it. FBI guy thrown into a supernatural world by connections to his past he didn't know about. It's a male version of Audrey Parker.
I just watched the second episode of Once Upon a Time. I haven't been able to watch them when they actually come on, so I stick to On Demand.
Some things seem a bit lame to me (like a lot of the Dialogue between the characters), but then overall it's interesting enough to keep me wanting to watch.
It seems that Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin was immune to the curse (because he made it) and remembers everything, including the deal the Witch made with him. And it seems like he is going to be a good guy, which is odd from his usual portrayal. Of course he could be bad, but just using Emma for his own ends (probably). I can't imagine him wanting to go back to being locked in a jail under the castle. The Witch/Rumpelstiltskin conversation at the end of the episode was really good.

Tony Amendola plays Gepetto too. Now we just need Amanda Tapping to make a cameo as Sleeping Beauty.
Anyone still watching Once Upon a Time? I'm liking it so far. I'm still not sure what Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin is up to though. Last episode, he helped out the Witch by getting Charming to remember his fake past. Seems he wants to keep the curse active, but be the one in power. I don't understand why he would purposefully choose Snow White's grandson for the witch to adopt if he doesn't want the curse broken though.
Grim is interesting enough. Seems to be moving kind of slow though. I haven't watched last week's episode yet. It wasn't on demand last night and there are Christmas specials of Eureka and Warehouse 13 on tonight.
I dunno. I thought I saw something about "3 bad wolves" as the title. But when I went through On Demand I didn't see anything, just the last episode dealing with the smelly guy who ate frogs. I just assumed I missed the episode.
I've been watching both, and I definitely like Once Upon a Time better. Grim is interesting, but after two episodes I just couldn't get that into it.
It's definitely interesting to see Mr. Gold/Rumpy in action though. At first you think he's going to help end the curse, then he seems actively invested in keeping it going. He's definitely an interesting character.
Also, I love the actress who plays the mayor/witch. She's really great at the 3 dimensional acting. There are times where I hate her, and times where I actually feel pity for her. It's a nice change from your typical villain.

Yeah, the mayor is good. I think her character will provide the pivitol moment in the story. It'll probably be something like she'll need to make a choice; she'll have to choose between killing the kid to carry out her evil plan or not killing him and getting past all her hate.

We'll have to find out what it is she thinks Snow White did to her, or what Snow White actually did. They've stated bits and pieces, but I don't think we know exactly what it is. In the story, wasn't her only crime being more beautiful than the Witch? I think it's a little deeper this time around, but probably not something that Snow White purposefully did.
She does really love the kid though, but only as a replacement for her father, Henry. Does it mean any less when she's just using the kid as something to put all her love for her father, and guilt for killing her father, into?
Also: Why, in a town created by and control by the Queen, does there exist a book chronicling the entirety of the Storybook world history up to and including the Witch's Curse and the Prophecy about how it will be broken? Another of Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin's doings? Or the fairies that uncovered the tree to protect the one person they could send.

Yeah, that's something I've been curious about too. I'm very eager to find out what the thing is.
Also, boo for having to wait almost an entire month until a new episode.
So I watched both of these and I gotta say, I am a much bigger fan of Once Upon a Time.
The story has a nice subtlety to it because you don't know concretely for a while if all this is actually happening or if the little boy is just seeing things. (Although to be fair if it was all in his head, I'd make for a crap ending)
Grimm on the other hand was like "I AM YOUR MOTHER, I HAVE CANCER, HERE IS A SECRECT, BLAAARGH I AM SLAIN"
