Starting tonite .... can't wait, something somewhat original! The cast is great and the story line looks pretty good. Between this and GRIMM starting on Friday the week is looking up!
This episode definitely felt really mashed together, and didn't flow well at all. I like that they are willing to make the show a little bit darker though, it's definitely for a slightly older audience than its premise would indicate.

That or they just dont age.
Also Jimmy was promised all the years he needs to take care of Geppetto.
They don't age, or at least they didnt until Emma showed up. Remember episode 1 the clock didnt move until she decided to stay and got a room at the inn.

I could understand anyone under the curse not noticing that time is standing still, but the little boy would at least notice since he isn't under the curse.
And if he did notice that he is the only one aging, he should really use that in trying to convince the others.
Like: "Hey birth mom, everyone in this town reminds me of people in my story book, I think they're under a spell........oh, and no one is aging but me. That one chick was prego for 28 years, kind of odd".
The only thing I can figure is when baby emma went in the tree. Tree vs Curse time is off by years. Add in the 10 yr old and time had to pass since he was picked up when he was a baby. Then again there is nothing to say Cindy got preggers also in the real world.
I enjoyed this episode about the Prince much better than last week's episode about Jiminy Cricket. The back story was good although I couldn't quite place the timeline until the very end when the Prince and his new bride were in the carriage.
According to the back story in a previous episode, the Prince leaves his forced marriage and joins with Snow White. Does that mean that in Storybrook, David will eventually leave his wife for Mary Margaret? Seems a little convoluted since he already left his wife for Mary Margaret and then changed his mind and went back to her.
Am I right that previews are not spoiler material? Maybe I'll put this question in spoiler tags anyway.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) Spoiler Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) Who do you think will die next week?
I'm enjoying the show but want to move things ahead a bit. The "Queen" always wins, I'd like a few small victories for the other side, nothing major at this point for a little something would be nice.
Any one else wondering exactly how many kingdoms there are in the fairy tale world. At this point we have four or five different kingdoms, the one that Midas is king of, the one Cinderella is from, the snow white/evil queen one, and the one that the prince is from. Also if you want to count the one that maleficent is from that is another one.
My point is how many kingdoms can there be and what exactly constitutes a kingdom in the first place?

Kingdoms for the most part used to be a lot smaller. In its early history, Great Britain was subdivided into a number of kindgoms. Numerous wars brought it to England, Wales, and Scotland, eventually to the United Kingdom.
I would say a kingdom is run by a king, who does NOT owe allegiance (taxes and soldiers) to a higher authority. Typically, his kingdom will consist of his own lands plus lands held by other nobles who owe him allegiance and pay taxes and provide soldiers.
I think they shot their FX season budget this episode with the dragon.
Also- isn't gold a very soft metal, as in too soft for battle? Most Medieval swords were made of steel weren't they? Dragons (according to myth) were supposed to have the toughest of armored hides and unless it was some sort of mystical gold sword (I guess this is as likely as anything when fighting a mythical beast) it wouldn't have been possible to slay much of anything with one. Yes, I know I'm getting nit-picky, but I guess if I was a knight I had a sword made gold I certainly would just throw it in the repository more than the armory.

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought. But then I thought that if they can magically turn a sword into gold, then maybe they can magically make it stronger than steel as well. So I dismissed the thought.
When the "new" Prince Charming had the dragon trapped in the rocks, why didn't the dragon just torch him? One crsipy Prince on a stick. With that said, I really enjoy this show. There was more & better SFX in this one episode than the entire season of Terra Nova so far.

It was also impossible for a normal man to chop off the head in a single blow, but he's no normal man. He's Charming. A fabled dragon/wyvern slayer and just like Buffy has strength of ten men and can kill anything with any implement no matter how blunt or purely decorative it might be.

The dragon analyzed the situation and determined that in the enclosed area a flame would rebound off the rocks and strike him; therefore, he tried biting the subject instead which led to his demise by decapitation by the impostor Prince with the fake gold sword.

The potential for splashback damage was my thought as well. It's the same reason you don't use a rocket launcher that close in. The dragon would look pretty stupid if it managed to frag itself.
My comment at the start of the duel: And we're into a Marines commercial.

To many things wrong with this episode that has already been pointed out. Not a fan of this one.
I am getting a bad feeling about this show. Not sure how long they can drag this on with the whole will the remember or wont they. Obviously everyone isn't going to remember or the show would be over. Not sure where they can go with this but we will see.
I've never met a dragon, so I'll take your word for it. Seems he lost his head one way or another.
