Once Upon A Time 1x03 "Snow Falls"

I am sorry if this sounds awkward. I usually don't do things like this, but I am hoping I will get better at it as I go along.

I am very impressed with this tv show. They have far past my expectations. I thought this show was going to be cheesey and just have no meaning what so ever, but I was so wrong. I love how strong they made the women, even when they are telling the fairytale side of it. 

I like how they changed how really changed how Snow White and Prince Charming meet. They didn't just meet at some random time. Snow White is a thief and hiding in the woods because his mother hates her and tried to kill her. I love how Snow White actually fights back and even is considered a criminal. I have never heard a Snow White character ever be portrayed as that. She doesn't take anything off of anyone and she does what she wants. I love how even though Snow White hits Prince Charming in the head and it sends him flowing down the river, he still comes to her rescue (dry, may I add) when some knights come and try to capture her and when they get away, he simply replies it was the honorable thing to do. When they go find some trolls near this bridge to get back Prince Charming's jewels that Snow White stole from him and the sold them to the trolls, they end up getting in a fight with them and again he comes to her rescue and fights. He tells her to go on ahead and that he's right behind her, but when she realizes he's not and that the trolls are actually getting a hold of him, she goes back and uses this necklace that she was saving to use on the queen. The stuff that is in this necklace just makes anything and anyone turn to dust. She just expains to him that it was the honorable thing to do. I also really love that they actually gave Prince Charming a name, James and that he is even going to be engaged to someone else. It makes it feel more realistic.

Emma Stone. I really like her. Jennifer Morrison is doing a great job with this character. I can only imagine what it feels like to have your child show up on your doorstep on your birthday and for him to tell you that you're a character from a fairy tale and you're the only one who can break the curse. Even though, it's really weird to think that Mary Margaret Blanchard (snow white) who  looks like the same age as her is her mother, I really like their relationship. I also think that their relationship is also going to be the thing that makes Emma believe in everything that's going on.

Mary Margaret Blanchard. I really perfer her as the snow white character that we got to see tonight. But I love how I got to see David Anders back on my screen. I hope he at least is in a few more episodes. After their date, I love the quote that she says to Emma about how "if finding true love was easy, we all would find it." Then when she is just trying to humor Henry when he says that John Doe is Prince Charming. When he touched her, I think that was the first thing that made her start to believe that what Henry is saying is true and that he is not delusional.  Then when he wakes from his coma and they find him near the trolls bridge, it was like he remembered her without realizing it. I also loved how they turned that true loves kiss around. Her kiss to him is what made him come conscious. I love that part so much!! She really started to believe it then too! My heart broke for her at the hospital when she finds out that he's engaged to someone else. I am pretty sure it is the same actress who played his soon to be fiance in the fairy tale half too. I think that Regina totally set that up though. He has been in a coma for years and this is the first time that she has come looking for him. 

Some of my favorite quotes from tonight

• Not having a happy ending is painful enough.
• If finding true love was easy, we all would have it.
• Not having anyone is the worst curse imaginable.

I really hope they're able to keep this show going. I love it and I love they're changing those stories and making it modern and making the characters stronger and how they are able to stand on their own.
