Once Upon a Time- OMG this is awesome

[kitewithfish]

So, I missed VividCon again, despite it being in my home city, by means of not paying attention and finding out about it by accident too late to attend. Like last year. And the year before that. I need to get myself some alerts or something.

In other news, I have started watched ONCE UPON A TIME and it's amazing! And I can't read the fic yet, because I am seriously behind in the first season (Just watched episode 12 "Skin Deep") and it's KILLING ME. Because this is a show where, despite it being about stories that I sort of know*, they end up twisting the story enough that I can't take anything for granted.

It's kind of like watching really, really well done crossover fiction- connections that scream for attention get made, but also connections you were never expecting and that really, really draw you in and surprise you.


*My God, but this show relies on the Disney-fied versions a lot.

I'm pretty sure it's actually a Disney show. (Thus the Disney versions of the stories. And thus why it probably won't ever go there as much as it could, yet remains generally delightful.)

Yeah. It's ABC, so that means it's Disney- which explains a good deal about how they don't have to just *nod* to the Disney mythos for fear of getting sued for intellectual property or whatever. I think it makes for a better show.

I'm just glad that we're in a setting where the fairy tales are not something with have to shoot at. I've been watching Supernatural for too long- I keep being shocked everytime Once Upon a Time makes an evil character sympathetic.
