scripsiSpoilers below.
I just saw the first episode of Once Upon A Time, which was very much a first episode. I’ve already gushed about the first scene with Oded Fehr’s Jafar, so I won’t say more about that now. I read an interview which said he is supposed to be the same Jafar as in Wonderland and what happened there has happened. So, now we have learned that Emma is rapidly getting some kind of Savior’s PTSD and that it is something all Saviors gets- and, indeed, that there are more than one Savior. However, I think the girl Emma encountered who told her she was going to die, wasn’t telling the truth. Especially if you consider she carried something that closely resemböe’d Jafar’s snake cane, that Jafar has a red parrot as a pet in the movie and that Emma was sent there by Hyde. If this wasn’t Jafar in disguise, then I think it was a minion. It was also stressed in another scene that villains lie. So that fate Emma daw is probably not as set in stone as it was said to be.
I liked that Belle still don’t want anything to do with Rumple. Their relationship is terribly dysfunctional and I hope she stick to it this time. I liked Regina and Snow talking and I thought is rather realistic that Regina would put blame on her sister. But it felt it was just put in there because the writer has changed their minds about Zelena being good. Also, I’m already so over Regina having split the Evil Queen from herself and we now have two versions of her. I found it much more interesting when she had to wrestle with her past. All in all not a bad beginning, but not much happened apart from establishing a few things, clearly setting them up for things to come.
I liked the first episode of Lucifer too, with Lucy actually coming to a little self-insight. About time!
I hadn’t thought I would watch American Horror Story this year. I’ve liked the premises of the last two seasons, started watching and then losing interest after about four episodes, so I thought I wouldn’t even try. But I’ve been fascinated by Roanoke since I was a kid and even if I’m sure there won’t be and real history in the show, the premise draw me in. I’ve actually liked the two first episodes a lot. So far there have been very few characters introduced, which have given them more focus, making them more interesting. We’ll see what I think a few episodes in.
Husband and I have begun season 6 of Charmed. I think the shady Chris is actually Wyatt’s baby brother. (Don’t spoil me on that!) I also think Page boring witch-boyfriend will turn evil.
I like Firefly more and more. Most of the character’s appeal to me, and none repulse me. And the costume and set design are wonderful. I’ve always liked SF design the most when it’s clearly drawing on history and not trying to be something “from the future”. Somewhere along the road, it’s those which looks most dated.
