The Evil Queen obsesses about getting back at Snow White, who she believes had once destroyed her chances of love. Her first attempt to cast the notorious Dark Spell briefly unleashes a Smoke Monster lookalike, but then the spell fizzles out. She goes to consult the person who originally gave her the curse — Rumpelstiltskin.
From behind the bars of his rat-infested dungeon, Rumpelstiltskin tells the Evil Queen she must sacrifice the heart of the thing she loves most. I thought he meant that she loved herself the most, and I was wondering how she would cut out her own heart and still manage to live long enough to make it to Storybrooke — but no, Rumpelstiltskin meant the heart of her faithful servant who, it turns out, is her father.

Hi. I decided to start a new blog for Once Upon a Time. I had already written a few posts about the show, mostly about the Pilot episode, on my LOST blog. Check out my post there about the LOST references in Once Upon a Time, if you haven’t already seen it .
I’m actually a bit on the fence, at the moment, about OUAT. Of course, it’s written by LOST writers, so that’s a huge draw. And I’ve always been intrigued by new ways of telling old fairy tales (many years ago, I wrote a short story called “Happy Ever After” that retold the story of Hansel and Gretel), so I’m definitely on board with the idea. I love that it is a story, in part, about the nature of story-telling. But I’m not sure where they are going to go with it, and the pacing, at this point, sometimes feels slow. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
I hope to have some good discussions here. I think there will be a lot to talk about.
