Once Upon a Time

Why do I even bother with this nonsense! Every season, in fact, every episode is most ridiculous than the previous and it just never ends! But here I am watching it, waiting for the next episode to come out. The only reason I started watching it in the first place was because of Emma (Jennifer Morrison) (I liked Zoey in HIMYM). She has to be the main protagonist. It makes me a little angry not seeing her name in the first credits.

Let me start by ranting about Snow. Ginnifer Goodwin is a pretty good actress. But I hated the character of Snow White. I get her not wanting to turn dark and all but wanting to forgive Regina, stopping her execution and actually trying to change her after everything has to be the stupidest thing anyone can ever do. Serves her right then suffering after the curse and all. Her hair, I hate her hair in Storybrooke. Snow fighting dark, Snow fighting everything! It cannot get more annoying. Sometimes I don't blame Regina. Why doesn't it ever grow? She is not both Rapunzel and Snow White is she!
And what I can say about Prince Charming. Even the name makes me so mad. And he is not good-looking either. And such a pushover. Snow has him wrapped around her little finger. There is nothing charming around a guy who cannot stand up to himself and is pretty much incapable of getting angry.

And the flashbacks are just always the same. Regina being evil and Snow deciding to forgive her. The only storyline I like is that of Belle and Rumpelstiltskin. Robert Carlyle is terrific with his hand gestures and 'dearie's. And I love Emilie de Ravin in everything she does.
So yes it must have been difficult to fit in all the fairy tale characters in one timeline. Peter Pan is somehow Rumpelstiltskin's father and Mulan falls for Aurora. Too many characters, too complicated storyline which might just never end.
I hated Neal the first time Emma got paired with him. Why would someone like her fall for a nobody like him! But there is just something about Michael Raymond-James. He is not at all attractive or desirable in the strict sense but he sure knows how to turn a girl about.
Captain Hook is hot, well he is a pirate so he has to be. The chemistry between him and Emma is good. Thankfully after than bland one between Mr. and Mrs. Charming, pretty much any other pairing is beautiful.
The character I can stand and whose story does not suck much is Red. So she is a werewolf. Brave, fiesty and hot, without that annoying conscience lurking around her every actions. She is perfect!
