Once Upon a Time Episode 10 – 7:15am

I loved that we finally got to truly see the story of the love affair between the Prince and Snow White. The movement between FairyLand and the town was much smoother this time; they seem to finally be getting those sequences done in a way that makes them much easier to follow.

This time around, we see things like Snow White and Red Riding Hood are friends and Miss Hood is not some little girl either. Just what did Snow do to help her out, though? Could it be that it wasn’t a local “huntsman” that rescued her from the Big Bad Wolf but Snow instead? They do have a way of tweaking the old fairy tales in this show that keeps you guessing.

The interplay between Snow and Mary Margaret – how they both want to find a way to just forget the man they love so it will stop hurting, was great this episode. First Snow goes to Rumpelstiltskin to find a remedy (how did Red know about him?) and then Mary Margaret walks around town wishing she could get over David. Plus the whole scene with David and his wife about trying to make it work was very believable. She just wants him back. Too bad that she isn’t the one he loves – although he doesn’t quite say that to her. Of course, you know that bad things are going to come from Mary Margaret and David doing the lip-lock in front of Regina.

But the best part was when Snow was in the prison and Grumpy starts talking to her. You just want to shout for joy, because you know that somehow he, and the rest of the crew, are going to be the ones responsible for her finding her true love again. The scene where they walk down the road and each of them looks like one of the Disney dwarfs was just too precious!

All in all I think this episode finally started moving everything forward again. The mysterious stranger turns out to be a writer; could he be someone with the last name of Grimm? Even so- he wouldn’t be a fairyland person then, so why can he come into town? I guess we will just have to wait and see.
