Episode Discussion: "Snow Falls"

[flareonfury.livejournal.com]

At Henry's urging, Emma convinces his school teacher Mary Margaret
Blanchard to visit a comatose John Doe at Storybrooke General Hospital
and read to him from the book of fairytales – unaware that Mary Margaret
will be stunned at the outcome – while the unexpected first meeting
between Snow White and Prince Charming is revealed.

Okay, truthishly? Snow/Charming bores me a bit. However, I still really liked this episode for the female bonding with Emma and Mary Margaret and I want more of it. They can braid each other's hair and have mother/daughter heart to hearts and it'll be delightful!

I also like how Snow got upgraded to Action Girl without gaining inexplicable combat expertise that wouldn't make any sense for her to have. Thieving, riding, and wilderness survival? She's good at it. Actual fighting? Not so much. By the by, what did she do to EQ in the first place? I must know.

I'm interested in seeing how the series handles the multiple princess issue in regards to Charming. Fables just had one Prince Charming who was a womanizing cheater who had been married to each of the fairy tale princesses at one point, but it looks like maybe this show is going to have multiple princes? Shame, it would be fun to see the princesses duke it out over Charming. Maybe Mary Margaret and Catharine can fight at some point. *pout* I just want one bareknuckle brawl between fairy tale princesses, is that so much to ask?

My biggest complaint is that there was zero Rupelstiltskin in this episode, but it looks like the next one will be centered on him. I AM EAGER.

Well, Prince Thomas (Cinderella's Prince) is introduced in the next episode. :)

I am with you! I want them to duke that out. Of course, I am not on Catherine's side... not at all.

I totally loved all the Emma/Mary bonding too. :) I spent the whole time flailing at my tv, going you two are related but don't know it just love each otheeeeeeer! lol. Mother/daughter bonding is a thing that needs to happen more often on my screen.

I was really upset about the complete lack of Rumplestiltskin until I saw the preview for next week. Looks like he'll have plenty of scenes! :D He's my favorite character so I can't wait!!

I love your comments on this show, tbqh. Everything you say I either agree with or it makes me look at things from a new pov.

The part about Snow being Action Girl without suddenly developing unrealistic ninja skills that don't fit her character. She's not turning into Nikita and doing martial arts combat moves, she's just perfected her survival techniques and using whatever advantage she can get. (that move at the river, blindsiding Charming, haha!)

I so want to know what she did to the queen as well!

According to my Fables loving friend, ABC bought the rights at one point. I wonder if they kept the rights, or changed the terms to incorporate some of the ideas. I don't know.

Same friend is convinced the Sheriff is Bigby. I dunno since the first issue paperback bored to me to tears.
