40:40 up the books sorry to bother you no it's it's okay I fear this is partially my fault how's a book supposed to help no what do you think stories are for these stories the classics there's a reason we all know them they're a way for us to to deal with our world a world that doesn't always make sense Henry hasn't had the easiest life yeah yeah she's kind of she's kind of a hardass no it's more than just her he's he's like any adopted child he wrestles with that basic question they all inevitably face why would anyone give me away Mary Margaret turns to Emma mortified oh I I am so sorry I am so sorry I didn't mean to judge you in any way it's okay I mean look I I gave the book to him because I wanted Henry to have the most important thing anyone can have hope believing in even the possibility of a happy ending is a very powerful thing you know where he is don't you you might want to check his castle cut to the

41:48 fairy tale land castle we pushed through the bedroom window to find snow in lab in bed with in labor her face a ball of Agony St tends to her Charming is at her side she clutches his hand like a vice I can't have this baby now Doc do something it's going to be okay the W wardrobe is almost finished just hold on the evil queen accompanied by dozens of Black Knights races through the woods at the castle jepetto rushes in it's ready Charming starts to scoop snow up but doc shakes his head it's too late we can't move her push the black Carriage approaches behind it we see the Mist slowly encroaching the queen Smiles wickedly from inside her carriage a smile of Victory as the Mist begins to envelop the castle grounds we hear a baby cry baby Emma is wrapped in a blanket snow cradles her child looking up at her with all the love in her heart then up at Charming as a horrible realization Dawn wardrobe it only takes one

42:58 outside we hear the sounds of a battle raging the queen and her curse are closing in and our plan failed at least we're together he holds her tight snow just stares at her baby no you have to take her take the baby to the Wardrobe are you out of your mind no it's the only way you have to send her through no you don't know what you're saying no I do we have to believe that she'll come back for us tears stream down her her cheeks as she makes this most difficult Proclamation Charming is crying too because he knows she's right we have to give her her best chance Charming kisses baby Emma on the forehead bye Emma snow kisses the baby's forehead the tears are flowing freely she then runs the hands the baby to Charming he kisses snow quickly and then runs off not before grabbing a sword snow cannot bear her grief and falls in his sobs as sea leaves with the the baby wrapped in a blanket in his arms and his

43:59 sword drawn Charming races down the stairs and out into another hallway he moved to the nursy door just as two black knights arrive they charge Charming but even while protecting his newborn he's one hell of a swordsman swack swack he takes him out but in the Melly he's stabbed in the shoulder grunting and bleeding he kicks open the door to the nursery Charming stumbles toward the Wardrobe he unlocks the lock at gently places the baby inside as Charming looks down at the baby rubs his hand on her forehead find us then quickly he closes the door locks it and faces the oncoming guards the knights charge and Charming is too wounded to dodge he feebly attempts to Parry their swords but the first guard knocks it from his hands the second runs him through Charming Falls over to the ground the knights reach the Wardrobe they slash and slash at the wood chopping at it until the door doors fall off and inside the Wardrobe is empty the

45:02 prince Smiles successful his eyes closing perhaps for the last time back to Storybrook oops a rundown wooden Castle playset sits inside the beside the shore Henry sits at the edge as Emma climbs up to sit beside him with his book you left this in my car he takes it from her wordlessly still hasn't moved huh they stare out the clock tower still stuck at 8:15 I was hoping that when I brought you back things would change here that the final battle would begin I'm not fighting any battles kid yes you are you're here because it's your destiny you're going to bring back the Happy Endings can you cut it with the book crap you don't have to be hostile I know you like me I can tell you're just pushing me away because I make you feel guilty it's okay I know why you gave me away you wanted to give me my best chance Emma's eyes Sting with tears how do you know that it's the same reason Snow White gave you away listen to me kid I

47:22 your parents were trying to save you from the curse sure they were come on Henry she turns and he follows her taking her hand back in fairy tale land snow limps into the nursery and is greeted by a horrific sight admidst the rubble from the smashed Ward wardrobe Charming lies in the ground barely breathing no no no no she hurries to his side and cradles his head in her lap tears run down her cheeks please please come back to me no response she kisses him hard and looks down at him hopeful but there is no change she kisses him again as footsteps approach oh don't worry dear snow looks up to see the queen entering a malevolent look of satisfaction on her face in a few moments you won't remember you knew him let alone loved him why did you do this because this is my happy ending before snow can respond to two black knights hurry back in the child gone it was in the wardrobe then it was gone it's nowhere to be found the

48:38 queen stares daggers at snow where is she she got away you're going to lose I know that now good will always win we'll see about that the Mist surrounds the castle with flashes of lightning the world around them begins to crack the Mist surrounds and envelops everyone dematerializing them as a Vortex swirls around them where are we going somewhere horrible absolutely horrible a place where the only happy ending will be mine and with the Blackness consumes them all cut back to Regina's house Regina opens the door and Henry leaves Emma's side running the house past Regina thank you no problem he seems to have taken quite a shine to you you know it's kind of crazy yesterday was my birthday and when I blew out the candle on this cupcake I bought for myself I actually made a wish that I didn't have to be alone on my birthday and didn't hry showed up I hope there's no misunderstanding here I'm sorry

51:28 beside behind her upstairs Regina glances down at Henry lying in his bed she holds his story book tightly she hurries downstairs and looks at a thick book in her hand and grimaces across town in the hospital Mary Margaret makes her way through a ward of patients placing small vases of flowers on their nightstands she reaches the final patient a k Toast Man with a wristband identifying him as John Doe she places his FL flowers then leaves it is then that we see that this man is her Prince Charming in his room Henry looks out of the window at the clock tower Emma makes her way through a small wooded area to Granny's bed and breakfast she enters and a fight is in progress you're out all night and now you're going out again I should have moved to Boston a red-haired 20-some girl Ruby saunter down the stairs followed by her elderly relative and the proprietor of this EST this EST establishment granny yeah I'm sorry that

53:58 hand moves Henry Smiles end of episode one um you want to take a little break or are we good we can this is a natural pausing for if anyone wants one I'm good I'm good I'm fine all right let's keep reading then episode three snow falls open on a wide Carriage traveling through the Enchanted Woods of fairy tale land inside Charming appears out the window what do you think of the view my dear his fiance princess Abigail sits across from him fanning herself rapidly I've seen better this is taking forever I told you the troll Road would have been quicker and far less bumpy Prince Charming takes a bag of jewelry in his laps lap and gazes at it Abigail gazes at the box and then at him are you even listening to me yes of course I am whoa whoa carriage horses nay as they draw to a halt now what the carriage stops the prince gets out to investigate leaving behind the bag on the seat a large tree trunk lays across the path

55:20 ahead wor we not it's but a Fallen Tree fellas shall we Prince Charming examines the end of the tree and then a cloaked figure lands on top of the carriage which startles Abigail inside Prince Charming continues to assess the marks on the tree well Lord what is that these markings this tree didn't fall it's been cut it's an ambush the cloak figure reaches into the open Carriage door and grabs the bag on the seat Abigail screams at the intrud and Prince Charming rushes back sir ah guards stop th help me the thief mounts a horse and makes a getaway Prince Charming mounts a horse as well and chases after the thief as he passes by The Carriage Abigail looks out the door at the commotion oh oh there we go sorry um a little bit more there at the bottom Vicki sorry oh uh Charming manages to catch up to the thief and when his horse speeds up to align with the other Horse He forces the thief from the horse to the

56:42 ground he falls and gets up to stand over the thief show your face you coward Prince Charming flips the thief over and prepar PR's fist to punch he stops and the anger melts from his from his face to show Dave's surprise you're you're a girl woman grabbing a rock she hits Prince Charming in the face with it he sprawls to the side in pain she gets back onto her horse and rides off Prince Charming gets up his chin Blood Stained and yells at the thief you can't hide from me wherever you are I will find you the thief turns to flash him a satisfied smir as she gets away Prince Charming shoots her an irritated look back in story Storybrook Dr Whale and Mary Margaret are on a date at Granny's Diner um where were we something about you wanting 15 kids oh no good Lord no I I I meant in my class where I teach you'll meet them tomorrow Dr Whale nods in understanding and then as she continues to speak his gaze drifts to

58:03 the person behind her Ruby is clearing tables in the background and he is scantily clad in a white shirt showing her midriff with a red miniskirt and high heels they're coming to the hospital as part of the volunteer outreach program Ruby moves to another table almost directly behind Mary Margaret he quickly shifts his eyes back and time to respond oh yeah that is a great program Dr wh tries to remain focused as she speaks but keeps quickly glancing back at Ruby I mean obviously I don't want 15 kids of my own I I I mean not not that I don't want kids I I do he loses interest in the conversation and now his gaze is fixed on what is behind Mary Margaret I want kids marriage true love I want it all but but that of course is she notices Dr Whale is not paying attention to her slowly she turns her head to see him ogling Ruby who has finished cleaning the table and carries a tray as she passes them

59:11 wildly inappropriate for me to discuss on a first date uh Ruby yes Mary Margaret check please later Mary Margaret walks down the street after her Disaster Date she stops and stares ahead noticing a familiar face Mary Margaret approaches the car and inside sits Emma reading the newspaper with a flashlight hey you okay oh in the in the world of tight spots I've been in crashing in my car doesn't even rank in the top 10 you're sleeping here till I find a place you decided to stay day for Henry yeah I guess this town doesn't seem to have any vacancies none actually is that normal Emma climbs out of her car it must be the curse why are you out so late well I'm a teacher not a nun I had a date oh from the looks of things it it went well as well as they ever do tell me at least he paid ew well I guess if true love was easy we'd all have it you know if things get cramped I do have a spare room thanks

1:00:38 uh I'm not really the roommate type it's just it's just not my thing I do better on my own well good night good luck with Henry yeah Mary Margaret walks away as Emma gazes after her the next day at the Town Hall Hospital the kids from Mary Margaret's class are around hanging decorations Mary Margaret notices Henry in the ICU unit at John Doe's bedside he reaches to touch the man's face when Mary Margaret walks in Henry we could really use your help with the decorations is Mr doe going to be okay miss blard his name's not John Doe honey that that's just what they call people when they don't know who they are do you know who he is nope I just bring him flowers on my rounds what's wrong with him I don't know he's been like this as long as I've been volunteering does he have any family or friends no one's claimed him so he's all alone yeah it's quite sad you sure you don't know him of course I'm sure come on you

1:01:54 shouldn't be in here they exit the ICU as Henry steals a glance back the camera focuses on John Do's face he Bears the same scar on his chin as Prince Charming that afternoon Emma and Henry are at the playground near the shore Henry shows Emma an illustration in his story book of Prince Charming with the visible scar on his face I found your father Prince Charming Henry he's in the hospital in a coma see the scar he has one too he points it out in the book so lots of people have scars in the same place don't you see what this means the curse is keeping them apart with the coma now they're stuck without each other we have to tell Miss ganard we found her prince charming okay kid telling someone their soulmate is in a com is probably not helpful not having a happy ending is painful enough but giving someone unrealistic hope is far worse but what if I'm right we know who they are now they have to

1:03:09 know and how do you intend to make this happen by reminding him we have to get her to read their story to John Doe then maybe he'll remember who he is she takes a deep breath to contemplate his plea okay okay yeah we'll do it but we'll do it my way let me ask her in her apartment Mary Margaret makes cocoa for herself and Emma you want me to read to a coma patient Henry thinks it will help him remember who he was oh and who does he think he was Prince Charming no oh and if if I'm Snow White he thinks he thinks me and him he has a very active imagination which is the point I can't talk him out of his beliefs so we need to show him play along do what he says and then maybe just maybe you'll see that fairy tales are just that that there's no such thing as love at first sight or first kiss he'll see reality something like that well sadly this plan is rather genius we get him to the truth without hurting

1:04:28 him I told him that we will all meet tomorrow for breakfast at Granny's and you will give a full report she passes Henry's book to Mary Margaret well I suppose I'll get ready for my date I guess I'll have to do all the Talking that night at the hospital Mary Margaret sits with John Doe in his room she opens Henry's story book look I know this is odd but I'm doing it for a friend so please just bear with me as the prince chased the thief on Horseback through the treacherous Forest his betrothed crossed her arms and pouted wondering how many Dreadful boring minutes it would take until they could resume their Journey again the thief vaulted over a fallen the scene transitions to show the passage of time they didn't need words to express what they felt in their hearts for it was here in the shadow of the troll bridge that their love was born where they knew no matter how they were separated they would always while

1:05:35 unconscious John Doe reaches out and grabs her hand a shocked Mary Margaret looks at him but he is not awakened moments later Dr Whale and Mary Margaret walked back into John Doe's room no I'm sure he's waking up he he grabbed my hand Dr Whale checks his machines everything's study the same it's always been what were you doing in here oh I was just reading him a story oh well perhaps you dozed off perhaps you imagined it no I didn't imagine anything Miss Blanchard I can only tell you what I see just nothing sometimes there are fluctuations and readings perhaps you heard the machine register something and misunderstood look why don't you go home get some rest if anything changes I'll call you okay Mary Margaret grabs a book and leaves Dr Whale pulls out his cell phone Regina answers yes it's a Dr well you told me to call you if there were ever any change in a John do Something's Happened

1:06:46 what one of our volunteers said he grabbed her and there was a slight fluctuation in brain activity and who was this Fallen here uh Mary Margaret Blanchard Furious Regina hangs up the phone in her apartment Mary Margaret sits on her bed flipping through the book the illustration of Snow White zooms into the Enchanted Forest the thief who previously stole Prince Charming's Jewels gathers various things and puts them into a bag also she puts a necklace with a bottle around around her neck she slings the bag over her shoulder and heads outside to walk a short distance before being caught in a net Prince Charming comes out of hiding laughing I told you I'd find you no matter what you do I will always find you is this the only way you can catch a Woman by entrapping her it's the only way to catch a thieving scum well aren't you a real Prince Charming I have't name you know I don't care Charming suits you now cut me down

1:30:39 two alone Miss Swan I let you off the hook back there don't press it I'm sorry but Mrs Nolan kind of feels like her story could be a load of crap all this time there's a John do lying in a coma and nobody puts it in the news nobody goes looking something's not right here well what else would make sense to you I mean why would miss Nolan lie do you think I cast a spell on her I think it's rather strange you've been his emergency contact all these years and you only found her now well this town is bigger than you know it's entirely possible to get lost here it's entirely possible for bad things to happen and just when it's convenient you managed to solve the mystery well thanks to you that tape you found was a stroke of Genius so we went back and looked at past tapes turns out Mr Doe's been talking in his sleep he's been calling out for Catherine after that it wasn't hard to put the pieces

1:31:49 together and here and here I thought you were Mary Margaret and you and Mary Margaret would be pleased true love one out so bask in the moment dear were it not for you two they would have lived their lives completely alone that's why I'm willing to forgive your incessant rudeness oh because all this has reminded me of something oh so very important how grateful I am to have Henry because not having someone well well that's just the worst curse imaginable the town Hospital Mary Margaret watches David and Catherine hug in his room she looks down at her hand and distractedly fiddles with her ring later Mary Margaret is sitting at home there's a knock on the door Emma sorry to bother you so late is is that spare room still available Mary Margaret nods and lets Emma in end of episode three Yay good job everybody lovely meting you all that was fun it's fun I I do really like the beginning um these beginning seasons are

1:33:11 so good yeah like I st I stopped watching it maybe like I don't even know like it just petered out like I was like it's gonna go somewhere really interest no it's not yeah they I um I think they they were like the ideas that they had I think Disney bought them out either season three or season 4 might have been earlier than that might have been Season Two Season 3 but it seemed like that all these interesting starts of these ideas and then they just dropped a bunch of them like Dr Whale being being a Dr Frankenstein I just think that's they're so interesting P me did you have something to say I thought I saw you raising your hand H thank you you wrote it too I was wondering if we're reading other episodes not of this script we'll be going on to a film next um which will be Willow Parts we'll do and then could we read other episodes of um once upon a time we could if I had other scripts I see this is the only script

1:34:13 that I have thank you good night yeah and then um I think we'll do Fargo after that for the television because that took second place in our pool so Willow and Faro next to up awesome I didn't even see the poll didn't even see it but uh I'm going to take a look at those those uh those scripts you sent me so I can tell you which one is like the best one to read because I know I know I know all of them there's some really good ones yeah you know one another thing about once upon a time is that this is I don't know if everybody knows this but this is one of those cute um situations where two leads fall in love and get married so literally Snow White and Prince Charming got married in real life so like if and they and they're still together yeah still together kids and super happy and adorable oh that's sweet first they're still together it was true love it really was yeah the whole point great

1:35:13 story so cute yeah it is it's very nice yeah I uh I really was really into the show I I did watch it all the way to the end and there it it's interesting because there's like some episodes in in the later Seasons that are really good and there's some were like oh my gosh sful it it like I don't want to like spoil it for anyone but there's like moments where I really don't like that I was just like that could have been so good where did you go with it and they brought somebody else in and I was like oh you're just continuing that plot line with this other character okay cool yeah well there was a lot of really dark like again it's been years since I've seen it but like I remember a lot of really dark stuff happening in the first two two seasons especially yeah like like isn't there like super dark stuff with Cinderella and like the laundromat that I'm remembering and like there's some of

1:36:02 that yeah there's there's some Bell's dark yep Little Red Riding darkness stuffing that episode was so good with her and then they just dropped her story I know I was like that was this was so good that's how I felt with that's how I felt with Dr Frankenstein like I was like this is such a good episode and then you just drop him he's he never it's like what what this could have gone somewhere it was so good and I you know I just looking what I was just reviewing it yesterday like looking back at IMDb and stuff like it's one of those situations where you know it started in 2011 and then you get this like real weird interesting trajectory of a lot of people who become really famous getting like bits in the show in early seasons and then it's like sometimes the story suffers because they get too big and they leave and so and you're not quite sure why that happens and then sometimes it's just like oh okay um Oscar nominee

1:37:03 Sebastian Stan was the Mad Hatter I didn't remember that right oh my gosh there's so many yeah there's so many moments um yeah like I I really liked Graham gr yeah they don't like doesn't Jamie just leaves and cuz I was trying to remember I was like somebody and you know and he's just gone like it's like they come on and it's like this like heat with like him and Emma and then like St and then like suddenly they bring on what's his face and though Hook is like one of my favorite characters too I okay yeah I that was around the time I stopped watching it sorry oh hook gets the hook hook actually makes the series again seriously he makes he he honestly like becomes such a driving force in the series and he's so like magnetic it's great like I actually really like what did with his character and everything and I I I I would say go back and give it a watch give him a chance um I love what they I do love what they do with

1:38:03 Peter Pan's story I thought that was really interesting um I don't want to give any spoilers obviously uh I don't remember that one at all I watched the whole thing but I don't remember that one you don't remember Peter Pan's story where they in Neverland and oh it's dark it's so dark maybe I blocked it out or that I was probably watching it while I was in Gra School my memory is like not real good like those couple years he he needs to get the heart of the True Believer and that's all I'm saying it gets start familiar yeah I I loved Regina like I I led her too I like she was 100% like like I say Emma's my favorite but really Regina was my favorite and I love like when they really went like for her just being like super literal like she was like tearing people's hearts out like well I love I love her um her Arc her Arc is really interesting also she's got some really interesting Parts like her

1:38:59 and Robin I love that whole thing for her that I oh my gosh there's this whole thing I mean it's tragic it's really sad there there's moments where I like that maybe I don't know anim M what do you think about that that whole thing with Robin I was I really liked Robin I was a big Robin fan he's like only a vague memory for me too oh it's so funny maybe the maybe the last I mean but there are W with the last episodes really were not that great though to be fair I don't know I don't remember him too like the W the West that was weird I went into the show as a big um Robert Carlile fan and so like At first I was like just in love but I felt like started doing that thing where it was like he was so good that they were like oh let's just have him do the same scene in every circumstance and just magically appear and be this looming thing he does chew the scenery a lot it's true yeah and uh and then I was

1:40:00 kind of disappointed with um when Belle came in and oh my God I hated I hated that so much I like see I have makes me so angry I was like no women should not stand for being treated like this this is an abusive relationship get yourself out I don't care that it's a fairy tale I have it supposed to be because he's so interesting and well I had such mixed feelings right I had such mixed feelings about that I agreed and then they have Gaston come in he just turns him into like a rose and I was like he actually seems like a really cool guy what happened and then of course they have this later episode with like reveals no really he's a bad guy he's truly a it's like wait a second that's not how so you're just trying to say oh no he's just he really was a bad guy all along it was so weird I had such weird feelings about that I was like and I didn't I wasn't watching it like because I know like Emma becomes like dark Emma

1:40:58 like I don't yeah there's a moment of dark Emma it's uh it's a thing okay dark Emma happens it get it's weird that's one of those that that's actually one of the seasons I really didn't care for it all like it did lose me the Authur Arthur story where Arthur really is a villain the whole time I I did not like that one it's interesting you guys talk about the lightness and the Darkness cuz I was just taking a look here at um some quotes from the writers Edward kitus and Adam Horwitz um they were also the same ones that worked on uh lost and Legacy um and they said that the whole purpose of this particular show was to do a show that had optimism at its heart because they felt there was so much darkness in the world and we are guys who like to see the world as half empty or half full and not half empty and it's all about seeing the trials and tribulations of life you can persevere and find light

1:41:51 amongst the darkness and your life will get get better so it's interesting to see as the show goes on that it tends to get darker movies that The Hold dark for the dawn I don't know if these same writers kept writing through all seven seasons or not but it certainly started off with the whole optimism bit at the beginning I mean that's it is that's true yeah it's always darkest before the dawn kind of thing I mean they have what I do love is that the a lot of the villains that they have they they really flush out them and be like well from this perspective they're not necessarily evil like reg is not completely yeah Regina being like the I love her I love her redemp I like I thought they did her Redemption story so well like she's probably one of the best villain Redemption stories I've ever seen and I feel like this this show was one of the first times that we it became a TR showing the villain side of the story

1:42:41 but this was like the first time that this was done and done well and I yeah yeah and I love that they actually showed her her Evolution her true love really is her son and it's funny because you seen this episode when when Emma asked yeah the true love Henry yeah I'm sorry if I spoil it for anybody I but it's been over for a while so go watch it watch been off for like nine years whatever yeah it's been off for nine years so if you haven't seen it by now I'm so sorry but go watch like 2011 to 2018 something like that yeah I can't believe it's yeah no but like I mean she's yeah like she really like it's interest when you get that was interest that's that I was thinking about exactly what you're saying Aubrey because when you know in um getting to see in that the bit in the the P at the end of the pilot where or no I guess it's the end of episode three first episod yeah and um and she and and she

1:43:40 says yes and the script specifies that Emma does not give away whether or not she's you know used her superpower to tell if she's lying or not and that was really because that's such like the biggest thing is that how her love for hemry changes everything about who she is in relationship to all these other people and then in turn like this storybook world and how they change without having somebody who having somebody who's complex instead of just evil be like responsible so I don't know it's it's really interesting it just kind of kind of like it's kind of like lost like it it it was almost great and then it just started getting weird way quicker well I mean as I said I think the first two episodes were just by uh NBC I think it's NBC or ABC I think it's ABC and then Disney bought it uh for because and then there was a really Stark change I think they had in hand in it but then they I think they

1:44:47 kind of took over production if I remember correctly cuz there was a drastic change like you really noticed everything got really disi after that after a certain point like they were kind of trying to lean more heavily into the older versions of the stories like um like more of the older version of for instance The Little Mermaid they had uh they had Dr Frankenstein it wasn't just fairy tale Cara it wasn't just like the Disney characters so um which is fascinating then you just saw that Stark change where was like oh no we're just going to go heavily heavily into Disney only Disney stuff you know it was really weird uh I mean they did beer away from it a little bit but it wasn't that much but yeah but hook hook makes everything better honestly that's been a theme in in a number of the scripts that we've read recently like in um oh shoot never- Ending Story right like that's how they defeated you know the or oh it was you

1:45:49 Aubrey who was playing the gamor and it was like it like you have to the only way to win for evil to win is to destroy hope like that's like that's the um and in this one too it's very much that like that that same theme is still very much um present in this one as well that's why no one no one what what Regina did with the curse is she wanted everyone to have a bad ending uh like she did like she felt like she did so really really what she wanted them all just not to have hope or happy or like you know they still live but nothing good happens to them like in the sense they don't get like true love they don't get they feel empty and hopeless because that's how she felt so it's really fascinating well I you know I hope by us doing readings like this and The Never Ending Story and and other ones that that do put hope out there I hope those of you who do watch us that it it kind of plants that seed in your

1:46:50 lives yeah I hope so that's why we do it we love to give hope enjoy others have any of you guys seen the spin-off series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland which kind of went ah oh wait I did start seeing it to 2014 based on of course um Louis Carol's Alice's ventures in Wonderland I did it was very weird Alice in Wonderland yeah I didn't go past one season it says it only had 13 episodes oh wow it really did not take off yeah I didn't remember that at all remember back in the day when a season was 13 episodes remember back in the day when a season was 26 my goodness man yeah 22 20 22 or more 26 yeah yeah those are the best where you can actually have like character development over a long period of time yeah I I it was so I'm a big trucky as everyone knows I'm sure and when I first watched Discovery I was so thrown off by the pacing of Discovery because I was so used to having these you know no

1:48:05 spoilers I haven't had a chance to see it yet I'm not g see I'm not GNA tell you anything but they the only thing I'm going to say is that I think the the format for for Star Trek really got lost because they didn't have a time they didn't have time to flesh the character like a lot of the characters the carry story lines really out that everything was so fastpaced I was just like oh what's happening oh wait this is happening wait what oh my gosh this is weird like it was I'm like this happened way too fast and and what happens when things happen way too fast you don't feel anything like when the when things happened like in Deep Space 9 for instance you felt them because you grew with those characters you learned about them when things happened in voyagers the same thing you learned about these characters they idios synchronicities and when they get lost you feel that if that makes sense that's

1:48:54 why I'm a big that's one the reason why I'm a big try fan is it's just cuz like you really get to know these characters even to like you get to know even though the the the episodes are self-contained you stay with these characters you get to understand their their reasonings their their the why they do things and that makes it in itself a Canon serialized story because even though the episodes might be self-contained these characters are acting within the cannon of that that story things that that happen and get get referenced again and so it's over time you really get to see these characters change and grow and not so much as in TOS or next Generation necessarily I was of back on the to think I I I have been um having to uh rewatch all of to for um fortunately someone is paying me um to to work to do some stuff about that and um there's there's a not much with the character development especially there's not but

1:49:55 there's there's some there's some like you can see espe from the early to the middle you can see it yeah yeah I mean yeah but I'm I'm rewatching it with my friend I have all three seasons uh there again there is some but it's it's it's interesting how these self-contained you know episodes are they're kind of in this little vacuum of a bottle and it's like oh you got a reset button but you do see some is some character development but what I would what I would say is I mean you know you're kind of especially in the and when you get to the movies you definitely see it for for T in particular yeah when when bringing it back to when like more modern stuff like I we we really like Boy TV is so much better now yes I say that in a long way what's expected of actors and what's expect of acting and what's expected of the quality of the scripts it is is very different um and you know the but you know something like once upon a

1:51:05 time like you get a lot of there's see I think that sometimes a like too long of too much it can fall apart under the weight of like needing to come up with that much material like if you don't have really strong think or maybe having too much space and like throwing too much in and I think like that also is what we see and once upon and then I agree with you about Discovery like I couldn't have cared less about like anybody any like and there's like in Discovery it's like these very good actors and there's so much happening and they're like super intense and I'm like we haven't earned it like we don't care like it's so yeah I don't know I don't know they I feel like they finally found their place within season two and they also like was Strange New World Strange New World world fantastic it's so good anybody anybody anybody watch it it works and mount is freaking perfect yeah it works it works you know some of it is that

1:52:05 we've got a little bit of a shorthand there because it's pulling on so many it's filling in these interesting gaps from characters so oh yeah I I'm I'll take that with the grain of Sal yeah of course but also strangely where that's a short that's a that's a short episode run like what is it 10 like 10 episodes but they they somehow made it work in the I'm just saying I think they found the pacing style yeah which I wish there was more I would I would like more anyways I would always like I would like that regular format where we had those long episodes but it still works like it it as it is now it's still working it does have a really weird fast-pace style what lesie was saying about having um the you know being able to relate your to your characters and things like um this particular one we just readed obviously with having fairy tale characters that we have all very familiar with you know that you don't

1:52:59 need a whole lot of back story necessarily you know who the Evil Queen's like and what Snow White's like and Charming's like and then you get this little twist on them like you have Charming is dating someone you know um named Abigail and and you know that does not happen in any fairy tale um and it's was quite interesting to see you know how much we have um invested as children reading these stories and you know growing up in adulthood how much of that carries forward um I was taking a look at the ratings and it said that this one um this particular first season of Once Upon a Time was essentially the highest uh tele got got the highest um amount of viewerships and ratings for any like drama in that Seas it was the highest rated drama debut um and it's most popular range was with um people ages essentially 18 to 48 so you're looking at gen you know the latter part of Gen X down to um you know a few Generations

1:54:02 that followed so I found that quite interesting and when you go to like the DVR that that jumps even higher so it went from like a 4.0 rating to like a five point rating that same age range so uh consistent ratings every week and essentially um the it was a non the highest non-sports program I should say with you viewers on Sunday nights so yeah well there's kind of I think this immediate connection because you know you're already invested in it you already know like you you've already filled in half of the story and then you're there to see where it's going with these ideas so that's I it I think the reason why is it took a risk and it was like here are all these characters that you know but we're subverting some of them we we're in fact we're subverting them all in a way like Rumple stilin isn't just you know this Little Gnome that you go and find or that this queen finds you know to make or the

1:54:58 Miller does to make strong gold here's actually Rumple here's Rumple silt skin but yes he also this guy named gold and what is he doing and what's his story what's that and it's like it's really interesting how they take even these smaller villain characters and they make them big and they make them like they subvert a lot of them and I think that's what it is it's like but that was that is a risk taking a lot of these characters and being like here here's some things you may not know here some of these things like and like if they're taking out their element who did they become and it's like I always wonder if a 2025 show like this would get or push back about things not being right or correct or true like there's more of a I don't know there's more discourse over the way things should be amongst people than maybe 15 years ago so I don't know I'm just be interesting speculating all right I got to get going guys um

1:55:55 this has been fantastic I really enjoy this I'm going to look I'm so looking forward to Willow get out make sure if you want part and will us on it for both halves if you want to read both halves there are two separate event pages on our Facebook page so I put going for both of them um yeah okay because I looked earlier I had folks signed up on one but not both so yeah I only seen the F the second half and then I I saw it while we were getting ready to go to do this rating I found it so thank you for having me back it's been a while always able to do weekend weekday nights but also I love your commitment to the role I saw everything you were doing it was fantastic a and you guys are always so good everyone is always so much fun night bye guys all right we'll see you good night everybody bye bye bye YouTube YouTube and all right have fun storming the castle you all you think it'll work it'll take a miracle byebye byebye it'll

1:57:02 take a miracle
