ONCE is famous for chopping up and reassembling fairytales so that the level of character cross over is akin to a complex game of fairytale story Tetris. In this episode it was Ursula’s turn, enlightening us with a story of mermaids, pirates, sea kings and stolen voices. In Storybrooke the kidnapping interrogation took a turn for the worse as a certain wooden puppet told more lies than his nose could handle… by Julia Lawson Neighbours. Everybody needs good NEIGHBOURS! Thanks to Channel 5, many of us over in the UK are very familiar with the catchy, sunny soap which glorifies life the Australian suburbs. It is amazing to think that the show has reached its 30th Anniversary and the number of storylines covered in that time. by Julia Lawson Once again, ONCE put a new spin on a classic this week, delving further into Maleficent’s history, reintroducing Aurora and several cases of finger pricking, but also Regina’s early days of villainy. In the Storybrooke present, villainous plans were beginning to be revealed one card and kidnapping at a time… by Julia Lawson ONCE season four part two seems to be gathering momentum. Slowly but surely it is being to weave its new ‘villains’ storyline into Storybrooke’s day-to-day lifestyle. Maleficent joins the proceedings, with a reimagined backstory putting Snow and Charming in the shadows, while Regina’s quest for redemption includes a little wooden puppet, sorry, real boy. by Julia Lawson Well here we are again, letting out a big post-ONCE exhale. The mid-season premiere gave us a refreshing twist – there was no actual curse ruining everyone’s lives signaling a reset of the board. However there was smoke, a new band of villains and a whole load of intrigue, leaving us with even more questions than in December! by Julia Lawson Folks we have survived the wait! Pats on the back all round. The time has come to return to Storybrooke, our favourite fairytale town in Maine, following the happy conclusion to the wintery tension introduced by two snow queens. But let’s first remind ourselves of the most recent goings-on… by The I'm With Geek TV Team Another year has come and gone, and with it some fantastic TV series. Join the IWG TV Team as they pick their favourites of the past 365 days! by the I'm With Geek TV Team 'Tis the season to sit down in front of your TV and fill your eyeballs with as much saccharine sweetness physically possible. We here at the I'm With Geek TV Towers put all of our favourite Christmas specials into a hat and picked one at random to watch and comment upon. Click on to find out who was filled with Christmas cheer and who found naught but coal! by Julia Lawson Curses. Raising all sorts of magical drama in little towns filled with fairytale characters relating to personal relationships, heart ripping and ominous weather formations since ONCE’s debut four seasons ago. After yet another curse related build up we find ourselves stuck in a bit of rut: no Frozen themed wedding, no Rumplestiltskin led revolution and no abundance of ice queen sundaes for everyone. But there is always more to ONCE than ice cream. by Julia Lawson Well that was intense! The penultimate episode to the Frozen story arc began to draw in all the loose ends, reuniting Anna and Elsa, seeing Rumplestiltskin return to his manipulative ways, and learning that pirates are better than wizards as the spell of shattered sight curse clouds move towards the town. Oh and we got a sneak preview into Frozen 2… sort of. |
