O is for… Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time is a current series I am watching, at this very moment I have the second episode of season 2 on.
In the pilot a 28 year old woman – Emma Swan – is celebrating her birthday when she receives a surprise package – Henry, the 10 year old son she gave up for adoption. He shows her a fairytale book, says everything in it is real and that she is in it as the heroine. The modern day town he lives in is under a curse (her adopted mother is behind it), time stands still and all the characters we know and love don’t have a clue who they are.
Emma takes him back to Storybrooke and gets drawn in to Henry’s stories – is she destined to save everyone?
I love how this show combines the modern day stories with the fairytale ones and am interested to see the direction the show takes this year.

I’ve seen previews for the show, but I’ve never actually watched an episode. I hadn’t realized that it combined modern day and fairytale worlds–will have to give it a shot.
Yes, I think the combination is the strength of the show for certain. Let me know what you think.
