Literally just finished watching tonight's new episode of Once Upon a Time (or as I have affectionately dubbed it "OUT.") I'm a little late to the finish line because my grandparents are staying over (I've been kicked out of my comfy bed and into the cold, uncomfortable basement) and my grandpa, despite not following either of the teams, had to watch the Steelers/Broncos game. Now, don't get me wrong, people are allowed to watch sports; I'm just not a fan. Anyhow, game went into overtime and I just have to be pleased as punch that my dad has a dual tuner DVR because I didn't miss a moment of my precious fix and had the added bonus of no commercials. Of course, there were the 10 minutes where I was rewatching "The Price of Gold" (aka the Cinderella episode) due to a misclick on my dad's part. But all was saved.
My thoughts on this most recent episode (SPOILERS):
-THRILLED to see some Rumple backstory. Backstory of villains I often find the most compelling - how did they get to be the person they are? Were they always evil? So seeing that Rumple was himself tricked and in it because he wanted to save his son from going to war - well that was epic.
-Also glad to see Emma make sheriff - and how Rumple even manipulated her when she thought she was free of him.
-The continued faces from the Queen - especially her "cat got into the cream" face when you know that things have not turned out how she thinks they did. Also her "you're dead to me" face is pretty fabulous.
-Loved Mr. Glass - Who else would the man in the mirror on the wall end up being but a news reporter? You love what he has to say until he says something you think is wrong. And supposedly "honor bound" to tell the truth... but I digress into a non-necessary tangent here
-I love Red's hair. Like, love it. And her makeup. The stylists and makeup artists on this show ought to win an award because it's just stupendous work every week.
-The previews for next week! Hansel and Gretel? Another witch? Count me in!
She may be an unconventional hero, but like Henry, and probably the rest of the world, I'm rooting for Miss Emma Swan.
Oh and that moment between Snow and Charming? Loved it. And I miss the old sheriff. I can't wait until more cracks start showing in that spell of Madame Mayor's. :D
Until next Once Upon a Time (or my next True Blood Post), toodles!

True Blood
It's that dreaded time of year: the mid-season hiatus. Which means I haven't had an OUT fix in ages. So not okay. The good this is Vampire Diaries returns tomorrow and I'll be watching it on my parents' 60" TV. In the mean time, having lots of free time (winter break, wooh!) and pretty much nothing to do (I do have to write a paragraph for my bossies in Aussieland this past summer, but I'm failing miserably at that) I've turned to books (8 of them, 1 down, 6.75 to go) and, of course, my go to, some good ol' fashioned television.
What's on my watch list?
- I finished the Australian teeniebopper show H2O: Just Add Water. I have to say, the third season definitely suffered from ducking out casts, plot holes, and a general sense of urgency. I will say that it had plenty of mermies and pretty girls to look at though. Overall, worth the watch, especially since it's on Hulu now, but only if you want to learn the accent and you really love mermies. Which both applied to me.
- I'm currently in the third season of True Blood. After ages of seeing the commercial for it for Christmas time, finding out Sookie is a faerie from that (although I still don't know it from the show yet), and the fortuitous discovery that my dad has HBO GO, meaning I can watch it legally, I've been on a major vampire binge.
I have to say the plots are superb, the color palette is gorgeous, and despite its graphic nature (both sexual and gory-wise) I just can't stop watching. Vampires, shifters, mindreaders, demons, and werewolves, oh my! All they need is an Australian mermaid, and it'll be perfect. My favorite characters so far are Sookie (of course), Godric (can he come back please?), Jessica (I think it's because I like the hair so much), and Eric (because I just can't figure him out, and I like that he fucks with everyone else's minds).
You can expect more commentary from me in the future, as I have very few friends that share the show with me.
Toodles!
