Online Watch Once Upon a Time Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Meanwhile, in the fairytale land that was, as her wedding day to King Leopold approaches, Regina is confronted by a man of magic who promises to help her become independent and break free from her mother Cora's clutches.From the inventive minds of Lost executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis comes a bold new imagining of the world, where fairy tales and the modern-day are about to collide. And they all lived happily ever after - or so everyone was led to believe. Emma Swan knows how to take care of herself. She's a 28-year-old bail bonds collector who's been on her own ever since she was abandoned as a baby. But when the son she gave up years ago finds her, everything starts to change.
Henry is now 10 years old and in desperate need of Emma's help. He believes that Emma actually comes from an alternate world and is Snow White and Prince Charming's missing daughter. According to his book of fairytales, they sent her away to protect her from the Evil Queen's curse, which trapped the fairytale world forever, frozen in time, and brought them into our modern world.
Of course Emma doesn't believe a word, but when she brings Henry back to Storybrooke, she finds herself drawn to this unusual boy and his strange New England town. Concerned for Henry, she decides to stay for a while, but she soon suspects that Storybrooke is more than it seems.
It's a place where magic has been forgotten, but is still powerfully close... where fairytale characters are alive, even though they don't remember who they once were. Emma will have to accept her destiny and fight for everything that once was.
Accompanying them is Prince Philip (Julian Morris), one of the few Disney princes to be granted a first name back in Walt’s day. It’s he who slays the wraith when it bursts into the fairy tale world and he who is subsequently marked for death.
This is unfortunate, since not much energy is put into fleshing his character out more – but this is also Once Upon A Time, written by the creators of Lost, so he may live on in flashbacks as the season progresses.
The Mulan/Aurora pairing is slightly drab and two-dimensional until the final moments of the episode. The soulless, lifeless, Philip is laying on his bier, mourned by the two women who love him when Mulan decides Aurora deserves the medallion containing Philip’s soul, along with a few other tidbits she and the late prince neglected to pass along.
While Aurora believes she has been asleep for a less than a year, in fact it has been twenty-eight years. Mulan explains the curse Regina (Lana Parrilla) cast has affected all the land save their small corner of it. No one is sure why this is, but they are aware that they’ve spent the last twenty-eight years in stasis and have only recently been freed.
The land that did survive, however, is rife with danger and Mulan urges Aurora to come with her to their last remaining safe haven.
When Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) is alone on her birthday she is visited by her son whom she gave up 10 years ago for adoption. While on their way to 'Stroybrooke' the boy tries to convince her that all the residents of the town are fairytale characters and they are not aware of it. This is the core and modern day setting of the story.
The second half of the story runs in flashbacks this the part which you can assume to the be the authentic setting of show white.
So, basically there are two settings which are in different parts of time.
The storyline is good, Jared Gilmore shows some really good acting for his age, other actors have also done a nice job. the cinematography is decent (haven't seen any extraordinary shots or camera angles till now) the sound effects are really great.
If you are looking something as exciting, complex and hardcore as Lost you will be disappointed, come on it's a fairytale but it certainly is enchanting, warm and gripping.
Now the criticisms,
The cast is good but not brilliant. The shift between the two time lines is a little bit awkward sometimes.
