The wife had seen some commercials for it, so I DVR'd it. A little strange, to say the least. I may give it another week or two but if it doesn't get better I see it being cancelled.

I just got into watching Once upon a time over the summer and really liked it, but this spinoff doesn't have near as good of a cast. One of my biggest concerns is the love story angle they are pushing in the previews. As someone who's wife forced them to the twilight movies (just the first 2, I had to put my foot down after that. Indulgence only goes so far), I can tell you that the only thing worse than a bad love story is a bad love story with bad acting. The fact that even my wife isn't tempted to give this show a try tells me everything I need to know.

Right now I'm on the hook for 6 shows and when Covert Affairs comes back thats 7. I have a hard enough time finding the the time in the week to watch the shows I am already watching. I'll pay attention to the reviews. If it does better than I expect it to I'll catch it online. However I fully expect it to last a season or 2 at best

I wasn't that impressed. I'll give it at least one more watch before writing it off.

Looks to be bad, but will watch next week to see where they are going to go with it.

Same situation here and it just didn't look appealing enough to me to squeeze in.

I'm going to hate this one on general principles.

Just seems like an easy cancellation.

Yeah it doesn't seem like it will last. I do like that it is not just Alice in wonderland and has a real world element to it. At least the first one did. I thought the special effects would be better.

Yeah, that is Naveen Andrews (Sayid) (Sp?) from Lost. I think some of the producers/directors of Lost are involved in this. The wife saw that Naveen Andrews was in it and heard something about it being from some of the Lost folks and wanted to give it a try.

All that being said, the evil queen is
