    This season, with flatly played new characters introduced in the world of fantasy, I found myself itching to get back to Storybrooke, although the way the lands eventually intersect makes for a nifty cliffhanger.

  1. The first episode starts with big changes in the storyline, unexpected twists and new characters. After a few episodes, I found myself enjoying this second season like a kid. Collapse
  2. The show is very fun this season but mainly due to the fact that it has flown totally off the rails. This season has had some of the worst acting and writing I've ever seen but the actors are giving it everything they've got which makes it even funnier. The star wars references are funny and I never through I would see an implied lesbian couple fist each other on a Disney show but it happened... it was with a heart but I got the sub text. Again, is anyone sick of everything looking like BC? Expand
