The Thought That Started It All

Once Upon A Time.... Precious words that have turned dark, but have not lost all hope.

ABC has taken the stories of the Grimm Brother's and have turned them into an intricate plot in their brand new TV series called Once Upon A Time. From the beginning I have been entranced by the writing, the story, the back story, and the ability to mash Fairy Tale time with Real World time. The amazing casting, the beautiful effects and scenery, and the gorgeous wardrobes have not only enhanced the series, but have made them more real than anyone could imagine. You feel as if you are right there beside the characters, like you are having what's been done to them be done to you. These feelings captivate you and make you fall in love with the series and it's characters even more with each passing episode.

I have been in love with these tales since I was little, and have been too impressed for words with the amazing story that Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz have created for this series. My only problem is, how do you keep track of all of the characters, their back stories, and now their real world stories, and how do you remember those characters that you never see again once introduced? I have been re-watching Season 1 and I have to say, there are so many characters that you never see again, yet you continue to wonder their story!

This is my mission for this blog: to create a post for each character as they are introduced and update them as new information comes to light. Each post will be titled with the character's Fairy Tale name as well as their Real World name. I believe that writing this blog will help me to keep track of these characters, their stories, and what we keep finding out about them through flashbacks in later episodes. Personally, because everything is not in chronological order, but tends to skip and jump around, I find it hard to keep track of what happened when! This will be my second mission for the blog. To keep rewriting their information until it's all in chronological order, the updates and additions from each episode being chronologically kept track of at the bottom of each post. My third and final mission for this blog is to talk and discuss about each episode, as well as have posts dedicated to questions and answers from the comments of my blog.

I hope that you all will find this blog useful in helping figure out these characters that keep showing up in Storybrooke, and I hope that you will all comment and discuss the series and these characters as you read and follow their stories with me!

I look forward to hearing from each and every one of you, my fellow Oncers!
