Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz (Lost, Tron) invite you to a bold new vision of the world where fairytales and the modern day are about to collide.
Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) 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 will change. Henry (Jared Gilmore) is 10 years old now and in desperate need of Emma's help. Henry believes that Emma actually comes from an alternate world ... and is Prince Charming (Josh Dallas) and Snow White's (Ginnifer Goodwin) missing daughter. According to his book of fairytales, they sent her away to protect her from the Evil Queen's (Lana Parrilla) curse, which trapped the fairytale world forever, frozen in time. 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 – including the Evil Queen who is now Henry's foster mother. The epic battle for the future of all worlds is beginning, but for good to win, Emma will have to accept her destiny and fight like hell.
Brace yourself for a modern fable with thrilling twists and hints of darkness. Brimming with wonder, and filled with the magic of our most beloved fairytales, Once Upon A Time is a fitting follow up to Lost from two master storytellers.

I kinda dislike the switching from one story to another.
It still is a very good show, but i would like to see both in 1 ep.
Season 2 is very promising so far!
back october 23 :D
Why Mr. Gold :(
Addictive
Once upon a DROP.
Plot is progressing way too slow. Nothing happens.
Incredibly boring, childish and bad performed ...
They started very nice, hopefully they can keep it up.
Much, much better than expected.
Just watched the first episode. Unvelievable well made, didnt expect it to be that good
Based on the trailer it looked kinda silly, but the first episode was really good! Looks like it will be a fun and interesting watch.
After I saw the trailer a few month ago, I though: A fairy tale - that's nothing for me.
But man - this is incredibly well produced!!!
It is exciting, very fun to watch and for a pilot probably the most promising I have seen since a long time.
Also it has a lot in common with LOST (^_^)
Can't wait to see more.
It was so much better than I ever expected.
Why would anyone *want* to go back to that horrible, campy fairy-tale-land?!
Seems interesting cant wait xD
