Judy Garland being a fangirl in Broadway Melody of 1938 (1937)
First Act Problems
“I wish Once Upon a Time was produced on HBO.
It’s ultimately a True Blood/Game of Thrones hybrid that’s being marketed as family programming but let’s be honest - you can dress it however you like but it’s anything BUT family television at it’s very core:
- Love
- Rape
- murder
- Stalking
- Kidnapping
- Torture
- Class inequity
- Power struggles
- Self-loathing
- Bondage gear ;)In the era of The Brothers Grimm (well, in all eras when we tell stories), fairytales were cautionary stories devised to teach (and trick) children into being careful and cautious, to obey their parents and to be good. They were meant to be horrific versions of every day, they were meant to scare us - think of how terrifying the story of The Piped Piper or Hansel & Gretel is if you’ve never seen a scary movie or show.
It could be a truly modern version of a fairytale if it was allowed to be a true version of the show, if it stopped hiding or diluting the premise. It could teach us so much about ourselves as a society and as a people. It could teach us about love, redemption, trust as well all the ‘bad’ things listed above… If it wasn’t hindered by the ‘family viewing’ label.

If I can’t have Swan Queen be a legitimate, canonic couple, I want them to become America’s equivalent of Luther & Alice.
I can totally see Emma as Luther, always struggling to do right and protect others within the law and Regina as Alice, the brilliant, murderous psychopath who will stop at nothing to protect Emma/Luther and preserve their shred of innocence by working outside of the laws of right/wrong and moral conventions.
