Season 1
Summary:
Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, writers of Lost, have created a modern take on fairy tales with a female lead character, Emma swan, who has moved to Maine. The show revolves around the adaptation of fairytale characters such as Snow White and Prince Charming who have been brought into the real world with no knowledge of their true identities, due to the Evil Queen, who cast an evil spell on the entire land.
*Note* This "After It Airs" is a little different than all the rest because it is the first for Once Upon a Time, but the season finale airs this Sunday. Every week after the show aired I wanted to do a post about the episode, but I could never find the time to make up for all the episodes. So I decided this first post would be a little different, and then next week for the season finale, I will do the posts as usual (then continue them on through next season since it was renewed for a second season!).
