    I honestly feel like that the side-stories added much for the worldbuilding in season 1 and really added to that 'crossover' vibe. Cinderella, Hansel & Gretel, Jiminy Cricket. It was fun seeing all those stories mixed and mashed together. It annoyed me in later seasons when each half season would be themed after a specific tale (Frozen, Camelot, Aladdin etc)

    I feel like the arcs added more plot-wise and sometimes character dynamic-wise, but many just felt bloated and underdeveloped their characters. It meant we didn’t have as solid a cast as we did during the first two seasons, when we reliably saw the same faces.

    I dont think that episodes that focused on "non-important" side characters were a waist of time. They didnt further the plot, but they helped with the world building, which is just as important as the plotline imo. Those stories thouaght us so many things about this world: differnt princes of different fariytales came from different kingdoms, Rumpule made deals with people all across those kingdoms, we learn of how faries are assinged as gardians for different people, we learn that faries have their own lifes and conflicts and they wanted love too, we learn that dwarves arent just "the 7 dwarves", there is a whole sociaty of them and they work in a symbiotic relationship with faries. This information might not further the plot, but it flashs out the world, it makes us care about that world. I actually love the double identiy aspect of many of the chacaters, it makes the world feel very interconected.

    you are growing so confident and i love listening to the way you eloquently but still humorously tackle media. i think i saw a community post about comparisons to mike’s mic and i just want to say, while i love his style, that yours has grown into its own thing and it’s great. you have very clear investment in the stories you’re analyzing and you take them seriously in a way that still feels lighthearted. but it is clear that you think very hard about these pieces of media and that it’s not entirely just a comedy thing anymore. if you are inching in the direction of “video essay,” instead of “recap” (although those terms are relative and can coexist), i am totally along for the ride. regardless of direction, i think you have the intelligence, public speaking skills, unique charisma, passion, and media literacy to only keep improving.

    I had much the same with a friend of mine talking about it with some other friends, which meant I got info-dumped 50% of season 1 and a decent chunk of season 2. Then I had the scenario you described to introduce my sister to the show. She didn’t keep up long term, but did finish season 3 after a while and wanted to know what I thought of every season after.

    I think The Cinderella and Jiminny episodes serve many purposes. They demonstrate that Regina is slowly losing the power and control that she desperately clings onto and that Emma is symbolically or literally weakening the curse by being present. The Cinderella one also introduces the relationship between Emma and Mr. Gold, and develops the moral and heroic side of Emma.

    1:52:56 In hindsight it would have been interesting if Regina was the one that told Henry she loved him and broke the curse that she herself cast. Emma convinced Regina that she really did love her son. That way, Henry's concern for Regina would have made more sense since Henry seemed to hate Regina in S1, and then cared about her in S2.

    As a kid I thought Prince Charming and the various iterations of The Prince (who I all called Prince Charming since I didn't know the charming one was specific to Cinderella, literally TIL) were just the same guy with different hair color from one particular Disney movie to the next, not the same-same guy with memories and anything but more like some poor (but a little bit boring) dude trapped in some multiverse thing (though I obviously didn't put it in those words then). Like the Disney universe was American Horror Story if they just kept Evan Peters in the same exact role throughout all the seasons and only changed the rest of the cast and setting, and no matter how different the setting is, that dude just keeps showing up.

    I think many people don't understand about these shows that is not really about what's happening externally but internally to the characters. Some situations may seem a stretch but when you look at the character where they start and how that weird situation was key for a certain development it absolutely makes sense. The focus on these shows is different The flashbacks function as real life does. In every event you are living in present time there's a situation in your past that shapes the way you are, feel and going to do in the present

    What i love about you doing this series now is I had the same experience with it as The 100. Watched first couple of seasons, stopped on some big cliffhangar or reveal (The 100 was when the nuke went off and they went to a new planet. Once upon a time was when Peter Pan was introduced) So i appreciate these videos giving me an abridged look at series i abandoned lol

    Great analysis! I love your work dating all of the episodes in comparison to each other too, it was a great way to visualize the events of the season! (You also put the correct timeline for Gold and Bae, who aren't 300 years old as I've seen some people say). Excellent video 😊

    Oh i know, Gold and Bae date is so controversial for some reason. like if Bae landed in 1800s London how was he born in the early 1700s?? it bothers me too. lol

    I'm glad to see you agree. I mean--it is quite clearly Victorian London, putting Bae around 160 and Rumple around 190-200. It's a strange bit of misinformation.

    CAIN. This was AMAZING. You are AMAZING at recapping series. The way you tackle the multiple storylines and always recap it in the way that makes the most sense and flows the nicest for a viewer to follow, regardless of whether it's chronological or how the show reveals the story, is SO good, especially when spliced with your own personal thoughts and extra tidbits of how it was perceived when first airing. It really feels like a full documentary going into every possible detail of the shows existence and I don't think I've ever seen any other recap channel or reaction channel do as much of a thorough and enjoyable job as you do. And holy crap. I always believed I would enjoy OUAT, and so I was really excited for you to do it on your channel bc I thought I probably would never actually watch it myself or be interested enough to do so. But you've ABSOLUTELY convinced me. Once we got to episode 8 and onward and really unpacked Rumpelstiltskin's story, I was hooked. I am so in love with this man and I only know what this video relays about him lmao. I wanna watch it SO bad now and I'm SO excited for you to do the coming seasons!!!! Thank you so so much for making this amazing content for us, I know you really had a horrible time trying to upload it, but it was worth it, and I really hope you're able to continue and do the entire series bc I will be here for EVERY single video!!!! I'm going to go rewatch your breakdown of the musical now lmao
