Every time I see that picture, I imagine the horse taking a shit on the Beetle.

Emma doesn't even look like she's in the beetle. Its like the took a photo of her and pasted it to the passenger side window. It also looks like she is about to run into the horse. So if the photo was 2 seconds later, the horse would be on top of the hood & roof. Prince Charming would be in mid-air clearing the car.

Another Star Wars reference. Of course it was 1983 so it makes sense a kid would be into it that year.

Screw Star Wars! I loved seeing an Encom logo in this episode!

And seeing Ruby in shorts.

Cool storyline with the guy and his son getting caught as the curse settled. I'm assuming the father is still alive in some form in Regina's bag of tricks. If she was so taken with the idea of being a mother, then why did she wait more than 15 years to adopt Henry?

I guess there were no orphans in Storybrook she could adopt. Henry is what 9, 10? So he wasn't even born when Storybrook got created. If it is 2013 in OUAT, then she couldn't even adopt him until 20 after the town was created. That is one of the stories they haven't covered. How Henry got brought to Storybrook & how did Regina know about him. She'd have to find out about Emma keep tabs on her. She also had no way of knowing Emma would put him up for adoption.

So she was fine with ground hogging for 20 years? I'm a little unsure how the mechanic works. Nothing changes day to day?How could progress have been made on the car in the first place? Since Henry is from the outside only he and Regina could experience the passage of time? Seems like it doesn't make much sense.

Yes, the Encom bench was classic! I saw that and you couldn't wipe the smile off my face.

It wasn't exactly ground hogging, at least I don't think. More like small town monotony.

Although I did think she was repeating the same day at first.

Yeah, not exactly Groundhogging. There were slight changes everyday like Ruby's clothes were always different.

I believe it was Mr Gold who found Henry for Regina. They talk about that deal in the second episode of season one. How he got contacts in the outside world is the real question for me. At least I think he'd need someone outside of town to track down the baby called Emma that was discovered on the side of a nearby highway.

An Alice in Wonderland spinoff is being developed. Jane Espenson and Zack Estrin, who work on Once Upon a Time are involved. They are writing it right now and shooting a Pilot next month.

I hated her work in Torchwood. That's all I'm familiar with when it comes to her.
