You're listening to Once, Episode 12,, the podcast about ABC's TV show Once Upon a Time.

I'm Daniel J. Lewis.

I'm Jeremy Loughlin. I'm Dan Flynn.

And we are four friends who are liking this TV show once upon a time. And I said liking

specifically because I don't want to speak for all of us and say loving since one of us, Dan.

Yeah, you're glaring at me right now. You didn't like this episode very much. Evil I. I mean, I liked some of the outcomes and stuff like that. I was disappointed once again with the way the script was written, some of the corny lines, and I don't know. Sometimes I feel like it's a kid show, you know, for kids too, and sometimes it's feel like it's for adults only. Well, you're right. Yes. On both. It is intended to be a family

show. That's why it's Sunday nights, and that's why it's on ABC. It's not quite like on ABC family,

but it is, it's intended to be partially family friendly too and for families

to watch together. It's not like lost. It was. This is a completely separate show.

Although it has its moments of not so family friendliness, but for the most part.

But I just wish some of the scripting and the words and the yeah the characters are great acting on silly corny

words but because i wish the script is more thorough yeah they do i mean they do have some

honestly and this is a sad commentary on tv today but they have better dialogue than much of the

rest of what's on tv just not quite the quality of most of the things that i tend to like that i don't watch much of the rest of the's on TV, just not quite the quality of most of the things that I tend to like.

So I don't watch much of the rest of the things that are on TV.

But the dialogue, though it has its weaknesses,

also has its strengths to me

and the rest of the show makes up for it,

speaking personally.

But I hope they pick it up a little.

Jenny, what did you think of this episode?

I was really surprised by Cindy Glass being the genie. I mean, you know what? I was really disappointed in Regina. I thought we were going to get to see the real Regina before she turned evil.
