"Once Upon a Time": post-Lost era

In 2004, ABC launched a series, for seven consecutive years occupied the Sun file TV ratings winner of the throne, which is the famous "Desperate Housewives." This year is the play of the final quarter, ABC needs a new episode this Sunday to maintain dominance in the ratings, so there was Once Upon a Time, and the play is very disappointing indeed, the current ratings has exceeded the "Desperate Housewives "prospects for the future.

"Once Upon a Time Season 2 DVD" is not a mere fairy tale, but a very complex set of fantasy drama. There are two space-time play, a fairy tale is a fairy tale characters living space, another time after being cursed temporal reality of stagnation, that is fairy tale town, two space characters in the correspondence, but the reality is people have forgotten derivative own identity fairy tale characters, and master their fate is a fairy tale town mayor, the corresponding identity is black witch fairy tale, but also those of all this spell. Break it all lies a birth in a son to be adopted under the guidance of Emma who broke into the fairy tale town.

"Fairy tale town" founder Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis have served as the TV series "Lost" producer, screenwriter team mostly "lost" the original cast, so the "fairy tale town" in the narrative also adhering to the "Lost "routines, the fairy tale world and the real world tells parallel stories of what happened and to correspond with each other, but the two space-time is not obvious manifestations of" Lost "in the flashback or flashforward relationship, maybe these fairy tale characters past, or This is just two parallel time and space, are not clearly implied. And writers do not seem eager to give explanations, so that people began after a simple layout in their free time and space grew. But from the point of view some of the information to be revealed, screenwriter is the next big chess set, such as the identity of Emma Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter, her son Henry in reality black witch's son, and in the fairy tale world of Henry's father is black witch, black witch is Snow White's stepmother, this tangled relationship between the characters is perhaps the only "lost" the writer can weave out, get out of trouble is definitely is a big project.

"Lost" established by the multi-dimensional narrative mode on the impact of television drama is bound to become increasingly apparent, but this way is also double-edged sword for the ratings, is bound to lose a lot of pure pleasure out of the mainstream audience does not love brains . The "Once Upon A Time Seasons 1-2 DVD" popular one important reason is its sporadic human temperament, the play mostly from well-known fairy tale characters "Green Fairy", the main line to the story of Snow White, Cinderella interspersed characters appear as well, Little Red Riding Hood, Han Sale and Ge Leite, Beauty and the Beast, etc., which accompanied generations of television viewers grew up fairy tale characters brings intimacy and a sense of security that has a natural affinity for drama, but aside pattern of story direction, relatively independent units each episode story is also very fine, although they are still aired return home, like the theme of love supreme cliche, but healing effect is obvious.
