This show has everything
It's fantasy but it has mystery, comedy, romance , tragedy and action
ALL things i do love!
I loved this show. I stopped watching during Season 5, it didn't have the same feeling as the earlier seasons. Too many characters and convoluted plots. But Season 1 is so magical that you could just pretend it's the whole series on its own and be satisfied.
I agree, I stopped watching once it added a purgatory (like all of these fantasy series do eventually) and when it became just each episode being a one-off random character being added, cause some issues, they fix it then they go back to normal like when they added Elsa?? Don't add modern princesses I beg
@@kiwibird4966 well, Elsa wasn't an episode thing. The whole season was about her, which btw wasn't that bad. I watch that season with really low expectations but it surprised me how they made it work
@@alej1778 I loved Elsa/ Frozen arc
Watch season 7 you won't regret it I think it's one of the best seasons because it's the last season but you should definitely watch it
@@sincia2raww I loved that season
Snow: "let me talk to HIM"
Darcie: "is it the beast?"
....well technically yes but actually no.
This show means SO much to me, I cry as soon as I hear the intro song.
Knowing that nobody else ages because of the curse and so Henry was the only kid/person in town aging and going to different grades but none of the other kids did is lowkey HORRIFYING😭😭😭
OMG that would be I never realized ...
Ashley (Cinderella) was pregnant the whole time😰
I know how the fudge did she not think he would notice it!!!!
I have no idea how I missed this reaction. Lana Parrilla, aka The Evil Queen, is simply one of the best actresses I've come upon. She seriously makes this show what it is.
Also, fun fact (assuming no one else mentioned it): Jane Espenson, one of the best BTVS writers, was a producer, and writer for this series so there is many a time, you'll spot some storylines that seem familiar or characters that just scream BTVS. (Team 🐇)
You're hilarious! Based on your appreciation of The Evil Queen and the costuming, I'd say that you need to watch at least the first few seasons of this show. The costumes are amazing! Thanks for sharing your reaction with us 😀
thank you for watching with me!!
Totally! Season 2 and 3 are the top for me. Don't stop at the pilot!
i loved this show so much, even though it gets so chaotic and nonsensical at a certain point, I just ate it all up. and yeah, each episode has a storyline in the present modern world and in the past fairytale world. usually, the past storyline explains characters backstories that we see in the present, and they usually all have twists, that we see play out in the present, it's pretty fun. and yeah, the mom is the evil queen, everyone is a character. if you don't like puns, get ready cuz every character name is a pun lmao, ruby being red riding hood, cinderella being called ASH-ley, snow white's last name being blanchard, it's all references. if you do get into the show, there is a spin off set in wonderland, and s7 is sort of a reset, it's way after the events of s6 and is a different thing, but if you get there you'll see.
it's a fun and wild show that can be so good and so cheesy and I have to stop myself from rewatching it lmao
puns, cheese, i love all of that!
@@darciesnothere It's so much more then even that. It will amaze, & enchant, & spell bound you. Family is the most cherished & magic comes from the heart. Villain's & Heroes finding thru survival & learning to over come adversity, & work together in a world that is beyond belief, our world, & the created one they all came from...
You only have to hitch a ride on a unicorn, & follow along.
Believe in Fairytails, come to life, Characters so warm, of kindred spirits, & a chance to see a truly unique yet sometimes darker take, on Stories, more Grim then Diseny.
But absolutely worth the trip Darcie.
I hope you decide to return to Story Brooke, the Writers from Buffy verse, & Lost Franchise have collaborated, together to create the unique vision, for Once ✨👌🏼 🛡️❤️🛡️✨🪄
There is a reason why it is so loved.
But patients is key, & the love of mystery,dazzling cheeky humor, bravery
Adventures. From two incredible views of two worlds, brought together.
Full of Wonder. & More✨👌🏼Hee, hee.
✨👩🏼👲🏻✨📖✨🧚🏼♂️🛡️⚔️🛡️✨
& each Season was special for Emma & Henry her sweet son, who is the heart of the towne, & the Story Book inhabitants, that he alone believes just may be real...
Now he has to, just convince his Heroic yet Cynical Mom, Emma,
So she can save them all, before it's all too late.
🐶👩🏻🚀💖🌐💖✨🧚🏻♀️✨
This is a crazy show. Hope you'll keep reacting to it. Love your Buffy reactions, and know that you'll be a fantastic reactor to OUAT.
thank you!! 🥺
Best series ever imo. The evil queen is everything. Throughout the series they spend a lot of time in both timelines. You'd love it!!
When this came out, it was new and a refreshing take on the stories we grew up hearing about. And boy was I HOOKED. Yes, the show is great BUT... I think it could've been much more than great. It could've been epic. At least for me it would've been. I get its message, it's all good and all but at the same time, I wanted it to go on a darker path to push certain characters and layer them even more than what we were given. I feel like because it was on ABC and it's owned by Disney, they forced it to become a family show. If you decide to watch the whole thing, you'll see what I mean. And because of that, I feel like it lost its magic. At that point it just felt, like I said, forced. Again, that's just my opinion.
Darcie, because I've gotten to know you from your Buffy reactions, you will absolutely love this show. This one is prefect for you. Watch it. Be happy, girl. Enjoy it. Heck, I'll watch your reaction just because I know it'll put a smile on your face. Much love Darcie. PEACE!
*Oh yeah forgot to add that the actors who play Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas) are actually married in real life and have 2 kids. They fell in love on the show. So yeah, dreams do come true lol.
"watch it. be happy" - i dunno why but that just made me smile so big thank you!
@@darciesnothere Right back at you, girl. These past few days have been the most saddest, gut wrenching events that have taken place in this world that all I want is to see people happy. Too much darkness in the world. Let's bring some light back into it. Shower people with nothing but happiness, joy and love. Be safe and be well.
There were many missteps, and generally the quality went down each season. The show's idea of what's moral became inconsistent. Too many twists just for the sake of "You thought for so long that it was this way, but actually!" in the later seasons that weren't logical or took the meaningfulness out of something earlier. But even in the final season there were still good character moments, which was the best part of this show.
Ice cream sandwich is the randomest nickname I've ever heard - I love it LOL
Once Upon a Time is a lot of fun. Really happy you enjoyed it Darcie. We lived in Vancouver for 2 years and it was filming quite a lot there so we went to the actual town of Storybrooke that they filmed in quite a lot and it’s super cute!
Enjoy it and have a blast if you end up watching the whole show. Also the evil Queen is of course the best character.
the evil ones are always the best characters 😌
The show is actually about all of the Disney characters (mostly) that through out the story it shows their past and their current life in story brook! I LOOOOVED this show.
All corvids (even Bluejays) can remember your face. They can also become your friends and will bring you gifts. If you offer them gifts while you build a friendship.
I love once upon a time I LITERALLY WATCHED IT 1000 and it never gets old or boring and I still get surprised and teary eyed and I love the Romane to it and I watch it every year
'I dont know which fairytale its about'
ALL OF THEM
this is my absolute comfort show, i hope you will keep reacting to it
Can we agree season 7 feels so disconnected and how season 6 is the true ending
As much as I disliked season 7 and as bad as it was, I think 5 was the worst.
At least 7 they tried to refresh the show and go in a new direction.
Love this show! Lots of fairytale characters. The old lady and the girl with red scarf at the inn are Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandma. Hope you continue reacting to this show! It's amazing!
Also, here's some suggestions for Pilot Says: "The Marvelous Mrs Maisel" (from the creator of Gilmore Girls), Why Women Kill, The Gilded Age
This show was amazing. From s1 to s6. It was so good
Go, Little Ice Cream Sandwich, Go! 😂 I wasn’t prepared for that and I laughed so hard every time she called him that.
Regina poisoned that apple because she wanted to get revenge on snow white not because snow was prettier than her
"Go, little ice cream sandwich, go!"
I'm dead 😂 David's lovely
“Go little ice cream sandwich!” 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely consider adding this to Buffy reactions. This show is delightful
Regina/Evil Queen is actually a great mom she really genuinely love's Henry and will do anything for him. She's also a fan favourite character
Ah this show. I remember enjoying the first 2 seasons so much; there's evil plans within evil plans and it all get revealed a bit at a time. The show gets a bit stuck in a rut in later seasons but they still have some fun moments.
I FREAKING LOVE ONCE UPON A TIME REACTIONS😭
It does keep both timelines, it works like LOST, where half episode is flashbacks and half is the present.
Wow, you're so lucky starting to watch this amazing series for the first time! I know that a lot of people soured on the later seasons, but if you just take it on its own terms, I think it's a a really fun show, and I thoroughly enjoyed all of it.
Basically the whole thing with the time is the characters have been trapped in time for 28 years which is why none of them aged. So the time moving means that Emma’s has started fulfilling her destiny and time is finally moving again! :)
Also I so love this show because they add so much more depth into the characters and they add flaws to the heroes!
Your reaction to the queen walking into the wedding was my reaction... She can step on me!
Just subscribed. I'm much older (75) and we probably don't share all viewing interests but this much we do have in common. I also like to watch the very first episode, the pilot of a series and then decide whether to continue with it. We live in a time where binge watching is commonplace. In my day, this was not possible. You had to wait a week between episodes, and usually the show went on hiatus during the summer. For a series like OUAT, thats a good 7 year commitment. Its so easy to be interrupted by life in that process. I don't remember how far I got with OUAT, perhaps 2 or 3 seasons. Seeing the pilot with you brought back memories and I will begin the series anew.
this is so wholesome! hi and glad you’re here!!
Your first reaction to Regina was just perfect! ❤
this has been my comfort show since day one of it being aired its so good and gets even more messed up and yes the mayor is the evil queen from the fairy tale timeline there are so many twist and turns and they will go back and forth between the time periods also fun fact Snow White and Prince Charming are married in real life and have two kids together
no way that is SO cute!! a real fairytale love story 😌
Omg I am so glad I found your channel, your commentary was chefs kiss. Please keep reacting to this !
As princey guy lay dying an ad popped up for pain relief 👌 🤣 Oh and "a bigger cupcake was perfect" x
U made me wanna binge watch everytime i see the first episode im hooked ...hope u keep watchin
So with you on the birds! Especially the Magpies. We've got one that's decided it hates my husband, so he can't walk around the corner near our house because he'll get attacked.
no cause this is my biggest fear! lolol every time i walk by one im like big smiles... no eye contact... big smiles.... LOL
I am currently binge watching this show for the 6th time. No regrets 🙃
Crows remember your face too and are vengeful. Im scared of them also. lol!
CROWS TOO?! damn... okay good to know good to know!
i stayed till the very end and even watched the final episode AS it aired (it was a Friday at 8pm 😌🤞). I won’t sit here and say that the show was perfect or that i was happy about every little decision they made but i did enjoy it to the very end. Do kinda wish some ppl who quit the show in earlier seasons had kept going with it cuz i can say with certainty that every story arc served a purpose and added more layers/growth to the characters in the end. it’s a lovely show and im glad i stuck with it
I love this show. I think seasons 1-5 are solid, with 1-3 being the best. It's seasons 6 and 7 that are messy for me.
this seems to be a consensus so far!
Yeah seasons 6 and 7 are messy the show should haf ended after season 6
season 5 was a trash that doesn't deserve to exist! season 6-7 redeemed the show for it
Agreed. I prefer to pretend that the mid-season finale in season 3 is the series finale, though, minus the one minute flashforward at the very end. It really is a perfect satisfying ending that wraps up all the major character arcs. ❤️
@@altinaykor364fr I hated Emma in that season
your videos give me sm serotonin
this comment 🥺🥺
Oh, the nostalgia!!!
This show is truly a ride.
I also recomend you to react to the pilot of Glee, if you haven´t already, cause it´s so crazy
I loved your commentary, so refreshing. Glad I stumbled upon your channel!
Regina and Rumple are the best. They carrying the show. Regina is one of the most complex, best build up characters on screen. It's absolutely worth watching.
One of my favorite reactions. Thanx.
lana the actress that played the evil queen carried this show
the makeup the hair 😍😍 i’m obsessed
🥺🥺🥺 stoppppp thank you!!
AAAHHH So glad you reacted to this!! When this came out in 2011 it was probably the last show that a whole family was excited to watch all together it was that magical (pun intended). The pacing gets better and better and there's so much lore and character development you just fall in love.
This is such a good show. Haven't watched the last few seasons, but what I've seen was so good, never fails to surprise you. I think you'd really like this one.
I love this show i watched all 5 seasons and Rumplestiltskin is one of my favorites in the whole show
Season 1 is iconic!😍😍😍 the entire show is a classic, though I will say, it lost a bit lf its charm during the later seasons💖
I agree 100 percent ... season one is the Best Ever!
All those years ago when the show started airing, I remember liking the show but then when the Beauty and the Beast episode came, I WAS OBSESSED. I still love the show, but yea, that was what really sold me.
well, the algorithm has put up every OUAT reaction. and YOU young lady are the best.... I have laughed the whole 20 odd minutes. so I will catch up! and you are an enabler I may have to buy the set... (or be patient and lend from the library.!) question? how can it be 12 years since season one!?!? and I was not as near to my youtube name! LOL
It’s about all of them *regina laugh*
Ice cream sandwich 💀 you crack me up so much 😂 I only watched the first few seasons of this but I reacted just like you. Regina and Rumplestiltskin were the only ones I cared about lol
Did you watch more? I loved this reaction, and I would have so much fun watching you react to the whole show!
if you kept watching, you already know that the fights between Regina and Emma were the funniest part! The apple picking that followed is my favorite!❤
The mythos says that True Love's kiss will break any curse.
I lost interest in the show as it went on, but got to admit - this is the perfect pilot. It tells you everything you need to know, without telling you *everything*, and basically forces you to keep watching.
I think you should rea t to the whole series 😉
LOLOL 👀👀
I think rumple is supposed to represent humanity- all the best and worst of what it means to be sentient and to have a soul. Think about how he got to be both the dark one and the hero. He faced temptations but he also made sacrifices. He had magic but the magic also had him. He was both cursed and doing the cursing.
@darcie I loved your review. Just found and subscribed thank you! 😊
my comfort show
That's me to. 😂 Why is someone ringing my doorbell? Why do I have a doorbell?
You need to do more because you are funny and a new look at this series is needed.
Pity you don't do more reactions! I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when you first met Hook.
I love this show I hope you do all 7seasons it's so good would love to see your reactions
Only one thing to say: Welcome, to the new adventure for Oncers (OUAT's fans) and believe me, you won't regret this! Prepare your heart my dear, because tons and tons of plot twists, connections, pasts that you would never find in any published story books of fairy-tale theories, and they will leave you gasps!
you are SO FUNNY i literally could not stop laughing the whole time
🥺🥺 thank you!!
Ok I'm hooked thank you
She says: I'm here for this
3 months later:.........no episode 2.
lol yes cause i also said “this is the series where i watch the pilot episode only and see if i would keep watching based on that” 🙂
Omg i loved this but also there was no time travelling, the queen just sent them to a different realm and then henry went to find emma 28 years after the curse was enacted.
AH! true true okay realm hopping tho still so cool!
your hairclips are eevveerrytthhiinnggg
Inn's name: GRANNY'S
Darcie: "is the innkeeper the fairygod mother?"
Me: (Naked Gun's facepalm)
Wow! 7k views… Darcy!! That’s so cool.
I loved this show!!! BTW you look so much like my bestie in high school Reece!!! Gorgeous! 💖😘
Don't know if you're still doing these Pilot Says videos but if you are, I respectfully request you watch the two-part opener of LOST because it is some really amazing television!
This show is so good, my favorite season is 1 and 3 I can't watch season 7 though , it's just feels different... Emma and Regina relationship are the best and for me their dynamic is what made the show interesting, and who can forgete Rumpelstiltskin!
tears are magic in tangled
i will now forever refer to Prince Charming as ‘Ice Cream Sammy’ 😂
as you should 😌
Omg i loved this 🤣 love your personality!!!
ahhh haha thank you!!!
What are the chances you'll upload more reactions to once upon a time? I'd watch the heck out of it lol
Okay ypu had ne dying you need to keep watching and reacting I am all for it. Love the Evil Queen and Regina Mills
I watched the entire run. The first half is the best, but I enjoyed the entire series. Give it a go! You’ll love the randomness! Snow White’s actress actually met and fell in love with ice cream sammy on this show. They’re now married with beautiful lil babies in reality.
I've seen every season of this show, it's really good. The later ones do get more chaotic but it's still worth a watch. In my opinion, the best season, in terms of writing and characters, is season 3. Absolutely well done, the best villain plotline in the whole show. (also some personal bias bc my absolute favorite characters were in that season) but it is just really well done and worth a watch.
This is My OP Season 1 Nothing Beats a Classic 😎 Season 2 OVERATED GARBaaGe Season 3 Thats WHY ITs ThE GoAT THe GoAT Season 4 I mean it’s alright like Season 5 It’s Ok Season 6 Meh Season 7 HMM Interesting The Spin-Off Once upon a time in Wonderland I mean it’s alright like
I loved this show and now I’m dying to go back and rewatch!!!!
Love this show so much
I know that´s have 10th month, but the clock moves cause Emma is in Storybrook so all has 1min old
This is a great show I am watching it for the second time rn
Rumplestiltskin is the absolute star of this show. The "heroes" are supposedly the main characters...but it's Rumplestiltskin forever. (And "the Evil Queen" is amazing. She's possibly the second-best character in the show...after Rumple.)
“I don’t know which fairy tale it’s about”
Me: 😒 buckle up. Even in the first episode, this family tree is messed up.
The evil Queen is Snow White’s mother by marriage, so is Emma’s grandmother and Henry’s great grandmother.
Henry is the queen’s son by adoption… making him his grandmother’s step-brother, his mom’s uncle, and his own grand-uncle.
It just gets wilder from there.
Oh man this is a great show that I never finished because life. I think I got 3 seasons in, though!
Lemme tell you why we are twins though. That little "I love her" that you whispered when Evil Queen Regina walked in?
GIRL, SAME.
I hope you watch it because Regina's entire wardrobe alone makes it worth it. But the show is also very good. 😁
LOLOL samesiess!!
Awwww sheeeit ....another show I love ....if u watched the original charmed u got me for life lmfaooooo
i have a reaction filmed to it!!!! just gotta get around to editing it lol
@@darciesnothere awww mann cant wait to see it
Hair & makeup soooo cute!
🥺🥺 thank you so much!!
Love this show. Hope you react to all of it.
Living in the past sounds cool until you gotta go and then you want modern toilet paper. Another show to try is The Pretender. The pilot is available here on UA-cam.
