List of episodes

The first season of the American ABC fantasy-drama series Once Upon a Time premiered on October 23, 2011, and concluded on May 13, 2012. The series was created by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. The series’ first season centers around the Enchanted Forest and Storybrooke, and the Evil Queen’s (Lana Parrilla) plot to destroy everyone’s happiness so she can be the only one with a happy ending.

Once Upon a Times first season received generally favorable reviews from critics who praised its cast, visuals, and twists on fairy tales, though some criticized its uneven tone.
The pilot episode was watched by 12.93 million viewers and achieved an adult 18-49 rating/share of 4.0/10.[1] Those numbers dipped late in the season to a series low of 8.36 million viewers and a 2.8/8 adult 18-49 rating/share in April 2012,[2] but rebounded slightly for the season finale with 9.66
million viewers and a 3.3/10 adult 18-49 rating/share.[3]

Premise[edit]

All of the classic fairy tales and other stories exist together in the same continuity, though many of the events played out slightly different to how the stories are told in our world. The structure of the show cuts back and forth between the events happening in the real world and the corresponding events that happened in the fairy tale world.

On the night of her 28th birthday, bail bonds collector Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) is reunited with Henry Mills (Jared S. Gilmore)—the son she gave up for adoption ten years previous—who takes her back to his hometown of Storybrooke, Maine.

Henry possesses a large book of fairy tales, suspecting that Emma is the daughter of Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas), who sent her away so she would be protected from a powerful curse enacted by the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla), a curse in which the queen is the only one with a happy ending. Because of the curse, everyone in Storybrooke is frozen in time with no memories of their former selves—except for the Queen, who is Storybrooke’s mayor and Henry’s adoptive mother, Regina Mills. Emma of course considers this theory to be completely outlandish and returns Henry home, but she still decides to remain in the New England town after becoming attached to him. This action causes the hands of the clock tower to move for the first time in 28 years. Henry also tells Emma that they are the only people who can leave Storybrooke, as others who try will suffer accidents.

In the fairy tale world, it is revealed that Snow and Charming, concerned for the safety of their unborn child, went to seek advice from the imprisoned trickster Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle). In exchange for the child’s name, he told them their only hope was the child, who would return on her 28th birthday and begin «The Final Battle.» The child, an infant girl, is born on the day the Queen enacts her curse and is placed in a wardrobe carved out of an enchanted tree which takes the child to our world, where she grew up in the foster system, rebelled in her teen years, and ended up having Henry at 18.

In Storybrooke, Emma is soon elected as Sheriff following the sudden death of the previous Sheriff, Graham Humbert (Jamie Dornan), believed by Henry to be the Huntsman. Regina’s antagonistic attitude raises Emma’s suspicions and prompts her to move in with Henry’s teacher Mary Margaret Blanchard, believed by Henry to be her mother, Snow White. Regina’s bitter rivalry with Storybrooke’s wealthiest resident, Mr. Gold, becomes heated when she learns he is still aware of his true identity as Rumplestiltskin. Mary Margaret falls in love with David Nolan, a coma patient who is really Prince Charming. David wakes up after she reads Henry’s fairytale book to him as a favor to Henry. David, however, is married to Kathryn Nolan, the woman who is (in the fairy tale world) his ex-fiancée Princess Abigail, daughter of King Midas. Unable to deny their love, David and Mary Margaret soon begin a secret relationship that becomes public and upsets Kathryn.

Kathryn eventually decides to go to Boston and let David be with Mary Margaret only to disappear before leaving Storybrooke. Sometime later, an antique jewelry box that belonged to Mary Margaret when she was a child is found buried near the old toll bridge and is revealed to contain a human heart, which is proven to be Kathryn’s via DNA testing. Mary Margaret is arrested for Kathryn’s supposed murder and hires Mr. Gold as her attorney. As Mary Margaret is about to be prosecuted by corrupt District Attorney Albert Spencer (Alan Dale). Kathryn is found alive in an alley. It is revealed that Regina and Mr. Gold plotted to frame Mary Margaret and force her out of Storybrooke, but Mr. Gold double-crossed Regina and let Kathryn go to exonerate Mary Margaret. When Daily Mirror chief editor Sidney Glass (Giancarlo Esposito), previously the Magic Mirror, confesses to having abducted Kathryn to jump-start his career, Emma is not convinced. She concludes that Regina orchestrated the conspiracy and forced Sidney to «confess.»

Emma soon discovers that writer August W. Booth (Eion Bailey), who is the first stranger ever to arrive in town after she did, is from the Enchanted Forest as well: he is Pinocchio, who was sent to our world through the same wardrobe that brought Emma to watch over her.[4] He abandoned her out of fear and is slowly turning back into a wooden puppet as a result. Emma then attempts to take Henry out of Storybrooke forever but is then forced to reconsider when he refuses to go. She finally makes a deal with Regina, in which she agrees to leave but will still get to visit Henry on occasion.

Since Regina knows Emma’s true identity, however, she retrieves her poisoned apple (the same one she used on Snow White) to use on Emma in the form of an apple turnover. Henry, desperate to prove to Emma that the curse is real, takes a bite of the turnover and collapses to the floor unconscious. Emma, who now starts to believe after seeing flashbacks of her true past, is forced to ally with Regina to save Henry and retrieve Rumplestiltskin’s true love potion from Maleficent, imprisoned as a dragon underneath the Clock Tower. After slaying the dragon, Emma heads back to save Henry, but Mr. Gold intervenes and steals the potion, leaving Emma halfway up the elevator shaft and Regina tied to a chair and gagged.

When Henry is pronounced dead, Emma and Regina return to the hospital to say goodbye to his body. Emma kisses him on the forehead, causing a pulse of energy to engulf the entire town and restore everyone’s true memories while freeing Henry from the effects of the poisoned apple. Snow and Charming reunite with each other, and Regina returns to her mansion alone as Emma begins to wonder why no one is returning to the Other World since the curse is broken. Rumplestiltskin reunites with his true love Belle (Emilie de Ravin) and takes her to a Wishing Well deep in the heart of the forest, a well with the power to restore that which one had lost. He takes the potion and drops it into the well, causing a purple cloud to emerge and consume Storybrooke as the clock strikes 8:15.

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

Rotten Tomatoes gave the season an approval rating of 80% based on 35 reviews, with an average rating of 6.06/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «Charming and fantastical, Once Upon a Time is tonally uneven but derives strength from an outstanding cast and handsome visuals.»[24]

Metacritic gave it a score of 66 out of 100 based on 26 critics, indicating «generally favorable reviews».[25] Washington Posts Hank Stuever called the series «a smartly-crafted reward for fans of light fantasy, with the right mix of cleverness, action and romance.»[26] Verne Gay of Newsday said the series «glows with a near-theatrical shine, challenging viewers to think about TV drama as something other than boilerplate.»[27]
Several feminist outlets were pleased with the show for its feminist twist on fairy tales. Avital Norman Nathman of ##### stated that she liked the show for «infusing a feminist sensibility» into the stories.[28] Feministings Genie Leslie commented that Emma was a «badass», that she liked how Emma was «very adamant that women be able to make their own decisions about their lives and their children», and how Emma was a «well-rounded» character who was «feminine, but not ‘girly'».[29] Natalie Wilson from Ms. praised the show for a strong, «kick-butt» female lead, for including multiple strong women who take turns doing the saving with the men, for subverting the fetishization of true love, and for dealing with the idea of what makes a mother in a more nuanced fashion. Wilson went on to state about the lead: «Her pursuit of a ‘happy ending’ is not about finding a man or going to a ball all gussied up, but about detective work, about building a relationship with her son Henry, and about seeking the ‘truth’ as to why time stands still in the corrupt Storybrooke world.[30]

List of episodes

The first season of the American ABC fantasy-drama series Once Upon a Time premiered on October 23, 2011, and concluded on May 13, 2012. The series was created by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. The series’ first season centers around the Enchanted Forest and Storybrooke, and the Evil Queen’s (Lana Parrilla) plot to destroy everyone’s happiness so she can be the only one with a happy ending.

Once Upon a Times first season received generally favorable reviews from critics who praised its cast, visuals, and twists on fairy tales, though some criticized its uneven tone.
The pilot episode was watched by 12.93 million viewers and achieved an adult 18-49 rating/share of 4.0/10.[1] Those numbers dipped late in the season to a series low of 8.36 million viewers and a 2.8/8 adult 18-49 rating/share in April 2012,[2] but rebounded slightly for the season finale with 9.66
million viewers and a 3.3/10 adult 18-49 rating/share.[3]

Premise[edit]

All of the classic fairy tales and other stories exist together in the same continuity, though many of the events played out slightly different to how the stories are told in our world. The structure of the show cuts back and forth between the events happening in the real world and the corresponding events that happened in the fairy tale world.

On the night of her 28th birthday, bail bonds collector Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) is reunited with Henry Mills (Jared S. Gilmore)—the son she gave up for adoption ten years previous—who takes her back to his hometown of Storybrooke, Maine.

Henry possesses a large book of fairy tales, suspecting that Emma is the daughter of Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas), who sent her away so she would be protected from a powerful curse enacted by the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla), a curse in which the queen is the only one with a happy ending. Because of the curse, everyone in Storybrooke is frozen in time with no memories of their former selves—except for the Queen, who is Storybrooke’s mayor and Henry’s adoptive mother, Regina Mills. Emma of course considers this theory to be completely outlandish and returns Henry home, but she still decides to remain in the New England town after becoming attached to him. This action causes the hands of the clock tower to move for the first time in 28 years. Henry also tells Emma that they are the only people who can leave Storybrooke, as others who try will suffer accidents.

In the fairy tale world, it is revealed that Snow and Charming, concerned for the safety of their unborn child, went to seek advice from the imprisoned trickster Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle). In exchange for the child’s name, he told them their only hope was the child, who would return on her 28th birthday and begin «The Final Battle.» The child, an infant girl, is born on the day the Queen enacts her curse and is placed in a wardrobe carved out of an enchanted tree which takes the child to our world, where she grew up in the foster system, rebelled in her teen years, and ended up having Henry at 18.

In Storybrooke, Emma is soon elected as Sheriff following the sudden death of the previous Sheriff, Graham Humbert (Jamie Dornan), believed by Henry to be the Huntsman. Regina’s antagonistic attitude raises Emma’s suspicions and prompts her to move in with Henry’s teacher Mary Margaret Blanchard, believed by Henry to be her mother, Snow White. Regina’s bitter rivalry with Storybrooke’s wealthiest resident, Mr. Gold, becomes heated when she learns he is still aware of his true identity as Rumplestiltskin. Mary Margaret falls in love with David Nolan, a coma patient who is really Prince Charming. David wakes up after she reads Henry’s fairytale book to him as a favor to Henry. David, however, is married to Kathryn Nolan, the woman who is (in the fairy tale world) his ex-fiancée Princess Abigail, daughter of King Midas. Unable to deny their love, David and Mary Margaret soon begin a secret relationship that becomes public and upsets Kathryn.

Kathryn eventually decides to go to Boston and let David be with Mary Margaret only to disappear before leaving Storybrooke. Sometime later, an antique jewelry box that belonged to Mary Margaret when she was a child is found buried near the old toll bridge and is revealed to contain a human heart, which is proven to be Kathryn’s via DNA testing. Mary Margaret is arrested for Kathryn’s supposed murder and hires Mr. Gold as her attorney. As Mary Margaret is about to be prosecuted by corrupt District Attorney Albert Spencer (Alan Dale). Kathryn is found alive in an alley. It is revealed that Regina and Mr. Gold plotted to frame Mary Margaret and force her out of Storybrooke, but Mr. Gold double-crossed Regina and let Kathryn go to exonerate Mary Margaret. When Daily Mirror chief editor Sidney Glass (Giancarlo Esposito), previously the Magic Mirror, confesses to having abducted Kathryn to jump-start his career, Emma is not convinced. She concludes that Regina orchestrated the conspiracy and forced Sidney to «confess.»

Emma soon discovers that writer August W. Booth (Eion Bailey), who is the first stranger ever to arrive in town after she did, is from the Enchanted Forest as well: he is Pinocchio, who was sent to our world through the same wardrobe that brought Emma to watch over her.[4] He abandoned her out of fear and is slowly turning back into a wooden puppet as a result. Emma then attempts to take Henry out of Storybrooke forever but is then forced to reconsider when he refuses to go. She finally makes a deal with Regina, in which she agrees to leave but will still get to visit Henry on occasion.

Since Regina knows Emma’s true identity, however, she retrieves her poisoned apple (the same one she used on Snow White) to use on Emma in the form of an apple turnover. Henry, desperate to prove to Emma that the curse is real, takes a bite of the turnover and collapses to the floor unconscious. Emma, who now starts to believe after seeing flashbacks of her true past, is forced to ally with Regina to save Henry and retrieve Rumplestiltskin’s true love potion from Maleficent, imprisoned as a dragon underneath the Clock Tower. After slaying the dragon, Emma heads back to save Henry, but Mr. Gold intervenes and steals the potion, leaving Emma halfway up the elevator shaft and Regina tied to a chair and gagged.

When Henry is pronounced dead, Emma and Regina return to the hospital to say goodbye to his body. Emma kisses him on the forehead, causing a pulse of energy to engulf the entire town and restore everyone’s true memories while freeing Henry from the effects of the poisoned apple. Snow and Charming reunite with each other, and Regina returns to her mansion alone as Emma begins to wonder why no one is returning to the Other World since the curse is broken. Rumplestiltskin reunites with his true love Belle (Emilie de Ravin) and takes her to a Wishing Well deep in the heart of the forest, a well with the power to restore that which one had lost. He takes the potion and drops it into the well, causing a purple cloud to emerge and consume Storybrooke as the clock strikes 8:15.

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

Rotten Tomatoes gave the season an approval rating of 80% based on 35 reviews, with an average rating of 6.06/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «Charming and fantastical, Once Upon a Time is tonally uneven but derives strength from an outstanding cast and handsome visuals.»[24]

Metacritic gave it a score of 66 out of 100 based on 26 critics, indicating «generally favorable reviews».[25] Washington Posts Hank Stuever called the series «a smartly-crafted reward for fans of light fantasy, with the right mix of cleverness, action and romance.»[26] Verne Gay of Newsday said the series «glows with a near-theatrical shine, challenging viewers to think about TV drama as something other than boilerplate.»[27]
Several feminist outlets were pleased with the show for its feminist twist on fairy tales. Avital Norman Nathman of ##### stated that she liked the show for «infusing a feminist sensibility» into the stories.[28] Feministings Genie Leslie commented that Emma was a «badass», that she liked how Emma was «very adamant that women be able to make their own decisions about their lives and their children», and how Emma was a «well-rounded» character who was «feminine, but not ‘girly'».[29] Natalie Wilson from Ms. praised the show for a strong, «kick-butt» female lead, for including multiple strong women who take turns doing the saving with the men, for subverting the fetishization of true love, and for dealing with the idea of what makes a mother in a more nuanced fashion. Wilson went on to state about the lead: «Her pursuit of a ‘happy ending’ is not about finding a man or going to a ball all gussied up, but about detective work, about building a relationship with her son Henry, and about seeking the ‘truth’ as to why time stands still in the corrupt Storybrooke world.[30]

Цитаты из сериала «Давным-давно / Однажды в сказке»

То, что ты хороший, не значит, что с тобой случится что-то хорошее.

В дверь войдешь сделав шаг, кто чист душой — тот ей не враг.

Власть всегда желанна, но и любовь тоже. Ты снова сможешь ее обрести.

Нельзя лишать людей надежды. Это даже хуже, чем плохой конец в доброй сказке.

Договоры, сделки — основа мироздания и смысл существования.

— Говорят, сны — это воспоминания, воспоминания о жизни иной.
— А вы в это верите?
— Я верю во все на свете.

Правда может ранить, но она же и врачует.

Отчаявшуюся душу видно сразу.

— Он спасает тебя.
— Я его не просила об этом.
— Это не нужно. Все, что он делает, ради тебя. И жизнь отдаст, не раздумывая. Любовь — это подвиг, чего тебе, как я думаю, не понять.

Любовь — это таинство, загадка за множеством печатей.

Если мы нечестны с другими, нельзя быть честными и друг с другом.

— Поверь, это любовь. Мне ли не знать.
— А что это?
— Самое прекрасное и удивительное чувство на свете. Дает надежду, питает наши мечты. Если ты любишь, то цени каждый миг, поскольку любовь, увы, не вечна.
— Если любовь так прекрасна, отчего мне так тошно?
— Тебе нужно быть рядом с любимой.

— И куда ты теперь?
— Я не знаю точно. Куда-нибудь.
— Таких маршрутов не придумали пока, так что сначала определись.

Можно сидеть в библиотеке и при этом побывать во всех уголках земли.

Невозможно возвратить любовь. Она сама по себе волшебство, и лишь ее магия мне не подвластна. Кто раскрыл ее тайну, сможет править всем миром.

Любовь лишь блажь и слабость. Кажется настоящей, поначалу всегда так бывает, но она иллюзорна, не вечна, и ты останешься ни с чем. А вот власть, могущество вечно. С ними ни на кого не надо полагаться. Все, что хочешь, твое.

— Я мечтаю не о власти, я мечтаю о свободе.
— Власть — это свобода.

Семья — это всё. Утратить надежду обзавестись ею — величайшее из несчастий.

— Прости. Я хочу спасти тебя, но страх сильнее меня.
— Доченька, это не страх.
— Что?
— Это сила. Сила противостоять тьме. Я тобой так горжусь.
— Но ты не поправишься.
— У каждого в жизни наступает момент, когда нужно смириться с уходом. Со мной или без меня, поверь, ты станешь великой королевой.

Неизвестность пугает, но жизнь полна сюрпризов и шансов, которые не предвидеть.

Давным-давно / Однажды в сказке (Once upon a time)

Не чувствовать совсем ничего — это заманчиво, когда чувствуешь себя отстойно.

чувства боль


Давным-давно / Однажды в сказке (Once upon a time)

Мужчина, который не желает драться за то, что ему нужно, заслуживает того, что получает

(Человек, не готовый сражаться за то, чего хочет, заслуживает только то, что имеет.).

мужчины


Давным-давно / Однажды в сказке (Once upon a time)

Это всегда так. Люди будут всю жизнь говорить тебе, кто ты есть. И ты должна ставить их на место. Говорить: «Нет, вот кто я». Хочешь, чтобы люди смотрели на тебя иначе? Заставь их. И если хочешь что-то изменить, надо отважиться и менять всё самой, потому что феи-крёстные в этом мире не водятся.

общественное мнение человек, люди


Давным-давно / Однажды в сказке (Once upon a time)

— Сказки… сказки. А что, есть сказки? Вы в школе проходили гражданскую войну?
— Само собой.
— Как? По учебникам или на собственном опыте? Чем книга сказок от них отличается?
— Книги по истории основаны на событиях…
— А книги сказок на чем? На фантазиях… откуда они? Ведь где-то берут начало.

сказки


Давным-давно / Однажды в сказке (Once upon a time)

Рано или поздно мы все теряем своих героев.

потеря герои


Давным-давно / Однажды в сказке (Once upon a time)

У каждого волшебства есть цена.

(За волшебство надо платить.)

чудеса цена


Давным-давно / Однажды в сказке (Once upon a time)

Я не хочу, чтобы моя боль исчезала. Какой бы жестокой она ни была. Мне нужна моя боль, она делает меня тем, кем я являюсь.

боль


Давным-давно / Однажды в сказке (Once upon a time)

От любви погибло больше людей, чем от любой хвори.

любовь


Давным-давно / Однажды в сказке (Once upon a time)

Эта твоя стена — не дает тебе испытывать боль, но и любовь к тебе не подпускает.

стены


Давным-давно / Однажды в сказке (Once upon a time)

Когда мы встретились, я не просто не любил и был нелюбимым, я был врагом любви. Она приносила мне лишь боль. Мое сердце было окружено высокими стенами, но ты разрушила их. Ты вернула меня к жизни.
Ты внесла свет в мою жизнь, ты прогнала тьму. Я люблю тебя. И я никогда не забуду разницу между тем, кем я был и кем я стал. Я обязан тебе больше, чем это возможно выразить. Никогда не пойму, как ты разглядела человека за обличьем монстра.
