Once Upon A Time: Season 2 [Blu-ray]

A problem this show can have is that it has too many characters and sometimes that’s a bad thing. This season we’re introduced to the character that, from what I’ve read since I got into this show three years ago, has divided the fan base: Killian Jones aka Captain Hook. I’ve personally enjoyed the character and seeing him develop from a pirate with a thirst for revenge to where he is now. I just wonder why bill him as a recurring guest star just to bump him to main character status mid-way through the season. Granted Ruby got the bump from recurring to main but nothing is done with her. She gets more to do than Archie got in season one and yet she has less to do. I honestly don’t know what the plans were for her character but after she regains control of her wolf form, she gets pushed to the background. I’ve read that there was supposed to be a thing between her and Dr. Whale but I never got that impression. Belle also becomes a main character (for better or worse) but her whole thing is deciding whether or not she’ll take Gold back only to lose her memory halfway through (not much is done there either) only to get it back in the finale. I like Belle but I’d like to see her separate herself from Gold. Still waiting on that.

We also get this season, who is still unsurpassed in my eyes, the best villain the series has had, Barbara Hershey as Cora. After only one appearance in season one, I was hoping to see more (besides flashbacks) and was excited when she popped up at the end of the second episode. She’s cruel, heartless, power mad, and more manipulative than Regina could ever hope to be. She’s a character one should hate for all the terrible things she’s done done to her daughter and others. Yet I love the character for it and I’m always excited when I find out she’s coming back! I don’t what it is about Hershey’s performance that draws me in but I was bummed when she was killed off. Sadly we also get the worst villains of the series in Greg and Tamara: two halfwits who want to destroy magic on the basis it’s unholy and report back to the “home office”, something that’s hugely underwhelming when it’s revealed who they work for. It’s also a shame that, after her three brief scenes in season one, Maleficent returns but as a crappy CG zombie. I know Kristin Bauer was on True Blood at the time, and it does at least give an explanation as to how the character physically returns in season four, but what was the point? Especially when she’s defeated off screen anyway.

I’ve heard, but can’t confirm, that the season was supposed to be headed in one direction but after they got the rights to the Peter Pan stuff, everything was changed. I can kind of see it since there is a lot of meandering about after Cora’s death (who wasn’t supposed to get killed off when she did) so they could get to Neverland but from Emma and Snow going through Jefferson’s hat to everyone boarding Hook’s ship and sailing to deal with the not so dire threat of Peter Pan, it was still an enjoyable season.

Excelente refiguración de los cuentos tradicionales y su mundo mágico en una comprensión desde nuestra época contemporánea absolutamente sorprendente: creatividad que va más allá del pastiche y que puede llegar a hacer que nos planteemos cuándo somos más reales, si en nuestro imaginario arquetípico o en nuestra existencia cotidiana. De hecho, la propuesta del guión disuelve tan antinomia. ‘Somos’ siempre en ambos mundos, y nos trasvasamos de uno a otro continuamente, como lo hacen los personajes. La lectura puede alcanzar altos vuelos: poblamos el mundo de la vida inmediata pero nuestra entidad (e identidad) es ancestral, regida por el inconsciente colectivo, resuelto plásticamente en cada capítulo con absoluta eficacia. Y el ritmo es trepidamente; no hay manera de dejar de ver uno tras otro. Una de las mejores creaciones de los últimos tiempos. Ojalá alcance muchas temporadas. Ambientación exquisita, buena actuación y dirección. Con esta saga uno tiene que ser una persona adulta y un espíritu niño a la vez para alcanzar su mensaje.

Perfect gift for a friend who wanted to binge watch this.. perfect gift 🎁 bought for a friend 🥰🥰🥰
