This episode definitely went above and beyond our expectations and satisfied us viewer’s hunger for a great story (especially after last week’s episode “Dreamy” which we thought was a bit of a let down).
Fairytale Land
We discuss of how we loved this episode and also of the various opinions of the fans.
Finally we got to see the long awaited Red Riding Hood in the opening title scene.
So the Three Little Pigs is mentioned with Peter’s “Or I’ll huff and I’ll puff…” quote. Thankfully we assume there will be no more expounding upon that story and won’t be seeing little swines scurrying throughout Storybrooke’s dumpsters!
We are also quite pleased that the true identity of the wolf has finally been revealed! She is? Such a great surprise!
Jeremy quote, “…I’m glad Once Upon a Time isn’t a musical.”
Watching things a second time, third time, or even fourth time help out a lot, such as realizing that Granny was calling for red to make sure she was there safe in the house and not outside with the hunters. A thanks goes out to Tast_E_Cakes who emailed in!
Hi guys,
It just hit me, the reason Granny called Red into the room when the hunters were at the door was to make sure she(Red) was still in the house. Initially I was confused just as Red was, asking myself why did Granny call her into the room? After all It wasn’t as if Granny was asking her if she wanted to go, and in all actuality Granny forbid her to go. But it makes perfect sense now, Granny was ensuring the safety of her granddaughter by keeping the hunting party at the door and calling out to Red to make sure she was safe inside the house with the cloak on before she let the hunting party proceed on their way! I just love it when I get a epiphany!
That’s all for now, keep up the good work!
Regards

Don’t mess with Granny!
The hunters should have tracked the wolf in daylight as Red figured out, not during the night. Also Red seems to have a lot of power, much different than the “Little Red Riding Hood” stories we were told as children.
We discuss how this episode intertwines Snow’s character during the time when she first starts off in the woods. Also how she is caught red handed with the eggs she was taking.
Snow, “Not a lot…”
Also what a mess the wolf left! Red what have you done! We talk about how the blood got in the well… yes it was a very interesting discussion.
We then hear Granny’s very intense speech on her encounter with the wolf as a child. We find out that there have been at least two Ogre’s Wars and maybe even a third or fourth!
“The wolf came back to her and turned her.”
