Yesterday, I told you guys that I will watch Once Upon A Time's first ever episode on Channel 5 and I will be tweeting as it go. I warned you that it won't be good, so you have been warned... and here it is. Enjoy (or laugh)!
1h - "Sorry I'm late." I'm here now! So Once Upon A Time time/tweetalong 1h - CGI on the vanishing act! And now, present day USA. Where are we going, @onceon5? 1h - What an interesting way to get to know Emma Swann. A blind date! [Edit: well, a job but still...] 1h - GET HIM! HE Ruined a LOVELY DRESS! 1h - Oh, this is me playing catch up on my Once Upon a Time tweetalong. So, BEAR WITH! 1h - "I'm your son." WTF?! 1h - This kid knows too much. Not normal for a 10 year old. And she's having a panic attack. So much for a badass bounty hunter... 1h - Storybrooke, Maine. I know Maine is famous for its lobster. And Jessica Fletcher. Oh God, the body count!! 1h - "Let me talk to ... him." worried much? 1h - "For our child." I never thought Snow had a child. I imagined her as a teenager. 1h - "Because you're in this book." Be worried, Emma... 1h - Is Charming the Prince's first name or his surname? Anyone know? 1h - Time is a prison. It's sounds like Sapphire and Steel. 1h - "No more happy endings..." 1h - On it's 28th birthday... and how old is Emma? 1h - Oh. Not good. NOT GOOD! 1h - So, ladies & gentlemen. How is @onceon5 for you? 1h - And the first ad for @onceon5 is MIRROR MIRROR. Why am I not surprised? 57m - Now I think of it, the MIRROR MIRROR advert had music from @MarinasDiamonds... Me like! 57m - And we're back! Part two of four for @onceon5 Pilot episode. So... where were we? 56m - "Time's frozen here." Or the clock's broken?? 54m - And which fairytale are you, Archie? 54m - His shrink? And Jiminy Cricket? Pardon? 53m - I knew there was a catch with this tree 52m - Apple cider? NO! DON'T DRINK THE CIDER!!!! 51m - OH! OH! She's the QUEEN! BADDIE ALERT! 51m - And who's the sheriff meant to be? 51m - AWKWARD! 50m - I love Emma's car. Does that make me weird? 49m - This show is different to how I thought it would be. 48m - "What's 28 years when you have eternal love?" awww! [Edit: or vomit. depending on you.] 48m - Ding dong the witch is... not dead! NOT DEAD! 48m - Who fancies a curse today? 44m - I wonder how many of you lot are wondering what the hell is happening to my twitter feed... blame @onceon5! 42m - Oh! A mix of characters. Fairy tales and real. 41m - OH! THE TEACHER'S SNOW WHITE! 41m - Oh, this feels like the Disney film. And she has a pear... 40m - And Emma gets a warm welcome... 39m - "What do you think stories are for?" ... "A way to deal with our world." I love these lines! 39m - I like this May more and more... 38m - And now they make the connection... 37m - And with Emma giving up Henry, history repeated itself with Snow and Charming... 36m - Just thought. We've seen Snow... so where's Prince Charming in real life? 35m - There is NO WAY he can be dead! NO WAY! ... right? 32m - Am saying nothing about David Tennant advertising Virgin Media's TiVo. But the thoughts that are running through my head... 31m - Fourth and final part of @onceon5. And we have a mock castle. Will the wolf huff and puff and blow Henry's life down? 28m - Hasn't Snow gone through enough?! 28m - True love doesn't break this curse this time... 27m - "Somewhere horrible..." Are you saying Maine is horrible? Good work @onceon5... 26m - Regina is acting like any mother is at the moment... 25m - "I will destroy you if it's the last thing I do..." Oh, repeat and repeat again. 25m - Mirror Mirror, On The Wall... 24m - Hello again May. AND THERE HE IS! PRINCE CHARMING... in a coma? What kind of fairy tale is this show?! 23m - And are they Little Red and Grandma? 23m - Creep alert for Mr Gold! 22m - "Welcome to Storybrooke." 22m - oh! is that it? Is it over? BUT I WANT MORE!!! @onceon5, PUT MORE EPISODES ON NOW!
So, my tweetalong for Once Upon A Time wasn't that great. But I think I will like this show A LOT!
This might be classed as a brilliant idea. Or a stupid idea. Or an insane idea. But, here goes...
This Sunday, the UK TV station, Channel 5, will be revealing the much-hyped and highly anticipated US drama, Once Upon A Time. I, for one, am very excited about the show. So, to randomly celebrate it, I am going to do a Tweet-A-Long to the pilot episode (I'm not doing this every week! This is a one-off!).
I sure we all have updated our Facebook, Twitter & Tumblr at shows and their plot twists and I thought I would, for a laugh, tweet my reactions to the show and answering the question we all asked: Does this show live up to the hype?
I thought, as a laugh, I would watch one of the videos Channel 5 have revealed in the run-up and give you a taster of what I had planned...
8 Seconds: "Sorry I'm late." You're not sorry. If you were, you would have sneak in, mouthing the words "Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" 13 Seconds: Not sure about the special effects, but am loving the music. Will this be out on CD/iTunes soon? 23 Seconds: Badass Snow White! 36 Seconds: "I will not let you ruin this wedding." But she has! She just burst in! Plus, she is the "Evil" Queen... 47 Seconds: "But you shall have it." Because you forgot to get a gift receipt?
I'm not saying my tweets will be like this. More likely, they will be full of flirting, questions, screaming at the telly, and small (maybe not funny) jokes about a situation.
But I do hope you can join me. My Twitter is @PewterWolf13 and I shall (hopefully) start tweeting just before 8pm BST. If you can't make it, don't worry. I plan to put the tweets on the blog after the show.
So, hopefully, I will see you there tomorrow! Have a magical weekend!
