I had to view it before interviewing one of its stars, Robert Carlyle. By the end of that first episode however, I was hooked and keen to discover the influences Robert drew on to create the fantastically strange little creature that is his Rumplestiltskin.
Created by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the writers of Lost, Once Upon A Time is a modern fairytale. It centres on Emma Swan, a 28-year-old who has fended for herself since being abandoned as a baby. Everything changes when Henry, the son she gave up years ago, finds her.

There are very few American TV series that capture my imagination, NCIS is one, The Amazing Race another, and then, of course, there\u2019s Bewtiched. So I wasn\u2019t really expecting too much when a review disc of Channel 5\u2019s new Sunday night fantasy drama, Once Upon A Time, landed on my desk back in 2012.
Speaking from Los Angeles, where he is currently filming the top-rated TV series Once Upon A Time, he muses, \u201CI certainly wouldn\u2019t rule it out. There are many stage roles that I\u2019d love to play, I mean, I\u2019d pretty much decided that was what I was going to be doing with my life when all the film work came in.\u201D
That film work has included a Bond villain in The World Is Not Enough, stripping for The Full Monty and creating the psychotic Begbie in Trainspotting, yet the idea of standing before a living, breathing audience remains an attractive proposition for the 50-year-old [he\u2019s now 62].
\u201CWhat I find interesting now is that I\u2019m beginning to think, \u2018Is it rose-tinted specs?\u2019 Have I been away too long and forgot how hard it actually is, because theatre is a hard ask.\u201D
\u201CVery long days are the nature of the beast on this one, for me particularly,\u201D he reveals. \u201CIf it\u2019s a Rumplestiltskin day, make-up and costume take two hours 45 minutes. Then I work all day, after which it takes another hour and a half to get the make-up off.\u201D
The ten-year-old believes Emma comes from an alternate world, and that she\u2019s the long lost daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, sent away to protect her from the curse of the Evil Queen, who has exiled characters from the fairytale world to modern-day America.
An old-fashioned tale of good v evil, Carlyle\u2019s Rumplestiltskin is a pivotal character. It\u2019s a role that is very close to the actor\u2019s heart, and one that appears to have whetted his appetite for a return to the stage by dint of its theatrical nature.
\u201CI don\u2019t know if they did Rumplestiltskin or not but he was certainly in it. I was fascinated by this character. I\u2019d never heard of Rumplestiltskin before and I just loved the name, loved saying the name, the notion of the name, and the fact that he loved names. Suddenly, 45 years later, here he was in front of me to play. It was providence.\u201D
With insect-like movements and an unpredictable temperament, Carlyle\u2019s Rumplestiltskin is a chilling creation guaranteed to send children to bed with nightmares. He\u2019s not the most comfortable of characters to play, admits the Scot.
\u201CBecause Rumple has quite an animated face, the make-up cracks a lot and has to be filled in and repaired. I might be the almighty powerful Rumple but I can\u2019t really move very well,\u201D he laughs, continuing, \u201CI love that I have, what appear from the outside to be two parts, Rumplestiltskin and Mr Gold, but of course they are the same person, opposite sides of the same coin. That makes them even more interesting to play.
\u201CGold tends to be very calm, quiet and intimidating whereas Rumplestiltskin is a box of frogs, he\u2019s all over the place. The wonderful thing about Rumple is getting to play theatrically on film. I\u2019ve never done it before. I\u2019ve never been this big in front of a camera.\u201D
To create Rumple, Carlyle thought back to his days at drama school, and to his five-year-old son Pearce. \u201CI\u2019ve taken a chance playing this way,\u201D he concedes. \u201CI was confronted with this really quirky, strange character who is stuck in a cell. What is he about?
\u201CWhen the make-up was given to me it was very like a mask. I worked with masks at drama school \u2013 you put the mask on, the contact lenses in and it kind of frees you. It\u2019s as if no-one is watching. You can play then, and really take thing to extraordinary lengths.
\u201CThen I thought, \u2018How does he sound?\u2019 I just heard my wee five-year-old. He walks about the house doing this thing with his voice and I thought, \u2018That\u2019s it. Rumplestiltskin has this childlike quality because he is constantly messing with people.\u201D
\u201CI came out originally to do Stargate and when that show closed down I thought that was it. So to get the chance to come back out here to do something like this is really what it\u2019s all about and I\u2019m very pleased to be here\u201D.
Did you guys notice Jamie Dornan is the one who plays Sheriff Graham on this show? I mention it because you should definitely NOT feel bad for him, whatever happens in this episode. He went on to be the male lead in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movies. That's a much better gig for him than this show.
Okay, so the curse is totally real. They never make any intimations otherwise here. But, if you ever had any doubts, this episode will clear those away for you. It will also show you why Regina is the worst character on Once Upon a Time.
Some people like her; she's got a passionate and vocal fan base. Personally, I don't get it. I can't stand her. Ugh. I wish they would have killed her off at the end of Season 1 or shortly thereafter. Regina ruined a lot of my enjoyment of Once Upon a Time for me.
Emma walks in and gives Graham the cold shoulder. He throws a dart in her direction that barely avoids hitting her. He's GOOD. She's pissed at the near-miss, and also about him having sex with Regina, and storms out.
However, Graham is not so easily dismissed. He follows her out of the diner and begs her to listen to him. He's pretty desperate for her to listen to him and give him some sympathy. She's not into it, and she SO does not want to talk to him about his sex life with Regina.
But, that's the thing. Graham doesn't know WHY he's been having sex with Regina. He feels nothing when he's with her. And so, on impulse, he leans in and gives Emma a passionate kiss.
Cut away to Graham pounding his fists on Regina's door in the middle of the night. She opens, surprised to see him there, and he kisses HER. He kisses her SOOOO much. She's obviously into it, but he seems like he's doing it to try to feel that elusive "something" he told Emma about.
Enchanted Forest, The Past--Snow's father is dead, yo. Poor Snow is dressed in black, crying over his coffin. Regina comes over to her, also in black (but that's her signature color), and pretends to be sympathetic and loving. Not knowing Regina hates her, Snow hugs her step-mother, who reluctantly hugs her in return.
She is disgusted that Snow sought comfort with her, and says she could have ended Snow right there, but the matter has to be handled delicately. The people love Snow, and they must know the terrible thing Snow did to Regina before Regina offs her.
Storybrooke, The Present--In bed with Regina, Graham wakes up after dreaming about this incident with the deer. He describes the dream to Regina, who gets a hint of concern in her voice when he mentions the wolf. He tells her it felt more like a memory than a dream, and he wants to leave. He left his car at Granny's, anyway.
Emma is justifiably defensive and demands to know what Snow means. Snow gently and delicately (don't poke the bear, Snow) tells her that she has these emotional walls that keep people from getting too close. While the walls are understandable, Snow thinks Emma obviously has feelings for Graham.
In the woods of Storybrooke, Graham is all sweaty and crazy-eyed, and is searching for the wolf. He thinks he found it, but it's only Rumplestiltskin, screwing around in the brush. Rumple claims he's gardening. The apron he's wearing and shovel he's carrying say otherwise.
Graham says he's looking for a wolf, but Rumple says there ARE no wolves in Storybrooke's woods. He also tells Graham that some people say dreams are memories of another life. Wishing Graham luck on his wolf search, Rumple ambles off to wherever Rumple goes. Maybe his shop. Who knows. He has a house somewhere in town, but we hardly ever have scenes there.
Enchanted Forest, The Past--Graham and his pet wolf are at a tavern. The other customers say they heard he was raised by wolves and cries over his kills. Graham ignores them, but the jerks continue to bully him, asking him what kind of man cries over animals.
What do you do when you've just remembered almost killing Snow White? Why, you go talk to her, of course. Graham shows up at Snow's classroom, just as her students are leaving. He tells her he thinks they know each other.
Enchanted Forest, The Past--Regina's castle looks like it's made of swords. It's a sharp place for a person who is painful for everyone to be around (or to have on their TV screens). One of her Black Guards brings her the huntsman. He won't give her his real name, so she will just call him the huntsman.
If he does it, he will have a place of luxury at her castle, where he will want for nothing. Graham is not impressed. But, he DOES agree he is the type of person to kill an innocent and carve out their heart for Regina's collection, just because. f0a16ac21c
