Sceencaps and bog posts about the hit, ABC TV show Once Upon a Time

OUAT – Was the Giant from Jack – Update – It was an Ogre/Burly Man.

So, we (David B told me first. Thanks David) saw this Giant in ‘The Thing You Love Most’:

Was his Storybrooke version in the well-wishers of Mayor Mills appointment/photo op of the new Sheriff?

Updated to add these screencaps:

OUAT – What did The Dark One look like (to me)?

When we got a glimpse of The Dark One in ‘Desperate Souls’:

Most people thought of this Dark One:

I mean, sure The Dark One in ‘Desperate Souls’ did this:

and this:

like this Dark One:

but, one of my favorite games (not for the faint of heart) was Resident Evil 4, and when I saw TDO in OUAT, I thought of this guy (The guy in the background):

Yup, he reminded me of the mysterious Merchant in Resident Evil 4. Just sayin’

OUAT – Ipod device spotted in ‘Desperate Souls’ episode.

As the camera pans to show Emma destroying the toaster, we see what is playing Sonic Youth’s “Kool Thing,” and it is a iPod Touch (possibly an iPhone?) in a iHome type speaker base:

Also see the MacCutcheon Whiskey, as well.

So, this does challenge my theory that Storybrooke was frozen 28 years back from 2011, or it may introduce the idea that the more the breaking of the curse goes forward that items from 2011 will begin to appear in Storybrooke. What do you think?

Updated: So, the awesome @fyes_ouat reminded me that Emma brought it into Storybrooke. Mary Margaret doesn’t seemed to be too shocked by it. I wonder what else Emma “smuggled” into Storybrooke?

OUAT – Song that was playing when Emma was breaking the toaster

In the episode, “Desperate Souls,” after Emma was fired by Regina, she was “fixing” the toaster with the butter knife and Mary Margaret Blanchard walked in:

The song that was playing was “Kool Thing” by Sonic Youth:

Kool Thing by Sonic Youth on Grooveshark

Here are the lyrics (Thanks to David B. for sending them):

Kool Thing by Sonic Youth

Kool Thing sittin’ with a kiddie
Now you know you’re sure lookin’ pretty
Like a lover not a dancer
Superboy take a little chance here
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so

Kool Thing let me play it with your radio
Move me, turn me on, baby-o
I’ll be your slave
Give you a shave
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
[Chuck D] Yeah, tell’em about it,
Hit’em where it hurts
Hey, Kool Thing, come here, sit down beside me.
There’s something I go to ask you.
I just wanna know, what are you gonna do for me?
I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
From male white corporate oppression?
Tell it like it is!
Huh?
Yeah!
Don’t be shy
Word up!
Fear of a female planet?
Fear of a female planet?
Fear, baby!
I just want to know that we can still be friends
Come on, come on, come on, come on let everybody know
Kool thing, kool thing

When you’re a star, I know you’ll fix everything
Now you know you’re sure lookin’ pretty
Rock the beat just a little faster
Now I know you are the master
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so

Kool thing walkin’ like a panther
Come on and give me an answer
Kool thing walkin’ like a panther
What’d he say?
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
