Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dire Bare" data-source="post: 5719660" data-attributes="member: 18182">Finally watched the pilot tonight.I had no problem with Emma believing Henry.  She didn't at first, but he had his details straight and she DID give up a son for adoption ten years ago.  Not a stretch, IMO.  And, of course, with the fairy tale theme, Emma is drawn to Henry despite her tough girl, loner persona.I do agree that putting her in the drunk tank seemed off, but Storybrook, Maine is a place where the folks are strange and things happen for a reason . . . again, it's the fairy tale theme happening again.  And she does criticize the sheriff for arresting her by claiming she was not drunk . . . she did only have one drink, and didn't finish it at that (unfortunately, it was an evil APPLE drink!).  I didn't find her reactions to waking up in the drunk tank off at all . . . but it would have made more sense to have her wake up in a hospital bed . . . but does Storybrook have a hospital?  I'll let that one go pretty easily.Still, I think I like Grimm better.  We'll see how each show goes after a few more episodes.  The whole, "everyone from all the fairy tales, including Disney's add-ons, lived in one place in fairy land and all hung out, and now they all live in one small town in Maine" thing doesn't do it for me.  I'd be more comfortable with the same story, but with a looser adaptation of who exactly lives in fairie.  And, worse, the evil queen's evil plan to destroy all hope is to send everyone to . . . . Maine?  Never been there, but . . .  Heh, I'm sure they simply meant the mortal world, but, sheesh, it ain't that bad in the real world!</blockquote>
