Does anyone think the writers may have watched A Series of Unfortunate Events and seen how well they pulled of musical stuff? Just binged it on Saturday. The last song was alright, but the series itself was missing great emotional depth and felt really comical at times. But I loved the nostalgia as I read the entire thirteen book series. Though I do hope in the second season, they get eater CGI, visuals, and work on the grit the stories capture perfectly.

Speaking of grit, my biggest concern about this musical... The show will lose the last of its grit and I don't want to see that happen. Not that everything has to be so drab and depressing... But the series also isn't just some comical one-dimensional skit show that parodies fairytales. Which I really feel is what this musical is going to do by accident.

No, I think they watched Buffy and Angel and decided to plagiarize them. Before pretending wrong things, do you know that some of them (like Jane) used to work on Buffy?

I do know that Jane Espenson wrote episodes for Buffy, but what is your point? Jane did not create Buffy, Jane did not write season 2 finale where Buffy sent Angel to hell by stabbing him with a longsword, Jane was not involved with Angel where Angel's infant son was kidnapped, raised in a different dimension where time moved faster, then he returned much older, darker and twisted. Jane did not write or direct the musical episode. Jane was only a writer who received outlines to write an episode from the showrunner, she doesn't have any rights for Buffy (and moreover Angel) and it doesn't mean that it's ok for OUAT to rip off a better show.
