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. Right, because Buffy is the only show that ever did a musical episode. Why are we not all bowing down at the Buffy alter right now. How foolish of us to watch any other shows, they will never compete with the legendary Buffy. This comment was not made solely about the musical episode ffs. Even if you are talking about other things as well, the point still stands. Once and Buffy are both fantasy dramas, so a few plot points may overlap, it doesn't mean that Once is plagiarizing Buffy. And by that argument, I could probably find a show that came out before Buffy that had a few similar plot points, so does that mean that Buffy plagiarized that show? See, it doesn't make sense, because we can literally keep going finding something that came out before with similar plot points, until we get to Greek Mythology. I'd rather just go with that then: Every story is plagiarizing Greek Mythology, because it came first.
