Once Upon a Time is a show on ABC about population of fairy tale characters in Storybrooke, Maine including: Snow White, Prince Charming, Red Riding Hood, The Savior, Rumpelstiltskin and many more. Every episode consists of various fairy tale characters telling their story as a member of Storybrooke and as a character of the fairy tale kingdom. The only problem is that no one in Storybrooke remembers that they are fairy tale characters because of the curse that was cast by none other than the Evil Queen, who is also known as Henry's adopted mother, Regina and the Governor of Storybrooke. Henry, the town's true believer, believes the stories that are written in his Once Upon a Time story book are true, so he leaves for New York to pick up the once person he trusts to bring back the town's memories, the Savior. Emma Swan, a.k.a. the Savior, is a twenty-eight year old orphan who is brought to town from New York from a ten year old boy named Henry, who turned out to be the son she put up for adoption. Not only was she related to Henry, the town's true believer, but she comes to realize that she is the child of Snow White (Mary Margaret in the non-fairy tale world) and Prince Charming (David). While figuring out how to be a family, the Savior battles evil and tries to save Storybrooke from forgetting who they really are.
Captain Hook is in my opinion, the best character of all. Hook is the captain of the famous ship, the Jolly Roger, a magical ship that hosts a group of crazy and adventurous pirates. Before gaining the title of Captain Hook, Killian Jones was an egotistical pirate that stole treasures, drank to excess at pubs, fell in love with the wife of Rumpelstitskin and ventured to a Neverland to defeat Peter Pan. What made Killian who he is was the loss of his hand by the Dark One, Rumpelstiltskin. Because Killian fell in love with the Dark One's wife, his hand was cut off with a sword, which gained him the notorious title of Captain Hook. Throughout the show, Killian continuously seeks vengeance for the loss of his hand by the Crocodile (Rumpelstiltskin). Later in the storyline, romance thickens between Killian and the main character, Emma. We are all routing for this dynamic duo, so continue watching the series on Netflix before I spoil it!
When not eating at Granny's Diner or running around the streets of Storybrooke, Once Upon a Time is primarily set in the woods.Throughout the series, characters from the show are often thrown into their fairy tale world through magical jumping beans or portals and find that they must hike through the Enchanted Forest to find their way home to Storybrooke. Because of the show's wooded setting, I placed the small cache in Big River Management Area off Arrowhead Road in Coventry.
