Supernatural and the Vamp Diaries

Having computer issues today. Computer at work took forever to start this morning, this always happens whenever they do a software update. It slows everything down and we don't see any improvements. I've decided this is how IT people keep their jobs. Then at home? My DVR got funky. And didn't tape things. Luckily I decided to watch this week's Supernatural live or I'd have missed the episode where James Marsters and Charisma Carpenter play husband and wife and well ...( Spoilers )

Got EW, Ken Tucker really doesn't like Once Upon a Time - the premise confuses him. Weird. The premise actually is pretty straight-forward. Snow White and Prince Charming defeat Evil Queen. She's pissed and casts a spell that erases everyone's memories and transfers them into the real world, where they don't remember who they really are. Snow sends her child in a protective bubble ahead to this world, the daughter grows up, has a child, gives the child up for adoption, and eventually becomes a bails bondsman. The child she gave up hunts her down and tries to convince her that she is really the child of two fairy tale characters and has it within her power to break the curse keeping them in the real world and away from the land of fairy tales. How's that hard to follow? The criticisms don't make sense to me. EW needs to hire better critics. OTOH, tv critics are a dying breed - why bother reading them, when you can read your friend's blogs on the same topic for free?

Saw the Vamp Diaries also. Everyone else calls it TVD - but that's confusing. Particularly when it has a great comic short hand name like "Vamp Diaries". I don't do acronyms. I can't even spell the word. Also...it probably has something to do with living in a world where I'm overwhelmed by abbreviations and acronyms.
