I am a bit surprised this tv show has never come up, but I would like to bring it up now. Thoughts? Opinions?

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Works in progress:

The Diegosian Rider, 121,400 words (Finished)
The Diegosian Warrior, 15,000 (In Progress)

I love this show, for one. It's supposedly rated 'PG', but there have been a few things (most romance-related) I've seen in the second season (I haven't seen the first season yet) that make me feel squeamish. Nothing explicit, just mostly hinting at it or kisses or whatever. When I sense something like that coming up, I tend to switch pages for about three minutes, and when I come back, all is well.

All in all... despite the PG rating, I still think it should be PG-13ish. But it is a good show overall; I like the plot, and the actors are good.

And I'm going to sound very weird here, but Rumpelstiltskin's character makes me giggle. XD Everybody thinks I'm crazy when I say he's my favorite character. *shrugs* I dunno.

I think it started out as a fascinating concept, but at this point, it runs the risk of running itself down into a soap opera if they keep trying to rebuild conflict rather than follow a set plot arc.

I have not seen the 2nd season, except for the special 'review' episode at the beginning of the season, and the Season 2 premiere - so please, put the spoiler tag on anything relating to S2.

I have every episode since on DVR, though. Waiting for the summer to watch it with my sister.

It does seem like a good show, had a good first season, and was glad they were renewed for season 2.

Well, I have seen the first two episodes, and so far so good. :)

Ooh yes, I've seen a bit of this. I quite liked it, but I haven't finished it off yet. I was just over half way in the first season I think.
