The writer gives Once Upon a Time a very positive review, but worries that it won't last long. He compares it to the miniseries The 10th Kingdom, which, while "brilliant" (his words, and how true they are), got terrible ratings.
The author discusses how he is afraid to love Once Upon a Time, as ABC has a history of canceling critically-acclaimed shows like Pushing Daisies, Twin Peaks and My So-Called Life.
