Note: Full spoilers for the Once Upon a Time: Season 2 premiere follow.
The end of last season brought magic back to Storybrooke and to say the town has been shaken up is an understatement. The biggest surprise was that they weren't transported back to fairy tale land; apparently, the curse destroyed it entirely – or so Regina thinks. Magic works in our world, but not in the same way that everyone is used to using it at home. Yeah, the characters have a few things to process, and the good news for us viewers is that these changes are already positive ones for the series.
Maybe as a way to mark the difference, the series started in a mysterious way. The opening sequence felt like a commercial at first; it featured Michael Raymond-James (True Blood, Terriers) in New York while Lou Reed's "Charley's Girl" played in the background and he receives a postcard from Storybrooke. Perhaps it's a sign that the town is part of our world and completely accessible now? It seems like it was somewhat hidden before. We'll see if something similar happens again in subsequent episodes - while we're left to ponder just who Raymond-James is playing.
