Sunday of ATX Television Festival 2012 kicked off early for me at 9:30am with a screening of the first two episodes Once Upon a Time’s first season. Jane Espenson (consulting producer and writer) was in attendance for the series with Ben Blacker of the Nerdist Writer’s panel moderating the Q&A after. The pilot and the second episode “The Thing You Love the Most” were shown on the big screen at the Alamo Drafthouse. Kristin Bauer van Straten, our beloved Pam, guest-starred in the second episode as Maleficent and she looked great on screen. I also found myself relishing the dry delivery of her lines which she also lends to Pam. It was a nice way to lead into the season 5 premiere next week.
As for Jane Espenson, this was the third time I’ve seen her over the weekend and I can now understand why she is spoken of so highly in addition to all the work that she has done throughout the years. She strikes me as very thoughtful and passionate about the work she does. Enjoy the videos of the Q&A and the photos!
