When 'Once Upon a Time' first started it was highly addictive and made the most of a truly great and creative premise. Really loved the idea of turning familiar fairy tales on their heads and putting own interpretations on them and the show early on clearly had clearly had a ball. Watched it without fail every time it came on and it was often a highlight of the week. Which was why it was sad when it ran out of ideas and lost its magic in the later seasons.
"That Still Small Voice" to me is the best of the five Season 1 episodes up to this point, though the previous episodes are still very good to great, and also one of the best of the season. It demonstrative of the show getting stronger with each episode. It's notable for the development and origins of Jiminy Cricket, and it's an incredibly compelling and well written one with a great fresh twist that makes the character an interesting and likable, even though nastier than one would expect, one.
As to be expected, "That Still Small Voice" is a very handsomely mounted episode, with settings and costumes that are both colourful and atmospheric, not too dark or garish and never cookie-cutter. It is photographed beautifully and there were some make-up that suited the characters perfectly and pretty good effects work. The music is haunting, ethereal and cleverly used with a memorable main theme.
In "That Still Small Voice", the writing is the best and most consistent it's been up to this point, it's humorous and engaging and doesn't have any cheesy or as many clichéd moments. The story establishes the concept and intertwines and mirrors the real and fantasy worlds very well and does a great job developing Jiminy Cricket's characters while still making the rest of the characters no less interesting.
Acting is improving all the time and is very good here. Raphael Sbarge has some of his meatiest material here and does wonders with it, some of his best acting of the show without a doubt.
To conclude, wonderful episode. 10/10 Bethany Cox
