'Once Upon a Time'

This spin on many favorite fairy tales is great fun, if a bit confusing. There are plenty of new characters this season (Mulan, Captain Hook, Princess Aurora), but the villains look to be having the most fun, especially Lana Parrilla as the Evil Queen/Regina and Robert Carlyle as Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold. 8 p.m. Sunday on ABC (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
