ABC's Once Upon A Time ratings may have been whacked by Daylight Saving Time, its 2.8 adults 18-49 rating was a series low, down 18% vs. a 3.4 rating last week. Desperate Housewives was even with last week's 2.5 adults 18-49 rating. ABC's GCB rose to a 2.3 adults 18-49 rating, vs. a 2.2 rating for its series premiere last week. ABC topped the nights adults 18-49 ratings.
For those Once Upon a Time fans who couldn’t make it to Beverly Hills last week to attend the freshman drama’s PaleyFest panel discussion, Hulu has conjured up a special treat: You can watch the full hour-long Q&A right here.
Already TVLine hit you with a recap of the event’s most magically delicious scoops, but by pressing PLAY below you can see the cast and creators expound on those as well as many other topics. Plus, you can weigh in on the new Chuck Taylors I wore as moderator (since you can’t get a clear view of my nifty, rare “Find Flight 815″ T-shirt).
As an added bonus, I’ve listed below the player a “laundry list” of what is discussed and at the time stamp where you can find it. Enjoy!

Loved the episode. It just keeps gettin' better and better. It's slowly building up to that huge climax in the season finale and I can't wait for that.
In other news, ratings were steady these last episodes. They're not huge, but certainly nothing to worry about.
As much as I liked last week's episode, I thought this one was even better. The story is moving forward, and it's starting to get even more exciting. I really loved this episode.
I enjoyed Ruby's episode last week even though it kinda dragged. Great twist with her being the 'big bad wolf' and them incorporating her turning into this week's episode.
I loved seeing Snow not being her normal sweet self but I did not care for how the show ended with her escaping. We all know that she can't actually leave Storybrooke.
