Hes really been like a godfather, helping us kind of realize our vision of the show. And he very much wants it to be our show, so he helps when he can and sometimes he gives us tough love. The producers revealed that there are a number of nods to Lost in the pilot, including a reference to Oceanic Flight 815, and a few others. We cant help ourselves, Horowitz said. Yeah, we cant help ourselves. Theres actually two more Lost references in the pilot, Kitsis chimed in. One is the Geronimo Jackson sticker on the back of Emmas car and the other is the eye, the close on the eye. And the other one is door No. 109, Horowitz added. Fans can look to spot the sly Lost references when Once Upon A Time about Morrisons character, Emma Swan, who at the age of 28, finds out her mom is Snow White (Goodwin) when the show premieres on October 23 at 8 PM on ABC.
