ABC’s fantasy spinoff from hit, Once Upon a Time, airs Thursdays at 8/7c.
Once Upon A Time in Wonderland opened with a promising first episode. It featured a fierce Alice who was driven by a mission that she wasn’t going to let stop her. Alice’s drive was fueled by her desire to reunite with her true love Cyrus. Beside Alice was the Knave of Hearts who was helping…
With the laws of magic officially changed Jafar wields enough power to do what he wishes, But Amara also has this same power and she intends to save her son’s life. Jafar is ready to kill her and be the only one harnessing that powerful magic until Jafar’s father steps up. In his attempt to…
Will is still reeling over Anastasia’s death, but Jafar offered him a way he could save her. Bringing her back from the dead seems far fetched, but Jafar promises he will help her if the Knave helps him. Jafar even let him out so he could talk to Alice and Cyrus. Will was willing to…
Alice caused some trouble with Cyrus as they stole something from the Caterpillar and caused a brawl. No sooner than they get away from that mess does Tweedle inform them that the Queen is locked up and was forced to make their wishes. Even while Anastasia was locked up she did still want to make…
The episode began with a flashback of Cyrus with his brother’s gambling in Agraba. The scene really highlighted just how cocky Cyrus was before his life went to hell. It was nice to see who his brother’s were considering we just learned last episode that they were the other genies in bottles. His brother’s thought…
Let’s be honest, I completely forgot that Once Upon a time was coming back for the rest of the season. The show just isn’t as strong as it could be. ABC een admitted that they should have stuck to the original plan and aired the show in the gap between Once Upon a Time. Will…
This show has always been partial to flashbacks as more and more new shows seem to be. integral parts of an episodes plot are tied to flashbacks. This time we got to see a time when Cyrus and Alice were falling in love. This was very much an episode for Cyrus. He finally got a…
We returned to Jafar’s past as we watch a young Jafar having his final conversation with his mother as she died. It is the moment he learns that the Sultan is his father. Since we already knew that it wasn’t a surprise that we learned of it. The sultan views Jafar as nothing. He is…
Jafar took things a bit further when he jumped from Wonderland back to our world to torment the people who know Alice best. I’m guessing he learned everything we did in the flashbacks and maybe a bit more. Cyrus has finally escaped and he isn’t holding back when it comes to using his magic to…
This week was very much a time to reflect of Anastasia/ the Red Queen’s role in this whole tale. In order to help both herself, she enlists the help Alice. It is a cause of needing each other and not being to proud to ask for help from someone they don’t particularly like. Anastasia orders…
We begin with a flashback of Jafar as a child. He confronts a woman with terrible power, who’s feared by those around her, to learn what she knows. In this it is revealed that Jafar is the bastard son of the Sultan. Clearly the Sultan was no Eddard Stark and left his bastard to the…
Right away we see the work of Robin Hood and his Merry Men, which was a nice treat from the Once Upon A Time main universe. As a carriage is stopped, by men supposedly hurt on the ground. We quickly discover it was merely a distraction for one of the Merry Men to steal some…
Alice’s obstinance is rather annoying and I get the feeling that it is a consistent personality trait of hers. When the Knave insisted that they walk around the lake, she continued to insist in taking Silver’s help, despite knowing Silver hated the Knave. It was rather predictable that Silver decided to drop the Knave into…
The episode quickly starts with us finding out the position Alice is in after her trip to Wonderland. Her initial trip down the rabbit hole left her missing for so long her father thought her dead. When she returned, she was rather promptly determined crazy. Of course, many years later her only idea to get…
So, I pondered...
