Peter Pan is the hero we deserve for taking Henry away from us. Also playing a convincing villain, hopefully. Off to a good start, hopefully it has some steam in it. I mean, S2 started out strong but kinda tripped over itself. edit: also Greg and Tamara being unceremoniously straight up  super quickly was hilarious.

Captain Mog posted:Just watched OUAT: Wonderland. The thing that bothered me the most: what the hell time period is it supposed to be? You see Alice in Victorian London as a child, who then vows to convince her father that Wonderland is real. Then, a presumably short amount of time later, she's a fully grown teenager. So did she go back to Wonderland at some point? And if so, when? To make matters worse, we have the Knave guy waltzing into present-day 2010s Storybrooke and then going back to save Alice... again, in Victorian London? Huh? Did he time travel? I'm guessing the Knave of Hearts was somewhere that the curse brought him to Storybrooke or he found his way there somehow. Because unlike Jefferson/The Mad Hatter he is exactly sure of who he is (correct me if I'm wrong but I am kinda forgetting if Jefferson was cursed but then somehow remembered his daughter, etc.). Not sure how time works in the series but whatever, but yeah Victorian London with adult Alice. Maybe Alice is from a different version of Earth that's in Victorian London during our present time? Multiverse much?  winvirus posted:Apparently, Josh Dallas and Ginnifer Goodwin fell in love and are getting married or something: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20744536,00.html?v=desktop

Anyone been keeping up on Wonderland? IMO it's gotten pretty good and I really enjoyed the episode this week. Although it was pretty drat obvious the unnamed prisoner in the cage was the Sultan and Jafar's father as soon as he mentioned in one episode his father, the Sultan, cast him out. All we really learned here is was a bastard but it would've been pretty obvious by then. But still good. The guy playing Alice's father impressed me as well.

Macaluso posted:So I just marathoned the past 2 and a half seasons this past week and I'm all caught up now and I love this show to death. I love Rumplestiltskin and Belle. I'm a little disappointed reading the OP though, does everyone here really view the show as a "guilty pleasure that we watch because it's so bad it's good"? Cause I think it's a legit good show. There aren't many bad things about it to me besides some of the CG not being great which isn't surprising.

ashez2ashes posted:It sure felt series finale-ish. It really felt like a series finale in a sense and honestly if you told me that was it and you cut out the WE HAVE TO GO BACK epilogue I would've believed you. But I guess the writers realized that Storybrooke had served its purpose in the story in S1 and was what was dragging it down in the second half of S2, so they decided to just throw it out, so props on them if that's the case. Plus the whole Rumple/Pan "death" scene was so goddamn vague and ambiguous (did he make his father the new dark one then? or is it a loophole because the one who wants to take the position has to stab him so ) that Rumple is definitely coming back no matter what. But I guess everyone from the Enchanted Forest remembered their time in Storybrooke so stuff like ridiculously over-the-top Evil Regina will only live in flashbacks.Also LOL at Hook getting his answer, Emma didn't love him as much as he thought he did (or her artificial memories getting in the way the same way cursed Snow and Charming didn't suddenly fix the curse)

Hopefully Rebecca Mader gets more than half a dozen episodes before being killed off like most of her other roles. Anyone catch/want to discuss Wonderland, since it also started back up earlier this week? Pretty sure it only has maybe 4 episodes left too.

Interesting choice to have Gold be all full Rumple voice even back in Storybrook. Definitely looking forward to this half of the season. Kinda glad they switched directions. Neverland was pretty drat good but it was starting to show signs of fatigue at points. Maybe the show is good for half season arcs instead.

The dagger disappeared during his death scene, I'd assume that's a big enough gap that they can write him as The Dark One or as The Non-Dark One Who Died And Came Back Without Dark One Powers.

Wonderland is getting super incestuous too but I always thought it was going to be one-and-done 13 episodes anyway. Won't feel too bad for it being canceled even though it is pretty drat good. Wonderland doesn't seem very drug-trippy crazy like most people were expecting and just mostly West Coast forests with mushrooms instead.

Oh no, anything but the fictional children's book character being black! The horror, the horror! Colour me stupid and giddy but I guess Zelena is going to collect a totem for heart/courage/brain which I'm interested to see where it goes.

Macaluso posted:I imagine most/all of the flashbacks this season will be dealing with the missing year. I'm fine as long as they can squeeze in Grumpy or Jiminy or anyone else once in a while without forcing The Charmings/Regina/Rumple into every week. But at the pace the show has been going at since S2, I'm guessing this is just not gonna happen.

Yes as much as I hate the Storybrook plot in S1, it's still right now my favourite season (though S3 is doing a drat fine job) since they actually did play with the whole cast and show us their crazy origins. Still wish they'd show us more.

The problem with shuffling some of the cast into the flagship show is that OUAT barely touches its secondary character anymore, which I kinda hate even though it helps move the plot.

ShakeZula posted:The Wonderland spinoff reaffirmed that the "rules of magic" prevent raising the dead. Though I don't know a) how much the main show cares about Wonderland's continuity and b) if the show itself has contradicted that rule already (outside of obvious magical siutations like Rumple).

Probably because Rumple was under control of the dagger she had so they had to GTFO and because there are more important things than a funeral when the Wicked Witch is probably coming to gently caress poo poo up/steal your fetus with her Dark One pet.

Surprised to see if there are supposed to be any consequences of this plot or Wonderlands, since I'm guessing it wasn't an accident that both Wonderland and the second half of this season of OUAT both feature orphaned children growing up to be magicians to break the laws of magic. Not that I'm complaining, just curious if there was more to go with if Wonderland got either extra episodes or renewed and how that would affect OUAT.

Irish Joe posted:I hope none of the flying monkeys they brutally murdered this episode were anyone they knew. Also kinda glad that Regina got her happy ending/curse breaker there. Was almost just on the cusp of expecting it so I was glad she got it and not Emma. Captain von Trapp posted:From a storytelling perspective it is pretty bizarre. It retroactively makes a lot of the previous heart-based deaths look unnecessary, and does so in the service of a plot beat ("oh no, Charming's dead!") whose dramatic tension is zero due to the fact that it's a flashback and he's alive in the present.

There's probably others, but I can't remember them. People actually taking that heart to meaning the anatomical heart that seriously? I hadn't heard about that until just a few posts ago.

Snow and Charming I really enjoyed in season 1, but I feel like they really wore them out over the course of the show (despite them being the main cast unfortunately). They still have their moments though. Rumple and Belle ... yeah after this I dunno. Belle is like way too naive for her own good, and though it's fun as hell to watch Rumple is the same old vengeful coward that still refuses to really change for her.

fork bomb posted:The shattering and green smoke thing was super weird. Rumple stabbed her with his dark one dagger so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. Well you have to kill the current Dark One with his own dagger for it to count, so I'm sure when he used it, it was probably as simple as just him stabbing her. I was also disappointed Emma didn't just dump her magazine at Zelena at the very least. Or that any of the Merry Men didn't at least get a single arrow off.

It's a fun change of pace versus vanilla OUAT, if you like the more classic adventure format. And 13 episodes means it ends properly. In rather glad it didn't get the chance to go on forever.

Robot Hobo posted:I do have a Wonderland question though. They repeatedly mention that Genies can't kill. It's one of the big, unbendable, unchanging rules of Genies, their wishes can't kill. Genie wish rules, and how they can't be broken, are pretty important to the plot of the series... So why did Lizard die? Did the writers really just forget? If you want to get really technical it's not in the 3 rules of magic in OUAT. The 3 can'ts are: make someone fall in love, bring back the dead, go back in time.

Oh right, I forgot about the genie specific rules on wishes. Though Alice's father didn't seem to freak out when she did return at the end, maybe he did and then remembered it all. Or I guess Alice is just better at making wishes.

I dunno at times it felt like Anna was just reading her lines out as fast as possible. If she was trying to do the "I said a thing, but wait I just realized something the middle of it" schtick she has in the movies, she needs just a little work. Felt off in a few scenes.
