Once Upon a Time in Wonderland 1x02: Trust Me [a.k.a. Bloody Hell]
You know those jokes and parody gags about Jacob from Twilight being paid for every time he takes off his shirt on screen? Apparently Michael Socha is being paid for every time he says "bloody hell". Can't really blame 'em, I like this phrase a lot and these people clearly have no concept of "overused". That said, here's the weekly portion of
( Read more... )
I still find myself liking Alice, but I think that's mostly because I like her face and her hair and her outfit so I just watch her and ignore all of her Cyrus talk most of the time (and also, I only skimmed the episode this morning - will probably go back and actually watch the whole thing later - so I skipped over most of the stuff where Cyrus was directly involved)
and these people clearly have no concept of "overused".
Man, this episode had less 'bloody' abuse/overuse than the pilot, but can we stick to just one 'bloody hell/bloody whatever' an episode? Or two every other episode? Or we could use it even a bit more sparingly than that? It's one of those things where as soon as I noticed they were overusing it, it started to make me crazy.
I do suspect that the Anastasia in question is probably the Red Queen and I'm not looking forward to it. If that's the case, I might actually have preferred a Cyrus/Alice/Knave love triangle (but probably not)
Random question - was the White Queen introduced at all in OuAT ever? Or just Cora/the Queen of Hearts? Man, there are a lot of queens they could play around with on this show.
But mostly, yes, the Knave.

No, the Red Queen didn't appear in OUAT, but the books did have two queens: Queen of Hearts in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the Red Queen in Through the Looking Glass. Some adaptations make them the same character, but OUAT apparently decided to stay more faithful to the books. Idk if it's a good thing considering Emma Rigby seriously irks me.
I do suspect that the Anastasia in question is probably the Red Queen and I'm not looking forward to it. That. T_T They might still go with the love triangle though. But I suspect the Red Queen isn't beyond redemption, so we should probably get ready for even more annoying twu wuv talk.
It's one of those things where as soon as I noticed they were overusing it, it started to make me crazy. Ugh yes. Well, at least he said "buggered" in this ep. XD I was beginning to think "bloody [hell]" was the only British slang the writers were aware of. XD I wonder what Michael thinks of that.
I want to like Alice, I really do. But her fixation on Cyrus is so annoying! She's Alice in Wonderland, she should have epic adventures for the sake of epic adventures, not be obsessed with some dude from another story!

Oh yeah, I knew that the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts were separate Queens (in the books/many adaptions). I just wasn't sure if the White Queen had been mentioned at all in the main OUaT universe yet.
I'm still rooting for them to suddenly kill Cyrus during November sweeps. Then they can take a couple of weeks off, Alice can spend her time between episodes as a mourning zombie, and then we can move on to less boring plots. Like revenge. I'd rather have her focus on revenge, frankly, though it isn't really any less cliche and is only moderately less annoying. Come on, guys. Let's fridge Cyrus. (yeah, right)

Hahaha, I'm all for killing Cyrus! But can a genie even be killed? Also, he's a guy, smth tells me they don't fridge guys, only girls. :((

You're right though. You probably can't kill a genie. Ah well, wishful thinking!

Poor Graham, he was kinda nice... My main problem with OUAT is Emma tbh. I can barely stand her. I was hoping OUATiW would fare better in terms of the lead, but if Alice continues mooning over Cyrus, it's just as annoying.
