Once Upon a Time in Wonderland 1x02: Trust Me [a.k.a. Bloody Hell]

Oct 18, 2013 16:05

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 felt so sorry for the turtle! And when she asked about slaying dragons: wtf, some dragons are good! Why is it a default reaction to a dragon that it should be slain? T_T
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!

I missed the dragon bit on my quick scan this morning.

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)

She asked Cyrus if he'd ever slain a dragon. XD He was like: Yeah, don't recommend it though. Poor dragon. T_T
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. :((

Yeah, they fridge guys waaaay less often, but I'd say Regina's dude from her pre-evil days was pretty much fridged, wasn't he? What was his name? Richard? And OUaT did kill Sheriff Graham pretty early on. Not sure if he counts though, really. His death didn't seem to motivate Emma all that much throughout the rest of the season.

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

istne_pieklo October 18 2013, 13:58:59 UTC

Daniel. And yes, I haven't thought of him. They even revived him later to kill him again! XD
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.
