Once Upon a Time in Wonderland 1x03: Forget-Me-Not [a.k.a. I Learned Something Today]

Well, then. It's been a while since I could so accurately predict something. Either I'm getting super-insightful, or this show is super-predictable. I suppose it's the latter.

Now that I've actually seen the episode, ugh, it was CGI heavy and ugh Anastasia, and man, I thought we were going to make it through this episode without six instances of "bloody" but then we got 3 or 4 in close succession right there in the middle (but at least they're coming in longer sentences now so less emphasized?).

On the other hand, I enjoyed this episode a lot more than the first two. That's probably because it involved way more Knave and way less Cyrus. And I think I'm interested enough in seeing the rest of this Knave/Anastasia backstory that I almost don't mind it anymore? Almost.

I realized the other day, after seeing a gif on Tumblr, that Emma Rigby was in an episode of Ripper Street. I don't recall her being terrible in that, but now that I'm thinking about it...her character was also in shock and hardly spoke for a good chunk of the episode, so that probably has a lot to do with it! That said, she bothered me less in this episode than in the first two. And really, if they toned down the lip gloss on her that would go a long way in making her seem a little less plastic. It wouldn't help with the acting, of course, but seriously, that lip gloss looks so wet and shiny and ridiculous.

Oh yes, the monstrous CGI strikes back. XD I don't even know why they're pushing so hard with the CGI; they clearly don't have enough budget for it.
Well, at least they started using other English words and phrases along with "bloody". XD That's progress!
I liked that this episode was more focused on the Knave - but I'd rather Anastasia wasn't involved. At least when she still remained a mystery, we were free to deny her existence. But as soon as they showed her in bed (face hidden and blond hair) it kind of became clear who she was. Argh! Less Cyrus on the other hand is always good. XD I don't think I mind Cyrus per se, but I do mind his super-sweet scenes with Alice.
I've only seen Emma Rigby in Becoming Human before and considering that she played a typical blonde school queen bee, she seemed fitting for the part)) I've also seen some OUATiW behind the scenes pic and she seems nice when she smiles and I'm sure she's a nice person, but ARGH, her acting is still non-existent!
