Once Upon a Time in Wonderland 1x06: Who's Alice

[istne_pieklo]

I hadn't expected much from a heavily Alice-centric episode, but while there were things that made me cringe, there were also some things that I rather liked.

Man, I need a good afternoon to catch up on this show. I'm three episodes behind now. The hiatus next week will be good for me (it coincides with the long Thanksgiving weekend here. I assume that's why OUaT is skipping next week too, even though that airs on Sunday and not actually on the holiday) as I'll have a few days off from work and can hopefully catch up! Still enjoying reading your posts/recaps though. I'll probably end up coming back here next weekend and commenting on these posts all at once after I watch the episodes. You've been warned. ;)

Haha, I'll be only too happy if you come back to discuss the eps properly. ;)))) Obviously I have no life (and no proper TV-show to fangirl O_o))). But I'm beginning to think I like this show precisely because it's so idiotic. Otherwise I'd have to do actual meta on it. XDDD

Nooo, you can't stop watching. XDDDD This is such a wonderful show, I feel like a proper Mean Girl when I discuss it. XDDD Besides, Michael Socha. XD
They both have major issues, but the writers will just pretend that obsessive love like this is actually a good thing. This seems to be an alarming trend lately, and not just in these TV-shows. It actually reminds of Sylvie from BH and what Hal says about her thinking that her love would be enough to fix him. This is such a wtf-moment for me: it's like love is this universal cure-all. It's a nice but idealistic point of view. Why is it so freaking important for love to be some kind of a healing/fixing/life-altering power? Why can't it just be, idk, there?
LMAO, poor Cyrus. XD I don't think he and Alice should have sex any time soon. >_<
OMG, eleven? His dialogue is getting worse. That's alarming.
Will is a nice enough bloke at it is, so you can imagine what'll happen when he restores it: true love will lobotomise him as well. That's what I fear as well. You saw him in the previous ep:

I hate that scene too! And not just the fact that we're supposed to feel sorry for Hal but the parallel between Hal/Sylvie and Hal/Alex they're clearly implying there. I hate it when they (be it canon writers or fic writers) try to force Alex into this power-of-love stereotype. She's not there to save Hal, you morons! She's there because Hal caused her death! The Alex that I love is the one that snarks at him in the last eps of s4 and yells at him in 5x01. I have no idea what kind of a person Sylvie was but if she genuine believed she could change a centuries old vampire, she was a moron.
we'll probably find out that he's in love with Jasmine and that's why he wants to alter the rules of magic. To force her into loving him too. I'm afraid so. I'm trying to be hopeful because so far we know it was originally Amara's idea and we know Jafar has ambition in spades, so maaaaybe he's really doing it to be the coolest wizard on the block. Is it too much to hope for this? XD

I can't decide who the Bowie-esque valet is more in awe of: Jafar or her. He kinda sounds like he wants a threesome. yes pls!

Alice should always be high, it makes her cuter.

Anyone else imagine Bad to the Bone playing when Jafar recquisitioned that guy's suit? ;)) looool now I cannot unsee XD

this ep wasn't /entirely/ bad but my attention kept drifting.

[istne_pieklo]

Would be awesome. XD But alas, it's like Perth: either twu wuv or no sex. ;))
Haha, you're still LOKI'd? XD That's a much better place to be than OUATiW.
