Thanks for getting this started, Josie.

Looking forward to find out more about the Knave's backstory.

[KeepThisaSecret]

This episode will be interesting. I'm looking forward to the Under Wonderland parts and Robin Hood

Loved tonight's episode.

I knew it that Anastasia was going to be the Red Queen. Can't wait to
see more of Anastasia/Will's story line and what happened in their
relationship.

Loved seeing Robin Hood in this episode. Hope we see more of him.

I liked that ''beast'' that was holding Alice/Will hostage. Was upset that Jafar killed him.

I hope Jafar knows Rumple, especially after he said "Magic Comes With a Price" in the episode.

I loved the Red Queen/Anastasia being part of Will's story line. Can't wait to see more of their back story and what happened to their relationship.

I was hoping we'd actually see Kristen Baur Van Stratten's Maleficent in this episode, and was disappointed when it was just her voice.

Other than that, I really enjoyed this episode.

I was not in any way expecting Will's Anastasia to be The Red Queen, and without more information, it seems a little bit on-the-nose to me. Cora being the Queen of Hearts worked because we were introduced to her as CORA before we found out she was the QOH, and were able to understand her a little bit.

Cyrus consciously manipulating Jafar and The Red Queen was a great bit of insight into how well he knows and understands Alice, and was a great way to counter-point her resourcefulness and what she said about learning that resourcefulness from him.

I also really liked the design of the Bandersnatch and their interpretation of the creature/character of Grendel, and felt really bad for him, both when we learned his story and when Jafar killed him.

BTW, does anybody know why the show isn't airing next week?

[DR76]

This was actually a very good episode. Very good.

Most ABC shows are not airing new episodes, next week.

After seeing more of Robin Hood . . . I don't think he's suited for Regina.

Why not?

Care to elaborate on why, exactly, you don't think he's right for Regina after seeing this episode?

Keep in mind, BTW, that we more than likely saw him in these flashbacks at a point before he fell in love with Marian and stole Rumple's wand, and AND before Tinkerbell's spell identified him as being the person who could help Regina move on from the heartbreak of losing Daniel.

I'm sorry, but I don't see the magic. I just cannot imagine this guy with Regina. Call it instinct or prejudice. I just don't see it. I hope, for Regina's sake, that I'm wrong. He just doesn't seem like her style. And he comes off like a rougher version of Charming. And that's not reassuring to me.


As for ABC not airing new episodes next week . . . I have no idea why they are waiting two weeks to air new episodes. However, I noticed that only new shows like "ONCE UPON A TIME IN WONDERLAND" and "AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D." are waiting two weeks.

I think that was a good episode. Not my favorite but I enjoyed it.

I'm so surprised that Anastasia is the Red Queen. I was hoping for some RQ/Knave connection at some point and I wish I knew it would be Anastasia. Emma Rigby looks beautiful as Anastasia. I take it Jafar doesn't know all this? From the looks of the Red Queen, she seems surprised he's with Alice. Looking forward to know what happened and what changed.

I like the "Forget-Me-Knot", very interesting. At least now they know the Rabbit is double crossing them. I'm loving Alice/Knave's rapport more in this ep. And good backstory on the Knave with Robin Hood.

Grendel was scary but I felt bad for him when Jafar killed him (I saw that one coming). I also knew that Cyrus misled the Red Queen & Jafar. And although he's still held prisoner, those two will figure out how to dish more info on him on how to get Alice. The Red Queen got it right though: as long as it involves Cyrus, Alice will use up her wishes. But Alice is clever so I still think she won't use up her wishes no matter what.

I wish we got more of Maleficent, the character is interesting. I'm iffy with the Catterpillar. Not really feeling him right now (must be Iggy Pop's voice).

I loved the episode

And I'm so happy that Red Queen is Anastasia. I was so hoping that she would be

[sourburst]

^ It was kind of obvious. We've been discussing who it was the past week or so and she crept up a lot. >.<

I can't believe they're waiting two weeks. I finally get a week of and I have to wait 2 weeks for episode 4? That's annoying!
