I enjoyed this past episode, although it left a few plotholes (like why Jafar decided to fly off instead of killing off Alice's friends right then to get her to wish). I'm glad there are other genies instead of just one. I thought thewishbone endingwas pretty cool, actually.

I know this show is not as good as OUAT, but I like most of the actors and a lot of the ideas going on. I plan to buy the season set when it's released; Naveen Andrews alone would be worth the price. :P I enjoy his take on Jafar much better than the Disney film's.

I agree. This guy is great as Jafar. I'm glad they haven't done the angle of certain bad circumstances caused him to be evil and we sympathize for him. Although as The Dark One would say evil isn't born, it's created.

Anyone else think the Red Queen may be Cinderella's stepsister, Anastasia? I had thought it at first when her name was revealed several episodes ago, but didn't think that was the case at all then. But a combination of her mother and the logo having a coach like Cinderella's made me think of it again.

That's an interesting theory. It would make a lot of sense given the evidence

At firs I though perhaps Jafar wanted to have the rabbit dig him into Storybrooke to get the Hatter, however it appears that instead it will be Alice's home.

Interesting article in this week's Entertainment Weekly, suggests that "Wonderland" is only a one season show. In fact, Disney is thinking about only 13 weeks because the ratings have been abysmal and they have some better shows in the wings waiting for an opening.

I hope they give this a full 22-24 episode season so they can tie up all the loose ends before it is all over.

Yeah I hope they at least finish the season like you said with no loose ends.

And given the plot of the show, I'm not shocked it will be a one season show to begin with but it's nice to have some confirmation. The first couple episodes were underwhelming until the third episode of The Forget me Knot. It was in that episode that I could fully see it was a spin off within the same universe of Once Upon A Time epically when Robin Hood was shown in a flashback of the Knave/Will

I think the creators from the outset said it is a one-shot show, designed to be complete in one season.

Have the ratings been that bad? I follow Adam on Twitter and he does always mention the Once ratings and how good they are, but he never mentions Wonderland...guess that could be why!

I found it very interesting how anastasia's mother mentioned about her sisters. since cinderella briefly appeared at the beginning of ouat in wonderland, there might be a possibility that it could tie into cinderella's story.

So wait, Peter Pan is Rumples Father? Is anyone else starting to get tired of all these familial relations? Also the shadow seems to be not Pans?

Yeah Really

I hope Rumple some how get's out of that box. Also in the promo for the episode in two weeks, it says that Pan bleeds, and I hear Regina say that if he bleeds he can be killed. Immortal doesn't mean you can't ever die, as Rumple told Belle when she was Lacey.last season

ABC has released the original opening scene from the pilot. The original opening connected the show to the episode of Once Upon a Time where Rumple unleashes the Wraith on Storybrooke to kill Regina for imprisoning Belle (season 2, episode 1).

Thanks for posting. I'm surprised they're pretending this show still exists. Despite the low ratings, I really loved it and actually preferred it to Season 3A of OUAT.
