Once Upon a Time in Wonderland

Damn episode you so twisty turny and whammy tonight.

Also does anyone else think its hilarious that Jafar and the Jabberwocky seem to be the only truly evil characters in the show?

I'm starting to expect to learn that the Caterpillar runs a loving orphanage as a hobby next episode.

The Caterpillar runs an orphanage with its' own funfair and pony rides, obviously.

I don't know why, but I feel like the Jabberwock (and I wish they'd get that right, THE POEM is "Jabberwocky", the creature is the Jabberwock), with the lounging around the cage and arguing with Jafar most of the time, is being wasted. I do want Cyrus to break the curse, and for Alice and Cyrus to be together, but I wish the Jabberwock would actually go after them, against Jafar's orders, rather than just brain-raping Anastasia.

I really hope that the mother lied to Jafar about about the genies rewriting the rules of magic just so he'd help her get her sons back. I sincerely doubt that's the case, but still... imagine Jafar's face when he'd find out XD

I hope Cyrus's mom lied to Jafar, too, but somehow, I don't think most of the people in Wonderland have the balls/ovaries to stand up to him. They're probably too scared of what Jafar could do to them or their families.

Seeing as how Cyrus mom is the one who taught him all his tricks and wasn't afraid of him ever until right after he betrayed her I doubt she was too concerned about that. Though it does make you wonder what her goals were once she could rewrite the rules of magic. Maybe free her sons an get revenge on the guardian at the same time?

But Cyrus's mom isn't from Wonderland... I'm a bit confused what you're referring to.

Anyway, it makes sense people in Wonderland don't stand up to Jafar- they didn't stand up to the Red Queen and Jafar is much more powerful (especially now that he's working with the Jabberwalkie).

Speaking of Jabber, does anyone else wish she wasn't dressed up as evil witch # 503? I think the actress is doing a really good job, but I wish they did costuming more like the guardian of the well. That would especially help with her fear shtick. I mean, if you had The Grudge girl all up in your face, talking about your greatest fears and worst memories, wouldn't you break down like the Red Queen?

The OUAT Costumers tend to fall into a lot of pitfalls by designing a new costume every episode and well... If the new season of OUAT is any indication, There's a reason we have "Regina 3.0" in fandom terminology.

They're VERY hit and miss.

Sorry Canid 117 and Randoma Nama-I hadn't actually noticed that Cyrus' mom wasn't from Wonderland proper. I admit I haven't been paying super close attention when I watch the show. Sorry for any confusion.

That's all that can be said about the most recent episode, really.

Oh yeah, except that it was so great to see Cora again!

I really like the Red Queen, so I'm pretty disappointed she's being fridged, especially after Lizard. That kiss was pretty heartbreaking, what with the spinning and fireworks, and her dazed, happy look afterwords. On another note, I'm liking Alice/Cyrus more and more.

And yes, it was nice to see Cora again.

Wow....So that last episode...Happened.

I mean I new The Red Queen was going to die for some time- actually since Cora started her whole "leaving your mark on this world" speech, I just didn't expect it so soon.

And now I kind of think they will break the Laws Of Magic just to bring back Anastasia.

On another note, it's nice knowing that despite how evil and twisted Amara and hell even what she is now...She still cared for her sons- enough to fight back against Jafar, even in staff form, in order to protect Cyrus. It makes me wonder how aware Amara is in her current form though- since she had no problem almost frying Alice a billion times despite her must having known she was Cyrus's true love.

Well. It's official. :(

You didn't notice them calling the next episode the series finale?

I'm not sure if I'm disappointed or not. I think the show has most certainly been improving with time, but it seems to me that they're wrapping up the plots well. Assuming the next episode is good, I can leave the show satisfied (as opposed to it's mother series which just gets me increasingly frustrated).

Any predictions for the finale?

I'm actually surprised that the show ended so soon. I actually thought that this show was going to run for another few seasons, but I was actually satisfied with the ending as all the loose ends got tied up, although I do wonder about Jafar possibly being released if someone happened to stumble upon the lamp that he got trapped in.

It'd require someone to want to release him (and I mean more than just wishing him free, because, according to Cyrus, that doesn't work), which, considering Jafar's personality, is unlikely.

Now that he's a genie, is he still bound by the rules of magic? Or can anyone who finds him just wish for literally anything.

Well, the water was returned and the Genies's curse broke- meaning that Jafar's powers returned to normal status.

I have to say....That was one hell of a finale. :(
