Red Queen, she definitely lacked the presence and sinister snark that Lana brings the Evil Queen, but it is not just that she looked like a little girl playing dress up. That could be chilling too as we saw with the playful cheeky tone Robbie Kay gave PP. She just did not seem scary.
I know this is just a little thing, but I wonder if the way they did her makeup could be contributing to why she didn’t come across quite as menacing as she could have? I was bothered a bit by her lack of red lipstick…she’s the freaking Red Queen, she’s all about wearing RED…but she’s got nude lips? And she didn’t have dramatic eye makeup either, like Lana always has. I think maybe they need to vamp RQ up a bit more, and then she’ll look more sly, and automatically sound a bit more menacing.
Hokey marshmallow joke.
It went on a bit, but I did love Knave’s line about dying like a smore. 😛
No mention of Knave struggling with cursed identity (did he not just wake up?)
Good point. Though I’m gonna guess that they just didn’t wanna have to explain all of that on the spinoff, because they’ve said they wanted it to be a show that someone who has never seen Once, would still be able to follow. If they mentioned his cursed identity, they’d have to do a whole bit explaining that for anyone who may not be familiar with the parent show, and that would go against their trying to keep them relatively separate. The Greetings From Storybrooke Podcast have roped in a friend of theirs who has never seen Once, to watch Wonderland, to see what a total newbie to the Onceiverse makes of it.
Reference to Hatter and his house.
Yes, I loved this! Though it made me miss Jefferson.
I didn’t want to start another thread but the overly convenient necklace Alice found on the ground (suddenly and so miraculously!) bothers me. Did the White Rabbit put it there?
That’s the impression I got, that he planted it there on his way in.
