GENERAL: For an episode taking place in Wonderland there was little to no Alice! And the episode was much poorer for it. Honestly, most of this hour was just bad, apart from some clever one liners. Very disappointed with this one since I was really looking forward to an Alice adventure.
5.5/10
LIKED
–“I tend not to trust people who tie me up and drug me.”
–“This is Alice of Wonderland….and other places.”
–“I may not have magic here but I have a handy baseball bat!”
–“Oh that’s cute. You think I’m going to villain monologue for you?”
MIXED
–Drizella just stands there while a mirror falls on her instead of moving out of the way or using magic! But Alice was cool dropping the mirror on her.
–The Lucy/Jacinda moment at the house would be sweet if they hadn’t seen each other like every single episode?
DISLIKED
–Holy plot spaghetti, Batman! In the first ten seconds we learn that Alice is infected with some sort of dark magic inside her heart that prevents her and Hook from touching and apparently can transfer to other people?! I know exposition is coming but good lord that was a lot all of a sudden.
–Really? Henry is listening to a song called “Bizarre Love Triangle” when he meets Nick? *rolls eyes* That’s a little on the nose, even for OUAT.
–More unneeded plot spaghetti through exposition with Ella’s sad family tale. Show me Ella’s life, stop telling it to me! It’s not helping bolster her character.
–Honestly, the Ella/her mother/the curse stuff would be more powerful if Ella wasn’t such a drag of a character (also if they would SHOW us this stuff!)
–Curse of the Poisoned Heart. Okay then, sure.
–How is Drizella already a powerful sorceress, capable of casting curses, and leading people down rabbit holes when it was literally YESTERDAY (for the characters) that Drizella killed the Prince???!
–Instead of falling in love slowly over time, Henry and Ella have a necklace do the work for them! Geeeeeez, come on.
–“As much as I want to go to SB to get help, we can’t do that and they can’t know we’re here!” Because…..??????? Oh right. The whole cast quit a year ago.
–Nick is Jack? Jack a giant killer? I mean, sure why not! EF 1.0 had Jacquelyn (my poor namesake) and now it’s Jack!
