I’ve had Alice in Wonderland in my head ever since the first episode. The title of episode 1×17 pretty much confirms my suspicion of it’s inclusion. The first thing I noticed that pertained to Wonderland was in the first episode, when Emma crashes into the SB sign and the book flips through pages, one of the pages has a picture of Alice (I think?) and the Caterpillar (you know, the one that uses a hookah). A more subtle hint at Wonderland is Emma (“Alice”) being brought to Storybrooke (“Wonderland”) by Henry (the “white rabbit”). Also Regina/Evil Queen is the Queen of Hearts, since she collects hearts.
A theory I developed on my own is that the Stranger is the Cheshire Cat. He sort of talks in riddles and in a roundabout way, never giving Emma or Henry a straightforward answer. Also, someone mentioned that he wears a lot of pink and purple in his scenes. I correlated this to my theory and Disney’s version of the Cheshire Cat is pink and purple!
