ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast
Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
Well, one name drew me in.
Robert Carlyle.
I was a big fan of his from Stargate Universe and thought about checking his new show out because of that. At first, when I saw the promos I was not really hooked, and to be perfectly honest. I was under the impression that the town transformed into the fairy tail world at night with the citizens becoming FT characters as well. Boy was I wrong
Even after the pilot I wasn’t completely hooked, but loved Carlyle as Rumple and decided to stay with it.
The rest as they say dearies, is history.
I actually preferred this to the pilot of Once. Once was still in it’s figuring out how to do this stage, and had some issues. Wonderland knew what it was going for and went for it.
Yes, the CGI was excessive, but it didn’t take me out of the story.
Love the characters so far. Alice is badass, Knave is snarky as hell( like me 😛 ) White Rabbit seems to be a bit sneaky and it’s hard to tell if he really does want to help Alice. Red Queen had some cool moments, and Jafar for the brief scene we got him in was awesome and sinister.
I don’t really have any negatives to say other than maybe a little overuse of the CGI but it’s not bad enough to diminish my enjoyment of the show.
9.0/10
It’s an interesting question. Â His is gonna be an interesting backstory.
Why he came to Wonderland (We know he was originally in Enchanted Forest with Robin Hood)
“How did he become the Knave?
What did he do to be so hated in Wonderland?
Why did he end up in Storybrook?(This is a big one IMO)
So many questions, and I’m pumped to find out.
Glad they’re not freaking out over it, and they’re are just laughing at it with us.
