Never been a big fan of Pee-Wee but I guess if we only have to hear him it might be alright. It’ll be interesting to see what they do with the character so hopefully it exceeds my (now low) expectations. Was looking forward to it til I saw that but I’m sure they know what they’re doing.
As for the Red Queen I figured that’s what they meant because they are two distinct characters: Alice in Wonderland revolves around a deck of cards (which includes the Queen of Hearts) and Through the Looking Glass (the sequel) revolves around a game of chess with the red pieces and the white pieces. The Red Queen, the White Queen, and the White Knight are the pieces most often seen in portrayals of Alice. Glad they clarified it though for anybody unfamiliar with it or the assumption that they’re suddenly calling the Queen of Hearts the Red Queen – 2 totally different things.

MysteryKat25ParticipantAs much as I hate the idea of having to wait longer, at least we’ll a) have something to watch still (I’m going off the assumption that most of us will at least check it out and will most likely like the show) and b) less breaks later on so the majority of the season should be back to back!
As much as it’s nice to have the show back in Jan it always has award shows etc and now the Olympics to contend with so I’ll be happy if they extend the break to just running everything back to back later on, ESPECIALLY if we have something else in a similar universe to be following.
I think it’s been re-titled to Once Upon A Time In Wonderland but I’m hoping it’s in a similar vein to the main show so that we have that void filled while we wait for Once to come back. *fingers crossed*
It wouldn’t surprise me if it airs in the Once timeslot while Once is on hiatus for the winter but we’ll see. The way I’ve understood the show is each season would be a mini-arc so that could be really good if done well. Something nice and concise to keep our attention while we wait. 🙂
Also it will give them a better idea halfway through the season as to what is working with the fans and what isn’t. Not to mention more time for editing, special effects, etc which can only help the main show.
This is the perfect year to do this with as a test given the Olympics (and the pushed back Oscars) and I love the idea of essentially having a much longer season. We’d essentially have little to no breaks in winter (I’m assuming that an episode wouldn’t air actually on / near Christmas), and we’d hopefully get back to back eps Sept – May of Once, then Once in Wonderland, then Once…so summer would be the only dry spot! May – Sept is long but it’s the same as always and at least we’d have more material to go off of.
I know Once fills my HP void (as well as Lost etc) so perhaps OUAT In Wonderland will fill the Once void over the holidays. I’m going to be optimistic for now. New material in OUAT worlds is a good thing!

not in a gay way or anything. just that there are no guy friendships on this show. 😆
That’s cause they keep cutting stuff! I really wanted to see Archie & David hanging out at the Rabbit Hole in Skin Deep when the girls were having their girls night but it was cut apparently (I remember seeing a pic somewhere).
We’ve seen tinyyyy little bits of Charming / Gold but I’m totally on board with adding Hook to that! (though something tells me it would be more Charming / Hook than Hook & Gold getting along…
I love that picture of Josh & Colin though! Colin seems to really get along with the cast, seems like there’s always pictures of him hanging out with Lee Arenberg, and then there was all the CaptainFire stuff that he & MRJ were tweeting about them hanging out, and now there’s a pic of Colin leaning on Josh, so cute! *must keep breathing*
I just hope we get to see some of Colin’s charm transferred to screen soon so that others can see it and I really like the idea of him working with Josh (and hopefully Hook & Charming getting along better too…). Colin just seems like a fun guy to be around (and definitely isn’t hard on the eyes) 😉

MysteryKat25ParticipantInteresting find. Perhaps the others jump on Hook’s boat to chase after them and save Henry? Wonder where they’re taking him and why…

MysteryKat25ParticipantWhich begs the question “concerned about what exactly?”

MysteryKat25ParticipantLoving all the new stuff (and that certainly is an interesting tweet, I’m going with the lost boys on this as well) but gotta say I am SO sick & tired of all the Colin is leaving drama! These rumors have been around for forever and there is absolutely NOTHING to back it up!
Many people are *gasp* filming their last scenes of the season and *double gasp* headed home soon! It is totally plausible that he *might* be headed home and met up with his bandmates along the way but how does that spell doom and gloom for Hook? It’s the END OF THE SEASON, everybody is leaving soon! MRJ has been tweeting about his last day filming too…OF THE SEASON. Does that mean we won’t see him next year? No, so why must that always mean the end for anybody else who is done shooting for the season. If they had said that months ago it would be different, but this close to the end of filming? Give me a break.
People have different filming schedules. They very well could have completed whatever they needed him for in the first few days (In fact I think they’re on day 5 of 8 filming wise last I saw something). We’re just now getting confirmation that Archie is headed there and as pointed out we haven’t seen anything of the Blue Fairy yet. Sounds to me like they’re doing things in batches based on what they need when and where and people just have different filming schedules or are needed in different locations with different castmates.
No need to keep trying to panic the Hook-lovers (or any other character’s fans either – it’s annoying and cruel). It’s the end of the season, we should (& better) get a season 3, and I look forward to seeing everybody back next year *fingers crossed*.
Sorry if this pushes any buttons but I feel like we’ve been having the same conversation for months, making people panic for absolutely no reason about a character who actually is well-liked. He’s either not answering his fans enough on twitter (which he DOES do), or he’s broken a leg and hasn’t been seen in a couple eps so the world must be ending even though we’ve barely scratched the surface of his story. GIVE IT A REST ALREADY! No need to panic til we SEE a legit reason, on the show, to panic. Hook-lovers don’t go around wishing the constant demise of everybody else’s favorite characters, enough trying to scare us all!

Tonight a #OnceUponATime special enhanced version of Queen of Hearts. We’ll help you spot the “Easter eggs” #happyholidays
…. AND I thought we would have NO OUaT— reruns are better than nothing

.Queen of Hearts enhanced is tonight, Miller’s daughter enhanced next week, then a “special” of some kind, and then finally back to new episodes. Glad to see that Adam’s tweet at least implies there might be some interesting info and yes, reruns are better than nothing.

MysteryKat25ParticipantI think the Golden Bird has become the go-to text for pages of the book that we see so I’m not sure if they just realllly like that story or if it actually will lead to something. As for the picture I think that’s a new one! The pictures tend to give us a glimpse of what we might eventually see moreso than the text so great catch!

MysteryKat25ParticipantIt’s actually “Cap Man” – there’s a random guy who wears a cap and shows up in a lot of the episodes as a background extra, usually at Granny’s. They always joke that he might someday be important. (It’s from the Once Upon A Time Fan Podcast with Jeff & Colleen Roney).
I’m pretty sure it’s not Kurt though, as he should remember who he is the entire time and should be trying to run / find his son. My guess is he’s tied up in the basement.

MysteryKat25ParticipantI tried to look for it on the site and was coming up empty. Perhaps my quick scanning just wasn’t finding it but it sounds cute and definitely a RumBelle dress!
