@PriceOfMagic: I get that complaint, I do but your key word there is potentially. In that it never happened. Tamara and Henry were never related, Neal never married her, never gave birth to a half sibling.
I would much rather have Tamara be RH’s daughter and not have RH be Regina’s new love interest but I don’t think the two are mutually exclusive and the more spoilers that get leaked out the more likely it becomes that it’s RH.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Oh HE I absolutely agree with you! He is a 300 hundred year old brain guy, but he was meant to be an 18 year old. And there is the squemish factor of the audience I mentioned. If he wasn’t cast as an 18 year old, then I may feel different (though Slurpeez brings up an excellent point about sides) but he was supposed to be a teenager who has been living in NL for a long time. It’s a problem.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Maybe it’s because I rather obsessed with it right now, but I more or less stand by the Alice/pawn = White Queen chess theory.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I find it really interesting that the White Queen has a daughter. I really need to go re-read this book! If we’re right that the end game for Alice is to go from Pawn to Queen, like a chess piece, then would she also be fighting for some sort of daughter figure? A lot of us are on the train that has the RQ, Alice, and Grace as related…
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I posted this on the relationship thread but I think RegalCat might task the audience’s patience. I *know* he does not look 18, that was a bad move on the casting department (maybe the only one they’ve made) but he was cast to be 18. I know we live in the 21st century and that this type of relationship is perfectly normal and happens a lot but I can’t see anything with RegalCat being anything more than Felix being stalker-y.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I think we need to take in the squemish factor when it comes to Felix.
He may look 26 and technically be 300 or something but he was supposed to be about 18. That’s a bit much for the audience to handle.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"*hysterical laughter*
RegalCat is very wrong.
It’s going to be RH but RegalCat would be worth it just for that mashup."He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"So, could Alice’s fellow white chess pieces be Aladdin, Jasmine, Abu, the Magic Carpet, the genies of the lamp, and the Sultan of Agrabah in a match against Jafar and the Red Queen?
Exactly! Not to mention any other WL characters that they want to incorporate into the show since they seem to be combining both Alice’s Adventures in WL and Looking Glass.
My grandad showed me how to play when I was a kid. Never stuck with it though, so I just know the basics.
If, in the finale, we don’t see Alice all up in the RQ’s face saying, “Check. Mate.” I’ll now officially be disappointed.
BTW, the Tweedles typically are on the side of the White Queen.
Good to know about the Tweedles! I think I am just predisposed to hate them.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Also think about this: along the way the Red side of RQ and Jafar will send out their own pawns and knights against Alice.
Possible RQ/Jafar team
–Cheshire Cat
–The Tweedles
–The Jabberwoky
–Iago (from Aladdin)"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Ok, I love this chess motif and now that I know how to play (like Jo) I think it’s going to come in a lot in OUATinWL.
We have several pieces on the board and several main characters. For the purpose of our discussion I am going to say the main characters are:
Alice
Cyrus
The Red Queen
Jafar
The Knave
The White RabbitNow what if those main characters correspond to pieces on a board, like so:
Alice = pawn (she is a pawn in Looking Glass) (also, it’s a metaphor)
Cyrus = I’m going to call him the White King. And he is being held by the opposite side
The Red Queen = The Red Queen. Obviously
Jafar = The Red King. I don’t know if this implies romance between RQ and Jafar but it does imply that he he is out to stop Cyrus and Alice from taking him, because in chess you win once you’ve checkmated the opposite side.
The Knave = Bishop.
The White Rabbit = The Knight. Now, the reason I’m putting knight for WR are this: one, animal motif. Two, have you ever seen a rabbit move? It’s somewhat erratic. The knight (horse) moves really oddly on the board, it can only move two up and one over or some combo there of. The WR is also the one who opens portals (moves strangly). Maybe a stretch but I’m going to go with it for now.So objective: check mate the king.
What we know from the preview is this: The RQ has somehow “captured” Cyrus (we know he is not dead). It is the equivalent of check, which comes before Checkmate. Alice’s job is move to across the game board (in this case I think the game board is the whole Onceiverse–so many many many lands) to get to Cyrus. She stars off as a pawn but once she has reached the RQ and Jafar, in WL, I assume, she becomes the White Queen just like a pawn becomes a Queen when it reaches the opposite end of the board.
We know A and E have said that first season of OUATinWL is an open and closed book, one whole story. So I think it’s a chess match. Get to Cyrus, check mate the RQ and Jafar and along the way we flashback to see character development and the adventures of Cylice before he was taken.*claps* Ok, next!
