Of course this was all in flashback here, but it was needed for back story. until she died, which choked me up a little (I’ll be honest… I never like seeing a pretty woman die).Ĭora appearing as the Queen of Hearts was expected, and she lived up to the menacing person she portrayed in the main series. The character of Elizabeth “Lizard” was odd at first, but a welcome sight…. We even had a little back story with Robin hood and his merry men, which was a break from the norm of the show. The White Rabbit, Caterpillar, The Bandersnatch, The Knave of Hearts (Will Scarlet), and Alice herself all had great purposes in the series and I enjoyed every moment they had on screen. There is a soft side to him, however, which keeps the human part of him real.Īnastasia/The Red Queen was an annoyance at first, but the last few episodes had me liking her. His portrayal and agenda echoed what is known of the character, and he is not limited by simple morals. Speaking of which, Jafar is one of the best villains on this or the main show to date. Now keep in mind that this genie, AND the Sultan, are NOT the genie and Sultan from Aladdin, BUT, Jafar is the main villain. Basically, they didn’t leave us hanging to wonder what happened, and they left it open to include the remaining characters in the main show at some point.Īnyway, so we have Alice being taken back to Wonderland to save her lost love, who is a genie. It DID however give us a good look at Wonderland and those characters, and they wrapped the whole storyline up. This should have aired at the mid season break slot of Once Upon A Time, but instead was on a different night where not many people tuned in. It really is ashame that this didn’t get renewed for a second season. Now we get on to Once Upon A Time In Wonderland. The episode with Ariel and Eric was satisfying, and seeing that the Evil Queen Regina took on the form of Ursula the sea Witch was fun as well. What took me by surprise is that at the mid season break, it finished up that storyline, so instead of one long season arc, we actually got 2 shorter arcs, but I think this was a good thing to keep the show fresh. Neil (aka Baelfire) however becomes the ultimate hero by sacrificing himself to save everyone. In fact, it is safe to say they are now heroes for season 3, and likeable ones at that. We also see a turn for the better with Rumple and Regina here, that leads to them being more heroic than ever. Wendy’s story arc is good here, and Peter as a villain works surprisingly really well. The reveal of who Peter truly is in relation to Rumplestiltskin really shows why Rumple is the way he is. The main villain here is Peter Pan and the Lost Boys. I’ll start with part 1 of season 3 Once Upon a Time. Yes, I threw Once in Wonderland in here because to me it is part of season 3 albeit on its own. There will be spoilers in here so skip to the end paragraph if you want my rating of both shows. I guarantee you will get so wrapped up in the characters and stories that you will not stop until you are caught up. First off, if you AREN’T watching Once Upon a Time, then you need to stop reading and start at season 1. There is a LOT to cover here, but I’ll make it as brief as possible. Review: Once Upon A Time Season 3 (& Wonderland)
