Shot in the dark, as the show's on hiatus and the thread's probably dead now, but do any of you know a good episode to snatch a nice, clean screencap/shot of Henry's Once Upon a Time book? I have a family member who promised to make me an ipad cover with whatever I chose as the image in the front and I'd love to be lugging around that book. But all I can find on a quick google search is a pretty small image and a lot of slanted screencaps.

I would just poke around in the first handful of episodes if I were you.

Just marathoned Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. I have to say, you don't really need it to watch Once Upon a Time, but it really helps round out Will Scarlet's story. I saw this past season of Once Upon a Time and didn't really get why Scarlet was there. I mean, we already have Robin for a thief with a heart of gold, why add another guy, whose role in the classic Sherwood Forest tales amounts to just another Merry Man and a copy of Robin, and a pretty lame, albeit funny one, at that? Wonderland answers why, gives you a reason to like the idiot, and adds more depth to his words in Storybrooke. Now I kind of look forward to learning more about him.

Watching wonderland now, this happens during season three? I just saw Robin Hood with the correct actor so I figure it's the first half? Edit: I'm on episode 10 and I'm really not liking the genie guy. I don't feel the chemistry with him and Alice at all, she has more with Scarlett. I know there are a few episodes left so it may change but he's kind if a tool. Edit 2: ok less of a tool. I agree I now like Will Scarlet much more but how did he end up in Storybrook both times and where is the Queen? And time travel a little bit visiting Storybrook? I feel like I missed something. Then again with this show that is common

Somewhere in an interview, they said Wonderland (apart from the wedding) happened alongside season 2. The storm when Rabbit visits Scarlet at the diner is the one when the Wraith was summoned to kill Regina. As for him appearing in Storybrook the first time BEFORE Wonderland begins, it mentions 1st episode he asked Rabbit to dig him out of Wonderland; Rabbit thought to escape the debts of Caterpillar, real reason to avoid being reminded of the Red Queen. The writers have also mentioned that the Victorian era Alice originates from, where her insane asylum and father live, coexist with Storybrook's time. It's another world; the writer's didn't want to be bothered with time travel, so they just created it as a separate world. Now, we know the Knave has his heart this last season half, otherwise the Shattered Sight spell wouldn't have affected him. But, in the Wonderland book, he stares at a picture of the Red Queen as opposed to flipping around for a picture of the White Queen. Meaning, most likely, the events of Alice getting married to Cyrus and creating the book, or Anastasia turning into the White Queen and Knave into White King haven't happened. So I'm guessing it's between that time that they beat Jafar and Alice getting married. What I want to know is what the Scarlet lost, why he was digging around. Obviously not his heart, reasoning mentioned above AND his quite impassioned speech to Robin about love. Pan Dulce fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Jan 14, 2015 |

The creators have been pretty clear that they are going to explain how he got there and there have been several indications, both thematically and timeline-wise, which indicate that it's post-Wonderland. It comes from people who are only watching the show and trying to piece things together directly from the narrative hints that we are given. The writers have given more information in interviews (see above post), but not everybody is paying that close attention to everything the writers say. I'd actually like to read that interview myself if anyone has a link on hand, but I'm not dedicated enough to go searching for it right now. Maybe later, when I have more time to devote to figuring this show out. The thing about this show (and I love this about it) is that they give a lot of hints about what has happened and when, but the viewer really has to pay a lot of attention because they're very subtle. I call it Twice Upon a Time sometimes because I usually watch each episode twice as it comes out to find the little hints and quips that I missed the first time. Wonderland, on the other hand, I might eventually watch again, but have better things to do than sit through it just to look for hints. Someone who liked it more will surely catch more of the subtleties. I would say that IF it was the writers' goal to have the majority of viewers figure out that Wonderland happened alongside season 2 (and not alongside season 3 when it was aired, which is more common for spin-offs) based solely on what we've already been given, then they failed at making enough clear connections between the two. But I suspect that wasn't necessarily their goal. I think they mean for it to become gradually more clear as Will is incorporated into this season. The timeline is, as usual for this show, another mystery to guess at... although it's a great deal more confusing because it's a spin-off and that brings so many more challenges because they have to work against assumptions viewers have and take into account the disparity of knowledge between viewers who watched it and those who didn't. It's basically optional content for people who already like Once. It's totally unsurprising to me that it didn't get a whole lot of people interested, since the audience was already very limited, and it seems to be the general consensus that it started off really slow. I suspect that the main writers for Once didn't get as involved in Wonderland until closer to the end. The quality of writing for the earlier half of it just wasn't as good. I personally found it very hard to watch the earlier episodes of Wonderland because I felt like I could never be high enough for it to make sense. But not in the good, shroomy way that Wonderland is supposed to be. It was a failure of setting the scene more than anything else. I expected Wonderland but what I got was Aladdin. Which could have been fine, for this show, IF they had really made the setting feel enough like it was actually Wonderland to balance out the strength of those out-of-place characters. I really think that world-building is the number one weakness of the Once writers in general. Storybrooke is great, but Misthaven didn't even get a name until season 4. It was just sort of a random forest with magic, and nothing specific to distinguish any of the places within it. It's worked well enough for a while, because it's a character-driven show and having some mystery to the enchanted forest served it well for a while, but it's really getting to the point where the world itself needs to be developed more.

How about this story of stupidity to keep us warm during the hiatus? It just dawned on me yesterday while watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates with my son that our Hook calling Gold "Crocodile" in fact is part of canon. Only took me four seasons and a show on the Disney channel to make the connection!

Here's some other Easter Eggs you may have missed: Regina has an apple tree because she used an apple to poison Snow White. Belle is the titular Beauty from Beauty and the Beast and she is/was dating Rumpelstiltskin who is, by all accounts, a beast. Elsa letting go of her anxiety is a reference to the song "Let it go" from the Disney cartoon Frozen. Ursula should feel at home at the aquarium because she is actually a giant squid.

So, just putting WAY more thought into this than the creators of the show and its subsequent writers probably ever did... But what are the mechanics of "True Love"? Apparently, it's drat rare, if the strands of Charming and Snow create a huge drat powerful spell, not to mention the Savior that defies a lot of rules (heart stealing and curse breaking among them). Lord knows every bad guy, from Rumpelstiltskin, Cora, Regina, and Zelena all laud their particular relationship and it's markedly True Love and products thereof: Emma and baby Neal. So... are Cinderella (Ashley) and Prince Thomas (Sean) true love? Is Ariel and Eric? Hell, pixie dust shows Regina that Robin's her "True Love." Does True Love deny previous loves? Like Regina's Daniel or Robin's Marian? Furthermore, True Love is supposed to be able to break any curse. We see that with Snow and Charming and, in Wonderland, with Anastasia and Will. So... why does Emma's kiss break the Woodsman's curse, but not her perspective on the whole town being a bunch of fairytale characters? Not to mention, and just spoiler tagging in case you haven't read the comic "Shadow of the Queen," which is apparently canon, Snow hints that the Woodsman is Red's True Love and Red blushes and nods and the Woodsman just kind of stoically accepts it. Was Emma's True Love the Woodsman or could she break it because he loved her, or just because she's a curse-breaking, product of True Love, Savior? Do you have multiple True Loves? That why Henry get a True Love's kiss from both his moms? So why is it still so drat rare?

Not reading this thread right now but I've almost finished season 1 and this show is SO GODDAMN FRUSTRATING AND SLOW but I can't help myself I love it. It's basically a 201x soap opera with good production values and I want to hate it and the fact everyone cries practically ever goddamn scene but even so... Emma is very tiring (just suck it up and deal crybaby, her not listening to the evidence in front of her is extremely frustrating) Henry is cool Rumplestiltskin is entertaining Regina is a bitch. gently caress her. So I guess it's pretty good if I'm gettin MadAboutTVCharacters. Edit: I do have a question though, when should I watch the spinoff?

About halfway through season 3 is when it aired. I think it's probably fine to watch it at the end of season 3. It's not particularly good in my opinion, although it gets a little better toward the end of it.

I had a similar problem early on - I watched the first half of season one when it aired, but then just started to lose interest. I binge watched it all over it again before the beginning of last season, and it went much better as it got further along. It's a nice change from some of the other stuff I watch which tends to be a bit heavier, Mad Men, GoT, BB (when it was on) - much lighter fare. A palette cleanser.
