This made me chuckle :). I don't know if I'd be more okay with the hand being not cursed but filled with frat boy evilness or the hand being actually cursed. Maybe it's just brimming with rage from being cooped up in a jar for 300 years? It could all be in Killy's head, but then rumple put some different kind of curse on it that makes Hook his temporary helper? I don't know. In the interview Colin makes it sound like it's just Killian thinking his hand is cursed, but then Bobby's all like "he dun goofed." So it's sort of contradicting statements? As for Belle, if she does find out about Killy getting his hand back, I'm sure Rumple will just tell her that he gave it back to make amends to Killy and did it all from the goodness of his heart. He and Killy are bffs now.

I would love for the other characters to make an appearance, especially Jafar and Ana. I loved Wonderland start to finish. I know some people think it started slow, and that's fine, but the pace never really bothered me. The cgi wasn't too much of problem for me either. it was part of the show's charm and it was to be expected because they probably had an even smaller budget than the main show (or all of it was spent on advertising for the premiere. It doesn't take much to make me happy (i love ridiculously cheesy things:aka the hallmark channel, Because they just make me smile). I'm not ashamed of loving this show to pieces. it had it's flaws, but the main show does as well. The pace picked up by episode 4/5, which is 1/2 episodes past the "3 eps then drop it" mentality that some people go by when picking up new shows. I personally though the cgi got better near the end, or at least felt like they didn't rely on it as heavily in the back half of the season. But maybe I'm remembering it wrong since it's been months since I last saw it. I thought the story was well handled, and here was a clear goal in mind for the end. Things actually happened in each episode that progressed the story towards its finished, which is where I feel Wonderland sort of eclipsed Once at the moment. I think Once was taking on Neverland during that time, and there was a lot of walking around in circles. I loved Neverland to bits, but it needed to be slightly better paced. The middle episodes of the half season format tend drag a little in my opinion. Onward to the characters: My heart just wants to explode from all the love I have for these characters! It's funny, because I never expected myself to get so attached to these characters. I liked having a smaller core cast. It worked to their advantage. How would I describe them??? It's like when you are in school. Depending on how things got shuffled from semester to semester, ( or trimester in my case) you could end up in a class of nearly 30 or in a class of 10. Wonderland was the class of 10 and Once is the class of 30. A smaller class is far less chaotic, there's a far greater chance of having deeper discussions about subject matter, you get to know your other classmates better, typically get to have more fun, and the atmosphere is totally relaxed. Basically it was like having a mini family in school of all places. That's what the Wonderland cast felt like. I didn't really realize how much they had grown on me until I found myself literally crying tears of joy during the finale. And yes, I am admitting to bawling like a baby. I'll get to talking about the finale at a later part though. I'll go into more details about the rest of my feelings for Wonderland and the characters in a later post, (I'm taking a short shopping trip), so hopefully it won't take too long. And sorry for the long school comparison mumbo jumbo. And sorry for the feelings explosion! I'll be back!

I don't know how that'd make me feel. Knalice is kind of the "one Brotp to rule them all" in the Once universe, at least in my opinion. Good luck recreating that. I guess we'll see how the rest of his episodes go. I feel bad for saying it, but think he'd be better used as a 1 season character, but I think that's due to me watching Wonderland. Every time I see him I think of how he should be living it up with Anastasia instead of being sucked into another adventure. And I also worry about the number of regular cast members; I'm surprised the belle fanatics haven't gone ballistic on him and I kinda feel bad for Sean.

This kind of fits with one of my biggest wishes for the show. I've always imagined that the original Dark One would be the one and only Horned King from the black cauldron. He'd totally fit the 'evil just because I can' angle and I think he would rock as a SERIES finale villain. They can dedicate a whole season to him as the big bad. That or possibly the mysterious black fairy.

What does every one think of Socha's status as a regular character? He's a regular character for season 4, but do you think he'll stick around for future episodes beyond that? Or do you think he'll be a regular for just a season and then he'll be sent on his merry way to live out his happy ending by the end of 4b?

This show is going to rock! I love how so many recognizable names are guest starring on this show. Galavant is going to be one of the shows that you have fun trying to point out all the cameos each episode like you're playing 'I spy' or something!

Sweet! Maybe I'll give it a try tomorrow. I've tweeted adam about the wonderland timeline a couple of times but have never gotten a response. :( maybe someday I'll be lucky enough to get a response from him. Anyways, i don't mind Will being all "I'm a thief," it just felt a little too "in your face" to me. However, if this is a pre-Wonderland adventure Will, i look forward to seeing him show up everyone on how one should act when he or she is heartless, 'cause I think Socha nailed that aspect.

I'm anxious to see what happens with Zoso. I'm actually hoping that this sorcerer's apprentice thing doesn't involve The Dark One's origins because then it messes with my one of my headcanons/greatest wishes i want to see come true on this show (that will never happen anyways). I think I like Zoso more as the Dark One than Rumple. He was just so.....enigmatic.

I thought Robbie played Henry well enough. Where as with Jared as Pan I just sort of giggled when he tried to be menacing. I feel sort of guilty. Actually, now that i think about it, i giggled at Pan!Henry too. I love this show. It makes me smile!

I was one of the few who watched Wonderland :) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although I'm very easy to please when it comes to tv shows. I loved the Knave in Wonderland. So far he is acting more like he was at the beginning of Wonderland than at the end. Maybe he's just disguising his true feelings about whatever is going on with him. It could be a coping mechanism sort of like Killy's extra showy pirate behavior. But then again, has it actually been canonically established that the current events are taking place after Wonderland but before his happy ending? Slightly off topic (please forgive me): Can people still post on the Wonderland boards? I just want to double check, because now that I have finally joined a forum, I wouldn't mind sharing my thoughts on Wonderland. Better late than never?

Thanks, ShadowFacts, good to know! I'm glad that the show hasn't forgotten the antagonism between the two. Bobby and Colin play off each other so well!

Loved this episode! I've liked them all so far! John Cho is awesome and Karen Gillan is great as Eliza! I loved the multiple break-away suits.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm super excited for the new episode, and can't wait to discuss it!

This is completely out of the blue compared to the current previous posts, but i'm just chiming in to say I love the rumple/hook dynamic and hope to see more of their relationship in the future (we can talk about non-romantic relationships here can't we? Newbie here, And I couldn't find an outline/general rules for this particular thread, so tell me if i screwed up)

*First of all, I'm brand new here, so if I do something wrong or stupid please tell me (I'm not very technologically adept)* Also, i am horrible at explaining things so...yeah. I like Hook's shirt; I don't care if it looks a little ridiculous. It looks like the kind of shirt that doesn't photograph well but looks much better on film. I don't think the flowery blobs will be as pronounced (? Don't know if i used that word correctly) on screen. I'm excited about the charming family scenes too! It frustrates me just a little to see that Killy has seemingly drunk some of the storybrooke kool-aid, but I'll give him a pass, because he's one of the few that have managed to avoid making a lot of stupid decisions ( it was bound to happen eventually). Killy's probably feeling insecure about his hand too. Glad to finally see Snow not holding onto the baby for at least a moment.
