Once Upon A Time In Wonderland Rewatch: 1x08 Home

Oh, I love the falling stars. It would be incredibly dangerous in real life, considering how huge and hot I hear stars are, but it just seems so romantic. And anything’s possible in Wonderland.

Alice and Cyrus are so damn cute.

The compass idea is so cool, as well. God, I love this show.

What the hell?! Leave them alone, random dudes! They were having a nice date.

How do they know he’s a genie? Have they seen him before? Maybe he should start wearing disguises. Or, if there was a kind magic user, they could put the spell that Rumple put on Regina in ‘2x20 The Evil Queen’ on him. Maybe make it so only he and Alice can see the real him. But I guess there’s no kind magic user around, except for Cyrus and I imagine that would require a carefully worded wish. It could be disastrous. Alternatively, they could just go back to the Victorian England realm.

I love Alice fight scenes. She’s so badass!

Oh no! She’s hurt!

Oh my God! That’s a lot of blood!

Alice: “Where were you?” Will: “Sorry, nature was calling.” Alice: “Really? What did it say?” Will: “Nothing you want to hear, trust me.” Lmao!

Cyrus go weee!

I wonder if actors really have to hang upside down for scenes like this. It must take hours. Is that even safe?

Oh my God, he heard it through the grape vine. Literally! This show istg. I’m stealing that one for my book.

Oh snap! Jafar’s got the bottle!

If only they had that accursed looking glass, then they wouldn’t have to worry about the White Rabbit’s loyalty.

I love that the White Rabbit’s wife is Whoopi Goldberg. Awesome! Love her movies!

Baby bunnies!

What is a baby bunny called? Oh wow! They’re actually called kittens or kits!! That’s wild!

Can’t Cyrus jump off that carriage and run? I guess he’s weakened from being upside down all that time.

Why’d Jafar break the genie bottle?!

Oh, was it a fake? Clever Anastasia.

Alice to the White Rabbit: “I do understand.” *Hits Will* Will: “Me too. I also apparently understand.” I love them xD.

Oh. She tied Cyrus up with a vine? Surely, he could easily break through that. It must be magic.

Bless Cyrus, he was so worried.

Rabbit! I know you’re worried about Alice but she loves him! Don’t warn him away from her!

Oh dear, poor Marcus Tremaine!Tweedle.

What’s Jafar gonna do with the Red Queen’s hair?

Oh snap! He messed up her castle! I can’t remember if he destroys it completely.

Scarlet Queen’s theme music is so unique and haunting. I like it!

Rabbit: “My bunnies! My little bunnies!” Aww. His kittens!

Anastasia and Cyrus have to be, like, the one ship I look at and feel seem incompatible to me. I just can’t see it at all. But that’s just me. For those who ship it, that’s awesome!

What is he doing with her hair? Oh yeah, sending a deadly storm to attack her. That’s some cool and unique magic! Dangerous though! Incredibly dangerous.

I’d love to go on wild adventures with the love of my life like Cyrus and Alice. It’d be so fun!

Why is she wearing that bandage over her dress?

But someone could accidently walk into their hide out. It needs a good protection spell as well.

Ooh, pretty fancy in there. Where’s the toilet? Is it next to the kitchen lol?

To think, it's been here all along, somewhere to belong, and a reason, a 'something' to believe in. I've finally found it, a place where I'm wanted. This must be how it feels to have a home.

If you know where those lyrics are from, you get so many cookies.

Uh oh, what’s Rabbit up to? Why didn’t he want to go into the tent with them?

Will bouncing on the bed, lol.

Come on Alice, chill out, girl.

Alice and Cyrus reunited at last!!

I wonder if the White Rabbit is the only rabbit who can make portals. Can his family? Is it a genetic thing or did he learn how to make them? Can only rabbits make them without a hat or can humans learn to/be born portal creators as well?

Let the rabbit make a portal and all get out of there, quick!

The tension in this scene is amazing!

You can tell it’s going against every bone in Anastasia to appear vulnerable in front of Alice.

She dropped the fake posh accent lol! Alice must be, like, wtaf is going on with this woman?!

The confession that she’s doing all this for Will!

Anastasia: “I would give up my crown. I would give up anything, everything just to go back to a time when you loved me.” Agh! It hurts!!

Quickly! Get out of there, guys!

She’s so desperate! I don’t blame them for not trusting her, but they don’t have much of a choice.

Oh my God! The lightning rebounded off Ana and hit Will!

That looks so freaking painful!

Oh snap! Alice wished that if Will died, she would die too. Nooo! Help them!

Oh man, but it looked like she was gonna die before Will. I guess that’s just how unpredictable wishes can be.

What does Anastasia mean when she says to an injured Will, “you don’t have eight days”? Why eight days specifically? Is it just a mistake with the subtitles?

Bless Will, uses his wish to end Alice’s suffering, even when he’s dying too. The best big bro!

Everyone’s freaking out. Where’s Will?!

Oh no! Poor Will’s a genie! Can this guy ever catch a break?

Oh no! His bottle’s gonna fall down a waterfall! That’ll be some ride!

Gosh, you’ve gotta be so, so specific with wishes or it can end in complete disaster. It takes your wish and can twist it in so many different ways. You could wish for a block of cheese and then a giant freaking hamster will turn up and bite your head off. Wild!

Loved that ep!

OUAT 1X08 - Desperate Souls

Holy smokes! Not counting today’s review, I’ve racked up 30 pages worth of content for this rewatch!!! For me - someone who has barely written maybe twenty pages total for everything OUaT in the two and a half years I’ve been here - that’s pretty neat!

So, without further adieu, let’s SOUL-der on and talk about this adventure, for I know you’re DESPERATE to read my thoughts under the cut!

Press Release Regina and Mr. Gold play dirty politics and take opposite sides when Emma runs for a coveted Storybrooke public office against Sidney. Meanwhile, back in the fairytale world that was, Rumplestiltskin tries to track down the ultimate power source in order to help his son avert the horrors of a meaningless war. General Thoughts Past The intro to this episode is phenomenal. Immediately, we’re thrust into the action and everything from the writing to the storytelling tells us what we need to know about the characters and the unique setting they’re currently living in. We feel the fear that they do and it’s intense. And what’s better is that sentiment carries on through the rest of the episode. The biggest draw it got out of me over the course of the episode’s runtime was this dual feeling of sorrow and pity as the child collector madde Rumple kiss his boot. It gives the murder at the end of the episode an extreme layer of catharsis. Fuck, I gotta talk about that scene between Rumple and Zoso. This scene sets the standard for so much of Rumple’s life going forward. I love that here is where we get to hear the line “all magic comes with a price for the first time.” While Rumple won’t know that true price for some time, he clearly gets the sense that he’s in for a rough time in this moment. For someone who is so often on this series on the other side of this equation, Rumple was new to the concept at one point too, and it’s so crazy to revisit that.

The theme of being wary of how one acts in times of desperation really works in this flashback, and that’s because of consistent character writing in accordance with their stakes. Present The intro here is fantastic too. While I didn’t like the drama from the last episode, the way that this scene handles it makes it feel better. It builds on it while keeping things subtle and at the same time, furthering the storytelling from the past’s segment’s intro through the bonding point of parenthood - whether either party is conscious of it or not. Emma’s conflict in this episode is so good. It shines leagues above what it was in the last episode because it’s actually having to do with characteristics and dynamics of hers that are actually established, and what’s better is that it melts together like a fine stew. We see right from the get go - as stated before - that Graham’s death and Emma’s subsequent grief has something to do with her desire for the job, but also, Emma’s rivalry with Regina and her desire to assuage Henry of his anxieties as best as she can without playing into (what she believes to be) his delusions of the curse. I like how the ending works too. While I don’t think the reiterated wham line works the way the writers intended it to, Emma’s victory isn’t taken from her and it’s not any less earned. However, the final twist is still able to be effective and prove that while a force against Gold, Emma is still up against someone always a step ahead of her. Both There’s a fascinating couple of moments in both the past and present that I want to touch upon. First is a cool contrast between Rumple and Emma. Rumple discusses the role that Bae plays in his life, while Emma talks about the role that she plays in Henry’s life. I like how those discussions come before our leads hear about possibilities/make decisions that completely alter their current standings in life. “I know how to recognize a desperate soul.” This line works really well in the case of the flashback, but kind of feels like a round peg in a square hole in the present. Emma’s not in a dire straight the way Rumple is, despite the internal weight of the conflict. I don’t consider it a major problem, however because while very much a wham line, acting as if it’s supposed to be the central theme of the episode when it’s not, it doesn’t take away from the good story from before that moment. I love how the general theme of this episode - while the forces of good never intentionally try to incorporate evil into their endeavors, sometimes it can’t be avoided - gets shown in two ways: both consciously and unconsciously. Rumple makes the choice to use darkness in the past and Emma - while not knowledgeable of it - plays into Gold’s game in the present. Emma and Rumple/Gold are fantastic foils to each other and seeing this kind of starting point build as the series goes on is really cool! Insights I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen the intro changed up! I like how it changes depending on the focus of the episode. It’s a good blending of a uniform intro and a recap. Man, I’m gonna be sad when we lose it, though I do miss the “Previously on Once Upon a Time.” I never noticed before, but Zoso’s magic is so distinct from everyone elses. It’s like a supersonic wave rather than the puffs of smoke we’ve seen both before and since this point. “That’s the thing about children - before you know it, you lose them.” I’d be here all day if I tried to unpack that one. Breaking a toaster is the weirdest way to act out in anger. What makes it better is that we don’t see any sign of her attacking it or whatnot so how it got to be that way is up in the air and so much funnier for it! I wonder how a town charter was created. Why would Regina build a balancing system into her curse. Headcanon: Gold used his “please” clause to make it so. I take issue with the duke for not saying “Did you teach him how to run, RUNplestiltskin?” How DARE you pass on that beautiful pun opportunity? “If they take him away, I will truly become dust.” *Cuts to the Season 7 finale* Apparently, that was quite literal. Why can no one identify each other in the flashback? The Duke doesn’t recognize that the beggar is Zoso nor Rumple once he’s become the Dark One! I love how as Rumple and Bae are preparing the lanolin, we get to see hand movements that mirror Rumple’s once he becomes the Dark One. Archie, mate. Speaking from my experiences with a certain blooper reel, you might want to spend a good few seconds practicing the candidate’s names instead of your intro ;) Then again, your public speaking on the whole is just a mess. Practice your finesse. “I can’t beat Regina - not the way she fights.” Regina’s not the one fighting dirty at the moment, or less so: Gold is. Why say a line like that? You gotta wonder, were there ever plans to expand on Zoso’s points about Baelfire or were the writers aware that he was only saying that to get a rise out of Rumple? “You have to tell me what to do.” Oh he will, Rumple. He or Nimue, probably. Damn, I wish we could’ve seen that first night by the Dark One’s vault. Are there fanfics out there for it? “Glass. Swan.” Wow, ship names and hindsight makes that sign hilariously awkward! XD It’s weird how seldom we see blood on Rumple’s dagger. You would think since it’s a weapon, we’d see it more. I don’t know if it was a conscious choice on the hair stylist’s part, but Rumple’s not only blinded by his own ambitions of power in the final flashback scene, but also by his hair! Awww! Emma brings a picture of Henry into her office! I bet she got it from Mary Margaret. The way that Henry’s positioned makes it look like a school photo and she seems like the kind of teacher who would want to keep a record of her old students like photographs for sentimentality! It’s so cute!!! “You knew I’d agree.” I think she’s talking about agreeing to Gold’s initial campaign proposal? Otherwise, this line makes no sense. Arcs The power struggle against Regina - This was a major peg being taken down from Regina, and it was set up very well with Emma being positioned as deputy, which in turn was built off of her skills, and culminated here in her being elected sheriff. Through this moment, we see not only a shift in Emma, but one in Storybrooke as well. While still prone to falling for gossip, the townspeople respond to courage and we finally get to see the impact that both Regina and Gold have had on the town by how people respond to someone standing up to them. Still, going forward, Emma and Regina’s dynamic will in a much more delicate - and much more interesting because of it - place. Gold and Emma’s deal - We only get a brief mention of it here. I wonder what Gold had in mind for Emma’s favor before learning that he needed her help to find Bae outside of Storybrooke. At the very least, we know it wasn’t half of a pastrami sandwich. His loss though. Pastrami’s delicious. Favorite Dynamic Rumple and Bae. I think that the simpler characterizations of Rumple and Bae was a good way to go in this episode, with Rumple as cowardly as we’ve come to expect and Baelfire as brave to a fault. It - partnered with the parent-child power dynamics - makes for a very easy to understand, yet still nuanced conflict. Rumple comes off as more worldly, but still frustratingly stubborn and cowardly while Bae comes across as braver certainly, yet naive too. Rumple’s not wrong when he tells Bae that the call to fight in the Ogre Wars is a call to death, and it conflicts with a lot of our sensibilities that it’s honorable to die in battle. I just love as well how Bae’s faith in Rumple falls as he learns more and more about his father’s past. You can just see the lack of belief when Rumple tells him that his mother is dead, and you have to wonder what Bae’s resolve would be to the events of the end of the episode had that encounter with the Duke in the forest not occurred. But even still, while there’s a noticeable yet slight loss of trust, there’s no love lost, and that helps make the final piece of the flashback all the more tragic and give the audience an insight into what Zoso’s last words to Rumple end up truly meaning. Writer Now here’s the Jane Espenson I know and love in full form! It’s weird that with a more complex theme, she manages to tell a story leagues above her last one’s flashback in terms of quality. It makes me think of an advanced computer science professor that had to teach entry level Web Page Design class I once took. What works in this episode - as did work in the present day section of “That Still Small Voice” is an understanding of stakes. Rumple’s actions get more desperate and Emma’s decision whether to tell of the true reason for the fire get more complicated as higher stakes are revealed to these characters and build on their already present characteristics (Ex. Rumple can’t just take control of the Dark One because he’d be terrified of owning him as a slave, so he has to become the Dark One), whereas in “That Still Small Voice’s” flashback, there was no reason for Jiminy to jump to condemning his parents to a fate worse than death when he’s already conflicted about leaving them because they’re old. Here, the handling is done so much better. Rating 10/10. This episode works really well. I won’t repeat myself too much, but we’re given not one, but two very nuanced and complicated stories to work with and the characters are faced with likewise decisions. Before we end off, I’d be remiss if I didn’t talk about Robert Carlyle’s acting because this man is a star here. He displays this insane range throughout his time on the series, but this episode may be one of - if not the best - depictor of it. We get to see his cowardly side, the first bits of madness from being The Dark One, and his more manipulative tendencies in Storybrooke. It’s all conveyed flawlessly through his voice’s tone, body language, and facial expressions. What’s better is that the use of props, costumes, and makeup come together alongside his acting to enhance every moment of screen time he has and show the contrast between his dynamics across the worlds.

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()

Sorry! Not my deepest analysis, I know, but I hope I conveyed just how much I enjoyed the episode! Sometimes, it’s hard to explain what makes something good, but I hope the more comedic “Insights” segment was enough to entertain. Thanks again to the fine folks from @watchingfairytales for putting this project together!

The firemen are here. It’s not like we were really in danger. Fine. Next time I’ll just...you know what? Next time, I’ll do the same thing, and the time after that, because that is what decent human beings do. That’s what good people do.
