Promo:
Finally got a chance to see it. Good episode! I loved the scene in the “happy” forest. It reminded me of the poppy field in The Wizard of Oz.
Jafar looked so handsome dressed in clothes from Victorian England. And the scenes in the backstory with Alice’s father and new wife were so believable and sad.
I wonder what will happen if the knave puts his heart back in. Will he still love Anastasia, or will he fall in love with Alice?
This show is firing on all cylinders, and I’m eager to see what will happen next.
BTW, was “Darcy” a nod to Jane Austen?
Haha my ears perked up when “Darcy” was said. I really did feel for Alice when she returned home to a father who was embarrassed by her and by a stepmother who is ashamed and is desperate to have her out of the house. She didn’t have much choice but to go the madhouse, did she? Although a part of me says she would have rather gone out on her own or tried to find a new world out there rather then allow herself to be broken.
And I don’t care what Jafar wears; his jerry curls freak me out!
I don’t think the Knave will fall in love with Alice. I sometimes expect it to happen but he knows she is meant for Cyrus and he understands heartbreak as well. I thought there might be more to the Lizzie character. I would have liked her to stay around. Jafar tossed her in a hedge and we haven’t heard from her since.
One last thing, the Carpenter, smiling like a creep with his saw….eerie!!!
