Once Upon a Time - Quite a Common Fairy

Needing help to find Peter Pan‘s (Robbie Kay) secret camp and rescue Henry (Jared Gilmore), and discovering Emma’s (Jennifer Morrison) map is doing nothing but leading the group in circles, Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) suggests going to Tinker Bell (Rose McIver) for help. However, Regina‘s (Lana Parrilla) past with the fairy, which we view in a series of flashbacks involving Tinker Bell being defrocked by the Blue Fairy (Keegan Connor Tracy) for her attempt to save the wicked queen, makes that a complicated proposition.

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland - Down the Rabbit Hole

After an opening featuring a young Alice returning home from Wonderland to a disbelieving father, the Once Upon a Time spin-off begins in earnest years later with a teenage Alice (Sophie Lowe) locked away in an insane asylum and a storm which brings a pair of old friends, the White Rabbit (John Lithgow) and the Knave of Hearts (Michael Socha), to her rescue. But before her friends can reach her, the imprisoned Alice is called before the disbelieving Dr. Lydgate (Jonny Coyne) and his committee to admit that all her tales, including her tragic love for the genie Cyrus (Peter Gadiot) as shown in flashbacks, were nothing more than the fabricated delusions of a troubled young girl.

The Truest Believer & the Lost Girl

After ignoring the show for two seasons, I decided to peek into Once Upon a Time and check in on how the real-life fairy tale drama was doing. The beginning of Season Three features Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin), Prince Charming (Josh Dallas), Regina (Lana Parrilla), and Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) searching for the lost Henry (Jared Gilmore) who was kidnapped and taken to Neverland where the devious Peter Pan (Robbie Kay) has plans for the “heart of the truest believer.”

Daredevil: Dark Nights #5

/ / Comics

Daredevil: Dark Nights #5The second-half of writer/artist David Lapham’s story about Daredevil chasing around a 10-inch imp around New York City doesn’t have quite the same zany feel given the murder of Buggit’s friend in the final panel of last month’s issue. Although the odd little man had good intentions to help his friend escape a murder conviction, his actions actually directly led to the murder.

With no time, and various distractions in his way such as the Shocker who escapes police custody and a giant monster in the middle of Manhattan the Avengers are trying to contain, Daredevil once again chasing the little man through the city. The difference this time is Buggit has strapped himself with a suicide bomb and is out to make sure the mobster who had his friend killed pays for it.

Although the end is far too tidy (and convenient) for my tastes, and the second issue isn’t as fun as the first, the mini-series second arc kept my interest all the way through the end (which is more than I can say for the first arc). For fans.
