[stylist] Wonderland

I was aware they had the spin-off but have not had time to check it out. And
yes, it did not last past one season. As you know, I love taking traditional
fairytales and putting new spins on it. I myself have an obsession with the
Wonderland story.

A few years ago, the SyFy channel produced a SciFi made-for-TV movie based
on Alice in Wonderland that I liked. They also did a Wizard of Oz One called
Tin Man, but I can not recall the name of the Wonderland one.

BTW, just finished current season of Once Upon a Time, and my-oh-my, did not
expect that ending. Looking forward to next season to see how this new
storyline unravels. Also just binged through entire recent season of Game of
Thrones. Enjoyed it as always, though I have to say, this season deviates
from the books more than any season. But from a film/TV-making adaptation
perspective, I understand the choices made, but something a fan of the books
will definitely notice. Good nonetheless. Curious to see how it will work
with the show since the sixth book has yet to be published. Perhaps, this is
in part why the last two seasons have been so different from the books. Now
waiting to catch up on my Orphan Black, which is a BBC Canada show that's
really good. SciFi, but super entertaining.

Was sort of thinking of Brigit here but others who are into fairy tales and
such may also enjoy.  Brigit you probably already know this but in case not,
I'm sure you would love it. It's a spin off of the Once Upon a Time series
called Wonderland by ABC but to my mind it's even a little better with more
sort of edge of your seat type stuff and a little darker. We're watching it
on You Tube now. They only had one season I think, and it's just a raving
shame. I can't understand how people didn't totally love this series. It's
Wonderland with other fairy tales added in.  Like some Aladdin stuff, for
example.
Even inspired us to get a wonderland thread going in our general fantasy
email game and I decided to take up the Mad Hatter. Fancy that. *cackles*
and I think maybe next the Jabberwalkey. But the monster not what they did
in the show, but I won't spoil it.
We put some of our original characters from other places, ending them up in
wonderland for a brief stop and that's been great fun. Hm, puts me in mind
of when I was in the post office last week and I swear every odd ball one
can imagine was in there. Definitely felt like a dream. LOL.

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my head.
