Re: Season 3 Part One: Episodes 3.01-3.11
I was both intrigued and annoyed that literally EVERYONE was someone's dad last season. It gave new definition to keeping it in the family. What did you think of the Peter Pan reveal?
Re: Season 3 Part One: Episodes 3.01-3.11
I found it kind of amusing that everyone seemed to be related...or at least related to Henry in some way. His family tree is extremely complicated to say the least.
I wasn't surprised by the Peter Pan reveal. I was predicting it for a while but I was surprised by how he came to be Peter Pan. I thought maybe it would be a result of magic gone wrong. I didn't think it was something it would have chosen. I was happy to be surprised about that.
It makes the whole Peter Pan thing way more creepy. That he had that background and was now hanging out with a bunch of teen (and younger) boys and keeping a young girl in a cage, all by his own choice. Never mind the things he was doing to his own family.

Re: Season 3 Part One: Episodes 3.01-3.11
I'm a bit disappointed with Wendy's character, I feel like she was someone with more agency in the novel (and the Disney movie, for that matter), and more - power, really. I wonder if we'll see more of her, I'd like to.
(I didn't really like the Peter Pan reveal, but that's mostly because generally I liked Rumple's backstory better when it was devoid of magic before the events of Desperate Souls, as in season one.)
...er, I'm new to this, it's okay to jump into a conversation like this, right?
Re: Season 3 Part One: Episodes 3.01-3.11
Do you think we'll see more of Wendy?
Re: Season 3 Part One: Episodes 3.01-3.11
Do you think we'll see more of Wendy?
Yes? I'm not sure: they seem to be moving into a very different direction, and I also thought we'd see more of Greg and Tamara and that hasn't happened (though I still think Tamara's grandmother is someone important, because else why mention it? and this is OUAT).
But I think we'll still learn more about Pan's backstory, and that of other Neverland people, like Tink (the Blue Fairy says something like "this was your second chance", so my guess is the first time Tink did something wrong – according to Blue, anyway – had something to do with Pan), and there's a good chance this might involve Wendy. I don't expect to see her in anything but flashbacks though.
Re: Season 3 Part One: Episodes 3.01-3.11
That was so creepy!!! I loved Regina having to snap him out of it as well. I really liked Rumple's and Regina's interactions when they met up again in Neverland. I love how she had lost patience with everyone else and went off to find him so they could actually get stuff done and he she finds him like that.

I don't really remember the Disney movie much because I haven't seen it since I was a kid and to be honest it wasn't one of my favorite stories. And I haven't read the novel so I'm not particularly attached to Wendy as a character, though I know a lot of people are and a lot were disappointed in how she was presented in this show.
To me I felt the whole thing was really creepy with the way she was kept in a cage on the island all that time and I don't feel they really did much with her character. I feel that they had her return to this season because it was expected since they were doing Neverland but they didn't really have that much for her and didn't do much with her that really mattered sadly. She was used to give Henry a reason to "save magic and Neverland" but not much beyond that.

Totally, that's the idea!
When the new season starts up I'll start a new comment thread for each new episode that way anyone can jump in and participate in a particular epiodes' discusion anytime they want. Even if you don't watch an episode right away (since a lot of people don't these days) you can check for the comment thread later whenever you get around to watching a particular episode and jump in anytime.
Re: Season 3 Part One: Episodes 3.01-3.11
Ah, I loved the Disney movie, though I haven't seen it in years. I think I'm fine with the creepiness of her being kept in a cage: there's a fitting sense of child-cruelty and literalness to it, if that makes sense (putting people in cages is something I associate with children's stories villains).
The thing is, Wendy in that movie and the book is very important to Pan, and holds a certain amount of power, so it's a but sad to see her reduced to such a passive role where it it isn't even important that she's the one being held here (Henry would have choosen to save magic for someone else too). Though I guess I'm glad there was no sense of romance between them her and Pan, considering. What you say about them simply not having planned for anything for her to do makes a lot of sense, that seems likely (to be honest, I'd have liked it better if she'd just lived her life her 'our' world and had died of natural causes, and I hope perhaps there's a compelling plot reason why they couldn't do that).
When the new season starts up I'll start a new comment thread for each new episode that way anyone can jump in and participate in a particular epiodes' discusion anytime they want.

That sounds great! I hope I'll be able to participate!
