Also, I'm not proposing to add them to the main cast. I know you've said you don't care for the Blue Fairy, yet you've been able to watch and enjoy Once, and she's been in 18 episodes. I am merely suggesting a guest role for them on an occational episode, when it would support the main cast. It would be no worse for you or anyone else than you having to watch an episode with the Blue Fairy in it. You're missing my point (The BF isn't from a failed show, btw)

Of course there's fans of the show not watching the spin off, lol. I've been speaking from a purely out-of-context standpoint; if something fails, it's generally not good to inject something that failed into something else, ya know? XD Maybe my problem is I don't understand to whom this show failed. Are you talking about to ABC's rating department, are you talking about critics, are you talking about fans of the main show, are you talking about people who like Alice and Wonderland as a book, I don't know. If we're talking ratings, I don't think spinoffs ever get as high a rating as the show they spun off from, and I'm not suprised it's not doing as well there. If we're talking about fans of the main show, as I said, some of them haven't even tried it, and it seems the people who have and continue to follow it, that for the most part, are liking it more and more each week. Every story starts off slow as a lot of expostion has to get done, characters have to be introduced, etc. before you can start getting really juicy plot, and complex character modivations, so if people watched one episode and wrote this show off, especially if they like the main show, they should have known better, and known to trust Adam and Eddy. So as I said, I'm not sure to whom you believe this show failed. Maybe if I understand that better, I could understand why you don't think they would put the characters from this show on the main show, even if it only goes one season. As far as people who never watched this show, if Lizard for example appears on the main show, they will be none the wiser that she is an existing character from Wonderland, so it won't make them feel they are getting a character from a failed show. Also, I'm probably over-analysing what you said, as you say your speaking from an out-of-context standpoint, but I do think that context is important, especially in a case of a main show and a spin off, because for all we know this was a master plan to just expand the world and add more characters for those that wanted more, and they only want it to go one season, and if that is the case, then they haven't really failed at all. And with that I'm going to sign off, because now I'm starting to sound like a character from Alice and Wonderland. XD
