I watched the first few episodes of OUATIW but it doesn't hold the same appeal for me that the regular show does. I might also be bias because I've never been a fan of Alice in Wonderland in any form. My exception - and the reason I initially gave Wonderland a shot - was because I liked Jefferson. (I could've done without Grace, but I liked Jefferson.)

I also adored how they brought Jafar into things, but the Alice/Cyrus thing is pretty dull. (And no, I don't ship Alice/Knave either.) I've been waiting for news of Jasmine appearing or flashbacks of Anastasia being revealed as Cinderella's step-sister. If either of those happen, I might pick up the episodes again.

I definitely wouldn't mind Jafar coming to OUAT though. (Still hoping Jasmine will show up, aside from the Easter Egg at Eric's ball.) Or possibly even Anastasia, if it involves Ashley/Cinderella. But I'm not interested in seeing Alice and/or Cyrus. Even though I'm supposed to root for their love story, they only make me yawn. Yeah, I would say if you don't like any form of Alice and Wonderland, this show won't be your favorite, they have minor Wonderland characters, they have word puns, they have everything you would love (or not love) in Wonderland. I do think it helps to have things like Jafar and the Knave being Will Scarlett, though. And yes I can see your point about Alice and Cyrus, they are a bit sicknely sweet, but again they are not the whole show. I also think it you should try to push through and watch the episodes, if you like Once because 1. Like it or not this is part of the canon, 2. I am sure they will cross reference stuff from this show to the main one, even if it is Easter Egg-y, and 3. You'd be suprised how much of the show is about Will (the Knave), Anastasia, and Jafar, about half of the flashbacks are completly about them, showing they are just as important as Alice and Cyrus. And I don't know how many episodes you watched, but I feel the show keeps getting better each week, aka the first few episodes were necceary set up, but not the best, plot wise.
