ABC's series 'Once Upon a Time' has already plowed through a hefty number of fairy tale characters and stories in its three seasons on the air, so it wasn't a huge surprise when the show decided to add in some newish tales -- it was, however, a bit of a shock that they had snagged Disney's smash hit 'Frozen' to make the leap to the small (and live-action) screen.

This epic hour of 'Once Upon a Time' almost felt like a proper series finale, what with the many poignant flashbacks to pivotal moments in the major characters' lives and Regina's spell finally being broken. But this isn't the end for 'OUAT,' this was merely a mid-season finale that cleverly set the stage for a new tale of fantasy, heroism, and weirdness for 2014. Sure, this episode kinda rebooted

There was a lot of betrayal going on in this episode of 'Once Upon a Time in Wonderland,' which is why it was so surprising to see the hour end with an unexpected alliance between Alice and the Red Queen. But we're getting ahead of ourselves; first, let's talk about the oh-so-romantic flashback that kicked things off.

Alice and Jafar worked through some major daddy issues on this week's episode of 'Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.' 'Bad Blood' picked up right where the last episode left off, with Jafar kidnapping Alice's father and Alice still trying to reach Jafar's castle to save Cyrus.

'Once Upon a Time in Wonderland' took us back to Alice's home of Victorian London, where she was forced to act like a prim and proper girl and have tea with the boring suitor boy next door. But society life didn't agree with Alice; she's used to sword fighting and and swashbuckling her way through Wonderland with her genie boyfriend, Cyrus. Her homecoming was anything but a happy return.

Peter Pan's origin is revealed this week, and the story behind the villain's dark power is a truly sad and twisted tale. But that should come as no surprise to fans of 'Once Upon a Time'; we're used to things getting super dark (and super weird) right before the dawn, and 'Think Lovely Thoughts' was one of the darkest episodes of the season -- and not only because it featured a creepy voice-over c

For the second week in a row, 'Once Upon a Time in Wonderland' delivered a tragic origin story for one of its major villains. Last week, we learned all about Jafar's turn to the dark side, and this week we learned how the sweet and rosy-cheeked Anastasia became the power-hungry Red Queen in the episode titled 'Heart of Stone.'

It's a whole new world for fans of 'The Little Mermaid' with a live-action Ariel making her debut on the Nov. 3 episode of 'Once Upon a Time.' This new promo for the episode, aptly titled 'Ariel,' features JoAnna Garcia ('Royal Pains,' 'Privileged') as everyone's favorite mermaid who dreams of walking on two feet and marrying her handsome prince...

Our favorite fantasy anti-hero, Captain Hook, nabbed the spotlight in 'Good Form,' this week's episode of 'Once Upon a Time.'
