For Once Upon a Time in Wonderland episode 1.05, the guest role of "King" is being cast. He's about 50, handsome, clever, and has a British accent. Also, the guest role of "Mother/Woman" is being cast. She's 50, was once beautiful, has a daughter who disappoints her, and has a British accent.

ReplyDeleteI wonder if that King is going to be the slumbering Red King from Through the Looking Glass. Perhaps the Red Queen is actually his daughter and she put him under a sleeping curse (you know how OUaT loves a good sleeping curse) to take power.
ReplyDeleteGood Call! :)
ReplyDeleteTheres no such thing as a british accent, drives me bonkers when people call my english accent British!!!! Sorry just had to get my tuppence worth in there, feel better now!
ReplyDelete"She's 50, was once beautiful,..." wow, can't a 50-year old still be beautiful? Many gorgeous 50-year-olds prove us they can.
ReplyDeleteI hope she is "no longer beautiful" due to sth else and not only her age, because saying that a woman is no longer beautiful because she is 50 is really mean (the king is still handsome despite his age, of course).
Well, I had never though about that.
ReplyDeleteObviously they're not saying that women are no longer beautiful when they're 50, they're saying that this particular woman is no longer beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWell not exactly British English is very distinct from American English, but really there are a lot of "sub-English" accents and/or dialects of English in both Countries do to location and class.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Not all 50 yr olds remain beautiful, just as not all non pre-50 year old's are beautiful to begin with.
ReplyDeleteJust a specific description with the idea that she dramatically changed over time, or at some point in time.
I agree with Cathy though that it could be sign that there was a magical transformation (thinking of Howl's Moving Castle as an example)
