Alice (Part 1)

Caterina Scorsone, Kathy Bates (2009) A young woman searches for a way to escape from the fantasy world Wonderland. Based on the novel by Lewis Carrol.

Syfy Sunday movie from 12/6.

Apparently Dr. Frasier from SG1 is Alice's mom. Haven't heard from here in a while. And her boyfriend's British. And apparently a criminal or something. Or is being followed by criminals. Or has some creepy dude-stalker... And he just got mugged. And stolen in a van.

And Matt Frewer showed up in the credits. At some point he'll probably show up. Unless he doesn't, which would actually be awesome. You might remember him from his role as Taggart in Eureka. Or as the Trashcan Man in Stephen Kings' The Stand. Or numerous other roles where he plays the eccentric character...

And I'm guessing that this old guy will be revealed to be the White Rabbit. As he's got a twin pony-tail thing going on, has white hair, a suit, and runs in a really strange way. Not that that last thing has anything to do with being the White Rabbit. I just wanted to throw that out there... And he just wend behind a door marked "White Rabbit" with a bunch of his goons.

Lets see how this stacks up, when compared to other SciFi/Syfy Miniseries. Frankly, it'll be hard to top either the original Battlestar Galactica miniseries, or The Lost Room. Frankly, I think The Lost Room is one of the best miniseries I've ever seen. Quite worth watching, if you have the chance.

I think this one's done by the same people that did the retelling of the Wizard of Oz miniseries. Tin Man. Very similar visual style.

Apparently the stock market in Wonderland trades in emotions. And the required dress code involves fancy hats...

And apparently this is running on the idea that the Alice in Wonderland story was real. I guess it is similar to the Tin Man miniseries, as that had the same sort of idea...

And Chief O'Brien from Star Trek: The Next Generation AKA Cowan from Atlantis seems to be the king.

And the Walrus is played by a fat guy with a massive mustache.

And apparently the Jabberwocky has massive buck teeth.

Mat Frewer is the White Knight.

Also: "Mad as a box of frogs" is a pretty fantastic saying.
