As author George R. R. Martin observed, "The greatest fools are oftentimes more clever than the men who laugh at them." To believe in something, to stand for something, can make a man look like a fool to skeptics and sophisticates, but that doesn't worry Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, creators of the hit ABC fairytale drama "Once Upon a Time" and now its spinoff, "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland," premiering Thursday, Oct. 10. In a dark time, Kitsis and Horowitz have staked their claim in the light. "When we started to do 'Once,' " he says, "(we learned that) everything that's cool in the world is something you have to s... on. It's a lot cooler to say you hate something than to say you're for something. Everything was bleak and dark. Adam and I wanted to write a show that gave us the feeling we did when Charlie got the keys to the factory at the end of 'Willy Wonka.' "The Internet has really allowed people to get a lot more attention for hating something than to be for it. Our shows are for believers. We want to be hopeful." That doesn't mean that the former college buddies' shows are sentimental mush. "We still get dark," says Kitsis, "but we provide light at the end of the tunnel. And we're not ashamed of that." In "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland," Kitsis and Horowitz have once more put together a colorful tossed salad with ingredients from different stories. Obviously there are references to Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," but there are also elements from "The Arabian Nights" by way of Disney's animated film "Aladdin."

Unfortunately, all her talk of a Cheshire cat and a hookah-smoking caterpillar has her doctors convinced she's insane and determined to do a treatment that will erase her memories. Alice is tempted, mostly because of her painful recollections of handsome Cyrus (Peter Gadiot), a mysterious genie who captured her heart and then appeared to die in front of her. But in the nick of time, the Knave of Hearts (Michael Socha) arrives with word that Cyrus is alive. Alice then unleashes some impressive martial arts moves and breaks free to once again follow the White Rabbit (voice of John Lithgow) back into Wonderland.
