lenora_roseJust re-watched the new Alice in Wonderland with my husband and some friends. (Which is good up until she - like every hero yet again - chooses to give up Underland in favour of the real world she hated. But that's another rant for another day).
This time, however, I noticed something.
At the end, when she's proposing to travel to China, I asked Colin, "So she's responsible for the Opium Wars?"
When he stopped laughing he said, "That explains a lot."
(No sign of Irina yet. As mentioned in the comments and the ETA to the last post, Dakota came home last night. just in time, as they're leaving tomorrow morning.)
