Re: Once Upon A Time

Yeah, Emma, Henry And August can leave Storybrooke but we know the rest can't. So I am curious as to how Regina would be able to get Henry back if Emma were to go through with taking him?

Mr. Gold must have some sort of outside contact in order to have found baby Henry in the first place. And if that were the case, then he could help Regina recover Henry if Emma was take him out of Storybrooke.

But I have a feeling that Henry will refuse to leave. And Emma won't take him against his will. That would solve a lot of problems with Emma's plan to take Henry, including how to keep her out of jail for kidnapping.

Yeah I've always been curious as to how Mr. Gold found Henry and we know it couldn't have been by chance. I am hoping they touch more on the subject of Henry's adoption before the season is done. Also more about Henry's father.

Re: Once Upon A Time

I find it rather interesting to know that the whole idea of "Storybrooke" Was Gold's to begin with. That Regina's vengeance was nothing less than some rather subtle manipulation to get her to use that "little monstrosity" as Maleficent called that spell. (Apparently Rumpelstiltskin couldn't use it since it relied on a "heart," and his was already gone. His son.)

I am curious, too. I really hope that Henry's father isn't Baefiel. That would be too weird. Emma said that the man didn't even know that he had a son. We may not know that story for a long time.

I was surprised, too. It makes Regina and her powers look like nothing compared to Gold. He is the true mastermind of the whole thing.

Re: Once Upon A Time

I also want to know more about Henry's adoption and his father. I don't think they have time to go into all that though this season with only two episodes left.

Maybe. I don't think Emma and Henry are going to leave Storybrooke.

The adoption storyline sounds like a future plot. Season 2 or 3, maybe.

Re: Once Upon A Time

Yeah. The finish to this season is Emma believing. That is what they need to do to finish this season.

Re: Once Upon A Time

And this series better finish soon with exactly that because it becomes more and more improbable that Emma doesn't believe. It's just...so boring to have her going through this over and over again.

Re: Once Upon A Time

I honestly think it would be improbable that she would believe at this point. Only until last night Storybrooke time did Emma hear a sane person tell her that he believed. And it is just so crazy. I mean i wouldn't believe at this point either. The only thing really odd that Emma has seen is Jefferson vanishing and the whole thing with the hat and she didn't actually see him vanish. And after that she started looking at the book, so that was a big step for her. I mean it is such an incredible thing to believe, that everyone is a fairytale character, there is no way i would believe it on the little evidence that Emma has gotten so far.

Something has to happen, something magical or just something big, for Emma to make that leap. And it Emma is so scared that she doesn't want to be the savior and have to take care of everyone's happiness. It is not something she is prepared for. If they made it easy for Emma to believe like it is with Henry, it would be completely unbelievable, in my opinion.

PS. Not that Henry is insane. He is just a kid. And actually i don't think Jefferson is insane either, just beat down. And Emma had no idea what Graham was talking about. It is just that Pinocchio is the first credible person she has heard this from.

Re: Once Upon A Time

I really, really loved tonight's episode and I almost can't wait for next week. I want to know what Emma will make of what happened at the end.

Ahh!

I liked this episode to, but once again they managed to skirt the issue of having emma discover the curse and believe in the fairy tale characters. Next episode there is no turning back, I hope henry's demise is enough to convince her.

Re: Once Upon A Time

Tonight's episode was good but I have some issues...

Spoiler: show
Jefferson just suddenly appears back in the picture. We were led to believe he disappeared. It just felt very odd.

I was wondering about that, too. I guess that no one can go back to fairyland after all.

I really liked all of the story that happened in Storybrooke - Regina's dream, Henry talking to August, Regina and Gold's conversations, Regina asking for help from Jefferson, Emma talking to the shrink and then going to Regina's house. And Henry's heroic effort to convince Emma of the curse by eating the poisoned apple turnover was a great way to end the episode. It is also a very good way to get Emma to stick around and maybe even believe in the curse.

I was less excited about the Fairyland part of it. Snow playing the warrior was a little bit out there. But at least we know how the Queen got Snow White to eat the apple.

Every time I hear Regina/evil Queen blame Snow White for ruining her life, I just want to shout "why aren't you blaming your mother?" Her logic is all twisted and out of proportion to what was done to her. It makes the revenge story even harder to believe.

Regina is now out of magic, which is interesting. I bet that Gold still has some magic in reserve.

When Gold told Regina that she wasn't holding anything over him, my thoughts went to Belle in the prison. I wonder if somehow Regina uses Belle to stop Gold for helping Emma break the curse.

And will poor August turn to wood before Emma gets her act together and accepts the role of hero? I can't wait to see next week's show to see how far they go with the story.

I didnt think her being a warrior was that out there. She's been very tomboyish in past episodes. She also tried to hijack charming's coach with his "princess" in one of the earlier episodes.

Re: Once Upon A Time

In regards to Jefferson is it possible
Spoiler: show
That he was able to travel to another land when he fell and now has returned to Storybrooke? Also did anyone find it odd that he would be willing to trust Regina again after what she did to him? I really hope they explain this a bit further because it has me stumped on how he could take a fall like that.


As for Snow I enjoyed seeing her as the warrior type. The scenes with Snow and Regina with the apple was very well done. And I agree with Susan I think Regina may try to use Belle as blackmail in a future episode.

Re: Once Upon A Time

I found the Snow White warrior scenes a bit awkward. I don't know if it was the choreography or just the fact I kept wondering how she could have gotten so good at fighting that she could beat trained guards (even with the element of surprise). I normally love the female warrior trope too.

I liked how they did Snow White eating the apple though. I was wondering how they would make that work.

Not trust. More like desperation to me. After all, what else could he do? Saying no wouldn't have accomplished anything, wouldn't have brought him closer to his daughter. And maybe, just maybe, helping Regina might lead to something that may help him.
At least that's how I saw it.
