The clock...8:15 or 8:16?

[obisgirl]

Some are saying that the clock striking 8:15 means the town has come full circle. Possibly with magic coming they all lose their memories again except now Emma is the only one who knows and has to convince them all to remember ... Not my theory, just one I have heard. Others have said that the clock struck 8:16, indicating a "new day" in Storybrooke..all things will be going in a whole new direction.

Hmmm...very interesting.

Found some gifs of the clock from the pilot, comparing it to the clock in the finale.

NICE! Obisgirl, I think that is definitive proof. Well done.

But in season 2, why would the clock be stopped? Just because we saw it covered in purple smoke doesn't mean it'll be stopped. I think in the opening scene of S2E1 we'll see the clock move to 8:16.

That's what I'm thinking too. I don't think it necessarily STOPPED again, they just showed it ticking to 8:15 as the smoke rolled in, coz it was a fun little full circle sort of moment.
