Here’s the thing: Storybrooke has featured Jiminy Cricket prominently, Geppetto from time to time, and even someone we think could very well, somehow, have been Monstro (if a man can be turned into a cricket, why not a whale?). Meanwhile Pinocchio himself has been very oddly absent in Storybrooke … or has he? From the standpoint of putting together a complete story I don’t know why else Pinocchio would be missing unless there have been casting issues or he’s somewhere outside of Storybrooke for some other reason.
While watching the ep., as soon as Mother Superior said that he’d found his father but hadn’t spoken to him yet, I realized it was very likely not really Bae. I whispered to Dan that it could still go either way (Bae or Pinocchio) and he looked at me like I was crazy. 😉 I was right about the not-Bae part, but we’ll likely know in a few days about the rest!
I actually didn’t like the Pinocchio theory either, at first, but that’s largely because it’s not my favorite story. Someone earlier pointed out that they make the fairytales quite a bit more awesome, in general, so even if August is Pinocchio I’m sure we’ll enjoy the story.
I posted this on another thread, but I’ll repost it here too, Jiminy was turned back from a cricket into a man, it seems previous enchantments could be eliminated in SB, sooooo if August is Pinocchio then he must be changing back into a puppet- if he isnt August then Pinno will either be puppet somewhere in SB or is bumping around our world somewhere.
Personally Im really hoping August isn’t Pino- I really dislike that theory, its got so many holes the writers will be having to make some pretty massive circumstances appear outta who knows where to make me believe he could have been totally ‘saved’, yet never went & found Emma inorder to ‘break’ the curse & save his farther/everyone if it is the case.
I also wont ‘like’ August anymore if he is Pino – I hate Pino as a character he’s totally obnoxious & arrogant in the original tales (he really doesn’t need to be pushed into doing bad things- he wants to do bad things!) – Disney ended up totally changing his personalty for his cartoon as even he didnt ‘like’ Pino 😉
I’m not familiar with the original story but I liked the Disney version, wow that donkey part freaked me the hell out!
