Beaman: I really think this is the Storybrooke counterpart of Hook, that a notorious pirate would be a real world antiques dealer that obtained some pieces through….questionable means. 😎
Will they really need real world aliases any more though? Especially for new characters. I know the casting calls for Mulan and Aurora had different names, which were potentially their SB names, but wouldn’t SB names be sort of redundant now that everyone remembers their real names?
Jack: He does have a swagger and since Jack is going to be a criminal: I could see it.
Have they said Jack will be a criminal? Wasn’t his casting call the one about running from his past in a land full of danger, (which screams Bae to me)? There were so many casting calls in quick succession for a while there, I may be mixed up.
About the Emma’s Ex part: I don’t want the excuse for whatever happened between them to just be, “Well gosh! He never grew up! Isn’t that just adorably forgivable?” No, it’s a cop-out! 👿
Peter Pan being Henry’s father is a theory I’ve liked for a while now, but I’d never thought of the “he can’t grow up” explanation for why he was an immature guy who treated Emma like crap. That sorta fits perfectly IMO. I wouldn’t see it as “adorably forgiveable” though. He’d still have to be held accountable for treating Emma badly. Once he began growing up in our world, he had the chance to make choices, and made some wrong ones. Just like if Bae turned out to be Henry’s father, he’d have understandable reasons for being messed up in the head and not the best guy as a result, but he’d still have to be held accountable for treating Emma badly.
Clearly, he is going to be an important character, if he’s flying back and forth.
The way you worded that, totally made me think of Peter Pan. 😉 Seriously though, obviously he’s gonna be someone integral to the ongoing storyline if he’s expecting to be called back several times during the season. With a decent sized cast and several storylines going on though, he wouldn’t likely be in every ep, even if he’s a character like Bae, they won’t necessarily have him be the focus of every ep, coz they have other stories to tell as well.
