Re: Who is Michael Raymond-James going to be?

And what’s up with that stranger in New York who receives a Storybrooke postcard that simply reads, “Broken”?

I think the important question to ask is who sent the postcard to the stranger indicating the curse is broken? I think it has to be Mr. Gold/Rumple, because he knew the curse would be broken when the Savior kissed her son, and he was working to bring magic to our world for a reason we’ve yet to learn. I’m not sure if this MRJ character, the new mysterious stranger, is Baelfire, but it’d be an interesting twist if Mr. Gold/Rumpel has already found him via a magic postal service that delivers a letter to whomever you wish, regardless of whether you know the address. I like the way Phee put it: “Rain, hail, shine or purple smoke, the SB mail will still get through.”

In Storybrooke, the Charmings prevent the town from lynching Regina and even team, reluctantly, to stop the wraith from killing Regina.

Also, I really want to know exactly why Rumple needed a Wraith. He didn’t know Belle was still alive until just last episode, and it seems like he’d been planning to bring magic to SB since FTL when he had PC put the egg containing the love potion into the dragon. So, Rumple needing the wraith to kill Regina has to be a side-plot for revenge that he came up with on the spot. He must have some other ultimate goal for using the Wraith that we’ve yet to learn.

This goes very badly for two members of this party – and that flashback I referred to? – maybe it’s not a flashback at all.

😮 The two members of the party, the Charmings, are Emma and Snow White! Perhaps this is Mr. Gold’s intention, to send Emma out of our world and into FTL past. The “flash-back” of Prince Phillip, Mulan, and Aurora turns out to be the present for Emma and SW!

On the topic of spoilers, has anyone else noticed what is growing in Mr. Gold’s pawn shop on the “Untold Stories” FB ap? Jack’s magic beanstalk. 🙂
