August knew about the dagger because HE HAD READ THE BOOK- remember he planted his own story in there after he stole it from Henry’s hiding place, so he knew all about it from there- if not before.
But we don’t know that Rumple’s dagger story is in the book. Henry didn’t know who Gold was in reality and it was only recently that we learned Bae was in the book, and I think a lot of us were surprised by that. It’s supposed to be Rumple’s greatest secret, so I don’t know if it would be in the book.
How did SB get supplies etc.if no ‘real world’ people could find SB- there’s no way they could have been totally self sufficient (cars, phones, computers, many types of refined/packaged grocery products, ipods/mp4 players etc- that all had to come from somewhere else)? (I know this is an ocd thing to bring up, but they could have laid off the hidden thing a bit- its not like that stuff pops up out of thin air & I have to over look that fact everytime I watch S1 now
The Curse is self-sustaining. It as designed to make sure everyone would stay alive forever, trapped in a bubble. Nothing needed to come into town because the Curse essentially provided for everything, including upgrades in technology and clothing when it was appropriate. The Curse was designed to make sure that everything appears as normal to those living within the town.
How Henry got into SB from the ‘real world’ if SB doesn’t even exist even on a map.
How did Henry even leave SB to go find Ema in the 1st place- it’s not like he caught the night bus outta SB, or hitched a ride?
Actually I can totally see Henry riding his bike out of SB and finding a bus to Boston.
And as for how he get into SB: that’s a S3 story. H and K have said we’ll learn about that in S3.
