I missed the first few episodes of the online group rewatch so I don’t know if this was discussed in the chat but there is one scene in the pilot that confused me at the time and still does. When Emma steps out of her car upon first arriving in Storybrooke, there is a short on the power line in the background just as she slams the car door (you can see a picture of it at http://www.onceuponatimespace.com/pilotComment.html ). It was such a noticeable special effects shot I still wonder why they put it in. I don’t think it was ever explained during the season. Did they just add it for a dramatic effect to accompany the door slam or will it turn out to have some significance? I’m guessing it must be there for a reason. What does everyone else think?
On the audio commentary on the DVD, H&K say that the spark is there to show when Emma sets foot in SB, the town (curse maybe?) notices. It is to show Emma is special.
