Oh my god, fairy dust! You are so amazing! I can’t believe all of the research that you did. Thank you.
2. John Guliak – 7 Stories & 13 Songs album hanging by window – picture of a heart surrounded by fire – lots of possibilities including nod to Baelfire.
I can’t believe I didn’t catch this. I even looked up the album to see what was on it, but I think it was chosen more for the album cover and the fact that Mysterious Man is into indie music rather than to the songs pointing out clues now.
1. 7 Stories and 13 Songs
2. Feathers for a Fool
3. High
4. The Little Ease
5. Dive
6. Windigo
7. Rudy Falling
8. Easy to Fail
9. Big Orange Root
10. Shaky Nancy
11. Great Western
12. Oka/Banff
13. Wreck on the Highway
Here is the title track: The Day Everything Became Nothing
Thanks. The song fits even more now. I really didn’t want to look at it though because I looked up the lyrics to the number 4 song and even listened to it, and that was enough of NoMeanNo for me. I think I would have liked them when I was younger, but now it’s almost like just noise to me. (Hey you kids! Get off of my lawn!) 😀
4. Many OUAT sites have the Mysterious Man living on Grand Street across from Piemonte Ravioli company. His apartment is across from Piemonte but not the storefront on Grand Street, rather the Piemonte storefront on Mulberry St. He lives in an apartment building that is on Mulberry St, in the area known as Little Italy. I won’t take time to list all the history of Mulberry St. but it is ALOT. Mulberry St. has a long history that includes the mafia. Farther down Mulberry was the notorious Five Points area.
Thank you! I actually Googled to get more clues about Grand Street by using the address for the Piemonte Ravioli Company on Grand Street, but it didn’t look like the one from OUaT. I didn’t know that they had a storefront on Mulberry Street, but yes, that is the location that the show used.
The Mulberry Street reference could also be a nod to Dr. Seuss’ And To Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street, since he’s a famous author of children’s books.
6. All the radios, and desk microphones, and records…etc. When I took a look at the route that MM walks it is almost certain that he works on the West Side. I saw something interesting up on the West Side (89th st) of Central Park. It is called The Radio Foundation. http://www.radioart.org/ Wonder if that is where our MM works?
I’ll let you read up on it but these guys are famous and have that sort of artsy history that makes for great stories. One of the things this group put out was Firesign Theater. And one of their albums was titled, “In the Next World, You’re on Your Own.” It is a hodgpodge of the bizzare but the title sure is interesting. Again…we run into that word, “fire” a possible nod to Baelfire.
Yes, I saw that TVLine article mentioned he most likely worked on the West Side, but I thought it would be funny although probably too meta if they had him working for ABC. The Firesign Theater name definitely fits him better. Although he could still be a thief of some kind based on the plot synopsis for episode 6.
8. The logo on the horse at the beginning of the MM scene is called a Horse Brass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_brass There are many myths about it possibly warding off evil.
So we have the Dream Catcher, the Horse Brass, and the Hamsa, so Mysterious Man is being connected with things that ward off evil, which means he might have some kind of power(s) that allow him to do so.
The Statue is called, “Good Defeats Evil” It is St. George, on a horse slaying the dragon.
Yes, the St. George and the Dragon story is definitely a very popular type of story that we’ll most likely see happen on the show.
