Makes me wonder how the Owen/Ben father comforting son over loss of his mother fits into all this (it is this episode isn’t it?)..I mean they do like to do parallels.
New theory about Owen/Ben. Owen could be a young Greg. Benjamin Stockham looks enough like Ethan Embry with the blue eyes that it can work, and since we’re going back to 1983, it’s definitely plausible that Greg was 10 years old at that time since I don’t think this show takes place exactly in 2013 but a little bit before that I believe. Plus, Embry will be 36 this year even if he looks younger, so he’s in the right age range for someone who would be in their late 30s to early 40s on the show.
I don’t know how his father will fit in, but I think that when Storybrooke appeared, Greg and/or his father lived nearby, and either both of them or just one of them realized that something was going on. Then, I think that Henry’s book came out of the discovery of Storybrooke, which would fit The Golden Key’s theory that Greg is the author of Henry’s book. (Although in my theory it could either be Greg or his dad that is responsible, or maybe they even co-wrote it.)
While I’m not sure about all of The Golden Key’s reasons of why Greg is the author of Henry’s book, I do think that since they’re suppose to answer the question on who the author is this season and how it got to Storybrooke, that it makes the most sense out of all the characters that are on OUaT now and have been featured or are going to be featured in the latter half of the season, that Greg makes the most sense. While it could still be the Blue Fairy, assuming that it’s not a totally new character, since she’s been on sporadically this season, if the author of Henry’s book and how it got to him are suppose to be big reveals, I can’t see it being her. Of course, it might turn out not to be a big deal.
