Young Bae is older than I expected- I guess my head canon had him not really remembering his mother because he was a baby when she left and/or died. Now seeing that’s he old enough to have some memory and understanding of what’s going on with mommy – more emotional baggage for adult Baelfire and possibly some issues with women leaving him! That being said, after awhile I can see Bae and Rumple teaming up to mess with Hook – but I guess I should be calling him by his other name since he still has both hands apparently. 😆
Yes, I really thought he would be younger because I figured he really didn’t remember anything about his mom, but in this picture, I think he would be old enough to remember, he just blocked it out. I also thought that Milah might be made to be more sympathetic, which could still happen, but right now I just want to punch her smug face in. I can understand perhaps that she entered into a loveless marriage because of family pressure things went bad really fast, and I was giving her the benefit of the doubt that maybe she was suffering from some kind of depression or mental illness that made her think that Bae was probably better off without her around, but she doesn’t seem like that all from the two photos of her.
Anyway, since I can’t say it enough, I’ll say it again, poor Bae. 🙁 It’s like whatever bad thing happened to another character, he can just top it by saying that he went through the same thing only worse. Yes, it’s no wonder that the casting call for Jack was about the character keeping people at arm’s length. He’s use to people rejecting and leaving him. 😥
So Hook’s real name is probably Killian Jones. I wonder if the twist is going to be Killian threatens Rumple at some point (being a coward, he doesn’t fight back) and wee Baelfire ends up cutting of his hand…I think I just came up with a VERY dark idea…and the picture of the little Bae is still up on my screen….
I like the theory of Hook, er, Jones, cutting off his own hand because Rumple marked him with the Medallion, but it would be a really interesting twist if little Bae actually ended up being the one to cut off his hand. I don’t know if he’s strong enough to do so, but maybe Bae was trying to protect his dad or even mom, and he ended up cutting off Hook’s hand.
It gives more credence to the Bae is Peter Pan theory, which I’ve been thinking about again. If they do have a Peter Pan on the show, at first I thought the twist might be that either Hook or Rumple was Peter instead of Bae, but then I was thinking about their relationship to fairies. Hook, I guess, could have a positive relationship although probably not, and obviously Rumple doesn’t, but assuming that the Blue Fairy isn’t really the villain manipulating everyone else, I don’t think Bae would have any problem with her and other fairies or at least a problem like his dad does, even if Bae might abhor other kinds of magic, since it was his dad’s fault not the Blue Fairy’s fault.
