I just hope if he IS Bae then the father isn’t immediately white-washed. I kinda LIKE the idea that Bae had trouble adjusting to our world, had some troubles, bitterness and actually made some mistakes regarding Emma. It was over 10 years ago, obviously he could have shaped up since then. Fine. But I don’t want it to come off like Emma just didn’t give him a chance blah blah. If Henry’s father goes from “not a good guy” to just “misunderstood” I’m going to be annoyed.
Whoever Henry’s father is, I would like to see Snow and Charming be a little more interested in it eventually as well. Emma’s convo with MM about him in “True North” practically makes him sound evil so love to see some parental concern on their part about him.
As for Bae, father or not, I hope his stance on magic isn’t suddenly changed either. And that all this time away from Rumpel doesn’t instantly make him soft on him.
I suppose Bae and Emma happening to run into each other doesn’t bug me as much as it could though. While it’s entirely too convenient for dramatic purposes, it still makes sense in this sort of “other worldly connection” sort of way. Like those rare odds where separately adopted siblings feel an inexplicable draw towards each other prior to realizing WHY they felt so close. (Or in less creepy circumstances, when a separated mother/child almost instantly recognize each other after decades.)
Heh, in Fringe, things from alternate universes have a different frequency they give off. So I could kinda see the former residents of the Enchanted Forest all having their own frequency that may make them more likely than normal to find each other.
But would it be so hard to imagine that Emma’s viewpoint may be a bit scewed? I have a feeling that both Emma and Bae’s viewpoints will be quite biased. There’s an old saying that goes “there’s her side, there’s his side, and then there’s the truth.” Or something to that effect.
