The thing is Lil’Red that about the “a very important part of the puzzle” quote is that in the same answer they also called Graham a “pivotal” character which he wasn’t really. I think that the Huntsman’s story was interesting. And i liked how they talked about the fact that the Huntsman save Snow’s life sort of created this connection between him and Emma because she would never have been born if he had killed Snow. There was a lot that was interesting there, but i wouldn’t call the character pivotal.
And whomever Henry’s father is he is going to be an “important part of the puzzle” because he is Henry’s father and especially if he is more then that to Emma, like if they are meant to be together somehow. And i do think that there is a symmetry to the situation if Bae is the father because of the connection, but like i said at the same moment it seems too connected. I just think that Henry’s father is an important part of the character’s lives and will be important to the story whomever he is even if he isn’t Bae, but the issue is that if he is Bae it seems contrived and just too neat.
And everyone is going to say of all the people in the whole world that Emma would meet Bae and they would hook up and have a child. I mean what are the chances. And they are going to have to give a satisfactory answer to that question. And it may be that if it is Bae he knew who Emma was somehow, though how he would know that i have no idea, how he would even know to look for someone like Emma, but maybe somehow he could know those things. It is just that making the father Bae just raises so many questions and they have to satisfy some of it.
I am fine with it was meant to be and it was destiny to a point and this might be the point for me. It would be just a bit too much.
