Ok, due to the craziness that was the season finale. I’ve decided to post a few new study questions.
1. Who has more power? Rumpel, Evil Queen or Emma?
2. Has Mr. Gold forgotten about Baelfire?
3. How will magic effect Storybrooke?
4. How will Belle react to Mr. Gold returning to his old Dark One persona?
5. What is Mr. Gold’s end game?
6. Now that the curse is broken, is Emma still the savior? Is she still a threat?
7. Who will the main battle be between? Who are the main players?
8. How will Baelfire play into this?
1. I think it’s between Emma and Rumple right now. I don’t think her job as “savior” ends with waking everybody up. Something tells me she’s got more to do.
2. No. I think all of this was a big set up to find Bae. He needed the curse in order to come to our world, he needed it broken in order to leave SB, and he needs his magic in order to find Bae.
3. I see Season 2 as being three stories: 1) Emma vs. Regina in SB 2) Rumple and Belle searching for Bae and a way to get back to FTL 3) SW, Charming, and company taking back the kingdom in FTL prior to the original curse.
4. We don’t know that he is! That’s the problem. He said magic is power but it doesn’t mean he’s lost sight of all he’s learned over the centuries and in SB. Having lost both Bae and Belle I think this is his last bit of magic and then he and Belle can live in love together and he can give up his power and he’ll be happy about it. I think he’s weary, but he’s got one more task to do.
5. To find Bae, get everyone back to FTL, and live his happily ever after with Belle. (I am not at all biased toward this…)
6. Yes, her job can’t be THAT easy. And what about how Rumple said she needed to die. Obviously a lie? Or a truth to something else?
7. I think Emma is going to be suspcious of Rumple for a long time but he will convince her they are on the same side. Then it’s Rumple/Emma/FTL good guys vs. Regina. I will always believe she is the true evil.
8. He’s Henry’s father and I think he’ll be introduced very early in our world in season 2.
