TimeSpacer, I really do like the idea of Rumple writing the book. He seems to be linked to all the stories. The scene in the Price of Gold, where he tells Cinderella ‘every story needs a memorable detail!’ keeps coming to mind, because HE was always the person to add that detail – he definitely was working as an ‘author’ in these different fairytales. Knowing that Rumple could see the future to some extent (there’s probably some limitations) could explain why he made the book prior to the curse, knowing that the savior would have a son who would need it, read it, and bring his mother to town. (Limitation possiblility: doesn’t see that his son is the father of the savior’s kid???) If Rumple made the book prior to the curse, I still wonder how it ended up at Mary Margaret’s…I’ve wondered if Rumple was behind Snow having her engagement ring in Storybrooke, so he could of planted the book with her things also.
As if the Charmings, Regina, and Rumple didn’t already have enough reason to hate each other, the feud for Henry could be pretty intense. I wonder if Baelfire would even side with his father if Henry was his son or if it would be a four way battle: Charming/Snow/Emma vs. Regina vs. Rumple vs. Baelfire…with a separate Bae vs. Emma throughout. 😈
AntBee, I guess I feel like Baelfire would have put his father’s story in the book (call it bitterness or a warning to Henry about what his father is capable of since Bae (if he knows about the curse/Storybrooke) doesn’t know it’s to find him/his papa’s messed up form of apology..). Until a possible plot twist next season, I’m with you that the Blue Fairy seemed to have been ‘awaken’ in the last episode.
I do think it’d be an interesting twist if Baelfire has been working behind the scenes (like papa, like son and possible grandson) last season. Again, I’m buying that the BF didn’t have her memory so who else is aware of Rumple’s beginnings: the dagger and a son? No one who could still possibly be alive besides Bae. Really do think Bae is August’s ‘little fairy’! If Baelfire and August did meet up in their travels, trust each other to admit their from EF (or maybe fairytale characters are just drawn to their own?), then Bae could have very well have made the book with August explaining the stories (a kid hanging out in a palace had to have heard most of these tales!) August knew enough about the book to find it and add his story: how did he know about the book in the first place? Or gain the equipment for book-making?
IDK, but it'd be interesting if Henry finds a new story in his book about passing through a green vortex and landing in a world of skyscrapers. 😀
