I agree with most of you – he must probably be pinocchio (the shin splints and that he might turn to wood in the absence of magic)… that’s so sad…for some reason pinocchio was one of the disney cartoons i really avoided… probably because of the donkey scene… … well that’s side tracking…
I like the thought that he was in cohoots with Bae… afterall he had a drawing of the knife… which only Bae saw and there’s that hint – “even a mute can draw a picture” which at first makes you think august is bae… but they railed us in the opposite direction…
If he went to a land without magic Bae might be dead by now… but i doubt the authors will stick to that… it has to be a world without time too… In any case, it finally explains why Rumple made the curse… it makes sense – that way he got everyone from FTL contained in SB.. like we got jefferson back even though in FTL he was stuck in wonderland…
OK… btw… that was stupid of us… Bael has brown eyes – august blue… sometimes during casting they do overlook these things – but i hope they don’t… i hope now pinocchio or whoever august really is, has blue eyes…
