Re: Tamara and Greg’s Mission

I think I’ve solved it! (Okay, not really but bare with me.)

We only have the finale left and with so many loose threads I think it’s time to assume that the simplest solution is the correct one. There’s limited time to deliver backstory on Greg, Tamara, Hook, etc.

I think we might be able to surmise that Greg isn’t alone in having his life negatively impacted by magic. His experiences during childhood would likely have set him on a path to figure out what happened, why it happened, and how he could stop it from happening again. (In this, he is not unlike Emma. She was driven by her abandonment to start looking for her parents, later gaining skills that helped her in her career as a bondswoman.) He could have met Tamara and others like them, a group organized with the purpose of making the world safe from the dangers of magic and those who wield it. Even in the case of the Dragon, who seemed intent on helping people (in exchange for money, a very honest transaction considering) it could be seen that the power is just too great for anyone to have.

So Greg and Tamara are part of a group. Scientists, spies, what have you- all using futuristic technology to accomplish their goals. (Perhaps a little nod to Tron, there.)

But what is this group? Well, having it confirmed that Tamara’s name should be pronounced “Tomorrow” I started thinking. When I hear “Tomorrow” the first thing that comes to mind is the sort of B-Movie dialogue “Welcome to the worrrrld of tomorrrrowwwww!” Where might you hear such a thing?

Let’s keep it in the family, shall we?

I think they’re a part of the “Eradication of Potential Catastrophic Occult Threats”. XD

Edit: Um. I actually looked it up and EPCOT is an acronym for “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow”. Hrm.
