I need A and E to tell me what they mean when they say “time is linear” because obviously things and people can move through time and space. We saw it with the apple and Rumple said as much in the Return when he’s talking to August (when he think he’s Bae).
I just want you to know, that ever since you left, ever since you crossed the barriers of time and space, in every waking moment
So what does it mean that time is linear but then they also say that there is no time traveling.
It could be that FTL is less developed by 1900 as our world is, therefore Bae doesn’t move in time so much as he goes to a more developed universe. (Fringe anyone? The parallel universe was more advanced in some areas)
I have a feeling they’re trying to say that he’s not time-travelling all over the place whenever he please. That he went here, then here, then here, but that first trip through the portal was through “time and space” and he landed a long way down the linear timeline so jumped from point A to point B but is still going in a straight line.
There are a few things we’ve seen that jumps around but I think the point was that overall it’s a straight line, at least in regards to Bae’s journey. He just….skipped a massive amount of time going through that vortex (hopefully none of the other beans cause massive time jumps – I don’t think they do since Hook & Cora were able to follow Snow & Emma quickly though, just saying that was one massive time jump).
