RG, that little spoiler doesn’t negate the theory that August might have been connected to Tinker Belle.
So he says “a little fairy told me.” A&E have claimed that the BF didn’t have her memories during the curse, so someone had to inform August about Baelfire and everything else. I assume the curse never touched Neverland so Tinker Belle would be free to travel between worlds.
As for Pleasure Island, I always thought that Phuket was August’s own Pleasure Island he ran off to in order to escape his troubles. But I could also see young Pinocchio making a trip to another Pleasure Island. In the movie, it did happen before the ordeal with the whale and washing up on shore. The part of the story we saw in “The Stranger” was the ending of the Pinocchio tale, so they could go back and film young Pinocchio without needing Eion at all. But I still think they need to bring him back to give real resolution to the storyline. That’s the one area I think fans really feel cheated by.
