3×11 Script Tease

[heatherc1275]

Maybe it’s just me but I really don’t want to watch even half of a season with the entire town having falsified identities again…didn’t we watch that in all of season one?! 🙁

I’m staring to think that we’re making this whole curse thing too complicated (we were trained for six years on Lost to make things extremely crazy though, LOL) but I can’t figure any of this stuff out any other way. 😮

I never watched that show, so my theory is original to me (as far as I can tell). Perhaps I’m overcomplicating it a bit, but so far, nothing else makes sense to me.

It’s like I keep saying: no theory we come up with explains everything.

But I do like Slurpeez’s.

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"

Oh my head is hurting.

So at first I thought it was definitely about Bae, but it can’t be.  She asked him about his son, and that same conversation he sent her to town.  When she came back she told him he owed her a story.  They never got to talking about him again.

It could be a flashback to Rumple discussing his father.  He did lose him, too, but he wasn’t dead.

As for all the AU stuff, it’s all crazy.  So Neal would “think” he came back and was raised by Rumple.  So Neal would be an adult then when Rumple met Belle…but why would he need her?  Just the same, a deal?  Would Neal go along with that?  That was essentially a a slave deal to begin with, despite the True Love and her wrapping him around her fingers and him being a puppy dog.

But why would Neal be affected and not Hook?  Neal was never affected by the original curse and both are from FTL…so if one is affected the other should be.  And how heartbreaking would it be for Henry to talk to his dad and Neal have no idea who he is.  At least Emma knew she gave him up, although the grandparents were in the same situation in season one.  But Regina wouldn’t know, either, if she’s affected.  Poor Henry no matter what happens.

Oh, this is just all so confusing and we have months to get into the crack.

I think most likely they are discussing Pan but it’s for sure sometimes around Skin Deep (oh god. The curtains are going to come into play aren’t they…)

Yeah I’m going to let Slurpeez handle that

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"

[Phee]

The fact that this piece of dialogue is so close to their previous almost-conversation about Bae, I think does support the idea that it could be part of an AU setting. The way I’ve been thinking of the AU setting for 312 for a while though, is that Bae did come back to FTL, and grew up there, and reconciled with Rumple. If so, then this Rumbelle scene doesn’t match up, because of MRJ’s age in the FTL (potentially) AU scenes. The way I’d been thinking about it, Bae and Rumple had a good relationship before Belle was ever on the scene.

It could either be an interesting concept to flip it around, or it could feel like a total rehash. I think it’d be a sort of different twist on the theme, because they’d actually be completely conscious of their present, unlike with the original Curse. And they would actually have memories, they just wouldn’t be real, unlike in the original Curse, where they were just living in a fog.

The only thing I’m completely sure of right now is that this hiatus is gonna be painful.

I think it could be a very interesting concept but I am very worried that it will feel both redundant and confusing. I’m hoping it’s all explained on screen rather quickly because we’ve had these spoilers for about a month now and we’re still going on circles over them. And if WE can’t figure it out…the casual viewer is doomed. So A and E have to make it straight forward enough that people don’t give up.

This is where I’m at with us coming up with so many random ideas because you’re right, you can’t make this show too complicated or you’ll lose the ‘regular’ people. They lost a ton of viewers during Lost’s tenure because the mythology got too complicated and/or they didn’t explain it well enough so I hope they don’t make the same mistake here. I guess my biggest problem with Slurpeez’s theory (and for the record, it’s not a bad one at all…it actually makes sense) is that I can’t see the point of it. Why would all the characters need to be this way right now? Why does the curse change their memories that way? How would Emma/Henry/Regina/Whoever actually break this curse when they might be affected by it too? Who would be immune to it and actually realize something is off with everyone? I just get too many questions in my head when I think about this theory so I’m hoping it’s something more like a What If episode.

My theory: We know Regina tries to do something magical to stop the PP curse from coming but we’ve also seen pics of Regina knocked to the ground so here’s what I thought of when I was driving home from work today. What if Regina is only able to start something to stop it but Emma has to use her magic to finish it and whatever the curse does to the town, ends up knocking her into a comatose state? We haven’t seen any pics of this but maybe it happens after they all run away from the smoke (we have no clue what all they’ve shot indoors for this episode) and go into a building somewhere. Emma ends up in this coma type state where she’s faced with her past…what if she never gave up Henry (NYC stuff) and what if she grew up in FT land after all and wasn’t the savior  (FL scenes). That would make episode 3×12 a total AU about Emma’s choices and how things could have turned out with the two different scenarios. Adam & Eddy confirmed that this episode has a lot of Emma in it so I can see the AU part being from her perspective even though we didn’t see her in the FL land outdoor stuff (which could easily have only been like two scenes from the entire episode). She can see how she would have grown up if she’d been part of the Enchanted Forest (no Henry which is what will be off for her there) and Hook isn’t really there in the NYC stuff…he’s a figment of her imagination who’s trying to help her see that giving up Henry was the right thing for her to do at that time (not sure why that would be Hook but we know he’s there so I’m going with it). We think that Snow, David, and Rumbelle were also filming for the NYC stuff so maybe they also help her realize that about Henry? I don’t know. Anyway, the potion we saw could be something Rumple concocted to help Emma get out of the coma like state in SB and she wakes up when she drinks it in NYC and finds herself in the hospital. The episode could end with her starting to better understand her place in this world. She is the savior and we know she takes that seriously, but she’s also a daughter, a mother, a sheriff, a friend, a potential girlfriend to a pirate or a lost boy, and a person who cannot do everything, and maybe she needs to reevaluate how she’s living her life so her happy ending can become more of a possibility. Obviously with a new evil lurking around the corner things will get complicated but hey, it’s OUAT and complication is their middle name, LOL 😉

Interesting. They have been highlighting magic between the two women all season.

If everything is a dream or an AU, then it explains the overall “odd” factor of why we can’t answer this. And we know A and E do like to use dreams to show the dreamer’s fears or internal conflicts.

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"

Regina- there’s something I haven’t told you

Emma- what now

Regina- those stories in Henry’s book? I wrote them.  Everyone’s memories come from the stories in Henry’s book.  But the new curse will put everyone back to where the were before I wrote the book, back to what really happened in the Enchanted Forest.
