I no longer have unanswered questions for 1×18. My last unanswered questions was: Did Cora have more children? We all now know the answer to that one. :o)
Questions from 1×19 – The Return
1×19 – Is Blue Fairy Reul Gorm? What does it mean that she is the Original Power? Is she older then Rumple?
1×19 – Blue Fairy said that their other magic beans got away from them. How? Who took them?
1×19 – When did Rumple learn to spin straw into gold? A power he stole from someone else?
1×19 – The Blue Fairy told Baelfire that the Dark One’s magic doesn’t belong in the Enchanted Forest. Where does it belong? How did Dark magic end up in EF?
1×19 – Rumple said that his kind of magic doesn’t work well with fairy magic. So why did he take Cinderella’s fairy godmother’s wand?
1×19 – Did the curse already exist and Rumple just found it and perfected it? How else would BF know that it would destroy FTL or know that a curse would help send Rumple to Land Without Magic?

May 18, 2014 at 10:55 pm #270417TheWatcherParticipantWhy did Rump need someone specific to cast his curse? We’ve seen Regina do it, Pan did it, and then Snow did it. So once he figured out how to do it, why not just cast it himself? Or get some random person to cast it?
We know that the curse fits the casters needs, right. That means he could have casted it with his own purposes in mind, none of this waiting 28 years, no memory BS. When Snow casted it, they would have kept their memories if it weren’t for Zelena. And the whole town boundary thing came later after Regina added it in. So its clear Rump literally created a curse that could transport from another land to our land without any negative effects at all!!!! Why. Didn’t. He. Just. Do. It???"I could have the giant duck as my steed!" --Daniel Radcliffe

It???He would have needed the heart of whom he loved most. Unless he could have created the curse without needing that ingredient. Who would that be for him? He was looking for Bae so it couldn’t be him (plus that would have defeated the purpose of the curse). He thought Belle was dead, whom he wouldn’t have used either. Although I had read a fan fic a while ago that mentioned if Belle wasn’t imprisioned and Rumple cast the curse instead of Regina, how he could have used Belle’s heart and split his heart to give her half of his. Funny how that idea came to pass. 🙂

May 19, 2014 at 10:03 pm #270646once_dudeParticipantOk answering a lot of our questions on this page.
Why didn’t Rumple cast his own curse? The prophesy said he couldn’t. ‘You will not cast the curse, someone else will, you will not break the curse, someone else will Therefore it never occurred to him. ” What about the memories, the 28 years, the new identities? I have no ideas, was that just Rumplestiltskin flare? Was that Evil Queen flare?
Who is Reul Ghorm and what does it mean to be original power? When I heard the phrase original power the first time I thought: did the blue fairy create everything? Over time, I heard another interesting theory: she is Malcolm’s wife and Rumple’s mom. She somehow got corrupted by power and became the original power Also Reul Ghorm I think it was mentionned blue star.
What happened to the magic beans, how did they get away? Most mysterious question, my tentative answer: They were hoarded by time traveling Zeleena who is secretly not dead. (makes about as much sense as everything else)
the dark one’s power does not belong in our realm… except for that vault that is right over there. and the fact that the duke and presumably his ancestors kept the dark ones and controlled them.
my magic does not work well iwht fairy magic and the fairy godmothers wand now this is not necessarily incompatible, after all they are a century apart and so rumple could have learned to channel fairy magic by then.
when did he learn straw into gold? it was the first magic he picked up being a spinner in his past profession.
did the curse already exist? I am going with no for this one. The prophesy made it seem like Rumple would create the curse, and if one watches Rumple’s conversation with Belle in the Story brooke Library in Crocodile it made it seem like he had to invent the curse.
These are my answers. Discuss.
Magic always comes with a price, so I pay with visa.
July 9, 2014 at 11:12 pm #276783Hook’s GirlParticipantI can agree on those answers, Once_Dude.
Questions for 1×20 – “The Stranger”
1×20 – What kind of “final preparations” does the Blue Fairy make with the other fairies for the curse?
1×20 – Do you think EF running out of magic? Last magic bean, last enchanted tree…
I don’t have any unanswered questions for 1×21 – “An Apple Red as Blood”. They’ve all gotten answered. 🙂

July 10, 2014 at 1:08 am #276793TheWatcherParticipant1×20 – Do you think EF running out of magic? Last magic bean, last enchanted tree…
The last magic tree thing could be true as far as we know, but the last bean thing was complete and utter bull. We know that beans grow every 100 years and clearly there were PLENTY of beans years later during the whole Jack/James/Charming thing. Rumpel is several hundreds of years old so he had tons of chances to get beans. Little Miss Sneaky Fairy lied v_v why rump believed her is another story

True about that Miss Sneaky Fairy! Last example was Hook finding one to trade the JR with. Based on the timeline, it couldn’t have taken him long to find one. I like to think that the fairies had a big bag of them at one time after picking up a harvest from the giants that a new trainee fairy accidently dropped from the sky (kinda of like what the Nova did with the fairy dust) and were scattered by the wind all over FTL. :o)

July 14, 2014 at 8:22 pm #277319Hook’s GirlParticipantQuestions from 1×22 – A Land Without Magic
1×22 – Regina & Maleficent were friends, sort of. What did Maleficent do to make Regina want to “punish” her? Was it just for fighting Regina to prevent her from getting the Dark Curse back to protect Regina from herself?
1×22 – How did Maleficent & Regina become friends?
1×22 – How did Maleficent learn magic? Is she really a bad fairy or is she a witch?
1×22 – When and why was Maleficent given the curse to protect it?
1×22 – What made Rumple think that it’s a good idea to stick the true love potion in Maleficent’s belly (or neck)? Did he foresee that it would be retrieved later or was there another reason?
1×22 – What is Maleficent’s relationship with Rumple? Did they get along? Did he have something to do with her becoming the way she was, like Regina?
1×22 – Magic has been brought back. Has it been brought back to just Storybrooke, or to the entire world? Hint that it might be in other parts of the real world because in 2×18 we meet The Dragon who has magic over in Phuket.

I think this is it. I guess she expected Mal to comply with her and was angry she didn’t. Also, A&E said mal and Regina were “frenemies” so I don’t think they are as close as we think.
How did Maleficent & Regina become friends?
Birds of a feather flock together. They were both magical people angered by princesses so they helped eachother out it seems.
How did Maleficent learn magic? Is she really a bad fairy or is she a witch?
Fairy. Even before Malefivent the movie came out, I was sure OUAT would make her an evil fairy.
What made Rumple think that it’s a good idea to stick the true love potion in Maleficent’s belly (or neck)? Did he foresee that it would be retrieved later or was there another reason?
Well he may have known Regina would keep her in dragon form and also dragons in myths aren’t effected by magic so perhaps mal wouldn’t have been as effected by the curse as everyone else and he basically used her belly as a magic-proof box. Which is weird considering all of rumps stuff was safe in his own shop >>
