    Pinocchio had a thing for lies. He could have very easily lied to the police.

    More and more, I’m starting to think August is in fact Pinocchio. Pinocchio was known for lying. August seemingly lied about the lemurs. Also, Wayne Booth wrote about the “unreliable narrator” (another term for liar).

    What is August is Pinocchio and Bae?? This just occured to be the other day. The Blue Fairy changed wooden puppet Pinocchio into a real boy and it appears that she also had something to do with Rumple losing Bae. I’m wondering if this another one of those situations where they have taken some liberties with the fairy tale and had the Blue Fairy take Bae and turn him into a wooden puppet and give him to Gepetto. If August is, in fact, Pinocchio then he could also be Bae.

    I have thought the same thing but Bae was 12 or 13 when Rumple turned into the Dark One, and that happened hundreds of years ago. Even if Bae was under some sort of non aging spell, Pinocchio when we see him with Gepetto (at Snow/Charming’s war council), he is a rather young boy I would guess 5 or 6.

    I have thought several times that Jiminy as a young boy looks quite similar to real boy Pinnocchio.

    I thought about the age thing too. But wondered if the Blue Fair turned Bae into a wooden puppet that when he turned into a real boy that maybe he turned into a human form based more upon the size of the puppet than on the age he was in his previous human form. So if the puppet was the size of a 6 or 7 year old boy than the human form would end up being 6 or 7 years old – the same age as the kid who found Emma on the side of the road.

    Ugh…well in the preview for next week it looks like August has found Rumples Dagger… Here is to hoping that if he has it he will use it wisely…

    I also just saw the preview! I think that proves that he might either might be Bae or at least someone who knows about the dagger and what it does.

    Is that what he said?! I missed it because my kids were causing an uproar in the other room. Huh. But why then, I wonder?

    I don’t know but I am liking the Pinocchio theory more and more but if they did somehow combined Bae and Pinocchios story that would be awesome too.
