Hello 🙂 I’m new to forums here, but really enjoying chewing on all the theories going around and something I’ve been thinking of has stopped me in my tracks.
I’ve seen a lot of theories on Baelfire being Henry’s father, or the Mysterious person in “Broken” (Whom I believe is White Rabbit actually due to the waist coat he was wearing, all the clocks on the shelves in his room, and the pocket watch and monocle hanging on hooks by his front door) But my question comes down to this.
How does time pass in the Enchanted Forrest, compared to time in the land with no magic? When Rumple became the Dark One, and eventually lost Baelfire through the portal, Baelfire was around 14. Then…time continued in fantasy land. According to a tweet by Jane Espenson, about “Skin Deep” (Linked here https://oncepodcast.com/once-upon-a-time-podcast-015-skin-deep-s01e12/) It had been CENTURIES that Rumple had been cursed from the first Ogre war until this one. But Baelfire had gone through the portal …….if time passes the same, even pre-curse, in the Enchanted Forrest and in the real world, then Baelfire isn’t likely to be Henry’s father. Centuries would make him quite an old man……Thoughts?
[adrotate group="5"]If the same amount of time passed by in both worlds, then I’m pretty sure Bae would be long dead by now. Unless he managed to find a fountain of youth to stay alive….
Depends on ‘when’ Bae came through the portal to ‘our world’…Emma and Pino came through in approx. 1983
Ok Gypsy, I see what you’re saying and definitely a possible thought, despite his age and time between his portal and the curse, maybe Bae came through close to a modern time than just linearly with a parallel timeline. Hmmmm.
coffeeluvn- yeah it’s tough to determine Bae’s age. Lots of what-if’s. There is a theory that Bae is also Peter Pan (part of TheGoldenKeys’ great theory) as well as Henry’s father. If that’s the case, Bae could’ve spent xx amount of years in Neverland, not aging, before he came to ‘our world’…which means, Bae could’ve came ‘here’ whenever. The Blue Fairy told Bae to follow the magic bean wherever it leads him (he wanted to go a land without magic, doesn’t mean he did). Plus, even ‘our world’ had some magic…Pino and Emma came through the portal in our world, it would have to have magic for that to work in our world. She also said it was the last bean, because the other one’s ‘got away from them’ (the fairies)…so, that means there ARE more magic beans, which , I would guess, lead to other world’s. The fact there are 3 beans in Gold’s shop- in the Untold Stories app- may be a clue, that we may see more of these beans and where they led who.
