I just don’t like the idea that he is Pinocchio either. I am still hoping that any hints we have gotten are red herrings. And i just can’t quite get over the fact that little Pinocchio has red hair and freckles and August just does not. I am still hoping he is Bae or just someone else.

About the physical aspect of Pinocchio. I don’t have an issue of August being Pinocchio despite the difference in appearance because when I was a child I had red hair and now my hair has darkened. As you get older physical appearance can change.

Is your hair still red though? And Pinocchio is already old enough where i think he would still have red hair and freckles the rest of his life.

There are traces of red in my hair, but my hair is primarily a dark brown now. The only time the red comes out is if I’ve been in the sun for a really, really long time. Freckles can also fade with time to the point where they aren’t noticeable.

Isn’t the Mother Superior’s hair a red shade but the Blue Fairy has dark hair?

Ok in one of the versions of the story of Pinocchio I found this.

At long last, Pinocchio and Geppetto reached home. The puppet worked late into the night weaving reed baskets to make money for his father and himself. One day, he heard that the fairy after a wave of bad luck, was ill in hospital. So instead of buying himself a new suit of clothes, Pinocchio sent the fairy the money to pay for her treatment.

One night, in a wonderful dream, the fairy appeared to reward Pinocchio for his kindness. When the puppet looked in the mirror next morning, he found he had turned into somebody else. For there in the mirror, was a handsome young lad with blue eyes and brown hair. Geppetto hugged him happily.

“Where’s the old wooden Pinocchio?” the young lad asked in astonishment. “There!” exclaimed Geppetto, pointing at him. “When bad boys become good, their looks change along with their lives!”

Thanks for posting that! Good boys get the baby blue eyes. 😉

That sure makes the pushed direction make more sense. I still feel like they are making it too obvious– but that could just be because I’m digging for details too. I was really hung up on the looks thing after last week’s episode, but that version you found could justify it for sure.
