Calling All Clockwatchers

[clockwatcher]

Hey, guys!
Since the finale episode, most everyone has been watching the clock, and providing all different theories about if/why the clock stopped at 8:15, and what it means.
Is time frozen again?
Is the curse re-started?
Will everyone forget their lives in SB?
Now, you guys be the clockwatchers. What do you think? 😉

I personally don’t think that the curse is starting over again or that they would lose their memories. That’s a quick way to lose their audience, and after reading some theories

With the cast talking, especially Snow about her relationship with Emma

I am lead to believe that the curse did not start again.

I am curious if a new curse is now intertwined with the older curse, or preventing the other curse from becoming broken, but as stated, I don’t think they went back to square one.

Perhaps its just symbolic like the opening of the eye was for LOST.

Yeah, I think it was just a way of going back around to the pilot episode. Do we really know that the clock stopped?

I suppose I tied in Mr. Gold’s words to Belle — “there’ll be time for that, there’ll be time for everything” — in with the clock ending on 8:15/8:16. My thought has been that the clock is stopped again (that’s why there’ll be time for everything no worries or hurry), but not because of a renewed curse, but because of the release of true love’s magic engulfing SB. That’s just where I automatically landed in thought without really thinking it through. We’ll find out for sure in the fall whether or not the clock is stopped.

I think the clock is simply symbolic of a new game set up. This chess game has ended. Now we’re playing Reversi (or something) so everyone’s score (or clock) is reset to zero.

Also stopping the clock is just useless logistically anyway because Jared Gilmore isn’t going to quit aging. If they’d killed Henry, they could have stopped the clock. But he’s alive and well and the kid’s not out of a job so the clock must still be moving.

I don’t think they can stop the clock, meaning stop the aging, because it causes all sorts of problems for the child characters in the show who will get older and change and they need to allow that to happen on screen.

I think everyone will retain their memories because i know i would find it disappointing if they reset all of the character growth we had this season, but just had Emma believe. I would feel like haven’t we done this before. And they have a great place to move to. They can have all of these reintroductions with Emma getting to know her parents now that she knows who they are and they know themselves which is what i want to see. I want those scenes and not some sort of reset where Emma is meeting and becoming friends with Mary all over again.

They just need to move forward, in my opinion, and not back.
