This is all a bit random, but I was thinking about a possible connection between the name “Baelfire” and the series “A Wheel of Time.” In that series, baelfire is a kind of weapon or magic. According to A Wheel of Time Wiki:
“Since before the Breaking of the World, the use of balefire has been forbidden. The White Tower forbids us even to learn it. In the War of Power, the Forsaken and the Shadowsworn themselves used it only reluctantly.”
When a target is struck with balefire, its thread in the pattern is destroyed, in an amount proportional to the power of the balefire strike. This translates to the target’s existence being completely erased, chronologically in reverse. For example, should an Aes Sedai use balefire on an attacking bandit, the bandit’s action of attacking the Aes Sedai and anything leading up to the action of the attack would be erased; this would be determined by the power of the balefire attack. The stronger the balefire, the further back in time the object in question will be burned from the pattern. This can have serious consequences on the pattern; the use of an extremely powerful blast of balefire to destroy a great number of lives at once has been shown to produce an effect referred to as a “balescream,” the sound of the Pattern itself groaning under the strain of rearranging itself around such a large gap. An interesting side effect of using balefire is that anyone that causes the “reversal” of time will still remember all the events that were undone as if they had actually happened even if the effects themselves no longer exist.
Perhaps Baelfire will help his dad defeat Peter Pan using the box that Belle holding. Will they try to change the course of time? I’m not sure exactly where I’m going with this or even if Adam and Eddy were inspired by that series to give the son of Rumple a strong name like Baelfire, but it’s very interesting nonetheless.

What if it’s not reversal of time but speeding it up. Make Pan age. That’s what Peter fears above everything in the books: the boy who never watned to grow up.

That is quite possible too. Everybody knows that the thing Peter Pan doesn’t want is to grow up. Could be his “fate worse than death”
Also, in thinking about the name Baelfire it simply means bonfire in Old English. Also, Baelfire used a match to scare away the Shadow in 2×21 since the shadow fears light. I’m thinking we’ll see Neal, Emma and Hook use fire to fight the shadows in the Dark Hollow according to the promo. I’m also thinking that NL is perpetually nighttime because the Shadow has grown so strong that it drowns out daylight in present-day NL. Once the Shadow is defeated, daylight will return.

Am I the only one surprised that Matt Kane will be John and James Immekus, Michael (or so we think)? I thought for sure it’d be the other way around, as the pictures we got from them off the internet had Matt blond and James dark haired.

Yeah, it is a bit surprising, since traditionally Michael is fair hailed and John has dark brown hair.

They were like that even in “Second Star to the Right”, which only adds to my surprise.
Maybe it’s not the Darling bros at all? (Though I really want it to be them)
I don’t think they are 🙂

It’s possible, sure, but honestly Glasses’s description fits John too well to think otherwise.
