I’v been thinking that Dr. Whale is somehow tied to Camelot.

Who in Camelot can Whale be? I was thinking Whale was tied to The Litlle Mermaid.
May 8, 2012 at 10:28 pm #145994clockwatcherParticipantSo, my friends and I have been thinking about the possibility of time travel, and time fluctuations, etc., and Brookenstory brought up a great point:
Has anyone considered the title of the show- Once Upon A TIME!?
The title literally means an unspecific point in time. It’s completely general.
What if FTL actually IS… one time. If time is frozen in FTL as well. For example, the EQ posions SW at the same time Charming saves Fredrick, which happens at the same time Grumpy meets SW, etc.
This could explain how Regina was able to reach into the hat and pull out an apple from over 28 years ago. If time always fluctuates in FTL, so although the characters live their lives like normal, a stranger entering may step into any time period.
In that way, FTL could very much be like SB in the way that time is frozen; the people in SB just don’t have memories, and maybe (I’ve heard this theory discussed) people forget specific memories day to day, and the characters in SB only remember generalities.
It’s just a thought, but it was a really good idea, Brookenstory!
I hope this makes sense…. 🙂May 8, 2012 at 10:39 pm #145996charmingParticipantYeah, Pinnochio left FTL as a 7 years old boy but is now in SB as a 35 years old man. Emma left as an infant and came back to SB as a 28 years old woman. Baelfire left FTL according to some accounts centuries ago so he is now what? still Henry’s dad? How is this a possible if there are many theories that conflict with one another? We can;t have every theory to make everything come true. I’m not saying the theory previously mentioned isn’t good but it conflicts with many facts that we all can see by watching and rewatching episodes. Please explain.
May 8, 2012 at 10:50 pm #145999clockwatcherParticipantWell, according to the fluctuating time theory above, FTL (whether that encompasses all of the doors in the hat or just the EF) is one strand of time, and our “real world”, SB, is another strand of time. In the strand of FTL, time fluctuates, but the characters live their times like normal, like we would, even though if an outsider were to enter FTL, they may enter into a time that would me, say, 10 B.C.E. in our world. Because SB is a different strand of time, time works differently, and our time would always progress forward at a steady rate. So, a character could cross over from FTL to SB and age, because in SB, time moves at a normal forward pace. Except, of course, in SB.
I would say this is because the curse specifically stops time. But maybe it doesn’t. Maybe SB is frozen in time just as FTL is (kind of), except that in FTL, the characters retain their memories, and in SB, the characters’ memories disappear (which is what the curse aims to do).May 8, 2012 at 10:56 pm #146000brookenstoryParticipantThink of it as Once Upon a Time. It seems like they’re describing a place, not a time period. So perhaps with the hat, time periods can be places, and behind the doors as well.
May 8, 2012 at 11:07 pm #146003charmingParticipantSo how if all of that is possible as previously said can Emma and Pin not defy time but if everyone wants Bae to be Henry’s father he can? I’m not saying the theory is bad it is probably a theory that I have heard with a real good explaination. Yet, if this one is true it does destroys a lot of others and conflicts with current characters’ ages.
May 8, 2012 at 11:25 pm #146005clockwatcherParticipantWell, if you want one theory that could support the “Bae is Henry’s father” theory:
Maybe when Bae was transported to a “land without magic, he didn’t go to our world, but to a different world/dimension. There, he met Jefferson, and, for whatever reason, came to our world. If what we consider FTL is really just the EF (Enchanted Forest), and FTL includes many of he different worlds in Jeff’s hat (which may explain how Jefferson was taken from Wonderland into SB), then whichever world Bae was transported to was also frozen in time. Maybe this prevents him from aging, maybe not. Maybe it depends on the world. But if he DIDN’T age, then being transported from the land without magic to SB would make him continue to age and then he MIGHT be the age of a man who could be Henry’s father.
OR, Bae is long dead, and I just wrote a long explanation for a crazy, impossible theory 😆May 8, 2012 at 11:35 pm #146006charmingParticipant@Clockwatcher wrote:

May 8, 2012 at 11:46 pm #146008clockwatcherParticipantWow, thank you! 😀
Although, I have heard whispers of Bae being Jefferson, which could explain a lot, and raise more questions…. but that theory his highly unlikely 😉 -
