ParticipantThey don’t have threads like that on this show on accident. It’s A Thing, and I choose to look upon it optimistically.
It’s definitely a Thing! It’s really interesting how much SF suggestion there was in True North. Isn’t that the ep that August first appeared in too, or am I misremembering?

ParticipantNope, you’re spot on. I almost typed up a full TN analysis but I was really trying to keep it to the compass-y stuff. I consider TN to be pretty much as much a SF episode as Price of Gold.

Yup, it is
@DSB I love the whole compass analysis!!

ParticipantI know, the compass analysis is AMAZING.
I want to look more closely at Emma’s flower tattoo, the decor in her nursery (including on the unicorn mobile!), and the dreamcatchers…
It might be a reach but I’m seeing motifs that tie together there. Look at the dream sequence of David’s in 314.

ParticipantSo basically, he’s carrying on like there could be more main character death, but we were only told that ONE will die. Again, he could just be trolling so as not to give anything away, but then how hard is it to answer a question without implying that main character death is an option still on the table?
Hmmmm… or how hard is it just to say very squarely to stop the madness from SF fans “It was Neal. It was MRJ.” And we know that Adam knows that Neal/Bae/Swanfire/MRJ fans are holding out hope because SHATNER. He’s allowing Shatner to hold on hope…

Well this was just brought to my attention but the tiara Emma is wearing in the Past!FTL is the same she was wearing in the dream sequence of 314

ParticipantOooh sneaky. They did that with the Lacey/Belle dream sequence jewelry too.
So what does THAT mean?
Also, I’m scared…I’m getting hopeful again…like hopeful enough I almost believe Neal really will come back…that’s dangerous.

ParticipantI about freaked the flip out when I realized that entire nursery was decorated in dreamcatchers. The best shots we get of it, actually, are in the Pilot. When The Curse comes, it busts through the big, dreamcatchery window up top. Broken dreams, hey, as Snowing puts their tiny baby through a wardrobe portal? Anyways, it’s another one of those Things that says to me, “Hey, SF was the game plan all along…”
Anyways, yeah, I think Charming’s dream in 314 is a huge key. The mobile spins, the top is a dreamcatcher. 314, come to think of it, is when things really went off the rails. If – and I know it’s a huge if – this season was *supposed* to be off the rails, maybe that nightmare was intended to be a key trigger to segue us into the rest of the season. (Of course, if that’s what they were going for, I think they failed horribly – and I hope they don’t try anything so insane again!) Not sure about the tattoo; I’ve never really spent that much time analyzing it but I would be super interested to hear any thoughts anyone might have! I know they have shot down the idea of it being a Buttercup as a Princess Bride thing, and supposedly it is just from Charming’s crest.
Lecygne, they can’t say that, because #nospoilers and the spoiler just said before the end of S3. So they won’t confirm it until the end of S3, I get that – but there is a difference between not saying, “Yep, that’s what that spoiler was,” and implying that the spoiler is still hanging out there… if that makes a difference?
BTW, on my list of “things that must happen someday,” Emma *needs* that mobile. It just kinda hangs out in Gold’s shop, like no one bothers with its significance. Sometime before this series wraps, I really need for it to make it into her hands – to be hung wherever she decides is home.

ParticipantExcuse me, ABC? How is it romantic that Hook was happy Emma was heartbroken?
Emma Tells Hook That Walsh Broke Her Heart
When Hook says Emma should be grateful he saved her from a loveless marriage, Emma reveals that she was in love with Walsh and was heartbroken by his betrayal. Believe it or not, Hook says that’s a good thing.If a guy I knew told me he was happy to see me devastated over a bad breakup he’d no longer be welcomed in my life. He’d be out the door for good!

ParticipantYeah, that list from ABC is a wreck. I think whomever compiled it needs some lessons on romance, and on what a functional relationship looks like.
