ParticipantThe reports of the filming have me very excited, despite the wacky spoilers coming out.
If I’ve understood the themes of the series then, we’ve been told that love is greater than hate and forgiveness is greater than revenge.
I hope that during the next several months everyone keeps in mind that filming schedules don’t necessarily mean anything. For example, if one episode wraps on Tuesday and the next episode begins filming on Wednesday, an actor may work out a filming schedule that front loads work on the first episode and back loads work on the next episode to get a week off. In that time an actor may fly to LA, or anywhere, and it would mean nothing for the character. Believe. 🙂

Yes, that is an awesome crack theory I’d love to see come true! Chris Gorham’s character being linked to Dorothy would be very fitting, seeing as the theme of her story was getting back home again. Chris Gorham’s character helping Emma and Neal get home to one another would be a perfect tie-in to the Oz story!

KeymasterI like your crack theory, Ranisha.
Count me in as well! they were calling him Henry on set apparently. So he could be Dorothy’s son, named Henry after he uncle.

I really like your theory too Ranisha. I hope that’s where they’re going with things because that would be quite a wonderful story to watch unfold in S3 part 2!! 😀

Wise words to live by, Molly! Thanks, and yes, *believe in second chances.* 🙂

THAT ESSAY WINS ALL THE THINGS!!! Wow, that was seriously spot on and beautifully written. I LOVE THE SF STORY!!!
Ranisha, I’ve been thinking for a little while now that he could well be Dorothy’s son, and I love your crack theory for how he could be tied to both Neal and Emma. Son of Dorothy drawn to both the son of Rumplestintskin and the daughter of Snow and Charming, all these children of well known story book characters ending up associating with each other in our world without any conscious effort on their parts. Yes, good, I love it.

ParticipantI was just thinking about how writers often misdirect us. For example, the writers did this for August W. Booth by making a lot of us think he was Baelfire in “The Return” only to discover in “The Stranger” he was really Pinocchio. I’ve been thinking for a while now that the CS kiss in 3×5 and Hook showing up at Emma’s doorstep in 3×11 are really misdirections which are meant to distract us and keep many guessing about the actual story of Emma and Neal’s final reconciliation. Misdirection is a common literary device that’s used in TV and film scripts. This tactic is used by a magician who seeks to divert our attention to look up while he secretly slips a coin from his sleeve into his hand to make it look like the coin just magically appeared. Just a thought I had as I consider that 3×12 would seemingly be about Hook trying to get Emma to remember by TLK, and yet, we now know Christopher Gorham also filmed that episode with Jennifer Morrison. We now have reason to believe Chis’ character might be integral in the story of Swanfire. I think Hook showing up on Emma’s doorstep at the end of 3×11 was a deliberate distraction from the actual point that it’s the dreamcatcher and the potion, not Hook’s kiss, which will jog Emma’s memories.
