    Right Wonderland was another world but traces of Wonderland does not exist in SB. Except Jefferson and who knows how he got to SB we think curse but do we know for sure? The answer is no but he certainly could have. Traces of FTL does exist in SB strange isn’t it? If it is suppose to be a whole new world but yet traces of the old. Think of who enacted the curse….Regina. Did she create it or knows what the entire result was going to be? The answer to that is no because had she it would have worked the first time she tried it. Rumple created it and he knows all about it I bet. If FTL was destroyed why not destroy everyone in it as well? He needs everyone in FTL to help in whatever he intends to acomplish. He wants to find Bae and it seems everyone is a part of it. Regina’s goal is to destroy everyone’s happy endings and Rumple’s is to find Bae but is destroying FTL part of it or can it just be a by product of their goal. Either way if they can both do it without destroying FTL they’d do it.

    Personally I dont think Rumps gives 2 flying figs about anyone other than himself (& Bae of course)- he uses people to get what he wants- if he can use you to move towards his goal he will, if you get in the way he will crush you. I think everyone came along for the ride because it was the only way for him to get to our world that he was able to come up with- after all he doesnt care if all their lives are ruined (he is the dark one lol) as long as he finds Bae 🙂

    True he does not give a flying fig but his power comes from manipulation. When you are all alone you have no one to manipulate thus no real power. Even though his main goal is to find Bae, he knows he cannot do it all alone. Yes he is the dark one but that power in rendered moot in SB. He enjoys achieving his goal through others’ efforts and when things goes sideways he also needs scapegoats. (Regina did both for him)

    That is true – but I still dont think he really gave much consideration to them coming other than they had to come, he has power of Regina with the please thing & everyone else other than Emma is a total bonus 😉

    Emma was seen leaving town with Henry. Does anyone think the request from Gold is for her return?

    I think that could be the case.

    hmmmm it’s not certain she manages to actually leave town though yet – Henry stated he has to come back, so that might play a role in her not managing to really leave as well & maybe Emma’s now trapped as well (she has gone to leave twice before now & twice hasn’t been able to- wolf on rd & was talked out of it, it’d go some way to helping her believe if she kept trying & random stuff just kept happening to prevent her from going over & over again)- She left with Booth yes, but the intent was never to leave for good, just quickly pop out & then come back- like Henry & some others do- we’ve seen cars driving that rd & people finding those that try to leave so they must have some leeway there IF they aren’t trying to leave SB.

    Emma in her defense is acting like anyone who had just heard that kind of news. How many movies have been made where there was a savior character involved and they do not want it, believe nor asked for it but yet they have to do it because it was their destiny?? Put youself in their place and have someone come right up to you and say you will save all of mankind or whatever?? How would you react? How would anyone act? In fact how should anyone act?? This type of thing does not happen everyday and you know what?…..I’d think it was far fetched too. Yes she was a trained law enforcement officer and bases her findings on facts and there are just not any smoking gun evidence to prove that they are all FT characters.

    Great Emma’s characterization in this episode. We finally see a bit of her we hadn’t seen before, which is her being a coward essentially. Yet, I think most people in her situation would have done the same thing.

    So in the Stranger, August points out that Emma doesn’t want to believe. It’s not like Emma doesn’t think it couldn’t be real, that SB could be FTL, but that she really, really, really doesn’t want that to be so. Emma doesn’t want to take up the responsibility of being the savior. So her magic is preventing her from seeing the truth. It’s granting her wish. Shows how powerful she is. Her magic is sooo subtle that she doesn’t even know that its affecting her.

    Being scared is not being a coward, in my opinion. She is going to do the right thing in the end. It isn’t like Rumpel who gets scared and always does the wrong thing.
