Episode Title

[Phee]

Thanks for the info. I’d been checking now and then to see if there was any new news on that show getting picked up or not. Hopefully, if they haven’t killed him off like some are speculating, that means they’ll include August a bit more in the future. Sucks for Eion and everyone who would have worked on Trooper though.

So I don’t know if anyone has posted this yet but the new TNT pilot that Eion was supposed to be starring in is now not going forward as of Jan. 15 so there is definetely a possibility of August coming back and he does not have to die since they could do more with his storyline since his schedule isn’t as full now..

This is probably going to sound mean, but I’m glad. Hopefully the ONCE writers will make Eion a series regular again for season 3.

I’m praying to all the gods in heaven that this will be August’s big comeback episode. But there’s also the possibility that this will be an Emma or Snow centric episode as well. Baelfire is also a possibilty. Bae was always brave and selfless, so maybe this episode will show how he adapted to life in our world after he came through the vortex.

True, it could apply to multiple characters, but given that the words are lifted directly from something Blue said to Pinoccho, I’ll be surprised if it’s not August centric.

Blue Fairy: Remember, Pinocchio. Be brave, truthful, and unselfish. So long as you do that, you will always remain a real boy.

“Selfless, Brave and True” would be the perfect name for the August redemption ep.

I know its mean but I am glad too I loved eion’s character for some reason even though he seems like a douche right now. I hope they redeem him a little…

Yeah, I hope that while we know he took Emma’s money, that he also never spent it, had it the whole time, waiting for the right time to give it to Emma, if he hasn’t already.

I saw a nice title analysis yesterday on tumblr that maybe the title refers to:

Nealfire = Selfless – because he’s not really, he’s been selfish

Hook = Brave – because he has actually been a coward in the face of death

Pinnochio/August = True – because he tells lies and isn’t a real human

Interaction between those three would be VERY interesting because they all have a very serious Emma connection. Seeing Hook/Emma/Nealfire interact especially.

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"

Entertainment Weekly article confirms the return of Eion Bailey as August for this episode.

I actually disagree, especially with Hook – he hasn’t been a coward, quite the opposite. Even back in FTL when Rumple as the Dark One challenges him to a duel, he still turns up, knowing fully well he has absolutely no chance against Rumple. And in Storybrooke, when Mr Gold is nearly about to kill him, he still welcomes it with a smirk. There are many bad names that I call Hook but coward is not one of them.
As for Nealfire, one could argue with that too. Yes, he left Emma but we still don’t know the exact cause of it. To me it looked like a selfless act, after all. He was in a lot of pain with that decision but he went into it despite him suffering, believing in the greater good.
