Will the flashbacks on Once Upon a Time next season show what’s happened over the last decade? <em style=”box-sizing: inherit;”>— Hope
I’d put good money on the flashbacks filling in some of those blanks, but considering several of the characters that will be returning — Hook and Rumple, among them — have been around for quite a long time, the series could potentially flash back even further than that. “That’s one of the great advantages of having characters who can be hundreds of years old, we can span different eras and do many different things,” EP Adam Horowitz says.

[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Ugh that sounds horrible. Not to mention more opportunities for them to use the riveting memory potion plot device.
I really was trying to be positive and not trying to be negative to avoid making people that were excited about next season upset, but after reading this, my brain could not stop saying:”oh great more RETCON”.
"I offended you with my opinion? Ha, you should hear the ones I keep to myself".
I think it means, like in the previous season of OUAT, things going on in modern day will be connected to things in the past, and I don’t like it.
Rump doesn’t have to be connected to everyone.
Hook I’m okay with because I’m assuming its going to be Tiger Lily related and I’d like to see that.
But, eh. This isn’t news. But its nice to know that at least some of the flashbacks will cover what happened in Storybrook. Hope we get Jared back to film some scenes.

Why would it be Tiger Lily related? They didn’t like each other, he was her adversary cause he was Pan’s errand boy.
Because Tiger Lily and Hook both lived on Neverland for centuries and know each other. I’m sure they have had plenty of encounters and rivalries.
Tiger Lily seems to be sticking around this season (I’m guessing she’s Lucy’s fairy godmother) so I’m sure we will get flashbacks of her time in Neverland and since Hook is here, with no Emma, they got to give him something to do so I’m sure he will be weaved into that. Seems the most plausible thing for both of them. If only they could get Robbie back to play Pan

Maybe they could even patch up the tattered remains of the Dark One mythos. I hate retcon, but maybe they won’t do it this time. Maybe they’ve learned their lesson and will go fourth and retcon no more. Unless they go fourth and retcon their retcons. That would be ok, right?
Memory potions are absolutely the worst crutch this show has ever leaned on. Stop using them.
As for Hook the only Hook flashback I’m hungry for right now is the one that explains his trips too and from Neverland. Because as many times as we’ve seen Hook appear in The Enchanted Forest he really should’ve aged a little. Sometimes the show makes me feel like he just visits Neverland once and awhile, but in order to stay young he’d basically need to live there and that’s not the way it feels. I agree getting Peter Pan back for a few episodes would be great!
Regina flashbacks can’t (or at least shouldn’t) happen without Snow. We know what Regina did for most of her adult life already. She isn’t old enough to flashback into the pre-Snow White Era. And frankly even if they got Josh & Ginny back, I am so tired of flashbacks to the Snow White Era.
Still I think Once: The Next Generation has a chance at being good. I just don’t want it to be a thing where everyone who isn’t Rumple,Hook,Regina,oldHenry has been kidnapped or something and they spend every episode saying variations on ‘I will find you.’.
I actually still think we might get an alternate universe of these characters. So the flashbacks would be how that alternate universe came to our world, how these characters are different, the parallels between these characters and the ones we know, and what their motivations are. I can see Rumple still getting Regina or maybe Lucy’s mom to enact the dark curse to bring them here maybe because he knows that in this universe he has a family and wants to take over that life (parallel to finding Bae, maybe he does not even realize that Neal is not alive in this universe. Now how this would work or if we would find it interesting, I don’t know. I just don’t see A and E deliberately messing with the ending of Season 6 because they are scared that they would upset fans. If they did this the returning characters would still have to be very similar to the ones we know, but they could be interacting with different characters in different ways. Maybe Henry does not know he has a child because in this reality he does not but the Alternate Reality Henry does. I know probably not correct.

Personally I like the idea of alternate realities because that would free them up to reset the villains back to their most interesting setting and we can still keep the happy beginning for our characters. They could even have a peep hole or something to see into ‘our’ Storybrooke and see how happy their alternate selves are.
Manic crazy golden Rumple: “What do you mean I have a wife and children? I’m the Dark One!”
Revenge obsessed charming Hook: “I do like the blond.”
Evil quip-mistress Regina: “What the heck am I wearing?”
