FAVORITE AND LEAST FAVORITE MOMENTS from this episode 5 x 16 OUR DECAY

But Zelena was chosen to fill the seat of innocence in Oz’s witch table. Thus, despite its origins, I suspect her child could similarly serve the purpose. That’s why she and Belle, both being familiar with the requirements, believed Hades wanted the child.

Oh definitely, I could see that being the case. I just think it can’t be ANY baby or symbol of innocence.

"To leave an enemy without an answer, say these words to him: Aglaria Pidhol garia Ananus Qepta" and blow in his direction; then he will not know which way he is headed and cannot answer you." - Swedish Trollproverb

I remember Belle mentioning that others had tried time travel before but it never worked. The one thing they all had in common were the ingredients of courage, heart, wisdom, and innocence. I think the only reason why Zelena’s spell worked and the others didbt was because Zelena found the perfect ingredients or the perfect representation of each symbol.

Ah, interesting about Belle’s comment… but I’m still confused. What’s a perfect symbol? First, symbols/signs don’t have a predetermined relationship to the thing they signify (or symbolize), which is why multiple languages/systems of representation are possible. And second, signs don’t exist outside of an interpretant (for simplicity’s sake, the person or community of people who agree on their meaning). Are you saying the spell is the interpretant of the symbol? I suppose that’s possible (as with the Dark Curse and Regina’s horse), but there’s this whole additional degree of separation with the time travel spell, where a replica of Rumple’s brain (rather than the actual thing) could function as a symbol of intelligence or wisdom. That’s a different type of representation than a straight up symbol in the vein of Owl=symbol of wisdom; baby=symbol of innocence; or red rose = symbol of romantic love.

Also I love how Belle and Rumple understand each other so quickly…he knows when the gig is up, and she understands what he’s trying to say with little more than a gesture, as impossible as what he has to tell her is.

This was my favorite episode so far. Loved every moment of it. Can’t think of a complaint.
