Interview with Kitsis&Horowitz

I posted it on the Comic Con thread already, but I guess it’s even better here:

Many things we knew, but it’s more absolute and with little details, that make it even harder to wait for the 2nd season!

Thank you for uploading this! I just love finally getting a meaty interview to chew on after such a long hiatus!

First glimpse of Coimc-con 2012 full-time cast (except we’re missing Robert Carlyle, who plays Rumpel):

"That’s how you know you’ve really got a home. When you leave it, there’s this feeling that you can’t shake. You just miss it." Neal Cassidy

Since first reading that first interview the other day, I’ve been thinking about what they said about magic:

Magic is coming to Storybrooke. Is next season about the battle for the most magic, especially between the Evil Queen and Rumpelstiltskin?
Edward Kitsis: [It’s about] why you need it. So, I look at magic more of a currency than an object to fight over. It’s why do you need money? Do you need money to buy a house? Do you need money to get something you want? I would say that magic, in a lot of ways, comes with a price. Why do you need and what price are you willing to pay for it?
Adam Horowitz: Also, that was one of the themes of Season 1, which is magic has a price. In Season 2, it is, what does that price mean in our world?

Because magic has a price, does this mean everyone is in danger now?
Kitsis: When you see the fairy-tale flashbacks, there is magic but there are people who don’t use it. … Not everyone is a practitioner of it, but everyone is used to living in it. But if I have just woken up after a 28-year sleep and I realize that magic’s back, I would also start to worry. “Oh no, is the queen and Rumpel going to start doing it again? Are we going to be in the middle? What scores still need to be settled?”

Will we be surprised by certain people who are able to wield magic, like maybe Emma?
Kitsis: That’s an excellent question. I would respond with a question. The question is: Can anyone learn magic or does it have to be something inside you?

I’m totally intrigued by how magic is gonna work in Storybrooke. Will the people who had it automatically get those same powers back? Or will they have to re-learn it? And will people who didn’t use it before, be able to get hold of it and use it now? The way they liken it to a currency, sort of sounds like it’s something that everyone will have access to, doesn’t it? I’m thinking like a scenario kind of like in a video game, where all the additional powers/ammo you need are there for the taking, you just need to know where to look and how to get it so then you can use it. So everyone starts on an even playing field, and it’s a matter of who knows how to acquire and use the tools available to play the game to their best advantage.

Or maybe it’ll be more simple than that and the same people will get their same powers back and then the non-magical people will need to align themselves with a certain side in order to get what they need. But I’d been pondering that other idea for a couple of days now, so just had to put it out there.
