I wonder if the Mystery Man is in fact Henry’s dad, and the writers are gonna lead us around to make us think that he’s Bae. I saw a video from comic con where someone in the audience asked Jenny Morrison if Henry’s dad was Bae, so the writers already know what we’re expecting.
The thing about that kind of thing is that it makes everything unnecessarily complicated. They have to leave clues about things like that or the truth will seem like it just fell from the sky. But to hardcore fans–the real weirdos that spend all their time on the forms trying to figure out what’s going to happen next–those clues give it away. I don’t think they would risk completely confusing the 99% of people who just watch just to throw the other 1% of us off the trail…
I reckon that now that they’ve done the Bae fake out once, they won’t do it again. In the previous case, there was a point for it in the storyline, because August was trying to deceive Mr Gold for his own purposes. If they did it again, where Neal isn’t really Bae, but they make it look like he is, it’d just be the writers messing with the audience, because why would Neal be trying to make himself look like Bae if he’s not? And given the uproar the last time they tricked the viewers about Bae’s identity, I dunno that they’d risk the wrath a second time. 😛
[adrotate group="5"]True. But has anyone noticed that we are talking about Neal as if we KNOW it’s Bae. I mean, he totally is, but wouldn’t it be kind of funny if he turns out to just be Henry’s dad. (it’s so not going to happen, but still…)
😆 Actually, I’m still open to the possibility that he’s NOT Bae, and IS just Henry’s father. Though I think that odds are he WILL be both, but I’m keeping an open mind. We haven’t seen much of him yet, haven’t even heard him speak, so all the hints that people think he’s Bae are just speculation based on the stuff from his apartment. But people have used that stuff to speculate about him being several people, so they haven’t given any blatant, “This is absolutely only something that only Bae would say, do, know or have,” moments yet. Once that does happen though, then I don’t think they’ll turn around and make him not Bae.
Phee is totally right. He could be just some guy with no fairytale connection at all, or he could be one of the numerous characters that -could- be attached to the evidence in his room. The problem is a lot of people want him to be Bae SO bad that they are looking specifically at things in a “This is why he could be Bae” way.
People have wanted Bae to be Henry’s father ever since the first time we ever saw Bae. So safe to say, a fair chunk of the fandom has become emotionally invested in that particular theory.
I think we’ll find out if he’s Henry’s father or not in this episode, but it might take some before we find out if he’s Bae or not.
Agreed. Even if he is both, I doubt they’d resolve BOTH of those points in the same ep. The Bae reveal deserves its own centric ep, not a side mention in an Emma ep.

He may not have said anything yet but his body language sure screamed out Bae. Bae had a seriousness to him that no child that age should have had. That look in his eyes, on his face, was pretty distinctive. I saw the very same look in MRJ as he looked out that window. The resemblance to young Bae was uncanny.

I think that Jennifer saying that she has always known, she knew since before the pilot was aired, has always been the greatest proof that the father is Bae. Who else could it be. Who else was always part of the fabric of the story. Unless Bae was just made up right before Desperate Souls and they were like hey lets have Rumpel have a son, which maybe, but considering that is supposed to be the purpose behind Rumpel doing the curse then well it seems like that should have been thought out.
I am never quite sure with these producers because sometimes they seem thoughtful in what they are doing and other times completely thoughtless.
I do think that Bae is the father though and that he is the mystery man. I think there is no chance that the father is a regular guy, though i wouldn’t have minded that, but the producers joked about that in way that said he is not a regular guy at comic con. I think the father has to be someone and since that is true that really the only character we know is Bae that is out there. I don’t want it to be true though, i would rather someone else. Though we have been talking about Bae being the father for so long that i have come around a bit more to the idea. We will see what sort of man he has become.
K&H have always said that this story/series is centered around Rumple’s story. Thus, whose story could be more important or equal to Rumple’s? His son Bae’s. Phee also pointed out that Peter Pan is Adam Horowitz’ favourite fairy tale. For those of us who have always believed we’d see Bae as Peter Pan and Henry’s father, the clues have always been there. The fact that they tied in Rumple’s family so closely to Hook just adds more support to this. Bae as Rumple’s son, can not be a minor fairy tale character. He has to be BIG and they don’t come any bigger than Peter Pan. Mind you, I could support Robin Hood.
