Meet the New Robin Hood! From TVLine

[Lauren]

what if robin hood lives in this world..dunno if anyone suggested it probably have but the robin hood story is British and Sherwood Forrest is in Nottingham so what if Robin Hood was sent over here and joined the home office as a way to return to his world and his family but unknowingly to him they already here and are evil ie Tamara! :S

Yeah, there’s still plenty of storyline left in THO. I was re-watching SSTTR last night, and during the scene where Greg was torturing Regina, she was mocking him for thinking that he and Tamara could achieve their goal, and he was all, “Who said there’s just two of us? We’re everywhere.” Then he told her how after he left SB as a kid, everyone thought he was crazy when he talked about magic, but then there were people who listened to him, people who believed in magic, and believed it didn’t belong in this world and were gonna get rid of it. And Regina was all, “You can’t eradicate the magic from this world, ” and Greg was all, “Damn straight we can, you think this is the first time we’ve done it?” THO has knowledge, power, history, plenty of other minions just like GOAT, and an interest in SB. They will most definitely be a factor in S3.

Agreed. This is what makes me think that the second half of S3 will be about THO in our world seeking retribution for whatever the JR6 end up doing in NL.

Which is why I haven’t given up on my crack theory that Grandma is Dorothy just yet, because if they maybe wanna lead into Oz for S4, and they’re dealing with THO in the 2nd half of S3, having Oz folks involved in THO would provide for a nice, natural progression.

I kind of hope there is an actual HO, and Pan just intercepted the GOAT team, or that there’s an even larger threat beyond Pan’s goals.

I think about LOST here.
There were multiple groups scrambling for power, not just one “mastermind” of everything. Ultimately it did boil down mostly to a chess match between two ancient brothers affected by the island, but their respective pawns made some of their own decisions sometimes counter to what the brothers wanted, and perhaps the island itself played a role in some things happening.

So maybe Rumpel is a powerful pawn in someone else’s game, just as Regina was one in his, but you still need more story and challenges ahead beyond Pan. The buck can’t stop there! We’re only in season 3.

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

Yes! That’s another reason why I think it could be cool if there are Oz connections to THO. Perhaps they were helping PP as a means to an end of their own. Like, sure, they helped PP get Henry, but along the way, THO also got PP’s help to hunt down and destroy some magic in this world. So let’s say the Wizard is the one running THO, and then even after PP is taken care of, he can still pose a threat, which will carry through to the next adventure for our heroes.

I think THO has to exist in some real form. Based on what Greg told Regina, which Phee has already pointed too, THO has been active for quite some time and is highly proficient at their job. They may have started off being a part of NL and PP but then developed on their own seeing as how the CEO, head boss man, was a 17 yr old in a different realm.
