    I’ve been thinking about it and… I think Merlin is a child of True Love. How else could he be the most powerful mage in the realms. They’ve established that TL is the most powerful magic there is. I think Merlin, like Emma, wields that magic. He probably isn’t too wholesome though.
    Do we know who Merlins patents are? (not familiar with this particular stories and such). Maybe they are a TL coupling. I dont see why Snowing would be the only TL in the whole world.

    Do you think it’s possible that they had already cast Merlin before the finale? I ask this because I just noticed William Shatner’s twitter cover photo…

    (Although we all know that he is a big fan so there is a very big chance that he’s just having fun – and it’s clearly not a real script since there is none yet)

    Well first, Snowing aren’t the only TL couple in the whole world. There are others like Ella and her prince, Aurora and Philip. It’s just that Snowing is the center of our story and that they are the truest love of true love.

    As for Merlin, I think the legends differ? But if I recall he’s born of a mortal woman and some sort of mythological creature (incubs?)

    Maybe Sir Medrut knows.

    That would be fun but I kind of doubt it

    At one pountthey said they hadn’t casted the sorcerer yet, and they said we would see the sorcerer this season so I presumed he was already casted. But seeing as how we eont see him till next, I’m not sure whether or not they even casted him. Although Sorcerer Shatner would be BOSS!!!
    As for TL couples, it just seems odd that they elevate Emma to like goddess status because shes a child of TL but there are at least 3 other TL babies in town. Idk. Thinking too hard I guess. I mean,I just figured TL most not be that common or something? Idk…

    Sorcerer Shatner would be SO much fun to watch.  I’d LOVE a brief storyline or scene with him and EF Dark One Rumplestiltskin.  I will have no other for the Sorcerer!! ?

    While I’m aware ol’ Billy Boy is a big fan of the show, and that picture could just be about his love of OUAT…. Idk man.  It’s intriguing that the mock script in the picture reads ‘Season 5 Episode 1’.  The To-Do list on the left says ‘Execute Plan: Robin Hoodwinked’.  Maybe he’s just acknowledging the future season, and making a reference to Robin & Zelerian.  Yet, it’s a wee bit curious that the two phrases are in the same photo.  Or I’m reading too much into it lol.

    This would definitely make sense within the Show; I hope they are consistent and do this, even if it means TL between human and a mythical creature (yuck-same for Eric and Ariel, but I digress) . To make Merlin more powerful than Emma, and Emma possesses the most powerful magic of all, he would need to possess a magic that is so powerful that it has been kept secret from all the different dimensions/worlds…giving Rumple and all the others the impression that Emma has the most powerful magic.

    I wonder if Emma will become the next sorcerer, just as Henry is the new author. If not then maybe should could be the next Arthur (who wasn’t magical, I know, but was a savior of a kind), and if Lily straightens herself out (like, by Emma and Lily swapping a bit of light and darkness), then maybe she would be the next sorcerer.
