I have to admit I am very excited about MANHATTAN!!! It was maybe my favorite episode to film. So much happens this Sunday!!

I agree. With so many star wars themes coming up- it’s to do with Henry’s future- be it good or bad.
Maybe it goes along the lines of ‘if events take course A) Henry goes all Darth Vader on EF’s butt- if they go course B) He goes all Jedi type thing- this could easily hold true for it being about Emma as well I suppose.
After all who would suspect Henry (or Emma) could turn Dark- yet it happened to cute little innocent Anakin 😉
It could come down to either something Rumple does or doesn’t do. Maybe it comes down to Henry learning magic or not (much like Anakin learning to use the ‘Force’ = him becoming Darth Vader) – there is a star wars parallel if there ever was one for SB

I think this just maybe the episode where we really start getting into lining up the “final battle” which we have seen diddly-squat of so far this season- makes sense if we have the makings of battle lines finally coming into focus in the later part of the season, who the most likely game players are for each side & why, as well as who the wild cards are & which way they are likely to swing when the dodo hits the fan.

ARE YOU SURE IT IS NOT SHAPE SHIFTING CORA OR REGINA GETTING HER HANDS ON HENRY. THE NUANCES ARE ALWAYS ADDED POST PRODUCTION ??

I think this is all setting Henry up to be a big hero in the show, especially given how he’s tired of reading about heroes. If the what the seer said is something like him going evil or something maybe he will be one of those people who are able to change their stars. This may have been foreshadowed last session when he tore the ending out of the book; i know it was done for a practical purpose but it could have deeper meaning.

I doubt it had anything to do with Henry becoming the nest dark one. it seems like whatever the seer said, Rumple originally thought it was Bae, but if it was about the dark one, I don’t think Rumple would brink that sort of darkness around him…not if he had forewarning.

I like that. Henry as someone who can change fate. Change The Seers predictions of what will be.

All these spoilers about the final scene, Henry and the prophecy are freaking me the heck out. 😯

In regards to Henry’s fate, I think it’s tied to Rumpel’s obsession with first-born children. Maybe Rumpel vows to offer up the first born child of the savior in order to secure the safety of Baelfire? 😥

Another thought I had re prophecy is that inorder to “win” the final battle, a main character will sacrifice themselves or will have to be killed (I so hate even thinking about this, but E&A have already shown they will take down anyone they like for big emotional impact!)- maybe it’s at his hand….
Or even better yet, maybe the whole point is more will this be ‘what WILL come to pass, or what MIGHT come to pass?’ & how will his actions affect the out come with the stakes so high 😉

I just want our guys to have happy endings- it’s not a big ask is it?! – I know it’s a long shot they will all live till season’s end- but if they all die, that’ll just suck!)
