Official Press Release

If Bae went to a different land first, he might have only stayed a little while there, for all we know is 6 months after something (the portal, the other land?) he was in London.

I don’t think Bae was afraid of Rumpel in the start, after he first went through. I don’t think Bae would want to leave where he went right away. I think he would have wanted his father to find him at first, but then either learning about Milah or the years passing by made him change his mind. Then he might have tried to leave so he could not be found.

I reckon the 6 months will be 6 months after he fell out of the portal in WhateverLondon. The 8 min preview has all the opening credits on it, so that must come right after the title card. I imagine the “previously on” will end with the scene of him falling down the beanhole. Then there’s a shot in the promo of him falling flat on his front and it’s outdoors somewhere, and from memory the ET clip had another half a second shot of him getting up too. I imagine him looking around all, “Where am I?!” and the camera will pan out until we see a sign saying “Kensington Gardens” (in keeping with the Pan theme). Then the title card. Then the ep starts with “6 months later” and we see that he’s been living rough on the streets and is starving.

Yes, this is how I see it happening too. But there is that nagging line about “this world wasn’t my first stop when I left home” Bae could have meant that he didn’t live here long enough to consider it “home” whereas he was in NL for about 250+ years.

What I’m hoping they do is that this really is FictionalLondon and it exists within a whole FictionalEngland where all the characters from great works of non-fairytale fiction live. So maybe Bae spent some time living with Oliver Twist on the streets. And maybe the Banks family and their nanny Mary Poppins live down the street from the Darlings. And out in the countryside, Elizabeth Bennett is falling for Mr Darcy. And so on and so forth.

I like the idea of a FictionalLondon and seeing hints of Mary Poppins. P&P….eh, that makes me nervous. Mary Poppins is at least a mythic figure like Peter Pan or Snow White. I guess if it’s there but we don’t see it, I have no problem. But if Emma suddenly runs into Lizzie Bennett I’m not sure how receptive I’ll be just because it’s not sci-fi/fantasy genre.

Wasn’t the guy that played the Huntsmen at one time was going to be Sherlock Homes instead of the Huntsmen? ❓

But Lizzie Bennett is still a character in a story. I’m sort of imagining this FictionalWorld as a relatively close copy of our own entire world, it’s just that the people who populate it are characters in well known stories, instead of just the regular people who populate our world. If there’s a whole separate world of characters from fairytales, and another whole separate world of characters from sci-fi stories, then why not also another whole separate world of characters from literary greats? Not saying that they’ll explore those stories on the show, just trying to establish a concept for a separate world that could resemble ours very closely, and still not make Bae a liar about not having come to our world first.

I know what you’re saying and I do like the idea of FictionalLondon, I just wonder if works like P and P is one too many toys to play with and it would have to fit the theme of that episode or arc. They can’t just bring in Lizzie or Darcy just because they can. I think that’s been one small problem in S2, the introduction of a character that maybe didn’t work or serve the overall story (Jack for instance did nothing for me and I’d be very happy to never hear about her again)

Oh I don’t expect that we’d ever actually see the characters from stories such as P&P on the show, incorporated into the Once storyline at all. Just saying, this could be the type of world that Bae landed in. I need an explanation for why he appears to be in turn of the century London when he said he didn’t come to our world first, and this FictionalLondon in FictionalEngland in FictionalEarth populated by FictionalCharacters concept makes me feel better about the whole mess.

Yes, Adam and Eddy confirmed that they couldn’t get the rights to Sherlock Holmes, so they made Graham the Huntsman from Snow White (which actually makes way more sense to me, given this is basically Snow’s story).
