Thought this might be a good place to put an “aha moment” you might get while writing in the forums before an episode actually airs. (Doesn’t matter if it ends up being wrong, it’s just a theory you believe or hope is true.)
Beauty & the Beast calls that
- the curse will be broken in the season finale. We will assume this is true for now CONFIRMED Ep 1×22
the curse-breakers will be punished in some way for use of magic.celesstarr calls that Regina will find a way of getting Emma out of SB (ie. throwing her into another dimension or “forcing” her to leave in some way), thus the title for Ep 22. refuted 1×22
charming calls that
- Wonderland is a prison world.
The Wizard of Oz is a strategy that needs to be employed — right now there are three: Emma, Henry, and August. Maybe Dr. Hopper is the fourth. = Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man and the Lion.
This fight between Regina and Rumple is one that had going on for years. (Cora v. Zoso, Cora v. Rumple, Rumple v. Regina, Regina v. Rumple v. Emma, Emma v. Rumple) similar to LOST (think Jacob vs. man in black concept; white v. black — chess game, backgammon)
Emma will win.
The bow and arrow Snow used to try to kill Regina is the same bow and arrow Charming used to kill the Queen’s guard when saving Snow in Snow Falls ep.3.
Abigail is also Sleeping Beauty
The Storybook was meant to serve as a guide for Emma to break the curse and free everyone.Clockwatcher calls

Each door in the Mad Hatter’s hat will lead to an alternate dimension. (another world, anyway) CONFIRMED Ep 1×17
that the scene in the end of the season promo where Emma is surrounded by people from the town, Regina is tied to a tree, and Emma holds out Charming’s sword saying”you took away our happiness, we’re going to take away yours”, is just Regina’s nightmare, because she’s starting to get really nervous! CONFIRMED Ep 1×21

Rumple’s love potion is the antidote for the curse. This is hard to call from Ep 1×22 it seems it is replacing the curse broken by Emma’s kiss. Does that count as an antidote?

Everyone will stop expecting magic to solve their problems and instead turn to each other for help…in other words, a SB-wide rejection of magic.

I’ve read all the theories and know what H & K said about copyright, but did a little research and think that might not be the whole truth especially since Disney made an animated version and OUaT is Disney associated. So until we know for sure…
March 24, 2012 at 5:12 pm #139674killianhookfanParticipantsjm you must have read the same thing I did about the Peter Pan copyright. What I read said that in the US it really hasn’t been an issue and that Disney has used Peter Pan a number of times without any problem.
