Pax Henrici et Pax Bellae?

[timespacer]

So many questions after seeing tonight’s great season premier! Here’s one: When Regina said “I love you” to Henry and he replied, “Prove it”, and demanded she find a way to rescue Snow and Emma and, until then. leave him and everyone else alone, I wondered if that will force her to avoid hurting anyone in Storybrooke (or at least appear to so long as she thinks Henry might find out what she is doing). And will Belle’s response “That’s why you need me” to Rumple’s “I’m still a monster” have the same effect in curbing Rumple’s actions? If so, both of our villains are somewhat hobbled, at least for the time being, with a difficult truce forced upon them by the people they love. Sounds to me like the perfect setup to introduce an entirely new threat that will force an uneasy alliance of Rumple, Regina, and Charming. Perhaps something related to the wraiths and/or Dr. Whale will be the big new threat? What does everyone else think?

I don’t think Dr. Whale will be the new threat, however I completely agree that they need one. With Rumple and Regina becoming more and more vulnerable, they need another bad guy to scare everyone again. Perhaps the mysterious man we saw in the beginning? Then again, he didn’t strike me as a very threatening person.

I think that the note that was sent to the guy in the city was Bae and there’s someone on the inside that knows what’s going on. I’m thinking that It’s August that sent it.

I think this is where Hook steps in-to throw the current villains off balance from being redeemed just a little bit longer 😮

Oh yeah, I’d forgotten about Hook. How could I possibly forget something like that? Still, I’m not entirely sure how they’re going to portray him or whether or not he’s going to be a serious villain. In all the versions I’ve seen, Hook has been more comic relief than true evil. Maybe Once will change that perception?

They could totally change that perception-and they probably will 😮

This might be slightly off the beaten path – in seach of more bread crumbs… 😉
Although that is still kind of a hurtful thing to say to a step-mom/foster-mom, I kind of understand where Henry is comming from. Yes, she is after-all the “evil queen” but I doubt I’d get away with saying something like that to my non-biological mother… 😀

I think he's actually a 'good' (as in doesn't do evil- kind of I suppose, like the Huntsmen- the people considered him heartless because of his profession) bad guy from what was said about him in an interview I read, he's a pirate but not necessarily an evil/bad pirate if that makes sense??? Im having visions of Jack Sparrow now lol 😉 😆 – I just cant remember which interview it was that they said it in- there’s been so many lately!

I also think it was Bae in the city, but I’m beginning to suspect that Jefferson sent the note. Did anyone else notice that on the wall of the city apartment there was a sign that said “Hatter”? Sounds like a clue to me!

I think it was BLUE FAIRY who sent the note and kept BAE updated as to what was happening in Storybrook and with his father.

She sent him to A PLACE WITHOUT MAGIC. I think she discovered a way to communicate with BAE ( internet/computer)

I think FTL characters have affinity for each other and are able to track each other down in the real world / StoryBrooke and every where else. That is why August could find StoryBrooke.

I also think August and Bae had known each other in the real world prior to StoryBrooke activated. That was how August knew the story of Rumple/ the blade and the Dark One. Maybe Bae and August were the LOST BOYS, part of the group of boys that ran away from the foster home. They came together over time as run-aways and disenfranchised kids tend to do.

Nonnie,
