Peter Pan's age

I think it is going to end with Emma waking up and it all being a dream and Neal is asleep next to her. A little ala Newhart.

I think the BF is the true puppet master. What if PP is her child?

Kpercyman say WHAT?

This is what insomnia and summer vacation does to me. I am starting to act like one of my students.

I said this awhile back but I think A and E learned a lot from LOST and one of the biggest lessons they got was that you need to give more answers over the course of the series. You can’t wait until the series ends because you’ll have missed some questions that were major. And so I think it’s possible that we will wrap up “the Curse” arc of OUAT at the end of S3. What I mean by this is that everything to do with the Curse–Nealfire, the Puppet Master, The BF, Henry’s adoption, the Book–will be resolved and we will move into a new overarching “arc” for the next season and seasons. All the characters will be the same but instead of dealing with the ramifications of the Curse it will (thinking outloud) be something like “saving the worlds” arc where our heroes are transported to different worlds–Oz comes to mind–and evnetually FTL where they have to save the worlds that have been affected by the first arc of OUAT, which was S1-3 and all about the Curse.

I like it RG!

And they can meet Percy Jackson and all his sexiness (too young in the books but the actor is of legal age) on the way to Mt. Olympus. I know that would never happen but one could dream that they send Henry to Hogwarts.

In all seriousness I do think they will wrap things up a bit. They did learn a lot from Lost and some lose ends seem to be wrapping up quicker than I remember from the other series.

Also, viewers don’t have a neverending supply of patience. If they tease some of the major plot points out for way too long, people will just become disenchanted and fed up with waiting for answers that it seems are never gonna come.

I could see them going that route. Definitely agree that some major, Curse-related plot points will be resolved this season, so they can stop dwelling on the Curse event and instead move forward and show us what’s next for them all. Where and how are they gonna live?

Personally, I reckon that ultimately, everyone will end up back in FTL. If this season is gonna be about them all rediscovering their core beings, which is what all the CC interviews suggested, I just don’t see how they could really integrate themselves into our world. They just wouldn’t fit. Emma and Neal are the only two who really don’t want to live in FTL, but judging by what we’ve seen so far, it’s not like either of them has any real, personal attachment to anyone in our world outside SB, so what reason would they have to stay if everyone they know, including their son, wants to go back to FTL? Re-settling in FTL, re-building it, re-establishing the social structure there and the conflicts that would go along with all of that could be the focus of an entire, future season.

As for other worlds, they will almost certainly have to have a season dealing with Oz. One of my pet crack theories is that The Wizard and Dorothy have some connection to THO. If so, they could have conflict with THO as the climax to S3, and they could tie it in to S4. Maybe The Wizard flees back to Oz and they go after him? Even if not, I’m sure they must have an Oz-centric storyline of some type in mind, and it’d be a new adventure for everyone to embark on, not necessarily directly tied to the Curse.

As far as PP being the Puppet Master goes, IMO it does seem that he’s the big boss of all this Curse related stuff. K&H explicitly stated in a CC interview that GOAT are working for PP. I think there’s gotta be some overall scheme manipulated by PP that brought us to the Curse and then to present day events. Even if they resolve that though, there’s still the question of how PP ended up like he is in NL to begin with and is there yet another Big Bad out there somewhere. If they don’t wanna answer that this season, that can be part of the continuing story, but not necessarily be tied to the Curse. I reckon all the Curse stuff was just PP trying to get through the situation he ended up in. Whatever happened before that could be a separate, non-Curse related story they delve into in the future.
