Regina and the fail safe

[spitweet]

I’m pretty sure Regina is talking to Emma when she says ”I can’t contain this much longer” in the US promo. It would be SO poignant for Emma to use her power to save the town (she’s the saviour after all).

I also wonder what makes Regina decide to go and delay the destruction…I think this will be her chance at being a hero for once ! I would like to see some sort of ”sweet goodbye” between her and Snow !!!

I think Emma’s magic will come into play as well. I wonder if she has the power to send everyone (except the core cast because I think they are going to NL) back to the EF, even though she can’t save SB.

Yea, that is what I am thinking is going to happen 🙂

Add me to the club who thinks (hopes) that Emma’s extreme magic will deactivate the failsafe. Considering GOAT know what it is, I’m guessing the scene of them activating it will come early on in the ep. And if it’s Regina’s failsafe, she’ll know where to go to find it. But then later, they’re all, including Regina, hanging out at the docks and getting on the boat. So I’m still holding out hope that it gets deactivated by Emma and SB won’t go *POOF*.

Hm that makes sense–then to escape when SB doesn’t go boom, a desperate GOAT get on a boat out of town to another realm with Henry as their insurance policy? I'm still not sure they are going to NL though.

I’m so confuzzled right now I’m not sure what anybody’s doing or where they’re going much less how or why! (Part of that could be lack of sleep and extreme busy-ness going on as of late but there’s just so many things to tie up / likely to happen that I don’t know what to think anymore! I do agree though that there’s no guarantee as to the destination but I think the general concensus is only that particular place based on the titles and what they relate to (especially since they themselves are directions).

This failsafe certainly looks / sounds super powerful so it’s going to take a lot to stop it one way or the other (maybe a combination of good and dark magic? Kinda like one of the really big bads in Charmed where they had to work together to stop it for the sake of both sides?)

What if Emma and Regina had to team up on it somehow to get it to stop as neither side on its own is powerful enough?

Regina almost certainly has to have a hero moment after the latest reveals of evil on her part–her being tortured by Mendel isn’t enough to regain audience sympathy.

Yes, people are thinking about the titles–but I think that relates to the likely flashbacks we will see since we just found out Bae met Hook. I believe we will have to see the rest of those two interacting.

Something to consider there then–what if in the past Hook and Bae end up destroying NL in their quest to free the Lost Boys, which parallels the failsafe being activated by GOAT in the present? There’s still time line issues of course–but Wendy did say time passed differently in NL for her.
