Regina’s Apple / The Hat and Time & Space

[possum snoodle]

So, the apple came freshly bitten from that event-specific moment in Time (and Space). Hmm.

What do we think about that and does it give us more insight into to power of the “Jefferson Airplane – White Rabbit – Mad Hatter” hat, as well as, the nature of the Physics at work in the FTL Realm.

In Hat Trick, Jefferson hinted to Emma worlds exist side by side, some with magic, some without and some needing magic and in Apple Red As Blood, he tells Regina, “… guide the hat to a time AND a place…”

So, my Dearies, with these Oncie-verse revelations, we may now have near INFINITE probabilities of play – and that’s good and bad. It’s bad, the Writers have too many outs but good the creative ideas are less confined. It’s good we may see more realms but bad we may be hurled so blazingly fast through them we barely get a chance for a proper Tea-time with the denizens of these Realms. In other words, too many options can become eye candy distractions in lieu of content. – Oh, let’s hope not, though.

Given the writers don’t flip reality around and suddenly reveal to us the timelines are actually running in reverse to our earthly concept of time, It does appear FTL is chronologically “in the Past” but the When, Where & How Upon A Time are still fairly nebulous ideas. So, I do have these quick thoughts/questions:

1. Had the hat been fully powered, could have Regina and/or Jefferson simply walked up to FTL Regina and asked for the bitten apple? Interesting paradox there.
2. FTL action may be stuck in a loop and the outcome always results in The Curse being enacted and FTL being lost. That then, brings into question the ratio of how many times such a cycle may have repeated to the supposed 28 years of Storybrooke, e.g., 1:1, 2:1, 2000:1 – or vice versa.
3. Perhaps, FTL is imprisoned behind a mirror or in a gazing ball and only exists as a reflection of FTL’ former selves or essences. Regina implied the curse could be “shattered” if the Emma situation was not properly resolved.
4. Retrieving the apple could have been an illusion/con job by Jefferson. There is a moment, where it seems Jefferson is “reading” Regina. Not sure it plays into anything underhanded or not – or if it fits with some of the other body language between the two that hints at a possible deeper relationship. I suppose Regina would “know her apple” when she saw it but she may have been led to believe what she wanted to believe.

Just some thoughts.
