I think am about 40/60 with this theory. I mean sure it is completely possible, but i also don’t really see the purpose. To me there doesn’t really seem to be any evidence that this is the case, the color and collar raises aside, and i can think of a lot of reasons not to do it. Like it is time for them to get back like last episode, so holding it past ten seems ridiculous.

Yes, I guess it’s just one of those theories that neither side will yield to until we know for sure. It also seems to be one of those theories that people either really love or really hate.
Hated it the first time I saw it suggested, but then decided they could do some interesting stuff with it, so now am thinking it’s a definite possibility.
Crazy idea, but maybe Pongo alerts Henry to the imposters? LOL. Maybe he barks like crazy around fake!Snow and fake!Emma, and that’s how they figure out. Just a thought. Not to be taken seriously, guys.
Great idea. That’s usually part of the impostor trope too in that the person’s pet or a friend of the person’s pet, usually a dog, always reacts negatively to the impostor because the pets know it’s not really the true person and the pet always gets blamed for his/her behavior.
Good point about the animals often being the first to sense that something is wrong. I kinda love that they’re gonna give Pongo another cameo appearance.
I know a lot of people have questioned why Ruby wouldn’t know then, and really I don’t have an answer to that especially if Pongo can sense it. Although I’m sure the writers can think of a way to work around it like maybe Ruby’s still rattled by whatever happens in episode 7 and being accused of murder that she’s not really paying attention to the outside world that much since she’s worried that she might have done it and/or being found guilty.
She could potentially take measures to try and suppress that part of herself after whatever happens in ep 7. I’m thinking of something more drastic than just wearing her cape. If magic doesn’t work the same in SB, her cape may not work, if they even have it there. So she may try some other method to rid her of her wolfness.
Can we take a moment to appreciate Snow’s upturned collar.
Nice find. I still think it’s Cora as Snow in disguise with her collar because it’s just a totally different vibe that Ginnifer Goodwin is giving off then her Snow vibe, the same with Jennifer Morrison as Emma in those pictures.
Yes, Ginny’s stance seems more…proper, I guess is the word. I know it’s just one still picture, so it may not really be proper evidence of how she’s carrying herself in the scene, but that’s all we have to judge right now. It’s also the fact that it’s BOTH of them that seem to resemble their potential alter egos. If just one of them looked slightly different, I’d think nothing of it, but it’s both of them, so I’m suspicious.
Also, they’ve gone to the trouble of showing us that Cora can shapeshift. Sure, it served the storyline of her impersonating Lancelot, but they could have written her into that storyline in other ways. They could have just had her popping in and out and secretly spying and following Snow and Emma to the castle. But they chose the shapeshifting route, and I can’t help but wonder if they did that to establish that power of hers as foreshadowing to shapeshifting in SB too.
I think that’s why we’re getting a Hook-centric and Cora-centric episode right before the mid-season break with them heading towards Storybrooke before Emma and Snow or possibly at the same time as Emma and Snow, depending on what exactly Grumpy finds in Storybrooke that could help the latter come back. I think they want to set up how villainous Hook and Cora really right before they come to Storybrooke that way there’s more tension because we really haven’t seen any of their evil deeds especially Hook’s. Plus, I love everyone worrying over winter about whether or not Hook and Cora will arrive in Storybrooke before Emma and Snow, and just when everyone feels relief because it looks like Emma and Snow beat Hook and Cora to Storybrooke, they do the part of the impostor trope by revealing it’s not really Emma and Snow but Hook and Cora as them because they turn back to their true selves, which is why Colin O’Donoghue and Barbara Hershey were on set at the same time, well that and to fool onlookers who might leak out information.
Agreed, I think that given the timing of the centric eps, and the way they’ll build the tension, the impostor storyline could fit quite nicely as the climax to that. Ep10 will almost definitely be after the mid season break, won’t it? They wouldn’t be able to have the shock reveal in ep10 as a cliffhanger right before the break?

Yes, I really wanted the Charmings to be reunited, but the more I thought about it, it just seemed too early to do so in episode 10. I think it might leave too much time for them to prepare for the incoming villains. Plus, there’s all the other spoilers that are suppose to happen between now and episode 10 that they’re going to have to be really crammed full of stuff. Hopefully after I get the full synopses for episode 8 and 9 which should be coming out fairly soon, I’ll get a better idea if the things in the spoilers are happening in those episodes, or if the impostor theory is true, and the things in the spoilers take place later on this season.

Didn’t think about her cape or something more drastic then that, but that’s a good call. Her wolf senses probably can’t work without the cape, and until she knows for sure she didn’t kill anyone in Storybrooke which probably won’t happen by episode 10, she’ll definitely be extra cautious.

Yes, and it wasn’t just in one set of pictures where they looked like they were carrying themselves differently, but in the first set of pictures too.

Yes, episode 9 is suppose to be the last episode before the break.
I don’t think Snow’s injured, just clingy. She’s been away from her husband for awhile at this point.

Was so excited to see these images! And then I read a theory where it’s not the real Snow or Emma – but Hook and Cora. The claim seems to be along the lines of Emma walking with a certain ‘swagger’ that more befits Hook and both their facial expressions being a bit off. Not sure, could just be the photographed moments are awkward in some but thought I’d put it out there.
This one seems the more likely Cora and Hook one. Emma being Hook and Snow being Cora.
If they are impostors well I have this crackpot theory of Mulan working with Cora if that actually plays out it could actually be Mulan and Cora 😯

Interesting theory about Mulan. However, I don’t think they would go that route for the reasons that Phee gave in the other thread about this subject because Mulan is one of Disney’s princesses. So I don’t think they would allow the show to portray her in a negative light like that because of how valuable that franchise is to Disney.
I do agree that she’s a little bit strange acting, but unfortunately I think that’s because the writers really haven’t given the character that much to do and the actress doesn’t give the best line readings. So I think the combination makes her seem inconsistent which might make her seem suspicious to some people, because this isn’t the first time that I’ve seen this theory pop up. I don’t think we’re meant to think that she’s suspicious at all because we’ve already had Lancelot turn out to be a fake, and because I think that Hook along with Cora and King George are meant to be the big villains this year. I don’t think they would have Mulan actually be the one working for Cora and not Hook even though it would be quite the twist just because I don’t think Disney would allow the writers to do that to Mulan.
Further, at least Aurora as spoiled and useless to some viewers as she may be, is a stock kind of character that viewers can relate to, and for me Sarah Bolger has a better grip on her character than Jamie Chung, right now. With Mulan, I was beginning to warm up to her in “Lady of the Lake” because I think she was given more depth there and was hoping that the progress would continue, but then this past episode, she’s just sort of there again with the stilted line readings. Of course, Aurora was just sort of there too in “The Doctor”, but she did add some comic relief.
I do worry about Mulan’s fate in “Tallahassee” though because she’s not listed for “Child of the Moon” but Aurora is. I really don’t think the show would kill off another POC so soon, but something definitely seems up there.
I did read on tumblr that someone was at a convention with Tony Amendola, Geppeto, and he said that Mulan was supposed to be a villian. I do wonder now if that little slip is true or not. That would be a twist for sure.

Here’s a recent article about the filming for the reunion scene. It mentions the filming was for episode 9, not episode 10, which makes sense, because there are supposed to be 9 episodes before they break for Christmas. http://www.vancouversun.com/Once+Upon+Time+stars+caught+magic/7472139/story.html
