I do love that parallel of Belle in the tavern and Milha in the tavern. Nice catch!

A difference between Belle in the tavern and Milha in the tavern is that Belle was sat at a table by herself whilst Milha is surrounded by Hook and his men, Belle is a pretty girl and you would think that someone in the tavern would at least try their luck with her even if she told them where to go. What if Hook had arranged matters so that nobody would disturb Belle so that he could swoop in and turn on the charm with her?

I’m excited to see the addition of Neverland in the story arc. Characters in the Peter Pan story had the ability to travel between our world and Neverland, second star to the right and straight on til morning. It will be interesting to see if we eventually are introduced to Wendy, John and Michael perhaps in our own world. Neverland might also be a conduit for Emma and Snow to get back to Storybrook.

I just had a new thought after reading this, and it’s got me back on the Bae = Peter Pan train. Also, it ties into Bae being Jack…

This magical compass that Hook and Emma are gonna go looking for up the beanstalk, perhaps that belonged to Bae/Peter/Jack, and it’s how he could navigate back and forth between our world and Neverland…

At some point, he had the altercation with the Giant, where Bae/Peter/Jack stole from him, so perhaps the Giant stole his compass in return, or maybe Bae/Peter/Jack just dropped it when he was busy stealing a goose that lays a golden egg…

Bae/Peter/Jack managed to get back to our world one final time, where he stayed, safe from the angry Giant, who had no idea what he had in that compass, so never followed him, (or perhaps the Giant ends up dead). In our world, Bae/Peter/Jack knew he’d be safer, so he stayed, grew up, and met Emma…

Of course, this theory assumes that the beanstalk is probably in Neverland, not FTL, and we’ve been assuming that Hook and Emma are in FTL when they find the beanstalk, not Neverland, so there are some issues. I like the idea that this magical compass is how Peter Pan navigated between worlds though, I mean, why else would Hook and Emma be after it if it didn’t navigate between worlds. And if it was something Peter Pan used, and if Bae was Peter Pan and Jack, then that could explain how Hook becomes involved with the story with the beanstalk.

Reading all these theories just gave me one of my own: what if Rumple ran away from the ogres war to save his wife from running off with Hook? 😮

That…actually makes a lot of a sense. It would be tragic though. It would be sad to see that Rumpel earned his reputation as a coward by actually doing something brave and noble. 😥

[marilou]

it’s not brave and noble if his wife did not want to be saved. It’s just naive and cute at best if it’s what happens.

^It depends on the situation. If he honestly thought she had been kidnapped, then it would have been brave. And judging by the synopsis, that’s what it sounds like.

Yeah, I agree. And especially with the promo depicting Hook as someone “worse than Rumpel,” I wouldn’t be surprised if Rumpel honestly thought she was kidnapped.

I know!!! 😥 Why did you come up with this theory, Dorothy, when I already have too many sad feelings about that spoiler picture of Rumple and Bae that is out there?!? 😥

Seriously, though, it makes a lot of sense that they would make Rumple’s story even more tragic by adding that detail to it. I really does hope it comes true now. (Hopefully, I’ll be able to type through the tears that I’m sure to have next Sunday to congratulate you on being right.)
