Did anyone else notice or catch THE MISTAKE AND PROBLEM made in “The Cricket Game” in the final scene between Queen Regina and Rumplestiltskin about the Dark Curse? Please bear with me; I believe my point to be valid. (…)
No mistakes made, but it seems to confuse some people
The timeline (with a few more events to give orientation, but not all events shown in flashback so far):
- Someone creates the Dark Curse. Good guess is Rumple, but we can’t be sure of that. (not shown yet)
At some unknown point Rumple gave Regina the Dark Curse for whatever deal. When exactly and how and why then hasn’t been told in the show so far. Out of whatever reason though Regina didn’t make use of it at that point. (not shown so far, but in 1×02 we learn she had that curse and traded it)
Regina has the idea to go after Snow by using the Sleeping Curse. She trades the Dark Curse for the Sleeping Curse with Maleficent,(based on what we learn in 1×02), probably because she finds it at that time useless for her goal. Can only speculate why Maleficent traded it for her Sleeping Curse. Maybe she considered it to take revenge on Aurora’s mother / family? But for sure Maleficent didn’t use the curse.(Another interesting story not told so far)
Regina sends Hansel and Gretel to get a magic apple from the Blind Witch (not to confuse with the other that later was at the meeting when Regina first tried to enact the Dark Curse) (1×09). She combines it with the Sleeping Curse (or she alread did that, then traded the cursed apple and needs it back, but think the first idea works better). (that is a guess, based on what Rumple tells in 2×08 about Regina inventing a new method to deliver the Sleeping Curse) (this could have happened before the trade or after, but around that time)
King Georg captures Charming, Regina trades him for some riches, and then pressures Snow into taking a bite of the cursed apple. Snow under Sleeping Curse (1×21)
Charming escapes Regina with the help of the huntsman, but Regina manages to sent him into the Infinite Forest. Rumple shows up, offers Charming help to get out of the forest and find Snow. As deal he makes him hid the love potion with Maleficent. Charming does that, then finds Snow and the magic kiss happens. (ep 1×22)
Snow and Charming go after King Georg and Regina. They defeat King Georgs army and capture Regina, the Evil Queen. (this episode)
Rumple makes a deal with Snow, and creates a protection spell, making it impossible for Regina to harm Snow or Charming in “this land” (aka Enchanted Forest, Fairy Tale Land). They ban Regina. (this episode)
Shortly after: Rumple visits Regina and points out to her, that she can’t harm Snow or Charming in this land, but doesn’t mean she can’t harm them in another land. That is when Regina remembers the Dark Curse – and let’s her father get the carriage, she has a wedding to get to. (in this episode)
Regina crashes the wedding at the castle and tells everybody there, she’s going to destroy their happiness (pilot)
Regina goes and gets the curse back from Maleficent (1×02)
Sometime between that and the enacting of the curse Hook sneaks into Regina’s palace to get information from Belle, who is kept there. Regina catches him and offers a deal, sending him to take the heart of her mother Cora. Hooks goes to Wonderland, and Cora makes a new deal with him. Hook brings back Cora to the Enchanted Forest, seemingly dead. (2×09)
Some months after the wedding Regina enacts the curse. To do it she has to kill her father. Emma is born and escapes the curse via the magic wardrobe (pilot, 1×02)
It is an interesting question, why she got or had the curse before and traded it with Maleficent. But it’s just that this story hasn’t been told so far on the show.
That was awesome 😀 Well written myril, I really enjoy reading this post…it really brings back some memories of earlier episodes in season 1 that I’ve forgotten.

I hated the bed part at the start of the episode. It was not needed and disappointed me a lot.
agreed, it also shows how much henry’s education is lacking…
Why isn’t MM at school, teaching anyway? Everyone is back to their ‘usual’ jobs and getting on with their lives, as suggested by Charming, kids go to school, yet MM seems not to bother with that?…

Mary Margaret and Emma are back from post-apocalyptic Entchanted Forest like for a day, maybe now two. I would expect no one to pick up their job after such an experience in no time. Besides, David / Charming isn’t working at the animal shelter either, is he? And then there are the dwarfs – doesn’t look like they are doing their usual jobs either, besides Sneezy that is.
Think that many people in Storybrooke expect Mary Margaret and David to do more than their usual jobs now. Someone has to be in charge, take lead.

Some names are too long to write out in full especially if used several times in a post.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixI agree with PriceofMagic. But if it’s a problem, perhaps it could be fixed by posting an ‘official’ list of abbreviations somewhere?
Some of them are fairly straightforward and some need further explanation – I didn’t know myself what OTP was until very recently…@EvilQueen wrote:

I realized I was using to many abbreviations when I went to the Secrets blog and posted a note that they had trouble understanding because of the abbreviations. I use standard abbreviations here but post full words on other blogs / forums.
