Theory about Tamara, her "taser" and August

[onceuponadiva]

I’m sure I’m not the first person to think of this theory (especially the first part).. but I had this thought and felt the need to vocal vomit it out. I’m not good with writing out theories.. so here goes.

I think that she may be a disgraced fairy, perhaps one who abused magic, therefore got sent to a “land without magic” so that she couldn’t cause harm anymore. I think she’s magic hungry and has been desperate to find it. I also think that somehow, even if it hasn’t been “enacted” yet, her taser actually STEALS magic– think Ghostbusters.

Give this, I think she may take Rumple’s magic (or try). If this is the case and she does this, causing him “undoing” then August could be the little boy the seer mentioned as being his “undoing”.

Now if I could just figure out the Owen/Greg situation enough to come up with a theory for that, I’d sleep happier for the next 3 weeks lol.

I still think Tamara is actually someone from this world. She seeks magic because she’s either power hungry or is looking for a magical cure to some hidden motive. She doesn’t have to be any secret FTL character with a complicated backstory, and I’m personally finding that twist to be overused. Someone who is legitimately from our world with an obsession with magic sounds much more fascinating, in my opinion. She adds something new.

I agree with this. I’m actually really hoping that she doesn’t turn out to be someone from FTL. The fact that we already know her to be a manipulative magic-hungry girl is intriguing enough (for now, anyway). I personally think she is manipulating both Greg and Neal to get what she wants– magic. The question is, why, and to what extent, is she using Greg (if she is using him at all, that is). I like the idea of the taser being able to take magic, but I still agree that she may just be a magic-obsessed girl who will do anything to obtain it.

I thought it was confirmed by the writers that Henry is the boy the seer prophesised about?

Tamara has to have some form of relationship with magic, enough to believe that it is real and exists in a world that considers it to be fiction. Why else would she travel round the world trying to find it?

I think her grandmother is significant somehow because of the picture of Tamara with her grandmother. With all the teases we’ve had about Oz this season, I wonder if Tamara’s grandmother may have some connection to Oz. Perhaps as Dorothy or maybe even one of the wicked witches who could have been banished?

All magic comes with a price!

I’m not committed to her being from FTL, I just took note of how she said “not in this land”. I know that as someone from here, I wouldn’t say that specifically… maybe I’d use the word “world”– but then again, I may be picking.

I also agree that the grandmother is important. I’ve seen the people who are convinced she’s Cindy’s fairy godmother.. I don’t know who she is, but I think that if Tamara IS of this world, the reason she’s so convinced is because she was so close to someone who wasn’t.

Well, there actually are people in are world who believe in magic, but that’s a discussion in itself. There are people who take fascination with the idea of the unusual all of the time, especially in TV/Film. I don’t think that means she HAS to be someone from the EF or anything. Tamara could have ties to a secret government agency or some sort of paranormal investigation. That would certainly explain why she would have the technology available to study the vial. Maybe we will get some more insight once we get some backstory behind how Tamara and Greg know each other. They might have met as kids or in school, and Greg likely told her about Storybrooke.

I’ve been thinking there’s an Oz connection too. My first thought was Grandma, but now my thought is that Tamara’s mom was Dorothy (New York, seventies, The Wiz), but something happened to her later because of magic and Grandma had to raise Tamara. Both of them losing her would explain the closeness between Tamara and her grandma to me. I was thinking the significance of the picture might be that there is no mother in it with them. Depending on what happened to Dorothy Tamara could have a real axe to grind.
