What Happened to Kathryn?

It makes sense hjbau and I really like the idea of the Mad Hatter coming to SB and then going back to FTL.

@rumplegoldfrankkristi: I can also see them laughing their heads off. If anything I think they might listen to the podcast once in a while (The actor for Sleepy knows of it. 😉 ), but to go through all the trouble to read these twisted and long posts … xD Doubt that, but it would be cool.

@ hjbau, I think you’re on to something with your theory.

I don’t think that the episode is going to be about the story of Alice in Wonderland as we know it, but about how the hatter became mad so i just thought maybe he became mad because he visited our world. I could see that.

I don’t think Wonderland is an alternate reality to FTL or SB. Nevertheless, I do think the Mad-Hatter went crazy, because he had the power to travel between the two worlds. To FTL characters, Storybrooke is an alternate reality and vice-verse. The Mad-Hatter (a.k.a. “Jefferson” in SB) will appear crazy in SB because he believes in fairy-tales as truth. In FTL, he may appear crazy because he somehow had the ability to visit SB before the curse was even unleashed.

I think that hjbau is absolutely right.

And i have this whole theory that the episodes that are about secondary non main characters are really about Emma….And if they do that with the Hatter episode then it could be about how he visited the real world and then everyone in the fairytale land thought he was mad and i think that could help Emma think about the insanity of believing Henry and they could further that plot. Especially if they intend to have Emma believe by the end of the season.

The reason I think so is based on this episode summary:

Jefferson/Mad-Hatter will play a role in trying to convince Emma that the fairy-tales she's heard of are in fact true. The synoposis for episode 17: “Jefferson, a young rakishly handsome, former criminal who in Fairy Tale Land has given up his life of crime and dedicated himself to his daughter, while in Storybrooke he is a dangerous and mysterious figure who has knowledge of the Evil Queen’s curse and attempts to persuade Emma that it is real.”

Wow, loving the thoughts here. Rumplrgoldfan, I LOVE your idea of not knowing who the character is and having no purpose yet not being able to leave.

I think Kathryn didn’t notice Fredrick in StoryBrooke because she was so angry and on the hurt and distructive path in the school. What we are seeing is that Ragina no longer has control over the town like she did in the beginning causing her to become nervous and angry. Remember what she told Sidney, “Do you know what I do to things that have no use, I throw them away.”. Kathryn serves her no use anymore.

Yes, I agree that Rumplrgoldfan has some very good insight.

What I thought was interesting… was how bothered Regina was by the fact that Kathryn was clearly beginning to think for herself and was separating from the ‘character’ that had been created for her in Storybrooke.

I recall Kathryn said to Regina, “What they have is real; it’s true. My marriage to David it just was like an illusion. I don’t know how it happened, but it was never real.” Kathryn was beginning to realize that the memories she were false–an illusion. She is starting to break away from the curse. To me this parallels what Prince James said to the siren, “I don’t want an illusion. I want reality or nothing.” In OUAT, one theme that keeps appearing is this idea that reality is better than illusion.
