True, but few can deny that he’s as unaffected as Rumple intended. It defiantly did screw with his life in some big ways even if he wasn’t stuck in time.
Excellent point. While technically Nealfire might not have been one of the most affected by the Curse, for me, his back story is one of the saddest right now because both his parents chose something else over him. He may have been sent to this world right away as a 14 year old boy who has no knowledge at all of the modern world, if the Blue Fairy wasn’t lying about him going to a world without magic, and may have had no choice, in his young mind, but to join up with a rough crowd so that he could survive in whatever situation he may have been in whether that was in the system or living on the streets. Then when he finally gets happiness again in his life and is trying to just leave a regular person’s life by settling down, getting a job and an apartment, he chooses what he feels is the right option by letting that all go which leads to him being alone, separated from his true love and child for over 10 years. (Not to say that he made the right choice and that Emma shouldn’t be mad that he’s the one that got to decide her fate and not her.)
I have this theory that there’s some sort of small network network outside of SB of people who weren’t cursed helping out. I mean it would be August, Bae (Neal), and maybe some others (Dorthy and/or Alice, perhaps?) working with those inside SB who knew like Jefferson and the Blue Fairy. I mean, am I the only one who remembers the stills from hat trick with August and Jefferson–the same ones the producers are trying to pretend never existed?
I’m not quite sure what this network would be doing now that the curse is broken, but that’s kind of where my mind is headed with this.
Speaking of Neal’s decision, I forgot to comment on this before, but I do like this idea as long as they didn’t come off as either too all knowing and helping or conversely too unhelpful and detached. From what Jane Espenson said about Neal’s decision, it does sound like Emma had to go to Storybrooke on her own and break the Curse. Personally I think that since it was fate that if she would have ended up married with Neal living in Tallahassee with Henry and maybe other kids that she would have made it to Storybrooke when she had to, but if the writers are saying that it wouldn’t have worked out that way, then I guess I can’t disagree with them. Anyhow, this could also fit with why these outsiders couldn’t come forward and help Emma in her quest, so they don’t come across as too detached or too unhelpful.
I really, really hope that Neal has a great explanation of where he's been since he didn't get to Storybrooke, and he's sitting in a bar instead. Maybe Neal sent Barrett to go for him if Neal discovered that he can't get through the barrier of Storybrooke.
[adrotate group="5"]Sorry double post, but this picture made me smile too. Just imagine Emma skipping because Neal's back in her life. 😆 Okay, maybe that's a little bit too soon for that to happen, but she's wearing a skirt. The only other time she's dressed up like that was in the pilot and at the Sheriff's debate, but the audience didn't really get to see her dressed up in that episode. It looks like we're going to see it now, and it's for Nealfire. Awwwww!!!! 😀
Someone else pointed it out on tumblr that Emma also wore a skirt in episode 21 when she went to Regina’s.

The best ideas of that that i have heard is that they either worked together to write the book or that they are somehow trying to prepare for the ‘final battle’ whatever that is rather then breaking the curse (cause that’s emma’s job).

I was under the impression that we’ve already had the final battle. It was the inner battle of Emma having to believe and then the physical battle with Maleficent. The curse is officially broken. What we are seeing now are the after effects from Cora’s barrier curse.
I do like the idea of seeing Dorothy and Alice coming together, somewhere in the outside world though. However, I still think it was Jefferson who wrote the book based on his knowledge of all the other worlds. He had years before Henry was born to finish writing it.

But is it really broken? I guess I’m confused about the barrier. Is the magic that Rumpel released what will make people lose their memories if they cross the border? Or would it have always been like that? And if it would always be like that… that’s a crappy breaking of a curse… if they’re still stuck.

I don’t think it’s broken all the way. I think the only way that it will be broken is if they all can return to FTL if they choose to or something along those lines.
I also didn’t think the final battle took place yet. I’m not positive, but from the quotes from K&H, I thought that it was something way into the future.

Oh well, but it is striped very much evoking the black and white striped dress she was wearing the night that she and Neal were suppose to start their new life. 😥

That’s what I thought too but according to K&H, the curse is broken. What is holding them back is something else. Whether it’s Cora’s barrier curse or the price of magic that is yet to be seen. But the dark curse is over and done with.

The Neal / Emma reunion is going to be even more entertaining because it looks like she's takeing Henry with her.
