I have a theory on who the stranger might be. You said his licance plate read Kansas, he had an old fasioned bulky typewritter and he is very mysterious; perhaps he is The Wizard of Oz. The Wizard was a stranger who wound up staying in Oz, this stranger has wound up staying in Storybrooke.
Like Jenny says we do see flying monkeys in the book.I have a theory about who the stranger may be. You says his licance plate read Kansas, he carries around an old fashioned typewriter (macinary) and he is very mysterious; perhaps he is The Wizard of Oz. After all the wizard was a stranger in Oz, this stranger is in StoryBrooke. Like Jenny says, we do see flying monkeys in the book.
I don’t understand how people cannot like the end of LOST. It was like a happy ending and yet validated their time on the island as saying it was real and the most important time of their lives. The end of LOST didn’t seem like a trick or a twist to me at all so if this ends like LOST ends it will validate what they have gone through saying all was real and the people will have a happy ending. Sounds good to me.
It is always difficult because an end is an end for a show and you always want more, but if this show ends the way LOST ended i will be more then happy. This show isn’t as good as LOST with the major writing problems, but i still really like it.
I have two theories that are – I admit – way out in left field. But here goes…
Remember when Mr. Gold gave those walkie-talkies to Emma? Well, it’s likely Mr. Gold has a third walkie-talkie listening on the same frequency(s) as the set he gave Emma. This never happened on camera, but perhaps there was a time when Emma and Henry were talking about the location of the book, and that’s how Mr. Gold knew the location where the book was buried. After which Mr. Gold hired The Stranger to dig up the book.
I’m not confident in that theory because we’ve seen Mr. Gold do his own digging (on a couple of occasions) so why he’d want to hire an outsider is beyond me. Also, why Mr. Gold would care about the book at all is beyond me. (However, I strongly believe Mr. Gold is listening in their converstations.)
Another left-field theory is The Stranger is the author of the book, and maybe The Stranger has a mystical link with it. When Henry tore out the last couple of pages from the book, the Stranger could sense the book had been damaged, so he sought it out. Furthermore this “sense” allowed him to find the buried box at the playground. This is all plausable but would be an odd direction for the show to go.
Something I noticed and have not heard anyone on the podcast mention: The very end of Friut of the Poisonous Tree, (or maybe it was 7:15AM, I forget), when you see The Stranger break the padlock of the box containing the book. There is a very brief moment when the camera is gliding by what looked to me like a set of thieves tools. Either The Stranger broke into Regina’s house (hence the need for a set of thieves tools,) or he just had them rolled out on his bed because that’s where he kept his padlock-busting sheers. 😀
I also thought that Gold must be listening in on Emma and Henry’s conversations over the walkies. We will see i guess.

Interesting.

This is a very fascinating theory. I hope the writers somehow in cooperate this into the show. Besides which, we have already seen magic work in Storybrooke (ie. Hansel and Gretel’s compass suddenly working when their father showed up).
I think that the Stranger is the Cheshire Cat. He sort of talks in riddles and in a roundabout way, never giving Emma or Henry a straightforward answer. Also, someone mentioned that he wears a lot of pink and purple in his scenes. I correlated this to my theory and Disney’s version of the Cheshire Cat is pink and purple!
I’m really interested in this whole Wonderland thing and I’m looking forward to where the writers are going with this. There’s a thread on it hereThis was talked about on a different OUAT forum and 😮 as soon as I read this, “it gave me pause” 😮 Seriously.
St. Augustine is the patron saint of printers and he wrote a lot of different things.
Attributes – child; dove; pen; shell, pierced heart, holding book with a small church, bishop’s staff, miter.
Here’s a quote by St. Augustine – “The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” The Stranger seems to be a traveler.
There’s also a nice pic of St. Augustine in that thread.
