    I think Mulan and Phillip were (sexually/romantically)together during the 28 year gap. It seems clear that through they were not transported to Storybrooke, they were still effected by the curse. Obviously, the not aging part. But what if they didn’t have their memories either – would explain why Phillip hasn’t managed to save Aurora in 28 years, he didn’t remember her.
    Because of that, the Mulan/Phillip/Aurora triangle is a parallel to David/MaryMargarent/Katherine – which also got a lot of hate and was really annoying. As fans that grew up with these stories and already know that A+B = true love, I think that explains the whiplash to some extent. Like Abigail when Snow called her ‘the nag with the bad attitude’, fans were quick to accept that because it was getting in the way of what we knew needed to happen.
    I don’t hate Mulan, I think she will grow on me when we see a more dimensional character. I’m not even sure if it’s the acting right now, or that Mulan is trying to come off as strong/emotionless to mask her discomfort in the situation.

    I hadn’t looked at it from that point of view and I actually understand it. I guess I’ll just have to give it a view episodes and see it develop a bit more. Our minds are so pre-programmed on what the stories are supposed to be that it is quite fun to see how the creators make up there own storylines.

    I like the idea of being able to chat with other Oncers, however the one on noodle.mx appears to be using a twitter platform and therefore I can’t use it. Will it be the same for the one you are planning on adding to the forum page? I know this is only an issue if you live in a country where twitter, FB and the likes are blocked and most of your listeners probably are not. So in that case you can just ignore my comment 😀

    1. The character you first fell in love with…
    August. I love the mystery he had around him for so long.

    2. The character you never expected to love as much as you do now…

    Rumplestilskin. I guess it’s easy to say that too, because he’s supposed to be a bad guy you are not supposed to like, but than all this back story makes you care for him. And his character is just plain fun to watch.

    3. The character everyone else loves that you don’t…
    Emma. I identify with the whole skepticism she has and I really hate it. When proof is all around and she is still stubbornly denying the obvious it just rubs me the wrong way.

    4. The character you love, but everyone else hates…
    Don’t hate me for this, but I love Regina. Just the pure evil person she is in both worlds is very attractive to watch. It is so easy to hate her that it actually makes me love her (if that makes sense at all). The actress is doing an amazing job with the character.

    5. The character you used to love, but don’t any longer…
    David. I think it was Jenny who said that she just wishes she could slap him at times and I have to agree with her. He is such a wimp. I get it that he kinda got caught in between both worlds, but he just never gets over it and stand up for what he believes in.

    6. The character you would totally smooch…
    August. Just totally cute.

    7. The character you’d want to be like…
    Red, no doubt. She is just awesome.

    8. The character you’d like to slap…
    David, the blue fairy and Cora

    9. A pairing that you love…

    I know a lot of people are super fans of Rumbelle, but I just am not a huge fan of the two of them. I really don’t know what pairing I like at the moment. I would love to see Red pair up with someone and see what happens.

    10. A pairing that you despise…

    I agree with obisgirl on Emma and Gold. I really don’t like the two of them working together.

    Thank guys for your warm welcome. It is kinda difficult to join the live chats (although I really want to), since it is connected to twitter, which is blocked here. I guess I’ll just have to download the podcasts later and join the forums 😀
    I am a total August fan and can’t wait to see how the cloud of purple doom is going to deal with him.
    Hope to be able to enter into some discussions with you and share theories.

    Hi guys,

    Ok so I am quite new to the forums and this might have been covered in the pages and pages of Rumple analysis, but I thought this was quite a nice little details that was added to the Rumple character in OUaT. I just finished reading the original story and when the servant found Rumplestilskin dancing around the fire it says that Rumple was hopping around on one leg. It made me think of mr. Gold walking around with a cane.
    Just a nice little detail I think.

    My theory is totally far fetched and not really based on anything, but we were talking opposites and how characters seem to not be the same in Storybrooke and Enchanted Forrest. So I thought, wouldn’t it be totally funny if Dr. Whale is Tom Thumb. Instead of a monstrous big animal he’s as big as a thumb.
    That would be soooooooo funny.
