    When David Anders said That, Frankenstein was not a very popular guess at all.

    For me, it was, but then I spend a lot of time reading various OUaT forums looking for spoilers. I know at TWoP when Dr. Whale was first introduced, someone already came up with the theory that he was Dr. Frankenstein, and I saw it increasingly more popular as time went by especially after the spoilers leaked of David Anders running around with a cooler and that special green thing on his arm.

    I just hope they keep the love triangles to a minimum 😐 MM/ David/ Kathryn was enough 🙄 lol

    I think love & true love are different things personally- kind of like how some people are together until death do them part (they never fall out of love or grow apart), while others are divorced in 1,5,10,15,20yrs later as they simply fall out of love &/or grow apart.

    Yes, I hope they keep love triangles to a minimum too, but I’m not sure that they’ll be able to knowing the writers and producers involved with the show. I think it would be sort of refreshing though if they did keep them to a minimum because like you I think that if everyone has one true love, at least in fairy tales, they don’t need to have a character angsting about whether they should choose person A or person B.

    Also, if Peter had been Red’s TRUE love, wouldn’t their kissing have essentially broken her werewolf curse? I’m not entirely sure if it is a curse, since she was born with the werewolf gene. It’s an interesting question which I hope they explore some more.

    Interesting question. I’m not sure it could have because it’s genetic, but then again they are fairy tales so maybe there is a permanent cure for Red.

    I really hope Peter wasn’t her true love either, but I guess we’ll see.

    Anyway, looks like Regina/Evil Queen is set to make an appearance in 2×7:

    I don’t think they’ll kill off Red so soon after making Megan Ory, but over at IMDb recently people were discussing which main characters are most likely to die and unfortunately she and Granny were at the top of the list. I don’t know if there are any big deaths for this season, but yes I would have to put some of my money on Granny too if there is one.

    Anyhow, for now Regina could try to use Red against the “good” side or try to make a deal with her, or it just could have nothing to do with Red, since I think Regina is required to be in every episode just like Emma and Mary Margaret.

    I’ll guess that Rachel Shelley (age 43) could play Anita, since we haven’t heard any other recent casting for the role for 2×7:

    Yes, we know it can’t be Milha, lol, since episode 4 is already done filming, so I’m guessing she must be Anita. I’m still wondering why they never revealed who was playing Jack and Milha; although I can guess for the former who is playing him.

    I, personally, don’t really like the idea of Bae being Peter. It just doesn’t seem to fit his personality. Peter is impulsive and childish but Bae seems more cautious and rather mature for his age. Not only that, but, besides the faeries themselves, Peter is arguably the most magical person in Neverland (he is the only boy who can fly, after all). That doesn’t seem to fit with Bae, to me.

    Yes, I can see arguments for Bae being Peter or the Wizard from the Wizard of Oz, but I’m not really fond of either idea because I feel it would be a cheat if the the bean took him some place that there was magic.

    That’s also an excellent point about it not really fitting Bae’s personality. Not that people can’t change like I expect I’m sure he has, but it would be strange, I think if he went from a cautious, mature boy to a boy that refused to grow up, then assuming he’s Henry’s father, which I'm 99% sure he must be based on the most recent TV Guide spoilers, turning into a man that acts like a boy who then becomes a mature an adult by the end. It just seems like a lot of personality changes for one character even if he is several hundred years old if he were Peter Pan even his dad. Maybe if he was just Peter Pan, but since I don’t think he’s just going to be Peter Pan, I think they’ll just have him be Bae, Henry’s dad, and whatever alias he’s calling himself on Earth.

    I’m rooting for Baelfire to be Henry’s father too. It just makes too much sense to not be true. And it would add an extra element of mystery to Henry’s character. Henry could quite possibily have two of the most powerful parents on the show. Emma is the savior, and the curse is actually about Baelfire, so that makes him significant as well. His parents will have a direct connection to not only the curse, but the center of the story. So, with Henry having such powerful parents, what does that make Henry? He could end up being this story’s Luke Skywalker for all we know.

    Yes, obviously Henry is already a very special kid, but I do think that it would give him even more of a purpose in the story if Bae turns out to be his father and Rumple his grandfather. One of the reasons is that I just feel like there would be a nice balance/symmetry between the family unit of Emma, Bae, and Henry.

    For instance, right now at the IMDb forums, there’s a lively debate going on in whether or not Bae’s or Henry’s way is better in dealing with their respective evil parents. I think both kids are right in how they handled it because they’re not exactly the same situations, but I was thinking about how if Bae turns out to be Henry’s dad, they can help each other gain some kind of perspective or balance I guess. I’m not saying that Henry has to ever forgive Regina or be a part of helping redeem her, but I think it would be wonderful to see father and son bond eventually over the situations that they were put into to. Maybe Bae could help Henry see that Regina might be evil, but she wasn’t always that way, and Henry could help Bae come to terms with his own father.

    Plus, I think that they could all help each other with the terrible situations life dealt them. Bae and Henry could help Emma understand more what Emma’s parents were trying to do for her since the former was actually abandoned by his parent, perhaps by both his parents, and the latter completely understands why his mom gave him up for adoption.

    Of course, they would all give each other the family that each of them wants but doesn’t have yet.

    Wow! I always miss all the good OUaT when I have to work.

    Very interesting titles. I notice that they’re mostly one word titles this season, so far, for some reason.

    -“The Crocodile” – It’s nice to have confirmation on this.

    I just wanted to add this tweet from Jane Espenson,

    We watched ep 204 (season 2/ep 4) in the room this week– might be my fave ep to date. You will love! #OnceUponATime

    Mmm, I’m thinking it might be because of one or two things or perhaps both. The first thing is knowing how much she loved Spike on “Buffy”, I bet Hook will be one of her favorites to write for, so I could see how he could make this a favorite episode for her. Or it could be because the angst factor is through the roof because the woman does love her angst, imo, so with that in mind, I think it’s even more likely that Jospehine’s idea of Bae’s very early years being like the folk song “The House Carpenter” is going to turn out to be even more likely. Or it could be because of Hook and the angst.

    All I have to say is damn, if this episode has as much angst as I think it’s going too, I can’t even imagine how many tissues I’m going to need while I’m watching it. Also, poor Bae. 😥 He better get his happy ending if this episode is as depressing as I think it’s going to be when we find out what happened to his mom.

    -“The Doctor” – In a way, I will feel sort of cheated if Dr. Whale does turn out to be Frankenstein only because David Anders said that it would be something that no one has guessed, when Frankenstein is a really popular guess out there. I know he can’t say that someone already guessed it because it would give it away, but I wish he hadn’t said that no one guessed it. Plus, I like the Puss in Boots/Cheshire Cat theory better now because those are real magical characters whereas Dr. Frankenstein never had any magical powers.

    -“Tallahassee” – I’m most excited about this one. Finally, an Emma-centric episode that might contain flashbacks!!! I’m confused on how the timeline would work though because if this episode is about her meeting Henry’s dad, then why would Tallahassee be important since that came after she already gave up Henry for adoption. Maybe she was trying to find him because of whatever he did like if she saw him kill someone or something along those lines? Did she settle in Tallahassee after getting out of prison, but then he found her again and that’s why she moved several times after that?

    I love that Jane Espenson wrote this episode. She’s not the most perfect writer since she does have some duds, but she’s wrote my three favorite episodes, “The Return”, “Desperate Souls”, and “Skin Deep”. I wonder if Henry’s dad/Bae will be one of her pets then because that would be good in a way. Not that I want him to be overused and create backlash or become a Mary Sue/Gary Stu, but hopefully I won’t get the latter where it seems like the writers just absolutely hate the character because they don’t know what to do with him/her.

    Thanks for posting the link to those answers.

    Here’s the ones that I found the most interesting,

    Will Emma’s favor that she owes Mr. Gold (Robert Carlyle) come into play in Season 2?
    Kitsis and Horowtiz: Hell yes!

    I wonder if the favor has to do with Bae, and if it’s before or after he finds Bae.

    Since Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) is coming, is there a chance we’ll see Peter Pan or Wendy?
    Kitsis: There is a chance we’ll see Peter Pan, Wendy and/or… [dramatic pause] Tinker Bell. I would say that a story like Tinker Bell’s deserves its own origin story.

    I guess Bae could be Peter Pan, but they don’t seem to be trying to hide anything to me or answering for sure that we will see Peter Pan, which makes me think that Peter is someone other than Bae if they do introduce him. I think it can also mean Dr. Whale is ruled out. (Of course, after David Anders’s recent hints, I already gave up on the Dr. Whale is Peter Pan theory.)

    Is Henry’s father someone we’ve already met?
    Horowitz: Can’t answer.

    Basically more confirmation for me that Bae is Henry’s father.

    Perhaps Once Upon a Tail fits the Cheshire Cat theory. At first, I thought no way, but now I’m starting to wonder. The Cheshire Cat could disappear, which might explain his missing limb. We’re supposed to find out his connection to Regina in episode 5. Could Dr. Whale have been her cat in FTL, since she’s a witch?

    Yes, I wasn’t really sure if they would make him an animal because he slept with Snow White, but maybe he used to be a man first like Jiminy did.

    Well witches do traditionally have familiars, which are often portrayed as being cats. He was her lapdog in SB coz he was her cat in FTL? 😉 This Cheshire Cat theory could work. It’d certainly explain why he was still happily wandering around SB, even with a missing limb, because the Cat could make parts of his body disappear. The Cheshire Cat is famous for his grin, and Mr Anders has a sly one of those himself. I’ve already had Regina pegged as having a tie to Wonderland because I think Cora is QoH. I wonder if the Cat’s ability to appear and disappear anywhere at will meant that he was able to pop back and forth between worlds? Maybe he was Regina’s pet, and she’d send him back and forth between worlds to spy on QoH.

    I could definitely see the Cheshire Cat sending messages back and forth between Regina and Cora in their little game of one-upping each other.

    If Dr Whale has a Wonderland connection, perhaps he knew Jefferson, (actually, reading up on my Cheshire Cat facts just now, he was the one who told Alice which direction the Hatter lived in), which could explain why Jefferson knew about the hospital dungeon. Perhaps?

    Yes, hopefully it would help that make sense too.

    Looking at the source of the interview, I see that the word that’s **** out here is a slang word for something rude, but is also another word for cat. Was he just swearing for the helluvit, or was he dropping a hint? 😉

    I think he’s probably trying to be both funny and give people a hint, at least I hope so because I agree with everyone that it was a pretty crude term for him to use. At first I thought it might be a clue to him being Puss in Boots, but he wasn’t from another world. So the Cheshire Cat definitely fits having a tail part and from being a different world, and while I’ve seen it guessed before, it’s not a popular theory in the way that Dr. Whale is Peter Pan, Frankenstein, Prince Eric, etc. were popular.

    I found another photo of the beanstalk in question.

    Thanks. I also saw one of a throne room. I don’t know if it’s the Giant’s because it looked small, but I think the Giant had a room of riches at least in some versions of the story.

    Maybe Emma is Jack. Like she has done other things. Like she sort of did the prince’s storyline from Sleeping Beauty in the finale. Maybe she and Snow are wherever the giant is and he is going to eat them and they run for it and go down the beanstalk and return to our world.

    Though i am not saying that Emma is really Jack, just that she would do Jack like things.

    Maybe Snow or someone that they’re with mentions that Emma is just like Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk, and then that makes her think of Henry’s father, because I still think his name is going to be Jack in our world even if he’s not the Jack from the Beanstalk story, and then we get a flashback to how she wound up in jail. I’m thinking that the flashback in the episode comes first before she actually does meet the father again. That way they can see each other again at the end, and she possibly slaps/punches him, and then we get the end credits that way we won’t see the rest of their meeting until after a mini-break in episodes.

    Why would they make a casting call if it is just Regina? And if it is pre dark one Rumpel then it can’t be Regina.

    Well I meant Lana Parilla as Milha that way we would know that Milha and Regina were related. Some shows do that especially soap operas. I think it tends to be cheesy, but sometimes it can work out.

    It’s just weird imo that they announced the casting for the character, but didn’t later come out and say who got the part even though it wouldn’t really be much of a spoiler if they announced it. I guess maybe it could be an actress that people don’t really know of, so it wouldn’t generate much publicity to do a press release especially if Milha is just going to be in one episode, but then why make a fuss about the role of Milha.

    What if the Blue Fairy is Milha? Just a random thought, but based on an interview with Keegan Connor Tracy in which she personally believed there was a past history between her character and Rumpel.

    I thought about that, but I’m not sure if Milha then became the Blue Fairy or just looked like the Blue Fairy. I guess it’s possible if Bae is Peter that the Blue Fairy is also Tinkerbell. Plus, it seemed like Keegan Connor Tracy didn’t really know anything, but was just guessing, so that’s another reason I didn’t think they would have her playing two parts.

    Robert Carlyle said that Rumpel and Hook have a history together that dates back to before he became the Dark One. Couple that with the spoilers for “The Crocodile” that say a bored housewife leaves her husband and child to join a band of theives, I’m going to say that Hook is the man Rumpel’s first wife left him for. And out of revenge, Rumpel chopped off his hand.

    I think so too except in my theory Milha cut off Hook’s hand because she wanted to go back to her son after running away with Hook, but he wouldn’t let her. (It’s based on Jospehine giving me the idea that the inspiration for Hook and Milha could have came from an English ballad “The House Carpenter”.) Rumple definitely works too though. It could be over revenge, or maybe Hook was trying to steal Bae from him because he thought Bae was rightfully his.

    I don’t really know how much Rumple cared for his first wife at all, so while I’m sure he would be upset if she ran off, I don’t know if he would chop off Hook’s hand unless maybe it was after he became the Dark Curse. Now if someone tried to harm Bae or take Bae from him, then I could see a pre-Dark Curse Rumple cutting off someone’s hand.

    I really don’t know if they’ll explore the idea of Bae being someone else’s son, but I think it would be an interesting parallel between Rumple and Regina, the lengths that both are willing to go to for their adopted sons if Bae turns out to be Captain Hook’s son.

    Thought this was interesting, mainly because I thought Whale being a creeper was just part of the curse and that his character would really be an honorable guy (for the most part). Some people are reading into his ‘you learn what world I come from’ comment to mean he’s defiantly not from Enchanted Forest…

    I just want to say I love this man even more with every “hint” that he releases about his Dr. Whale’s true identity. lol, I guess it’s safe to say that since his real self is a (self-censored term) he wasn’t honorable like I thought he might be.
