Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
And…
Now my life is complete:
This is my two sense 🙂
Henry is in a coma. But because we’re in a land without magic, and it seems like Henry’s dead (remember, Snow had no breath when she ate the apple) they’re going to declare him dead, and want to bury him, etc. But Regina knows that he’s NOT dead, and the only way she can keep them from doing it is to come clean in some way about the curse.
I kind of think… Rumple was married to Bael’s mother. I think the assumption would be (esp. in front of their child) that Rumple’s wife had been his true love. I’m assuming Blue didn’t know enough about Rumple’s personal relationships to know that his wife hadn’t been his true love…
I didn’t know that. Very cool. But I know! So in love with this song!
@Midnight Dreary I know! 🙂 I hope someone does something with it
@An Empty Heart – I know right! I’m obsessed! 🙂
I think it’s a lot simpler…
As they’ve said: “magic isn’t born, it’s made.” I think Cora was a very poor Miller’s daughter, and that her story proceeded in much the same way as the original story. I think she was forced to spin straw into gold, really loved Regina’s father, the prince, and made three deals over three nights with Rumple in order to save her life. When it came time to give the baby (Regina) up, Rumple took pity on her, and gave her an out – guessing his name. Which she managed to do by unfair means.
I think, because of everything Cora had to go through, and the fact that she fell out of love with Regina’s father (something that is briefly mentioned in this episode) she became obsessed with power. She never wanted to be in the position of the victim again. I think she went back to Rumple, and began making other deals with him in order to gain power. I think Regina absolutely knows that she was supposed to be given to Rumple – I don’t think Cora ever lets her forget what she did for her…
I’m wondering if the pretty/fairest thing will be a plot point that evolves later – and connect the time line between Snow running into the woods and the apple…
I’ve always thought that this favor might come into play after they’re in FTL – in which case she’ll have no choice…
Thanks Phee!
