My favorite episode this season. I’ve always wondered what a car chase would look like in Stroybrooke. 🙂

Another reason why we shouldn’t put anything past the writers of this show, however I don’t seem to remember them doing something quite so intricate in the past, except maybe James Whale linking to Frankenstein. This all could just be a red herring you know.
One thing I like to do is try to figure out what the writers would want to tell us. What would be the point of revealing who the character was in a secret code that they literally shoved right in our faces? If I was the writer, I would be a little more subtle. For instance, the James Whale clue. They mentioned his name once or twice, but they weren’t obvious about it until the episode “Broken” where David asks Dr. Whale directly about who he is.
The 404 error is a good theory, and it would certainly be subtle. Here are some quotes from Wikipedia about the 404 error:
A 404 error indicates that the requested resource may be available again in the future; however, the fact does not guarantee the same content.
If we apply this to Greg, does that mean that in order to protect the secret of Storybrooke, the fairy tale characters have to make him lose his memory, and once it’s lost he isn’t the same person? I’m starting to think that that could be what happens, and the fact that a 404 link is a “lost” (as in memory loss, not the show Lost, which would also be a nod) or “broken” (first episode of Season 2) link leads in this direction too is also a good indication of this.
In 2008, a study carried out by the telecommunications arm of the Post Office found that “404” had become a slang synonym for “clueless” in the United Kingdom.
Does this indicate that Greg is a clueless character? Will he figure out what’s going on? Will he become clueless if he loses his memory?
The web site hosting server will typically generate a “404 Not Found” web page when a user attempts to follow a broken or dead link; hence the 404 error is one of the most recognizable errors users can find on the web.
This seems to me to be a good reason why the writers would point us in this direction. If the clue was something obscure, there would be next to no chance of solving it.
Just some thoughts on the matter, hope they can help in solving this mystery.

Favorite moment: The end actually. Finally, things are speeding up in season 2. It’s really going to make waiting for the next episode unbearable. 🙁
Least favorite moment: The announcement that Cora was in Storybrooke. Now, maybe they would be a bit stunned by Archie’s return, and I can sort of understand if they cut the big “Archie! You’re alive!” part of that scene for time. But they should have been WAY more surprised that despite all the trouble Emma and Snow went to to keep Cora out of Storybrooke, she still arrived.
But this is still one of my favorite episodes, and seeing Belle using a book to help track down the monster was awesome. 😀

Here’s a theory of mine:
“The Queen is Dead” doesn’t refer to either Cora or Regina, but actually refers to the battle between Cora and Regina that ended with Regina believing the Queen, (Cora), to be dead. I doubt that they’d kill off either Regina or Cora, but my guess is that they will pretend that one of them is going to die all through the episode.
