ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast
Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
If I were in Emma’s position I would be very suspicious of all of these seemingly unconnected people telling me the same crazy story. I think she’s assuming that all of these people are insane but is having trouble rationalizing how it is that every insane person in this town is imagining the exact same fictional world.
I LOVE her reaction in this episode when August is trying to get her to believe. It’s like they both know that she could believe, and she’s made the decision not to because she’s terrified that anyone might rely on her.
I had assumed that the book was some sort of chronicle of the curse, and who had been affected by it. If Pinocchio wasn’t there when the curse happened he may not have been in the book. This would be especially true if Snow White and company had some hand in creating the book, since they had no idea that Pinocchio went through the wardrobe.
