Last four weeks forums was extremely slow with new discussion, then a few new spoilers come from a festival panel and the forum talk skyrocket just the day before I go to vacation on Las Vegas, when I don’t get to follow the forum just as regularly? Yeah, thanks, A & E! 😆
Jokes aside, loved all the new information we got. I’m particularly curious about how A & E really worded their comment about seeing more of Charming’s backstory – Wetpaint’s live tweet said that they’d “finally” explore that, which is odd because we’ve been seeing that since season 1. It’s like there’s some big bombshell to be revealed about him that we don’t know yet, and only now in season 3 could they do it, and yet every single article more detailed written toned that down a bit, as if it was just same business as usual. What gives, then?

Crack theory idea: Alice, in the books, has a sister. The sister always came across, to me at least, as snobby and mean, but not evil. However in the Onceverse, couldn’t those traits become evil. What if the RQ is Alice’s sister who disappeared a long time ago and became Queen. The RQ wants Cyrus for herself and is willing to do whatever it takes.
Oh, I like that! A & E really love a family feud, that’d be a nice way to keep the themes of OUAT still going strong in OUATinWL with a completely different take.

That’s really cute of Jared, and many other actors on the show have expressed similar opinions, but I don’t want SwanFire together just because of Henry. I think Neal is honestly the better match for her. Emma and Hook do have chemistry and they do understand each other, but Emma and Neal are a better fit, and getting together just for a child is disastrous.
I’m willing to give them a pass because there’s only so much one can say with the 140 characters allowed by Twitter messages. I don’t think Jared or any of the other actors intended to suggest that Emma and Neal should end up together just because they’re Henry’s parents, I think it’d be along the lines of both characters so clearly loving each other and having a son on top of that that binds them together that the FEELS for them to be a complete loving family far trumps any other chemistry might have with other suitors.

A&E said “maybe a rhombus”.
Actually, Adam recently tweeted that his “rhombus” tweet was a joke.

(Sidenote: I’d love for Snowing to have another kid by show’s end, so let’s throw an infant aunt/uncle for Henry into the mix too while we’re at it.)
I kind of wonder given Lana Parilla getting married, and how close Josh/Ginny are, whether it’s possible that either actress might in real life get pregnant over the run of this show, and then the writers might have to write it in or do the whole “hide the bump” thing. I think it would be interesting either way for Henry to end up with a sibling/aunt/uncle/relation (and I think Ginny has pitched the idea to the writers).
When we see one pregnancy in a show, we’ve seen them all. One baby is enough until the series finale, and if there is one couple in the show who’s emotionally ready since ever to have one, it’s Snowing. I definitely would like to see them having another child, they certainly deserve this after completely missing Emma growing up and I believe it to be on the cards, but probably for a later season like 4 or 5. I imagine Adam and Eddy would want to exhaust the possibilities for growth for the Charming/Snow/Emma as well as stabilize their relationship with Regina before bringing another baby of theirs to the table.
I do hope, however, that we’re not forced a baby storyline because one of the actresses got pregnant in real life. It rarely fits well within the ongoing plot, they’d better off doing the classic “hide that baby” when shooting her scenes.
I guess it’s worth an inquiry now why Alice lives in a fictional London and Wendy in the real one. Anyone feel like tweeting him? 😀

I think the fictional Victorian London may have to do with Alice not being where it appears to her that she is. Those asylum people seemed a bit too interested in her renouncing things all too specifically. I wonder if she is in a trap, not back home at all.
That’s a good point, I’ve considered this before, but Adam’s comment threw me for a loop for a moment that I forgot about it. And the trailer certainly does sound like she’s in trap with that random someone saying “Alice, she needs help” (do we even know or suspect who says that, anyway? I certainly didn’t recognize that voice as being from anyone of the main cast).

Agreed. Neal and Emma are both complicated, messed up characters with issues both personal and between themselves, which makes for a far more interesting and satisfying love story in the long term to me than Hook and Emma. And then there’s Henry: as the character who drives most of the major storylines forward, I can’t see OUAT ending in a way that doesn’t reflect HIS happy ending, and what more does Henry want than his parents getting back together?
Well, the last part I don’t know if I agree with entirely. Henry wants his parents to be happy, and if he thought they made each other miserable, he probably would not want them together just to create a family unit. He’s already used to the idea of two moms who love him even if they don’t love, let alone like, each other or live with each other. Henry would be happy if everyone could get along and not try to kill/curse each other! Luckily for SF, things between Neal and Emma were never that full of animosity and hate. So it could be written different ways–but I saw it as Henry is intuitive and wanted them together because he thought they did still love each other.
Well, I didn’t delve deeper into that precisely because we know Neal and Emma DO love each other and so does Henry. But yeah, if Neal was indeed this bastard that impregnated Emma only to leave her like she hinted in the first season Henry would definitely want her to end up with someone better.
The bottomline is: between Neal and Hook, Henry’d much rather that Emma ended up with his dad, but would be acceptive of Hook if that’s who Emma really wants to be. However, like I said, I see the end of the series better reflecting Henry’s happy ending than Emma’s, Regina’s, Hook’s or whoever else’s and to Henry an ending with Neal and Emma as a couple parenting him together is happier than the two of them being friends who co-parent.
Naturally, that’s how I view things, feel free to disagree. 🙂

Regarding the swan pendant, I can’t wait for the day when he gives it back to her, (you know it’s gotta happen).
Oh, yeah! 🙂
