Yet it is still a show for 8pm Sunday, and one that wants to put a more hopeful spin in the end
Yeah, I can see them doing a lighter version of this instead of something out of The Hunger Games trilogy. Perhaps Bae’s group gets some victories here and there to keep the hope theme, while still maintaining that vibe that the whole experience is traumatic to him. But in the end, a definite victory would have to be postponed to present day, since Peter appears to be still very much in power in Neverland.

Were GOAT always completely aware of their mission though? Are they aware of exactly why they’ve kidnapped Henry? Or are they just blindly following orders from their boss, who in turn answers to PP? It was established that GOAT are unaware of who they’re really working for, which suggests that they don’t know of PP, or why they were told to take Henry to NL.
I can buy into the idea that THO exists to find Henry. But I think that GOAT are just footsoldiers who don’t know the whole story, so when they spouted all the “destroy magic” stuff, they genuinely believed that that was their mission, and they genuinely do not like magic.
An intermediary seems likely. Maybe Felix?

I never saw LOST…..hm….maybe they totally are going to reference it. Look out for Ralph, Piggy or Jack as character names and a conch shell …could be clues! I mean, they could just easily have random Lost Ones have those names, and at one point a random set prop of the shell and they’d pretty much weave it in without having to do much.
I doubt they’d be using names from the book, Lord of the Flies isn’t one of those books that are in public domain yet. Especially Piggy, it’s one of those names you’d connect to the book instantly.
When the parallel first came to me, it was because I was getting a total Jack Merridow vibe out of this take of Peter Pan, with the Lost Ones standing in for Jack’s tribe. Bae could easily be a version of Ralph in this world; depending on how depressing the life of the “rest” is (could they be akin to slaves?), Bae could lead them against Peter and his Lost Ones, turning Neverland into a bloody battlefield. For Bae this’d be a really traumatic experience and would explain much of his unwillingness to talk with Rumple in Manhattan – his father would have basically damned him to hell when he let Bae go. For Peter, however, it’d totally be in a twisted take on his character to see this rebellion as an exciting game, something to take him out of his boredom.
Then again, this IS insanely dark, they might not want to go there with the potential to require bloodshed from teenagers or young adults. What I do know is that Bae’s life in Neverland is certain to not be paradise; in fact, it feels too much like prison already.
Peter Pan was already pretty well established as the overlord of Neverland six or so months AFTER Rumple became the Dark One, if anything RUMPLE would be the one to be the apprentice here. Peter outlives Rumple, probably even by a LOT.

Hmmm… I thought Ariel was pretty much a sure thing.
The only sure thing for next season is that we’ll see Peter Pan, and he’s the Big Bad… at least for the first half. Anything else is still too early to say, because they’re likely still plotting the season. Also, notice this was an Once Wonderland question; Ariel could be someone that’ll be introduced in the spin-off and not the main show, for all we know. 🙂
Did I see mermaids in that OUAT in Wonderland trailer? AMAZING! Any chance we’ll see THE most important mermaid Ariel next season?? — Holli
It’s up in the air according to EPs Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. “Obviously Neverland brings up mermaids and it brings up fairies,” says Kitsis. “We have ideas for Ariel. When we introduce her is up in the air because we’re still figuring out what we want to do. There’s a possibility we’ll see her.” Horowitz adds that she’s “one of our favorite characters” and “if and when we do it, we just want to make sure we do it right.” One thing you can count on? Her story will very much follow the Once model — surprises on top of surprises. “The thing that we love to do and that we will continue to do is, we do love to be able to say, here’s the backstory of an iconic character, but it’s not what you think,” Kitsis says. “So for Beauty and the Beast, we realized the beast was Rumpelstiltskin. And we realized Bae was with the Darlings, and that Red Riding Hood was the wolf. We still want to be able to show you our versions of things, and of course Ariel is at the top of the list.”http://www.spoilertv.com/2013/05/latest-from-ew-various-shows-16th-may.html
I don’t think anyone on this board will make this mistake, we’re too fanatic about ONCE to know even the tiniest details! 😆

Off the topic of Tamara; I liked how they had the shadow running the Home Office. It made it tie in nicely.
But do you think the shadow is Peter Pan, or do you think that guy was referring to himself in third person? If you think about it, it could be either one. I automatically assumed the shadow was Peter, but that guy the said “Peter Pan never fails,” could have been referring to himself in third person. Either way, I liked how it tied in.It’s already been confirmed that they’ll be casting a male actor for Peter Pan next season. 🙂
