It also sounds like Bae goes straight to FictionalLondon first and then NL.
Do we even know that London’s intended to be a fictional version? Bae’s destination was meant to be The Land Without Magic, I’d think that’s supposed to be the real one.
If so, then they’d best explain why Nealfire told Emma that this world wasn’t his first stop. Just sayin’. The way they call it, “back in 19th century London” in the press release does make it sound like it’s London in our world. I’d be fine with that being the case, if not for what Nealfire told Emma, which is fast becoming a pet peeve for me. GAH!
BTW, I don’t really buy the, “It was like a different world back then,” explanation, because even if uneducated Bae wouldn’t make the connection that 19th century London and modern day America were in the same world, Nealfire’s had plenty of time to learn him some Earth history.
To be fair, one’s bound to lose a few details when attempting to cram 150-200 years of your life in a single line that hopes to explain satisfactorially enough to someone how you knew another. 🙂

Yes it is nontraditional–but it makes me wonder. Knowing the tradition, they could easily have done something along these lines to let Colin play the role (blonde with grey touches wig, no guyliner, have him seated so we don’t see the limp…shave him clean 😆 .)
That they bothered to cast someone else, even knowing they had to scale back Colin’s scenes this year, rather than letting him have a go at this–makes me wonder. Do they plan a bigger arc for George Darling…..Maybe running the Home Office?
Well, George’d have to be as long lived as Gold and Neal for him to be able to do it in present day, but I like the speculation that he may have a connection to The Home Office. I could see him as the one who gave birth to it after losing his children to magic, maybe never even seeing them again. There are, after all, pictures of the Lost Boys in Stevenson from the finale, potentially suggesting that they arrived at Storybrooke at some point, and I think it was mentioned that Freya Tingley, who we now know plays Wendy, was with them.

Having the Darlings be real all along is quizzical, granted, but maybe the explanation for that will come when they finally clue us how our world knows versions of the stories of people that really existed in other lands. Or not. 😆

The official press release has Andrew Airlie listed as George Darling, so nope Colin is not playing him.
They actually broke tradition? 😮

Would Captain Hook actually be Wendy’s dad, or would Colin, the actor, simply also portray Mr. Darling? In the 2003 version, the same actor, Jason Isaacs, played both Captain Hook and Mr. Darling, but that didn’t mean Captain Hook was Wendy’s father. It was just one actor playing two different roles that were distinct and not one in the same.
No, only the actor is the same for both roles, they’re not really the same guy. It’s one of those theater gimmicks that became tradition in adaptations; Jason Isaacs is hardly the first one to do that, in fact Hans Conried did the same in Disney’s Peter Pan.
But here’s the catch: those adaptations usually feature Hook with a wig and other facial additions, which makes him look different enough from Mr. Darling. Save for a guyliner, Colin doesn’t play Hook with that much makeup, so I doubt they can pull him to play Wendy’s father and the audience not confuse him with his more known role in the series.

I know it would not fit with most people’s iconic idea of Ariel as a teenager but I like that Ariel is a mommy 😆
Honestly, this iconic image of Ariel, if it even exists, is more accidental than anything. Each and every one of Disney’s princesses are teenagers: Snow White is 14, Belle is 17, Aurora is 16 and Mulan is 16. Cinderella, with her 19 years old, is the eldest in the Disney Princess lineup. It’s not, therefore, a defining trait of the character; a young adult in her early 20s can play the role of the rebel child of a strict father just as well.

I wonder if Regina is telling the truth, that she let Kurt go, and whilst he was looking for Greg, the organisation came and kidnapped him.
I’ve had that idea in my mind since “Selfless, Brave and True”. Back then, Tamara was showcased as someone so manipulative and murderous that I thought that, if not for the age problem, I could totally have seen her doing that in order to get Greg on her side. When it came to me that Tamara was likely only a thread of an even sinister entity (“The Home Office”, is that supposed to be its name?), I realized that this pretty much circunvented the age problem and that’s since been the hypothesis I’m betting my chips on.

This is clearly a fake guys, it completely contradicts the conclusion of last nights episode. For example the entire Hook plotline.
I see no contradiction to the Hook plotline here, he’s still very much aligned to Greg and Tamara and he’d definitely warn Tamara about the beans if he feared Rumple could use them to escape being killed.
That said, Regina burned the bean field last episode, there aren’t many beans left, I don’t see how this can be a threat to Greg and Tamara’s plans.
