Just a note about Ursula: Yvette Nicole Brown recently left Community to care for her father, so she may not be appearing on OUaT any time soon.
If Ingrid takes the potion, she can’t create the snowstorm, so he wouldn’t let her do that.
What snow storm??? I meant in the flashback. Why, when Ingrid and her sister went to him for help did he not give her the potion that would take her powers away for good?
Instead he gave her some gloves and an urn, when he could have prevented the tragedy from happening to the sisters, had he given her the potion instead. I’d be mad as all heck if I were Ingrid and found out about its existence, and that Rumple had it all along, but didn’t give it to her in the EF.
I should clarify: going by my theory. Sorry about that.
I just want to know why he offered Ingrid the gloves and urn instead of the potion it looks like he’ll give Emma in next week’s episode. Did he need this to happen to Arendelle’s royal family? What was his angle? Why turn her into the icy equivalent of Rogue by giving her those gloves, when he could have just taken her powers for good? I hope Ingrid does’t find out about the potion, because, if I were in her shoes, the blame would quickly shift from her sister to Rumple, knowing he could have prevented the entire tragedy and enabled the three sisters to live a normal life.
If Ingrid takes the potion, she can’t create the snowstorm, so he wouldn’t let her do that.
Of course, this is assuming she was Urn-ed the entire time between this episode and “Rocky Road.” Grand Pabbie used Rumpel’s favorite phrase word-for-word. Who’s to say he wasn’t (at the time) Rumpel in disguise?
Interesting. But other people have used that phrase who haven’t met Rumple….like Jafar from WL. I think it’s a general theme that the writers like to play with as opposed to some sort of conspiracy.
Jafar and Maleficent were both villains (who both could have easily encountered Rumpel, especially Mal. Jafar has to have gotten to Wonderland, somehow.
Also, you gotta laugh …Slurpeez, stop trying to make “fetch” happen. It’s not going to happen.
Anyway I sent this theory to the feedback email:
Emma is Helga reincarnated.
Snow was born during a harsh winter, right? Much like Winter Storm Elsa, AKA the Polar Vortex. Now, a common theory is that this winter was caused by Ingrid. What if this storm is what got Ingrid trapped? What if she killed Helga the same way Elsa nearly killed Ana [sic] (and Ingrid, as far as I’m concerned, killed Hans)?
Anyway, Helga could have shattered (like the mirror) and her pieces could have ben blown by the storm as far as Misthaven. Snow would then have been born during this storm and somehow “bonded” with the pieces of Helga.
The timeslot was the biggest issue, I think–I was getting a little burnout from so much Once every week, and then nothing during the hiatus when I would have craved it. I think that losing their hatter also hurt the concept somewhat. Wonderland shone its brightest when Cora took over for a bit–having just a bit more overlap with the things that make Once its best (and I admit the creators don’t always seem to know what that is) would have helped.
The timeslot was definitely the problem. Thursday at 8PM is the most competitive timeslot on television, from what I understand; it’s not a good idea to put a freshman show there. Obviously, they learned from this, given what they’re doing with Agent Carter. Speaking of which, losing the Hatter obviously couldn’t be helped, since Stan was busy with Captain America: the Winter Soldier, much of the production being in Cleveland, which is on the other side of the continent from Vancouver. As for Cora, I think they were saving more of her for season 2, but that sadly never happened.
