Love Interest. Sorry for the confusion–people were mentioning True Love and who they thought Henry’s father was and I thought I’d give my opinion on it. 😀 Although thinking about it now, it could be that her Love Interest will be her True Love–no one’s really sure.
That said, not really a big fan on Jefferson and Emma–he is a possibility and all, but given how he kidnapped her and Mary Margaret (though he did save her from leaving Storybrooke) and force her to make a hat while holding a gun to her head, it is hard for me to imagine Emma giving him a chance, let alone forgiving him. Not to mention that he helped Regina to get the apple that was meant to poison Emma, only Henry ended up getting hurt–Emma is couragous and kind and loyal, but she has never struck me as forgiving, especially when the people she loves get hurt.
[adrotate group="5"]Not sure how Snow White will react to this. She is obviously going to remember everything Prince Charming did, how he didn’t stand up for her or believe her, but I think she will forgive him–the reunion scene alone should say that their love is true and steadfast. Plus, she was willing to forgive Regina when the latter sent the Huntsman to kill her, and she still seemed pleading and sympathetic during their confrontation in Apple As Red As Blood. And Prince Charming was under the curse, so that affected his whole behavior. Snow White has been shown to be fearless, but she is also forgiving.
But Prince Charming himself is going to be fulled with shame for what he did–just alone on his character, how he if full of honor, compassion, justice, and courage. The following link has a interview with some of the cast and their thoughts on their characters for season 2–including Josh Dallas. Just warning people who may not want to view minor spoilers.
I saw the video–it was hilarious and well done. 😀 I did pay strict attention to Dr. Whale’s part, hoping for some clue to who he was.
He seems to be someone very confident and a smooth-talker. After reading the fairytale–and it was pretty good–I can’t be sure if he is the Prince in it. We haven’t gotten much of his character in the series, but what we have seen hasn’t been particularly favorable. He went out with Mary Margaret but seemed to be more attracted to Ruby. He seems to work with Regina. It could be the curse of course–it made Prince Charming act less than charming.
I don’t see Baelfire as being Henry’s father. Partly because I don’t want him to have ended up as a deadbeat–though there could have been a misunderstanding or he could have hardened if that is the case. But it is also the odds of that even happening–the savior meeting the reason behind the curse and conceiving a child together. It seems too much.
That said, I wouldn’t mind Baelfire and Emma being each other’s True Love in the romantic sense. It would be a better way for the characters to connect without it being too much coincidental, and I think Emma and Baelfire would have a lot in common.
1). Both were sent to a land without magic.
2). Both were abandoned. Baelfire by his father (Rumpelstiltskin did chose magic over his own son) and Emma was abandoned by Pinocchio.
3). Both are connected to the curse. Baelfire is the reason behind it’s creation and Emma is the savior, the key to the curse.
4). Both are probably going to have issues with their parents.I think Emma might have an easier time connecting with Snow White than Prince Charming. They both were roomates, giving them both more time together. Emma started giving Mary Margaret advice in the beginning, before it switched the other way around–and then Mary Margaret turned into Snow White in Apple As Red As Blood and was a mom to her. Emma was the only one to believe that Mary Margaret was innocent–I don’t really blame David as much as many do. He was cursed. Mary Margaret was one of the first people in the whole town to make Emma feel at home, and the latter was working hard to prove that the former was innocent. And we have already seen Emma open up to Mary Margaret, lowering her defenses slightly and confiding about her past and her guilt.
With Emma and her father, there might not be much between them because not much happened with them. They did have a few scenes together, and Emma was never harsh on him, even when he was a suspect in Kathryn’s murder. They had a few moments where Emma did look sympathetic, but never were they as close as Emma and Mary Margaret were.
As for Henry, they both bonded, but now Emma may be responsible for him–unless Regina manages to get him back somehow. She has taken care of him–she’s saved him at least twice from certain death, and she has given him affection that he does seem to crave. 😀 But I think this is going to be difficult for her, too–she now has to bond with him, like how she bonded with Mary Margaret. It is different to care for someone and not live with them as opposed to caring and living with them. She does not know his habits, nor may she be used to having a child around.
I don’t think she literally meant she didn’t know what the sword was. Her expression looked more like do-you-really-expect-me-to-use-a-sword look. She is a sheriff, so of course she is to using a gun.
And with the library, it may have said that outside, but on the inside in looked like it hadn’t been used in years. Also, Emma may be remembering her event with Graham and when he was looking for his heart–I doubt she knows that Regina killed Graham, but I am pretty sure that by now she has figured that nothing in this town is what it seems, and that many of them may serve for Regina’s purposes.
None of the characters on the show seem to really be plot devices because they are all developed–we see their personalities, their fears, the people they love, what they are capable of when angered or desperate, and the things they regret. Even though August was only in a few stories, we get his backstory in a full episode.
That said, Snow white, Evil Queen, Rumpelstiltskin, Prince Charming, Emma, and Henry seem to be the main focus of the series. I know the writers said Snow White, Prince Charming and Rumpelstiltskin were the true heart, but there is so much development given to Emma and Henry, that I can’t help but include them. All of these characters are where the story is at–Rumpelstiltskin created the curse to find Bae, Regina enacted the curse for her revenge, Snow White and Prince Charming were mortal enemies of the queen and tried to keep their kingdom safe. Emma is the savior–she is the one to bring back the happy endings. And even though the curse is broken, she will continue to do so. And Henry is the one that convinced Emma to believe, along with providing Emma with support and knowledge of the curse.
But all the other characters like Pinocchio, Belle, Mad Hatter, Red Riding Hood, Jiminy, and Cinderella and etc are just as important because their stories are effected or effect the main cast. They make deals, or are double-crossed, or aid the main characters, and we learn in their centric episodes why they do what they do, or how they came to be who they are.
Wonderland and Neverland being taken over by the curse is not that hard to believe. The curse is designed to take away all the happy endings–although it’s real purpose was to find Baelfire. Technically, Wonderland and Neverland are in different worlds, but seeing as how Rumpelstiltskin had Hook’s hook in his shop, it can be implied that he had either been to Neverland, or he made a deal with someone that had been from Wonderland and had given him the Hook. He may have also taken it for himself.
Also, Regina did have a had in writing the curse to make everyone unhappy. She may have also written it to take Wonderland, Neverland, and any other worlds that she had been to. It is not too surprising that she would curse Wonderland–she hates the Queen of Hearts.
Your welcome. 🙂
I think, from what I gathered, that Regina was going to use Belle. But she wouldn’t have been able to just say, I have Belle–Rumpelstiltskin would have used ‘please’ and just rescued Belle, not to mention that she would be forced to endure his wrath. Not sure how much Regina knows about Rumpelstiltskin’s early years of being the Dark One, but I am sure she knows enough (the incident with Moe comes to mind) to know that he is not a forgiving man.
The writers said that Regina would have had to have waited for a moment when she could have used Belle–I don’t think Regina had counted on the please. She did think he wouldn’t remember that, and I also think she underestimated the power that it would hold over her.
Also, Regina’s happiness comes from everyone else being miserable. It is why she hadn’t tried to get rid of Mary Margaret before Emma arrived–she enjoyed the torture she inflicted on everyone. At the end of Skin Deep, she looked really happy to see Belle curled up in the room–that also goes to Rumpelstiltskin, keeping him away from his True Love. I also think that Regina enjoyed keeping one of the few people that meant to Rumpelstiltskin away. She knows he has a certain amount of power over her, and I think it gave her enjoyment to keep someone that he wanted.

That is a good point. It hasn’t really been confirmed, but it is a strong speculation. We know she did make it to the tavern after Rumpeltiltskin kicked her out of the Dark Castle, and then the curse got enacted sometime afterwards. She may had been on her way to her father, perhaps she was going to travel like she always wanted, or she may have even wanted to return to Rumpelstiltskin and try to talk to him again. It can be assumed (for now) that Regina had captured Belle sometime after the tavern with Dreamy/Grumpy event.
