Has anyone seen the photograph of Dylan Schmid hanging in the background of one of Neal and Emma’s scenes in “Tallahassee?” Ever since I saw that photo, that has been my confirmation that Neal is in fact Baelfire.
Here is the link to post that has the pictures you are talking about. It just makes me smile when I think about how clever these writers are.

Storybrook has no choice but to exist they cannot humanly produce all the goods they have so, they have contact with the outside world (we also saw Kathryn apply to Boston university and get accepted).
I think it’s just one of thoses cases of “small town law” the city take care of the smaller stuff by itself (disorderly conduct, petty theft and what not) and for the bigger crimes or issue they have to refer to higher authorities. The only thing is, those bigger issue, never really happened… once when thought they found a human hearth they said they would have to transfer MM to a state penitentiary so she can have a trial by jury (or something like that).
Isolated small town have a tendency to wanna stay that way…
Exactly. They have to exist.
My husband and I are foster parents and, so I can tell you that no DCS caseworker will allow for kids to live in a town where (1) A home study has not been conducted, (2) The foster parents have not been approved by their state’s P.A.T.H. (Parents As Tender Healers) foster-training program (in TN, this is even necessary for when fostering relatives) and (3), the state has formally approved for the home to be classified as “open”, and scheduled for regular evaluation. No DCS caseworker from Boston, MA will allow kids to live in a town nobody knows about, or where home studies have not been conducted and approved.
How the show handles this stuff of course depends on how closely they stick to real-world models. Still the same, if Regina Mills has contact with people outside of Storybrooke, you’ve got to wonder about who these people are. The writers may not do anything with that, but the door is definitely open.
Marilou and Sarah…great observations. It makes the question of how was Henry adopted by someone in Storybrook an even greater mystery…an almost certainty that it was not through the normal process. Gold didn’t get his memory back until Emma returned but yet he is the one who arranged for Henry to be adopted by Regina.
(also…great thing about you being a foster parent 😀 )

I have a sneaking suspicion that either August or Baelfire had a hand in writing the book. I know the timing is a bit off, but I just can’t shake the feeling that they’re some how involved.
And I love the idea of Belle playing a role in discovering the book’s origins. 😀
I’ve always believed too. But the timeline kind of screws with the theory. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Baelfire was involved with it somehow. But if I had to bet money, I’d say the fairies wrote it. But that theory also kind of involves Baelfire. Baelfire’s most life-changing event happened because of a fairy. Being sent to another world. This event led to the creation of the curse and eventually, the fairies writing the book. There’s definitely some kind of connection there. So, if the fairies wrote the book as a way to help break the curse (a curse that was inspired by Baelfire), then he must be connected to the book somehow.
That’s a great thought…another thing that would support your idea is that the plan sort of backfired on the Blue Fairy at the last minute when she realized that Emma was born too soon and would have to go into the wardrobe alone. If the writer of the book was a human it would take a long time to make the book…but one would think that a fairy…especially the Blue Fairy could whip a book up with the wave of a wand. Perhaps the book contains everything needed to break the curse and bring Baelfire back to his people.

so I’d been thinking about this for awhile and there really isn’t an appreciative post of Hook when he’s tied up. so I made 3 picspams of the times he’s been tied up on Once. 😀 just thought I’d share.
Love it!

This morning, something occurred to me I thought would be worth sharing. City Mayors report to County Mayors. County Mayors report to Governors. Governors report to the State Legislature.
So here is a question about Storybrooke, ME. Is it on the map? If so, who does Regina report to? A county Mayor? Does that Mayor report to a state governor? See where I’m going? Does the “magic” expand outward, from beyond Storybrooke in American government hierarchy….and how far….what is the result of influence?
Could make for some great writing!
I remember Regina saying she was in touch with the state about the two orphans (Hansel and Gretel).
As to real government, I found this on the New York City government site. I’d never seen a list like this before so I thought it was interesting.

In the first picture we have
Henry dressed in Enchanted Forest clothes with bow and arrow (tip of arrow on fire)…he is standing on a box, next to a tiled/brick wall with his back to the rest of the group. .In the second picture that features him we have…

Daniel T. Thomsen @danielthomsen
If I had time travel, I’d use it to investigate my theory that Reese’s PB Cup quality control has dipped precipitously since the ’80s.
Expand11 Dec Adam Horowitz @AdamHorowitzLA
@danielthomsen your trip back may be the CAUSE of the quality dip. Which means you WILL have time travel.
Expand Reply Retweet Favorite11 Dec Daniel T. Thomsen @danielthomsen
@AdamHorowitzLA Conflicted feelings. I really miss those well-made Reese’s. But time travel is neat too. Guess I’ll find out soon. Or not.
Expand11 Dec Adam Horowitz @AdamHorowitzLA
@danielthomsen you will, I was there. Not past me but future me who tried to stop you. Even tho I knew you would succeed. Because u had.The more I think about this whole Back to the Future thing the better it gets.
We do have multiple time travel books that could be used including A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. To write the book he would have had to go “back.”
We have lots of little robots in Gold’s store…definately a “future” thing.
We have the Enchantment Under the Sea dance where Marty sings on stage. When Emma was on stage and Henry in the audience (for the debate) huge fish props are in the background. In the Under the Sea scene we have dolphins on the banner…in Desperate Souls we have dolphins on the banners…not cartoonish but rather more like the sea horses in the Marty on stage scene.
We have microphones in Neal’s apartment similar to the one Marty used…
Since I haven’t looked for this connection these are the first things that come to my mind…it will be fun looking for more. Please post if you find some. Even if this theory is wrong…this could be a lot of fun.

Is the figure on the left supposed to be Charming? I don’t think the guy on the right has a wooden peg leg, that’s probably Henry just rushing to get down all he knows before he forgets.
That looks like a bow and arrow set on the right figure’s back. Is he meant to be the huntsman or a nod to Robin Hood?
I think you are right about the leg…and yes Henry is writing the Huntsman down and it is Charming on the left so that is probably the Huntsman on the right.
