I was wondering that, myself, abowlingball.
I’m more interested in seeing Neal and his reunion with Emma and meeting Henry for the first time….finding out if he is, in fact, Bae – and his & Rumple’s reaction, is he also Peter Pan.
Cora and Regina seeing each other for the first time in years.
Who wrote Henry’s book?
What’s up with all the Stephen King clues….not just nods….they’re all over the place.
[adrotate group="5"]Actually, they show Jefferson bringing the hat to Regina. It was in Regina’s castle that they used it to go to Wonderland. It would have still been in the castle when she got back from Wonderland with her father. She wouldn’t have had to go to Jefferson’s place to get it 🙂
Ok, this is the last thing I’m gonna say on the subject.
The fact that this show is ‘fantasy’ promotes theatrics in the ‘violence’ scenes with villains and heroes.
.
The fact that they showed ‘realistic’ violence in a fanatsy type show is what stands out about that particular scene.The scene with Hook abusing Belle ‘in a realistic manner’ doesn’t fit in with the campy, coreographed violence that has, so far, been portrayed on the show.
That type of realistc violence is more along the lines of a CSI or Criminal Minds type show, because they are ‘realistic’….or, at least, supposed to be.
You wouldn’t expect to see the ‘un-sub’ to be going around crushing bloodless, glowing, plastic hearts into dust on one of those shows because it’s not realistic.
By the same token, I didn’t expect to see such ‘real’ brutality on a fantasy show.
Had Hook waved his arm and Belle flew into the wall and was tied to it by protruding vines, fine…..that doesn’t happen in real life……but abuse does.
Theatrics vs. Realism.Again, a character using theatrical, choreographed, verging on cartoonish means to kill/harm another character is NOT the same thing as watching a ‘man’ beat a woman into unconsciousness.
Using such a realistic means to portray a character and/or their frame of mind puts him on the same level as a loser abusive husband/boyfriend/father.
If my father or husband abused me and/or my kids….no, he WOULD NOT be redeemable.
That’s the difference.
Anyone is a possibility, but if August had a hand in writing the book, why would he wait and steal it at a later time in order to add his story?
And Bae left FTL about 250 yrs before most of the stories in the book occurred.
I am on board with the BF possibly writing it or at least having something to do with the book, but, like I said, the Stephen King connection to Jefferson is just too prominent. I’m not quite sure how it fits in, I’m working on that, but, having Jefferson live in Johnny Smith’s house from SK’s “The Dead Zone”… having the famous carnival spinning wheel game “Wheel of Fortune”, also from the DZ, in Jefferson’s livingroom…the fact that there is a Wonderland themed eps of DZ…is telling me something….
Few more pieces to the puzzle and I may just be able to form an actual theory
I didn’t like Hook even before he abused Belle.
He came off as a cocky, in love with with himself, bully with a Casanova complex.
He loved Milah – what kind of person loves and respects a woman who could just turn her back on her son and walk away from him, for her own selfish reasons – that says something about what kind of ‘person’ he is, too.
I know he’s essential to the plot, for the time being, so, I tolerate him.
But, in his case, I’m glad K&H aren’t afraid to kill off characters, with the flick of their pen, when he/she is no longer needed on the show to move the plot along.And the fact that Colin has a huge twitter following has absolutely nothing to do with anything….I’m condemning the character and his actions, not the actor.
Ok, killing a character by fantastical means like – taking out/crushing a somewhat cartoonish glowing heart, or turning them into dust, even consuming them (in poor Peter’s case) is one thing….it’s a fantasy show, and yes, villians are gonna kill ppl.
Elaborate sword fights and the fighting/defensive skills is ‘in character’ for the purpose of the show and part of the fantasy.
Having a ‘man’ beat a helpless, defenseless woman, into unconsciousness, and proceed to try and stab her to death is not the same thing. It’s a bit too realistc.
That happens all too often in real life.
True, Jefferson was trapped in Wonderland, but, after the curse, in Storybrooke, he kept his memory.
He and Regina have a strained relationship, but, a relationship, none the less.
He is the only one she could ‘reminisce’ or ‘brag’ to about ‘the old days’ during the last 28 yrs.
She was there with Snow, Charming and the wardrobe right before the curse.
Jefferson could’ve collected some of the stories from his travels, and some from Regina, after the curse.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and the inclusion of the Stephen King nods connected to Jefferson, I think, are clues pointing to the fact that Jefferson did, indeed, write the book.
