I think eventually Red may go wolf in the real world. Though now that it seems that Emma seems to be the magical causer, Red may stay human until later. Did she touch Red? I don’t think so, so maybe she is okay unless Red can be magically imbibed some other way.
[adrotate group="5"]About what the producers said, it seems to me that interview was given before the show was finished when they were still trying to pretend that the flash sideways were like an alternate reality. The thing was that they were not an alternate reality. They were real and true future times after death for all of the characters. The two times never interconnect, they are not happening concurrently, the blowing up of the bomb in the future hatch in 1977 did not create another reality.
I think from a story telling perspectives that it totally makes sense that they kept that information close to the chest into they revealed what was happening in the last episode. The thing is that this was not a flash sideways, meaning two separate and concurrent timelines. They are one timeline where what we saw on the show from Season 1 is the real in life events of the characters lives and the so called flash sideways were future events in those characters lives.
I think on ONCE and say Fringe, there are two separate realities, Storybrooke and fairytale land present which they introduced in Broken, that are happening concurrently and that is what i would consider a true flash sideways. In the past they have only had Storybrooke present and fairytale land pre curse flashback, but now we have Storybrooke present and fairytale land posthypnotic present day. Both of those times exist from time moving after Emma returns to Storybrooke her being the pivot point of this story.
Okay. Whether it is called limbo or the afterlife, what was called the flash sideways was in actuality after every characters death, which is why i am calling it the after life. Because whether you believe in limbo or that there is a place of waiting between the two is not sort of important. Either way this place is in the future of all of the characters on the show. Their future after death. Like you said some people died right away like Jack or died before like Charley or died long after like Hurley, but everyone dies. Once you die you are outside of time and in this place of waiting where they are all together.
I think it makes sense that Desmond’s mind did go to the after life because he was at such peace. I know it was never shown on screen, but the only thing that makes sense to me is that Desmond went into that machine and that took his mind to the limbo/place of waiting and he felt them all be at peace because from that moment on Desmond was no longer worried about anything. He knew that no matter what happened that eventually they would be there together.
Not to get all Biblical referencey on this, but i sort of thought about Noah. When Noah sends a dove out of the door of the ark and it returns with an olive branch. Then Noah knew that the waters were receding and that it was safe to find land. Sort of out there, but the title the dove just made me think of the story.
I also wonder how they are going to be able to give sufficient time to a storyline in each episode if they are flipping between three realities. That seems like a bit much. I know they keep saying that it works, but i am not so convinced. We will see, but i think it might make the show choppy and take us away from what we want to see too long and make that frustrating. I know i was frustrated in the Ep 1 and they weren’t even doing three times yet.
I certainly agree that short term neither of them will be redeemed. Whatever is going on with Regina and Henry this season will not be a permanent fix. I know i want to see Emma go all magic on Regina at some point.
I think that they are going to show three different timelines in Ep 2. Storybrooke, fairytale land present, and fairytale land before curse.
So i think that Cora is in fairytale land before curse and in fairytale land present, but not in Storybrooke. It shouldn’t get too confusing as long as Mulan and Aurora don’t show up in fairytale land pre curse which they so could. And also there will be young Snow and young Regina there, so i think that we will be able to tell the difference.
Also i don’t think that anyone that is in fairytale land present, where Emma and Snow are, can also be in Storybrooke. Not until they figure out how to realm jump again.
Does Frankenstein bring people back from the dead? I thought he just reanimated a corpse which is different then returning a soul to a body.
We don’t know if magic is passed down from parent to child in this world. I really don’t think we have seen any evidence that that is the case though maybe it is. Maybe Regina will just get angry enough at Cora and toss her with magic she didn’t know she had, but it may be that Regina got her magic from somewhere else on purpose to get rid of Cora. We will see.
